The Reading Room - feedback, please
May. 2nd, 2009 12:53 pmSorry to be boring, but I feel the need to consult. So while there's lots of people here at CI5hq, I'd be very grateful for opinions on the Reading Room, and in particular:
(1) Would it be a good thing for the Reading Room to be fortnightly or even monthly, instead of weekly?
I’m sorry to say that it’s going to have to be fortnightly for a while, anyway, because I have massive work deadlines at the end of May.
(2) Recent fic and current writers.
We are limited in the fics we can discuss by needing to avoid work by writers who are in or aware of this comm, because they are likely to be sensitive about candid comments (at least, that’s how I see it). And there are such superb writers in our midst, with wonderful bodies of work already published and hopefully more to come, and we’re missing out. Now someone much cleverer than me has independently suggested what could well be the solution to this, viz.:
A writer to volunteer some of their own (online) fic/s for the Reading Room and discuss and/or answer questions about the fic/s and the process of writing.
Does anyone else think that would be a good idea? Well, obviously it’s a good idea, what I really mean is, is anyone likely to be up for it? Put natural modesty aside for a moment, and think how satisfying it would be to have the opportunity to explain the how, when and why of your creations, your inspirations and aims, to a sympathetic audience.
