Random Reading Room - Theme Months?
Jan. 19th, 2011 08:35 amI don't know about anyone else, but I find I'm rather missing the Reading Room discussions (even though I didn't participate in them all...) I've been reading Echo, Broadcast Difficulties and The Cook and the Warehouseman (waah, I'm nearly finished!) over the last week or so, and then I watched the full moon setting as a huge copper disc this morning, and I feel like I might be in the mood for some more Pros SciFi fic, and I was thinking...
...is anyone interested in perhaps a month of "themed" Reading Room discussions? I was thinking of a science fiction theme for the first month, but that's just cos it's what I'm reading - it could be anything: curtain fic, case-based fic, hurt/comfort, bdsm, romance - any theme at all. We could have a quick call out for fic suggestions to fit the theme, maybe a poll to choose four fics out of those suggestions (if there were enough!), and then either someone could volunteer to "lead" the discussion as per the old Reading Room discussions, or we could just open it up to everyone for comments on a particular day of the week - is Thursday still good for everyone? - and chat away? Then, if we were enjoying it, organise a new theme for the next month?
Re the science fiction suggestion - there's a list of some Pros scifi stories here, and I'm sure there are others that aren't yet on that list!
To make it easy for everyone - let's do this as a poll! And of course do comment below, as well, with other ideas/thoughts etc
