Well April is here (apparently it's April Fools Day but this post has no bearing on that) and so I thought now would be a good time for a retrospective

Polls are always fun, I think. Especially as they often spark off other discussions.
I have had a sudden thought, what about some kind of graphic challenge? Not one of those where you have to vote for your favourite, but like the fiction one, people can make banners, icons, whatever. You could post a few screencaps and let people make what they felt like from those, or give a theme. Something for the non-writers, maybe? Or writers who like to graphic as well.
I'm a recovering addict myself ;-) As I always say, a girl can never have too many icons (especially dS ones) a banner challenge would be fun too, I haven't made many banners so it's something new.
This is my favourite dS community for many reasons including: 1. It's always on-topic. 2. There are enough posts to keep me interested but not so many that it takes over my friends page. 3. The posts are both varied and interesting (and often educational!)
Overall I think this is a great comm, I do feel able to post myself (I'm just too lazy!) I enjoy the polls and finding out what other people like about dS, the discussions are always enlightening and enjoyable. You've been doing a brilliant job, I'm sorry that it seems to fall on you to keep the comm active, I'll try to overcome my laziness and post more often!

Thank you! I'm so glad you feel that way. Comments like that really make me feel it's all worthwhile. So thank you.

I actually love doing things like setting polls and putting together screencap posts. I havea great time with it. Sometimes you just have moments of self-doubt. But then you get a response like this nad you feel better.
And an idea like a graphic challenge surfaces. I certainly think we'll do one of those.

You're welcome! I forgot to thank you for making this comm in the first place. As much as I love RayK there is just too little RayV appreciation in the other comms and I have to thank you for filling that gap.

I'm glad you enjoy it and I'm sure it gives you a good excuse to re-watch all those dS episodes!

Excellent! I'm looking forward to it already. I have a whole load of screencaps that I took from the DVDs so if you need any pics just let me know.
I'm appreciative of the effort you put into this comm^_^ I think if there's something I'd like to see more of is rec lists or just recs for fics/vids/icons.
I'm familiar with the show and I love it and its slashy relationship, but must admit that I know nothing about the DS fandom. So a newbie guide to Classic Fics or Must-See vids or the well-known authors on lj/in fandom would be really helpful. A lot of fandoms compile newbie guides like that, though I understand not many would like to try it because of the effort in compilation.

I was hesitant about doing this becuase of the fact there's the comm devoted to ds recs. However as they don't rec all that much to do with S1&2 or F/V I think certainly we should have some here.

This is a really good idea. I think we often take for granted people knowing about stuff. I will certianly try some sort of newbie rec post for the post comm. Thank you for that idea.
In the meantime fic-wise you might want to check out the recs I did for rec50. All are Fraser/Vecchio slash and there's quite a selection. A lot of the good authors and fics are in there. At least the ones I think are good *g

Most of it is RayK. Even on the Crackvan. It's a bit frustrating really.

Thank you. I'll definitely take a look.

It is. I think it would be agood idea to so some recs here.
I did some recs fr ds_recs about 5 months ago now:
http://ds-recs.livejournal.com/13708.html - on F/V slash
http://ds-recs.livejournal.com/15312.html - on the friendship
http://ds-recs.livejournal.com/16495.html - F&V character stuff
http://ds-recs.livejournal.com/18323.html - 2 axes scene rec
They include fic recs too.
Thank you. I'll definitely take a look.
My pleasure. Hope you find it useful.
