*how do we want to run the A/T resource thread - ie. what do want it to do?
*do we want a kind of monthly format with regular features - eg. one interview a month (of either a writer or a reader), a couple of reviews, a kind of "what's happening in my A/T fic/s" update from all the writers. and a few little snippets about whatever tickles a contributor's fancy - eg. a review of a profic book, any kind of research article on A/T eg. a timeline, a bit of humour, etc etc.
*do we want specific people to be in charge of certain things, or do we want 2-3 people to take responsibility for each area and work as a team?
*do we want Anakin back? er . . . silly question
*what would YOU like the thread to do? Original ideas welcome. happy
*how can we utilise some of our talented artists? eg. a cover art service for A/T writers?
*do we want a kind of overseer who coordinates everyone?
*do we want a fairly structured format - ie. (assuming a four week cycle) week one - interview; week two - review etc., or do we want it to fly casual? grin
*do we want challenges?


Hmm... my first thought is, without prejudice against this would a 'fic-and-chat thread in ByTS work better than anything in WR?

... or should we even try to reopen the Death Star Disco Lounge? shock laugh

*Ewok asks this from changing-room as he hurriedly changes into his disco-dress Grand Admiral's uniform with the gleaming white fabric, gold-bullion trim and rhinestones* tongue

A "magazine"-style format could have "columns"... and also competitions...

Obviously, the main thing is, whatever we do - it should be A/T based; and it should be primarily, inherrently readable!!

EDIT: Thanks for the cake! *munches* grin

And the mulled wine! *hic!* cool

hugs , Tahi!!

*waves at Mags, Yobi and JD*

Thanks for that research, Mags. happy

Yes - when we were told that we couldn't have 3 threads in Resource we did combine the scrapbook with this thread. Probably - as you say - that would still be the best arrangement.

We have a scrapbook thread in the ByTS forum where we used to post the edited contributions to the scrapbook, too, which is still there. So we could keep that one. happy

What do you think about having winners for challenges? It would require a judge or a panel of judges each time.

Yay! [hands cake and wine around to JD and Yoda, and slaps Yoda's hand when he tries to take 3 slices. Tut tut. Pace yourself boy, pace ypurself.] wink

Ah - the Disco Lounge - [drags out Mistral style suit from cupboard and winks at Boba Fett poster] Fond memories.

Hey - that IS an idea, Thrawn.

Do you still think a resource thread here is workable as well? We want FUN and we don't want anyone to be overloaded with work. Those 2 things are important.

I would be willing to be a judge of challenges since I never participate in them tongue

*sighs* having winners and searching for voluteers for judges each time would take a lot of time. Also it would mean that the fanbase and authors are more then the handful we are here currently. I am not very eager for announce winners for challanges. (May also be that I am scared of such things tongue )

Checking in. I think it's best that we have several people in charge of each section. That way, a section isn't delayed because the person responsible is confronted by DRL.

Cool - happy That would work well.

Are you still okay with doing the Index, Yoda? Or do you need help?

We could have votes? thinking

I think one thing we want to look at is having the smartest, best thread out there! Something that *looks* amazing, visually, and full of awesome content, which I know I'd get with you guys on board!

Umm, I'm not even sure I have the password anymore blush Did you ever put back all the stuff that got deleted? I can probably update it soon.

[offers JA a slice of Xmas cake and a glass of mulled wine] happy Great to see you.

I agree. I think a group would be better because there's always going to be DRL things cropping up. It's unavoidable. Team work is IMO the best way.

And if we thought monthly was too much work, we could make it every two months.

Or have ongoing reviews and other features with a two-monthly interview - so it's a fairly fluid type of thing.

an alternating magazine kind of thing .. so that every month something different is in the previous month.
for example regulary are the newest fics in and news and then is put in a review and the other month an interview

Oh, I also think it might be best if we locked the A/T index and started a new one. Having everything jammed into one post makes updating a nightmare with all the coding and stuff.

Edit: And jagsredlady has agreed to help me with the A/T index so we should have it covered wink
