dreamingofsunshine We've had a really great time talking in the comments section of my last fic and it made me kind of yearn for the forums, except that I'm never going back to the forums lmao. So I thought... why not have a discussion here? If it goes well, we're probably going to use dosbysilverqueen for a more robust discussion comm (a meme, in the "anon meme" sense of the word, except that being anon won't be required) but for now I think we should test it out here.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that most of you haven't used a meme before, so here's a little guide:
The rules are what the rules usually are (don't be a jerk, etc) but I will note that this is not a prompt meme! I would highly encourage folks to write some ficlets if the discussion inspires them or to post any ficlets they've got laying around that haven't been worthy of publishing seriously, but we're here to talk to each other, not ask for highly specific stories, so everyone should go into this looking to plot, compare headcanons, and build on each other's ideas. If people are interested and inspired we can run a related sprint-a-thon on the discord where we pick something that inspired us from here and give it a go.
So anyway: what recursive stuff have you been thinking about recently? Anon comments are on! Please sign your anon comments, if you don't mind.

dosbysilverqueen for a more robust discussion comm (a meme, in the "anon meme" sense of the word, except that being anon won't be required) but for now I think we should test it out here.I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that most of you haven't used a meme before, so here's a little guide:
- each top-level comment on this journal entry will be a different subject, in this case probably named after threads from the forums (recursive, crossover, soulmates, etc).
- each top-level comment will have a title ("crossover thread") that should not be deleted when you respond. (eg: All responses in the recursive thread should start with "re: crossover thread" so that people getting emails and using flatview can tell what thread they're about.)
- each second-level comment should be a single idea, for example each second-level response to the crossover thread will likely be a different fandom. this starts a subthread! hooray for nested comments.
- second-level comment titles should be changed to reflect the idea again for the easy of people browsing in various ways, but the changes should only be added to the already existing title!
- CORRECT SECOND LEVEL TITLE: "Re: crossover thread - harry potter"
- INCORRECT SECOND LEVEL TITLE: "harry potter"
- you can go on amending the title for more subthreads as much as seems necessary from there.
- maybe keep this discussion spoiler-free for now, crossover folks.
