For who_daily: Looking for communities to partner with a friending meme

[eve11]

Hey there, I'm setting up a Doctor Who Friending meme that will hopefully go live this weekend. A friending meme is a post where people from different circles on lj can post a comment introducing themselves and find more friends with common interests. I'd like to partner with some Doctor Who communities, maybe put a list of partnering comms on the front page of the main lj post. Or it would be nice for communities to enter a comment on the meme too so that the maintainers can post what they are about.

Anyhow, If anyone's interested in partnering their comm with the friending meme, leave me a comment below :)

If you would like, when the meme goes live, you can post the banner in your comm, but that is not required if it would seem too spammy. Below is a prototype for the banner (resized; the "real" one will be about twice that size):

Thanks!


[As an example, if this were the main meme post I would have a line here at the bottom of the post that says: Check out our partner communities! (and a list)]

no problems- i can definitely give you best_enemies, and it's not really my comm, but i'm sure henriettastreet would not object. (and you can have my podfic and gallifrey fests... but they are just fests).

i wonder whether you should link to your sample meme - but at the same time, people might then just start to fill in it. but - some sort of statement of what the meme is about would be good. i think. although not entirely necessary.

Ah, I figured "friending meme" was enough info for what it was about? but I can be more specific :)

Oh yes, I was going to ask about podtor_who! Any plans to set up a new round? What's the Gallifrey fest?

i had completely forgotten that i hosted it about this time last year - until... suddenly it was this time, and i'd forgotten. so - i think i will host it again, but now i think it's a bit late in december, so... maybe some time around the beginning of next year. i wanted to give people at least a month to prepare and stuff. so - it should run again at some point, i see no reason why it wouldn't - but... i forgot.

as for gallifrey - it's morepolitics and it's why, i pride myself, we have so much fic for that audio series. it will almost certainly run again in february, though this time it will probably also be a gallifrey and benny fest... as i want some more bernice summerfield fic as well.

Oh, I might be able to write Benny fic. I'd have to get cracking on listening to Gallifrey if I wanted to write Gallifrey fic though. I really do like the stories I've read.

the fest would let you specify that you didn't want to write gallifrey fic as you hadn't heard it, fear not. and - last year we had podfic too so you could podfic a gallifrey fic or something.

but also - yes, listen to gallifrey and then write all the fic! that would make me happy. (and hopefully also you and other people)(but definitely me)
