Subject: BtVS Club Notes

Hi everyone. Here are a few notes so that we can have some clarity on some things.



1. There will be no new members outside of the ones we have now. After we finish our first reading and reviewing I will open things up for more members. It's time we finalize everything for the people we have here already.

2. Groups can decide how they want to choose their fic. I have no rules for how each group decides on their fic. That's up to you guys.

3. I want each groups recommendations in by Monday, August 11, 2002. I feel two weeks from yesterday is enough time to get everything together.

4. The "Other" group. Some of you have asked does it mean ships other than the bigest ones (X/A, B/R, W/O ect). Other wonder if it means no ships at all and just good fics with no ships. If enough of you others wnat things to be one way I'll change the group. But get together and decide soon. I want some of these issues hammered out this week.

5. All links to fics must come with the rating of the fic.

6. As always all suggestions are welcome.


Okay, here's the updated list,

B/S:
Young at Heart

Slash:

juno
RJA

Here are the rules so far:


1. I submit that we will have the following catagories. B/S, B/X, B/A, B/G, W/X, Other (meaning a group of non-shippers who recommend their favorite fics), and slash. Out of the seven catergories each member must read six fics. You can choose the one you wish to skip

2. Once we have everyone signed in we will pair off into ships and using chats and emails, each ship will agree upon the recommendation of one fic for everyone in the club to read. Meaning each ship will agree on their fic for that month. I would
hope to get at least 4 people from each ship and four slash writers/readers.

3. This is a once a month thing so that we all have time to finish reading our fics.

4. All fics must be no longer than 200 pages and can be any rating, any genre. If NC-17 fics are not your cup of tea a secondary recommendation from that category can be red. All secondary recommendations can carry a rating no higher than R.

Each ship within the Fanfic club must agree on what fic they would like the other ships to read that deals with their ship. Talk it over in chats. email or however you'd like. But agree upon something good. Agree upon a story you would like people who are not fans of your ship to read. Choose an author you feel truly has the talent to win over even the most critical of reviewers.

5.. This is the most important rule. Each month every member of the club must read and review the agreed upon B/X, B/S, B/A, B/G, W/X and Slash fics. This clubs intent is to celebrate the writing, and give each of us a glimpse at how the other side seesthings. I'm willing to read any B/S story that the B/S'rs in the club feel should be read. And I'm willing to do this every month the club is around.

If you want in or have any suggestions please email me or post in this thread only.
Thanks.
Ozmandayus

If a group recs a NC-17 fic, we must also provide a < R fic?

Because not everyone is into NC17 and there are some underage members, we need to provide a non-NC17 fic to be polite to the non-smut mongers and cover our ass against pushing porn on minors. :)

Oz, thank you and Junior K for such a great looking board! I had a few questions about how we do our meetings to recommend stories.

Should we have a starter and then only answer there?

Who are the spokespeople for each of the ship?

Thanks and I am really looking forward to some good reading!
