As you've probably noticed, I haven't done a weekly round-up post in a few weeks. Partly that's the snow storm throwing me out of my routine and partly it's that in January we were moving my fiance out of his apartment, which ate up weekends and energy. This weekend will be more of the same as we deal with the 'moving in' part at my house.

I'm trying to figure out a way to automate some of the link formatting to make it easier too. I'm looking at Excel macros at the moment, but if anyone has other suggestions I'll take them. I have minor programming ability.

Are the weekly round-ups of (mostly) tumblr activity something people are still interested in seeing? Are the categories what you want to see? It's been a while since I last polled the community, so let me know in comments if they are still worth me doing. I like the idea behind them a lot more than taking the time to do them. On hiatus it took about an hour and a half. I haven't done one since the new season started, but just given the volume of stuff I've seen, it's probably going to be more time intensive. I'm willing to keep on if there's an audience for it, but if it's not something y'all are interested in I'm going to stop.

My other idea was breaking it across a couple days (and possibly people), and have say, Meta come out on Sunday, and Fanart come out on Monday, Fic Recs on Tuesday, and Vids and Fanmixes on Wednesday, or something along those lines. That's more activity on the comm here, however, and I don't want to spam people, so let me know if you'd be in favor or against that idea.

Also let me know what you do want to see out of the community. It's mostly me posting, so I don't have a gauge for what's working or not. Please give me feedback!

The Season 3 trailer comes out on Monday Dec 14!
Twitter announcement captured here.


The one problem is that I'm going to be on a work trip starting tomorrow and I won't have my non-work computer with me so I won't be able to post it to the community (for reasons I keep all fan stuff off my work computer). Would someone grab it and post it here? I'm sure it'll be all over #the 100 tag on tumblr.

Because of the aforementioned work trip, and the utter work-crazy my life has been the last two weeks, I won't get the next weekly update I was planning to do tonight out. So the next update will be on Dec 20. Sorry about that.

So, I'm out of town again this week. Because I'm a procrastinator who procrastinates I need to pack so I won't get the weekly round up out today, and since I'm not back till next Monday, the next round-up will happen on Nov 22. Also, the episode rewatch post for this week will be post-poned till I get back (but I don't think anyone will mind that.)

As always, if anyone has The 100 stuff they want to post, please do so. :)

See you on the flipside.

I was out of town this past weekend so this week's weekly update will be combined with next week's, Oct 24.

Thanks for your patience.

(And if anyone wants to help with the round up just let me know.)

If you are avoiding season 3 spoilers, avoid tumblr for the next week or so. A reporter leaked a massive spoiler Behind the Scenes picture he wasn't supposed to, and then Jason Rothenberg released another spoilery photo of same because it was too late.

If you're on tumblr it's all over the tags right now. You may run into it anyway, but if you want to avoid the spoiler overload, I'd avoid tumblr till it dies down. (Though it's tumblr, so good luck figuring out when its safe again. Ugh. I sometimes wish for the days when hiatus was hiatus and you didn't go into the season with all these things in your head...)

While I'm in PSA mode, I'll be out of town this weekend, so there will be no weekly round-up on Sunday, unless someone else wants to do it. The September meta post will happen next week, unless someone wants to volunteer to put something up.

Finally, if you want to give me feedback on the community, you can fill out the poll here.

The comm has reached ten weeks old, and now that things have settled into a pattern, I wanted to check in and see what's working and what's not. I feel a bit like I'm shouting into a void - which I honestly don't mind, this is not a backwards way of asking people to comment on every post - but I do want to make sure that the content I'm providing is what people want to see. Everyone is of course encouraged to post their own items at any time.

So, a poll!

My question of the week is: why did you start watching The 100?

For me it was persistent Netflix advertising combined with a few positive reviews on my flist/dwircle that pushed me over the edge.

I'm interested in putting together a list of pimp posts as an easy place to point people who may be looking for non-spoilery reasons to watch the show from fandom. They don't have to be flashy or anything, but if you wrote one or read one that made you want to watch the show, link me in comments.

So far I have the one I wrote:

There's been a request to have a post for writers to talk about works in progress in comments, get encouragement, have a support network. I have no problem putting one up, but I wanted to ask about privacy issues. This is a public community, but we do have the option of making posts members only. I want this to be a safe space, and talking about writing can be something that not everyone wants open to the whole internet. So, a poll!

Welcome new folks! A few days ago I put up a community poll to see what people were interested in getting out of the community. It's not too late to fill out the poll!

Most of the suggestions I threw out there were met with some form of approval so here is a proposed list of items, many of which consist of me putting up a post for us to discuss stuff :) Fair warning, that because I work full time, etc., I will either post things in the AM before work, or in the late (sometimes very late) PM after dinner US East Coast time. If anyone wants to take charge of one of these items, let me know and it's yours.

Weekly
Monday
Tuesday

Wednesday

Episode Discussion post following the schedule at [tumblr.com profile] the100rewatch which starts an episode a week THIS WEEK with the Pilot on June 24. Feel free to jump in even if you don't rewatch with your thoughts on the episode or links to old episode posts you've made in the past.

Thursday

Friday
REC ALL THE THINGS! I'll probably be doing a vid rec every week, and I'll put a little note at the top encouraging reccing of anything you've found worth sharing the love. Fic, vids, fanart, fanmixes, etc., it's all good.

Saturday

Sunday
Weekly Fandom News Round Up post - of activity around other corners of fandom, including tumblr, twitter, etc. You can see the first edition here.
I'm still not sure what to do about reporting fic - any suggestions?

Monthly (on the first of the month)

More general discussion post, probably more along the lines of character meta, worldbuilding, show themes, etc. PLEASE SUGGEST TOPICS TO ME IN COMMENTS. Also if you have a burning topic of conversation, there's no need to wait for the monthly post, so feel free to go ahead and post it to the comm.

Prompt Post
For that fic you want to read but not write. I also may put in a generic one-word prompt to jumpstart things.




Comments? Concerns? Hell no's?

[personal profile] marina  suggested a friending meme, which I like the idea of, so look for that to show up late tonight or tomorrow.
