mi6_cafeThat’s right, it’s Friday! A new Friday means a new Weekly Chat! Don’t forget that the weekly chat is open until Friday of next week.
Anon commenting is on so you don’t need an account to join in the fun! If you are using anon comments, if you could put your name/handle in the subject line/body of the comments that would be fab (just so everyone knows who they are talking to!)
Weekly Recs
It’s time again for you to give your weekly recs! This week we’re looking for your favourite fics/art you’ve seen over the past week and those fics/art that fit into the genre of the week!
This week the genre of fanwork recs we’re looking for is: Podfic. We want those podfic fanworks which have taken those fics we know and love and put them into an audible format!
When reccing fic/art, please can you make a separate comment with ‘Week Rec’ in the subject title. If you’re commenting anon, then just put your handle in brackets after the ‘Weekly Rec’ bit - eg Weekly Rec (cass). This just helps your friendly mod hunt down all your links and put them into the weekly rec post!
Spectre Prompt Fest!
The MI6 prompt bingo table continues! We’re releasing a new prompt every week up to when Spectre is released in the UK on November 6th. You can write/draw/create anything of your choice in response to the prompt, and you can post fills for any of the revealed prompt!
This week the prompt is: Make me disappear
You can post your fills anywhere you like – tumblr, in the comments section of the weekly chat, to your own LJ! Feel free to link your fills in the chat, and don’t forget to tag your prompt fills with #mi6cafeprompt so everyone can share the 00Q love!
There is now an A03 collection that you can post your fills to!

This week’s questions
1) Have you ever listened to podfic before? What are your views on it?
2) What is the one thing you are most looking forward to in the fandom after the Spectre release? (More fic/art? More Meta? More fans to join in the fun?)
3) Are any of you planning on taking part in the reverse big bang this year?
4) Who do you think leads out of James and Q?
5) It’s a Friday night! What do you think James and Q would be doing on a Friday night? Staying in with a movie (and then argue over what movie it is?) or going out?
Feel free to add more questions below!

Date: 2015-08-09 09:18 pm (UTC)1) Have you ever listened to podfic before? What are your views on it?
- YES! I've listened to a lot of podfic already. I mostly do when I'm working or on the train. It's actually pretty great - I don't care of people have an accent, if they read with feeling, I most certainly like it.
2) What is the one thing you are most looking forward to in the fandom after the Spectre release? (More fic/art? More Meta? More fans to join in the fun?)
- Fanfic and art. Old fans re-joining the fun.
3) Are any of you planning on taking part in the reverse big bang this year?
- I'M NOT GOOD AT ANYTHING, so maybe I'll join when there's THE perfect idea. Maybe.
4) Who do you think leads out of James and Q?
- *snort* both
5) It’s a Friday night! What do you think James and Q would be doing on a Friday night? Staying in with a movie (and then argue over what movie it is?) or going out?
- When Q doesn't feel well/is exhausted from social interaction or work hours, they will stay in with a movie, possibly something light like a romcom.

Date: 2015-08-10 10:33 am (UTC)Glad to see another podfic fan on board! Like Carol, I'd love to hear your recommendations; it's been a little while since I've listened to the Bond ones! (Inception has some great podfic too, and I've listened to those more recently.)
The idea that Q and Bond both agree on romcoms as their genre of choice is fun! Do you think they do mostly vegging out (or maybe making out) during the movie, kind of just enjoying the fictional complications that don't have to do with geopolitical work crap, or are they more active watchers with predictions and snarky comments? (Or some other type of viewing style altogether, of course! ^ ^)

Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-08-11 08:12 pm (UTC)sorry, I lost all my bookmarks when my old computer crashed last year, so I gotta dig up a few recs from memory tomorrow, I'm afraid. (Hell yeah, Inception has awesome podfic!)
I think when they're both too stressed out for any making out, they comment on the storyline, the subplot, and James cheers when the two 'who obviously have the hots for each other, I mean, look at all that sexual tension' actually kiss and/or get together.
