Posting on behalf of vermultitude
Dear Fawkes,
I am sorry that this has turned into a mess. I know that you are all Harry Potter fans and that this was based off of a Harry Potter community. I know that we have loss a lot of people and we have lost a lot of steam. Here is one of my proposals.
I will leave Fawkes alone, to whoever wishes to run it. While I do not have the energy to run an all out Harry Potter only sorting community, I do and can/will run a book community if people are interested.
If you would like me to butt out, please, don't read below the cut.
Fawkes Reunion sorted people into houses and then we competed as houses for the "House Cup". This was both fun and a bit tiresome to keep up with. So, I'm sure some of you have seen the book comm where you post a list and basically get snarked and slammed.
I propose something like that. Only, perhaps with a bit more. A person would apply with basically, this:
Name:
Age:
What You're Reading Right Now:
Opinions:
What You Like to Read:
And Why:
A Book Reccomendation:
Why:
Something Fun:
What kind of Drink would you Be and Why:
While we cannot sort people into Harry Potter houses, we can talk about their books. Discuss their books, turn them over and see what we think about them. Okay, yes, I'm a bit elitist, so there will be an "accepted" and a "not accepted" vote.
This comm would focus a bit more on fantasy, since I like fantasy and I am mainly pitching this to you HP people first. Also, I know we love to be all inclusive and we love democracy, but I do not. Yeah, there will be guidelines and the like.
Uh, those of us ported over from Fawkes would decide what kind of categories we wanted. I am asking for five silly and sort of trivial and yet something we can bond over. Like MARTINI COMIC BOOKS or something. Seriously fun and light. SERIOUS BUSINESS NO MORE.
In general the comm would be like maybe two communities. One for disucssion and another for apps and recs.
Would we compete? Maybe, but it would be something easy to tally and easy to reward.
How about that?
That is what I can offer you, as AJ, vermultitude, ex-Senior Head of Fawkes. I cannot offer you Harry Potter or salvation from the lack of Senior Headness. I'm sorry, but I stepped down because I couldn't handle it.
Much love,
AJ
