Too cool for subject

Hey yeah, I would be interested. Very much! If I may suggest something though... Could we make this like a book club thing? Somebody suggests a fic, then we all read it until some agreed time, and then we discuss? Gives everybody the chance to be on the same page at the same time :) Plus, with so much good fic out there, I am always happy to have somebody tell me what to read next ;-)

I quite like the book club idea. It'd give a sense of cohesion to the occasions. *g*

But that limits us to fics that few of us have read which brings it closer to a rec community rather than just discussion. Id rather keep it looser, with classic fic being read alongside newer stuff. A fic a week could certainly be a part of the thing, but I'd like to leave it open to other discussions too.

Oh, I don't think it needs to be limiting at all. Just to give people, who haven't read the fic yet, a chance to catch up so to speak, or to warm the memory up. I really love the idea of "discussing" (with absolutely no mean business happening) a fic in depth, but I think I'd mostly only feel comfortable doing that if I had just recently read it. For which I need some time. But to have a weekly "fixed" discussion item and to have the rest be free for whatever somebody wants to bring up, is totally okay with me.

I'm fine with a book club or reading circle thing as part of the whole; it's a very good idea - but I'd like the com to be open to other discussions at the same time, I think.

So, good. I think I might start working on setting this up. I just need to check one or two things first. (o:

We could include a weekly read and discuss thing, if enough people want that, but I don't want to be too limiting, and I'm thinking a lot of people will already have read the fics that get discussed. As I say, I don't want this to be a rec com - there are already plenty of those around; this is just for *talking* about fics.

I'm hoping, since most of us are writers, that if a list member's fic is up for discussion, the writer would join in and bring some insight to the talk. I'm just thinking ideas through at the moment.
