Introduction/Paryt/Hang Out Post!

[amaresu]

So, apparently this community has 211 members with 308 subscribers and I bet you barely know each other. I know that I barely know you. So we are having an introduction/party/hang out post of greatness!

What do you do here? Introduce yourself in a comment, reply to other peoples comments, talk about that bizarre idea you've had and didn't think anyone else would be interested in, throw out some ideas you think this comm could have fun with, basically have fun and get to know each other. There's no wrong way to do this. Except .gif spamming in a top level comment because there are still people out there on dial up.

I'll go first in the comments.

Comments

I want to see the conversation about women in fiction expand, a lot, and I'm at a loss as to how to start that conversation myself. I want to talk about things like role models, broken women, women and trauma, asexuality, bisexuality, rough sex, threesomes, romantic friendships and other things. I just don't know where to start.

I'd love to talk about all that too, but I think you'd really have to break it down. Maybe a series of posts? Or something? Is there any particular type of fiction?

If you wanted to have open posts about the subjects in this comm, and didn't always want to be the one to post to them, I would be happy to guest host something here.

That would be neat. I know awesome_women does theme months, so probably don't want to steal that directly. What did you have in mind?

Basically, I was thinking you could invite people to host discussions of certain topics. I mean, it would be basically "post a question, start the discussion in the comments, try to keep it going" kind of thing. Less than a meta, more of a discussion, you know?

That sounds good. If you want to take this idea and run with it I would be okay with that.

(Really, I just suck at posting things on anything resembling a set schedule. This is why I don't volunteer for newsletters.)
