Community Input Poll
What would you like to see in this community? Here are just a few ideas I have to start with. I'd love to hear more ideas from you.




Is all of the above an option? I'd love to see everything on that list here!
I think that for Ficathons and other regular challenges/big bangs you might want to wait until you get a steadily contributing audience in the comm. People are still finding their feet on Imzy. Right now you might want to focus on less investment-heavy types of interaction, like rewatch, latest chapter discussions, themed rec posts, that kind of deal.
...and also canon costume porn of the week posts. <.< We're all here for Ciel's fantastic outfits, right?
Yeah, I didn't realize until I'd posted that you could only pick one option. I was hoping people could check all that applied.
I think that's good advice about ficathons and the challenges. Let's hold off on those for now.
Dude, would you be up for doing a canon costume porn of the week post? Because that would be AMAZING.
Unfortunately I'm running the /tragic_magic_ninjas community and it's taking up a lot of my time at the moment--I don't think I can commit to that and not disappoint you. But I can do the first one, if you want, and occasional other ones when I have time!
But if you wanted to, you could use the schedule feature, find 10-20 great costume pictures off of image search or just from screen capping/snip tool, and schedule them to post every Friday for the the next 3 or 4 months. It's really easy to use (it's totally how I queue up everything on my comm--I'm not nearly together enough to post a fic rec at the same time everyday, so I queue up four or five of them every couple of days.
If you wouldn't mind doing the first one, I could keep it up, and maybe see if other people want to jump in. Mostly I just want to see other people posting here, but I definitely get wanting to focus on your own comm during the early stages. It's important to keep content coming out.
Absolutely! Hey, have you seen this?
It might interest you ;)
For what it's worth, it appears that imzy's standard poll design only allows for us to make a single choice. (I assumed that it would let me go back and vote for others after submitting the first choice, but I was cruelly deluded.)
I'd like to see pretty much all of the above -- even a big bang if the community interest is there, even though big bangs scare me and I'd be afraid to promise to be anything but the audience for it -- and I would have voted for all if I'd been able to.
Yeah, I realized the poll limitation AFTER I posted. I was hoping people could check all that applied. Good to know for future polls.
Big bangs scare me too, but I selfishly want more longfic for this fandom.
My thoughts exactly. It's not that people aren't writing in the fandom, exactly -- I just had a look at ao3, after being away for ages, and I couldn't believe how much was being posted -- but the flood of happy enthusiastic writers is failing to cater to my interests, in that annoying way that happens when people write what they like instead of what you want them to write. Something must be done!
. . . only, you know, not done by me personally. Because if I could do longfic, I would have at least finished some of it by now.
Haha! Exactly! Darn those people! Why can't everybody want to write long, canon-compliant, slow-burn fic that I like, huh? Is that too much to ask?
