Quick meta post

[mindcrack_love]

First, tell me which would you rather have:

* Post directly to the community every time you have a relevant observation/prompt, however small. This means a lot of "spam"/clutter - probably many posts a day, all of which will be very short - but everything will be taggable, and generally there won't be issues with expanding comments and such.

* A post once every week for prompts and observations, which centralizes discussion and means less community spam, but is harder to categorize and expanding comments is pretty much unavoidable

* A post once every day (or every other day) for prompts and observations, which is a compromise between the two

*************

Secondly, if you have written fanfiction in Mindcrack, please let me know if you own an account to the Archive of our Own. I'd like a concerted effort to get fanfic on there and begin preparation for organized participation in yuletide 2012.

*************

Thirdly, as the need arises, I will be making "mindcracker: x" tags for each member of the server, as well as "fanserver: y" and "other: z" tags. Do we need more tags than those? I'd prefer not to have pairing tags, instead letting people just search for multiple tags in combination.

Comments

I have no problem with expanding posts, or searching through a community post like the Sunday one, but if there is opposition to that, I'm fine, too. I think perhaps a combination of both would be a good idea. Having a once-a-week discussion post could be really nice, but there should be nothing against making a new post about other observations as well. There are only five of us, so I don't forsee it becoming too cluttered any time soon. I just know that for myself personally, I'm more on the kurtjmac spectrum of not wanting to bother people, so I'd be more likely to put a comment to a discussion post vs. making a whole new post if all I want to say is some small observation (i.e. "This quote from this episode is shippy, heee~!" vs. "Here is a long thought-out meta post about the Death Games" or something, which I would feel more comfortable posting about separately.)

I pretty much concur with this. I'm fine either way. :)

I've made a decision; I'll announce it with the next set of Mashed Potatoes.

But meanwhile, since you've written fic for us: do you have an AO3 account?

[guiltyshirts]

I technically do, but I only made it to archive a small clutch of fics from various authors I used to have on a Geocities site. So not anything I can use for this. I don't mind if someone else wants to add my stuff to AO3 though.

[mindcrack_love]

You could make a new pseud for it, or post it then orphan it? Or I guess I could make a "From the archives of Mindcrack Love" type pseud and post on your behalf, but that feels a bit awkward to me.

[guiltyshirts]

Fair enough, I'm up for making a new pseud for it. Let me know what to use for catagories/tags/things. :)

Looking at the AO3 for the first time since Yuletide, and here's what I think would be best:

Fandom: Mindcrack (hey, if Yogscast can be their own thing, why not, right?) categorized under "Other Media" [EDIT: and you can also include Fandom: Minecraft, which is under "Video Games"], full Youtube usernames for every Mindcracker involved, and then the rest is up to you.
