SG-1 Debrief Proposal For Dreamwidth

[magnavox_23]

eilidh17  and I are considering opening up a Dreamwidth community, equivalent to the sg1_debrief, but before we take our idea to the next stage, we’d love to hear your opinion.

Our reason for venturing down this path is to catch as much fandom activity as possible, further spreading the incredible talent of our members to the greater community. In order to make the Dreamwidth community work, we would need the help of the membership here to lock into the comm, so we can capture fandom activity, thus making the newsletter a viable option.

Our question to you is: Can we make this work? Is there enough interest from those who use Dreamwidth to make a SG1 Debrief community work here?

I think it's a great idea, particularly since the vast majority of my corner of SG-1 fandom gravitated here some time ago. And I'm sure there are still some folk struggling to find others, or newbies who want to find us. :-)

[magnavox_23]

Yup, exactly. I think it would be a great way for us to reconnect people lost in the LJ/DW switch.

I would love to see it!

[magnavox_23]

Yay!

You could even, if you wanted to, perhaps use sg1_missionreport for that purpose. I may be speaking out of turn, since I'm not the mod.

But I would love to see a formal roundup of all the stuff going on. paian did a round up until she got busy and had to take a break, but she found all kinds of stuff I would never have noticed otherwise.

I think it's a great idea.

Just anecdotally, I think there is quite a bit of interest in SG-1 over here; probably not equal to the amount of this fandom still on LJ, but I think there are definitely more m/m slash people over here than on LJ. There's hardly any m/m slash being listed in the sg1-debrief on LJ these days.

Anyway. Rambling. In short, I think it's a great idea and I would support it.

All very valid points. We were afraid of stepping on toes, but if there is a want for the debrief on DW we're happy to help out.

You sweet talker, you knows I loves me slash! <3

:P

I"m interested as a fannish consumer; I don't have much time to help out or to be a fannish producer these days.

[magnavox_23]

That's cool. We're managing the LJ debrief easily now so a DW one won't be much trouble at all. Just wanted to test the waters and see if anyone was interested in the comm here.

Would love to have it over here please!....most of the J/D fandom die hards are ensconsed at DW now I think....would be very very useful now that Paian is so busy and away from the fandom atm...

[magnavox_23]

Yeah, the LJ is sadly lacking in all the wondrous goodies over here. Would love to have one set up here for the DW SG folks!

[l_jade]

I would love to watch it..

[magnavox_23]

Sweet!

[antares_dw]

I'd love to have a round-up of all SG-1 related things on DW!

[magnavox_23]

There is much loveliness, yes!
