Reading Room XVI - Stories with Sequels - plans and schedule

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

We have enthusiasm and we have volunteers and stories to go with them!

I've re-titled Reading Room XVI as "Stories with Sequels", to make it more clear that a "series" for this theme might be made up of anything from two to twenty thousand stories. We have a start for this, and a few people who've said they'd like to review stories and shall think of a series to start with, so hopefully this will continue!

If you'd like to volunteer, you can either choose a story-with-sequels, and review the first story in the series, or offer to do the whole series, one each week. Whatever you'd like to do, that's what I'll add to the schedule, and we can fill in the gaps as we go along.

Please comment below if you'd like to volunteer to post about a story, one Thursday (or more!) to come... or just to comment... *g*

Is a B/C universe acceptable?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the delay - yes, of course the B/C universe is acceptable (as far as ci5hq is concerned, anyway - I can't speak for how many people will read/respond, of course)!

I suppose I can take the three open Thursday dates for the Carnal Interest trio.

Sorry for the delay - excellent, thank you!

And actually I've had a thought for another series I'd like to do (or at least start, and see how we get on), which will stretch us into August, so if you feel the need to swap later on, we probably could... *g*

[gilda-elise.livejournal.com]

No way. I'm going to be doing my Ricardian thing in August. I'm taking my laptop and will try to follow along, but there's no way I'd have the time to do a real post of any kind. I'll be following Richard! *g*

Oh, and I knew that! July then... *vbg*

Hmmn... does your RIchard look a bit like our Doyle in our icons here?! Or am I imagining that...?!

[gilda-elise.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little. :-) I've always thought a young MS would have been perfect to play Richard. Imagine this picture superimposed.

Yes! That's it exactly! *vbg*
