 |
|
I think having new categories for franchises like Avatar and Twilight would be good as well as perhaps making a category for Marvel universe characters and place all the stories of Marvel characters there whether is Spiderman, Ironman, Xmen etc.
Just a suggestion...

I think the Twilight category was brought up a few months ago, and met with... er... less than total enthusiasm.

We're not against Twilight per se. I don't remember which way the discussion went, to be honest, as I couldn't really participate since I hadn't seen the movie (first one at the time) and have not read the books.
I have since then since both movies though I don't think I would ever read the books but the why of that is irrelevant as it's my own personal taste. 
We would be happy to add new categories and weed out the ones that have garnered no interest or fics since the last shakedown.
It's summer here for those who forget, or don't know we're based in Australia, so we're spending more time outside than inside presently, and on top of that, we have guests staying with us for the next six weeks.
All that to say that I don't know when we'll get to it but don't stop writing for that. We will put those categories up when RL slows down a bit.
Cheers,
do.

Yeah, I don't remember there being anyone specifically against Twilight, but at the time I don't think anyone who responded was planning to write for it, so it just didn't take off. Didn't mean to try to shoot anything down; was just remembering.

What about a Leverage category?
Or maybe we could just have a TV category that all of the misc. TV shows fall into.

If we want to have a vampire category, perhaps "TrueBlood" will do?

What about a Vampire category that all of the shows/movies are included? There are so many. Although you cannot use anything by Anne Rice since she doesn't allow fanfiction

Binka's All-Eric-All-the-Time True Blood category, you mean?
I know somebody who writes Twilight smut. But it's such a weird fandom: the original text is YA, so people who write the characters all grown up and gettin frisky feel weird knowing that underage folks might be reading the fic. A lot of the R-rated Twilight fic is very black-market.
I don't know much about the G-rated stuff. |

I have to think that there may also be a certain contingent who enjoy un-Nerfing Stephenie Meyer's sparkly vampire world as well.

I never really thought on Twilight being a little weird in regards to smut. I guess when I saw the characters in the movies, they looked grown-up enough to have a sex life. Would it be a problem if we were to have a Twilight category here?
In regards to suggestions about misc categories, the way the archive is set up, we can't do it - as we've mentioned before. 
Days are getting shorter and shorter over here, the air has changed, the scent as well, the green of the trees looks tired, the southerlies are getting colder so I guess we'll be hunkering down for winter pretty soon...
...which means I'll have some time to work on the site. Start thinking about those categories and please take time to look at the ones already there, especially the ones that are still empty. They could very well get culled on my next pass. If you don't want to see that happening, put some fics in them! 
I have never watched Leverage. What's it about?
do.

Leverage = best show EVAH
Okay - its tied with Lost. But you can actually miss an episode of Leverage and not have to give up on the whole series. lol
Here's a good trailer for it.

And the original trailer.

It's on Netflix instant watch if anyone wants to watch it instantly! Any Angel fans? It's got Christian Kane AKA Lindsey McDonald in it too.
Oh btw - I'm totally hoping for a Leverage section obviously

| Have been watching quite a bit of Fringe lately (first season, on NetFlix). Any interest in that as a category? (Had a bunny about Walter's fanged viper woman, Harriet in Cleveland, but it'd probably be silly.) |
