fellytone_fic, which was a community for people to record and post themselves reading alout HP fanfiction. To which I said coolness!, except it was HP-only and I'm multi-fandom. And then there was podslash, also much with the ass-rockage, which was multi-fandom but slash only, and I write gen and het and yuri too (although admittedly not as much). So basically, I think fic recording comms are a really neat idea, but I'm multi-fandom and multi-genre and deplore fandom and genre delineations and prejudices. So basically, I want to make an all-fandom, all-genre fic-recording comm. Any fandom, any rating, gen, slash, het femslash, anything.
But then I started thinking, 'cause I like reading aloud so much, wouldn't it be fun, too, to have a place where we could share readings of ActualOMGPublished! works? Poetry, short stories, chapters of favorite novels, Harry Potter impressions, whatever? This would again be all genres, all styles--poetry and prose, genre and mainstream, fiction and nonfiction, basically anything that might be interesting or fun to read aloud.
And then I started turning further possibilities over and drowning in a whirl of ideas. Bubble bubble, gurgle gurgle.
And then I sat back and thought, dude, would anybody be interested in any of this anyway?
Enter the allmighty opinion poll, cloaked guardian of truth and justice in the troubled streets of LJ!
[Poll #594719]
And, extra-finally, please pimp this! (Where appropriate and not void by law, of course. And I dislike my current layout enough that you should take it as a startlingly good sign that I want total strangers to see it. :P) I want opinions from people beyond just my friendslist, since theoretically if I create either of these comms, they'd also involve people beyond just my friendslist, people in fandoms I'm not in, etcetera, etcetera. Let's start a revolution of fen with microphones, wot!
