mi6_cafeYep it's that time of the week lovely people! The cafe is open for all of your chatting needs!
Don't forget that anonymous comments are now turned ON so you don't need an LJ account to join in the fun! If you are commenting using anon comments, please can you put your name/handle in the subject of your comments! It makes it easier for everyone to know who they are talking to!
WEEKLY RECS!
This week, we're going to take a slightly different approach to the weekly recs. So as well as the recs for those fanworks you've seen during the week (art/fic/podfic/memes anything goes!), there is going to be a 'Weekly Genre' where you can rec your favourite fics of all time that come under that heading!
This weeks Weekly Genre: Fluff!! Lets see how many fanworks we can rec this week under this genre - go find that one fic or piece of artwork that you think deserves a bit more love and recognition and post it in the recs!
Halloween Exchange
The Halloween Exchange is being run over on tumblr this year, and you can now go submit your prompts! Please note that the NYP Mod asks for prompts to be written in a certain way, so take that into account when you're thinking of your prompt!
Once the creating gets underway, I'll see if there is enough interest to create a specific 'fan exchange' cheerleading thread within the Weekly Chat for everyone to share their creating woes and make sure those muses get to work!
Starter questions!
To welcome the new people to the cafe I've added some introductory questions to the top of the list, which you are free to use/not use to introduce yourself!
Who goes there? Introduce yourself!
1) Name
2) Ususal internet home
3) What is it that you love about 00Q?
4) Favourite 00Q headcannon
5) Favourite 00Q fanwork (NB Put at ** next to the links if you want these fics to be included in the weekly recs too!)
Everyone is standing around drinking everything from tea to scotch! Quick, give us some ice breaker questions!
1) if Q and James had superpowers what would they be and why?
2) What is the one thing you love about the 00Q fandom community?
3) If James and Q were lost on an island with only a radio, a pair of horrendously ugly underpants, and a box of ice lollies, what do you think would happen? (Short fics or artwork using this a prompt is welcomed and very much encouraged)
4) One thing you hate about the creative process, and why
5) Anything you want to see included in the MI6 Cafe (This kind of depends on your dear mod's time allowances, but I'd love to see your ideas for the cafe and where this little comm could go!)
As ususal, you can add more questions if you wish! More chatting the merrier!

Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-06-07 11:07 am (UTC)As you say audiobooks are long to listen to in one sitting, maybe we could suggest a list of books (Maybe some that are free e-books + audiobooks to cover everyone's tastes) that are available for book club, and then everyone can read at their own pace.
To start with, we could just have a separate thread in the weekly chat for the 'book club' chat (like how there is a separate thread for the weekly recs right now) for people to discuss the books during the month. Then at the end of the month have like a 'book club hang out' where everyone can discuss the books they've read etc and what it's like/what bits they hated.
If they're enough interest, then it could be carried forward more as a monthly/bimonthly book club meet up rather than a one-off fest, but the likelihood is I'll see if someone is interested in actually running that as I know I wouldn't be able to do it every month (although I'm quite happy to make the fest based stuff to start it all off)
