Prompt: Sungjong is dating ____ (not that he hasn't dated before, but it's serious this time) and Hoya, Sungyeol, and Myungsoo react with varying degrees of platonic/romantic/fraternal jealousy (note that any of them could be dating someone [Woohyun] and this would still work)

Are we going to do our domestic fic-a-thon? Do you think we should do a comment fic-a-thon or a sign-up kind of fic-a-thon? LET'S PLAN THIS IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

[kwritten.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO. It's up to you - I think a comment fic-a-thon might work. but if you want a real thing with sign ups and stuff - then it may have to wait until I get home? because after today I'm uselessly busy with RL for the next 2-3 weeks

Oh, I'm in no hurry at all, so whatever's good with you. I'm just wondering which one would get more participation. Comment fic-a-thons have such low participation rates these days. I remember when you'd get THOUSANDS of comments on those.

On the other hand, I don't know if a sign-up would generate that much more interest. I really don't have a preference. I just want it to happen eventually!

probably a comment-a-thon would have more participation. I always hesitate to host them myself :)

and yes - they are smaller these days. fandom is lacking in participation.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I can host it! Don't even worry about that.

Yeah, it's really frustrating how there are so many fans still around, but other than making loads of pretty gifs and edits, they don't really seem to do much? Not like we used to? Is this me being all, "kids these day!"? I don't know, but it does certainly feel like participation in substantive things (beyond just reblogging a post on tumblr) has gone way, way down. I really do blame tumblr a lot.

:) Well then whenever you want to do it! But if it's before May 17th my involvement may be spotty :)

I have like this mixed love/hate with tumblr. Because on the one hand - the creativity and evolution of communication that is happening in the graphics/gifsets that circulate tumblr are so amazing and building a generation of people who are going to think about critical analysis and argument/communication in a brand new way.

on the other hand - it seems like the lurker is becoming more prevalent? more reblogging than new things and more often the fic I see circulating in one fandom is all one person instead of a community of people. there's more reliance on the idea that the 'creative people' will do the hard work and all I have to do is press reblog.

so it's two parts gorgeous and amazing and three parts frustrating because the level of involvement in fandom is based on such a different scale. there's less sharing despite the fact that all anyone is doing is 'sharing' by reblogging.

if that ramble makes any sense at all.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. And I could not agree more.

Let's wait till later in May, then!

haha okay yay!
