Sorry, my Canada Day weekend plans for a social, mini-prompt fest, etc., have fallen through the cracks -- this month has been one crisis after another for me in RL, and I just don't have time to plan the party I wanted to. HOWEVER! If any of y'all want to step up and throw a fest instead? PLEASE DO!! All I ask is for it to be an ALL-character-love type of shindig because exclusion & bashing make the mods super-cranky, as we cherish every character, including BOTH Rays, Stella, Meg, Frannie, Gardino, Turnbull, Welsh, and stop me before I list the whole cast. *g*

Again, my apologies for falling down on the job here. I hope you all have a fabulous, safe, and happy Canada Day weekend, wherever in the world you are! With luck, I'll be able to put something festive together a bit later this summer. Thanks!

Can just anyone host a fest? Because I would be delighted to do so... if someone wanted to tell me what doing so entails? I have never fested before... I'd be happy to throw in some sketch art to such a event too. What are others thinking?

If you need any help... XD

I think you come up with events, or themes, or something to get people active and participating. I'm gonna be away most of that week, but I can throw in whenever I have a connection.

Sounds do-able... probably going to need a bit more clarification or assistance from others- my email/gchat is my live journal name @gmail if anyone wants to chat with me about making this happen. Of course, if someone who knew what they were doing wanted to step up, I'd be happy to assist instead. I totally think this should happen though, so I'm willing to do whatever is required to make it so. :-D

I tried looking back a bit to see if there were any other social events like this one, but came up short (that and I'm baking without air-conditioning so more braindead than usual.) Maybe run a ficlet challenge? Like... "See how many drabbles/ficlets you can post by tomorrow, noon?"

YAY! Thank you! Some things that were on my list: a DS/C6D picspam post, where people post pics in the comments. A series of Mad Libs, where someone says "comment with 4 verbs, 7 adjectives, etc." and then edits the post several hours later revealing the DS/C6D-related drabble. (Repeated as often as desired.) A multi-fanwork prompt meme. A group skype viewing of the Pilot, MOTB, and/or COTW. Another get-to-know-you social questionnaire post. Stuff like that. Feel free to take any or all of these and run with them. Again, the main rule is to welcome fannish love of ALL the characters/zero tolerance for bashing. Manifestos on why Gardino is awesome need to be as welcome as Vecchio/Stella, F/K romance, plotty gen AUs, etc. :)

*zips off again to deal with pile of other things*

Yay, Canada Day and fandom! I'd be a very willing participant if I see any activities posted for this!
