It's been a few weeks now since our last Reading Room, and it seems a bit tumble-weed-y over here, so I think we should play a new game! Are you reading Pros fic? When was the last time you read any Pros fic? Wouldn't it be nice to read some now? *g* What about having a wee flurry of Pros fic rec (or review) posts this week to brighten things up a bit around here?

If you're not currently reading a Pros fic, then maybe try a Random Fic from Circuit Archive - hit the "Random" button, read whatever fic it pulls up, and then make a post to [livejournal.com profile] ci5hq and write a wee little review about it here.

Posts can be as simple or as fancy as you like.

Got more time on your hands at the moment? Go crazy - a picture post inspired by the fic you just read, a quick review accompanied by an embedded vid of the music it made you think of... the vid you made for it yourself! The story it inspired you to write! A photo of the lads you knitted to match a scene in the story you just read! Anything! *g*

Still working? A simple sentence saying whether you liked it and would rec it would do just fine too.

It seems like now might be a good time to feel a bit more like a community again - wanna give it a go? *g*

I'd planned to make this post a week ago yesterday, so many apologies that it's so late - work ran straight into a wee weekend holiday without giving me time to post, and when I came back poor old lj was under attack. I'm posting now in the hope that we'll stay up (though I had a few scary "bad gateway" pages a few minutes ago, so cross fingers...) Anyway...

Thanks everyone who replied to the poll and/or made suggestions the other week. Our next theme, by popular vote, will indeed be The Lads on Holiday! And we should probably define "the lads on holiday" as stories where the lads purposely go away from the job on holiday. They might stay in London, but they should be on holiday!

I don't yet have a list of Lads on Holiday stories over at Palelyloitering, though I could have sworn we made one once (or maybe that was just PhotoShoot Snap! *g*), so...

1 - What are your favourite Lads on Holiday fics, and we'll start a list now?
2 - and most importantly - would anyone like to volunteer to rec/review a Lads on Holiday story, please? Dates as below, to start with...

Thurs 4th August - Since Eve At the Apples by Callisto - [livejournal.com profile] milomaus
Thurs 11 August - Of Sunshine and Cemeteries by Slantedlight - [livejournal.com profile] unoriginal_liz
Thurs 18 August - Nice Boys by Lizzie - [livejournal.com profile] byslantedlight
Thurs 25 August - Alfresco by Cherilyn - [livejournal.com profile] moonlightmead
Thurs 1st September - Sun, Sea, Sand and Absolutely, Categorically, No Excitement by Jojo - [livejournal.com profile] callistosh65

And finally the next Reading Room Themes, as suggested, will be... )
