DPP: Supportive Sunday

[witherwings]

Hello everyone :) I hope you're all having a lovely Sunday :) A couple of housekeepingy bits before I reveal today's DPP.

Over at yesterday's post there's a lot of excellent prompts so please do fire up your muse and see if you can write a response to one of them. The only ficlet we have so far in response is here by kdbleu, so please do drop in,

Things I do to be supportive

In the past I have been dreadful at leaving comments on fic - I'd read them and move on. I'm turning over a new leaf however because I've been lurking at bsg_epics and it was mentioned recently that it can be disheartening if people don't comment - which made a lot of sense. So to be supportive I'm trying to remember to leave some comment on every fic I read.

I'm also really trying to comment on DPPs, because someone is going to the effort of thinking of stuff and it seems only fair they don't feel like they're shouting into the darkness. It doesn't always work out that way, but I am trying to remember.

Shoutouts

You are all amazing here at no_takebacks. I love how you've all jumped in to this week's DPPs with both feet. I've really enjoyed running them for you because of the response I've had.

I want to bring particular love to sci_fi_shipper and taragel who seem to be behind a lot of the continuing love for our characters, and the continuing life in our ship. They run leeadama_daily and karathracelives respectively and organised pilots_presents summer fic exchange (please do go

I guess the most anyone can do to support the fandom is simply be involved in it - read the comms, comment (on DPPs here, fics elsewhere) and generally be nice to each other. Because without people on the comms, we'd pretty much be floundering alone wondering if we're loonies to feel the way we do about these characters - I know I would, anyway - and fandom is really about sharing love. Well, that and getting a sympathetic ear to bitch about the bad parts with :)

Absolutely :) Nice insight :)

Shoutouts to everyone here for being so incredibly welcoming ♥ I'm so glad I found this comm, having only gotten into the fandom about six months ago, having a place to share the love and discuss the show/ship totally blows my mind!

[witherwings]

We're really pleased to have you! :) New shippers are always welcome :D

Shoutout to y'all for showing up every day and chatting and making fun and posting thinky thoughts and pretty pictures and fic and vids and just....keeping it going. I think it's such a huge boon to all of us that this comm is one of, if not the, most active comm in BSG fandom on LJ right now. The talent and the generosity of our Pilots shipper nation is unparalleled. CHEERS! \o/ ♥ ♥ ♥

I'd noticed that when I was doing some poking around, and it's a real pleasure to be involved with such an active comm - where everyone has been so welcoming too.
