mi6_cafeTeam Fest 2016
Participants will be put into teams (Team Bond, Team Q, Team Villain, Team MI6) and by taking part in the fest you earn points for your team! The team with the most points at the end of the month’s fest will be announced the winner! (Not sure quite what the prize will be yet, most likely moral victory and a banner you can proudly display on whatever social media you so choose).
Tentative Timelines
Sign ups – January 2016
Team Allocation - February 2016
Fest – March 2016
Points System
As the 00q fandom is a very friendly fandom, points will be self-policed. We’re not going to check how many comments you’ve really posted or check your wordcounts/number of hours you’ve spent making content because we’re all adults here and we know how to play nice.
To assist this, there will be Team Leaders (you will be able to note your interest if you want to be a team leader on the sign up form) who will be responsible for collecting their team’s points (ie manage a google spreadsheet with numbers) and will then forward those points to your friendly mod (me) to update the points at the end of the week.
More info about how many points per comment/word/hour will be included in the main fest info that will appear around December.
Weekly Chat Changes
The Weekly Chat will now be open over the entire week instead of just at the weekend to allow everyone to come and pop in to join in the chatting. To reflect this, there will be longer questions/challenges/prompts to keep the conversation going over the week.
Book Club/Movie Club
Yay Books! Yay Movies! As we all know James Bond covers a variety of genres so we’re going to host a book fest for all things book-ish and James Bond. It will be a place to come and chat about the Bond Books and get some really good discussions going about them.
As I am only one person with so much time, I would ask if someone would like to volunteer to organise/run the Book/movie club! Either post a comment on this post or send me a message to the Café Mod account saying you’d like to do it.
Spectre Fest
It would be awesome to do something in the run up to Spectre’s release, so the Café is going to have a bingo card for prompts, and release a new bingo prompt each week for everyone to create lots of 00Q creations for!
Spectre is going to be released on the 6th November (that’s about 19 weeks away) so there will be 20 juicy prompts to get your creative teeth into! Prompts will be released on the same day the Weekly Chat is posted (Friday).
As always, if you want to put an idea for the comm or have an idea that you want to help out with/organise (even if it's not written here) then please leave a comment/send me a message! The comm is designed to be open and inclusive and that extends to any ideas people have about what they want to see from the comm!!

Date: 2015-06-23 01:38 am (UTC)ALSO: I found this! http://www.5novels.com/book/James_Bond-1/ It's not in a handy epub format or anything, but it does appear to be an online version of Casino Royale. So we've got the audiobook on youtube, and now a web browser version (and a google doc version bc I copy-pasted the pages into a single file; it's about 122 pages).

Edit - you can tell I haven't had enough caffeine yet - if you could send an email to me on the email I've just sent to you so I can get your email that would be fab! :)
