House-keeping of sorts

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

We-the-mods were talking amongst ourselves the other day, realising (at last...) that hey, there's a summer solstice too (that's "Hey, there's a winter solstice too!" if you're living in the Southern Hemisphere). If you guys wanted, we could do this all again with sign-ups starting in April and posting during the first three weeks of June instead of waiting for the later months of the year.

How's about it?

AND IT WOULD NOT BE NEARLY AS HECTIC AS IN THE WINTER!

\o/

Though that, too, depends on where you live, I suppose.

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

HELL YES.

AND THEN I WILL SEND YOU FIVEMILLION EDITS OF MY SUMMER FIC TOO.

YAY.

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

AND WE WILL IGNORE ALL BUT THE FIRST OF THEM.

YAY.

;p

JOY ALL AROUND.

(This seriously made me laugh so hard. :D)

I'd be game! This was a ton of fun, and I'd love to have a summer fic project to look forward to. ^_^

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there'll be something by way of fic exchanges, but yeah. Looks like we're making another go of it.

um . . . my immediate thought was that rather than mistletoe and cuddly winter and xmas themes there might be opportunities for shirtless summer fics with swimming and sweating and . . . stuff like that. yay.

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Or short sleeves. *imagines Sherlock in a short-sleeved shirt*

Yes.

[2ndskin.livejournal.com]

ahhhhh. arm!porn. we got to see moriarty in shortsleeves--why not all the boys? you think sherlock and I'll think lestrade. very pretty, indeed.

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

I hadn't even thought of that. :D

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

Having just discovered this comm (I have the most impeccable timing -_-), that would be awesome.

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Never fear. We're not going away any time soon. Probably.

[mainecoon76.livejournal.com]

Definitely Yay! :)

I've been thinking - maybe next time each author or artist could include a short summary of the prompt?

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe, though personally I prefer if the story/artwork tells itself and the author/artist gets to give their own summary instead of quoting the prompt.

We do have some improvements lined up, though. :)

[mainecoon76.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't mean instead of a summary - maybe in the Author's Note (some already did that). And it's just an idea. I loved the whole exchange as it was. :-)

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

No, no, I understand what you mean. We'll definitely be taking your input into account, as well as anything anyone might like to suggest. The exchange is run by us, not for us. :)
