Because Ticky boxes are fun and distracting...

[machshefa]

And to continue the delightful theme of self-absorption today, I am posting a ticky box poll about... Azkatraz readings!  [Poll #1420581]

OH, thank goodness :) Thank you! *silly grin

Here - have a chocolate biscuit.

I didn't tick anything for the third question, as I just want to hear you read your own words.

Thanks, honey!

We really are trying to get an SSHG reading together, but I want to hear your Snuna as well. Do both!!!

[machshefa.livejournal.com]

This is helpful! Thank you :)

Right. So this reading thing for SS/HG - I'm worried about the 'finding a location for it' thing.

So maybe trying to do consecutive readings around bluey all with SS/HG would be sufficient?

I'd like to hear the snuna, tho.

I don't know what to do either - was thinking maybe of the informal plus a formal, but then I start panicking about where we'll actually have the informal.

aaaaaagh

Maybe what we should do is email the coordinators and make the suggestion. Shall we do a ticky box poll to see how many people were considering doing a reading? that way, maybe we can snag a block of time "officially" with venue and everything :)

Otherwise, maybe somebody's room? No clue how big them thar rooms are :)

I think reading from "Tree of Life" is almost a given, but if you do another reading, I vote for either your Snuna or "The Couch." Still love that one!

[machshefa.livejournal.com]

*grins... it's still one of my faves.

I can see reading bits of ToL to lay groundwork, and then reading Chapter 5... where all the kewl stuff happens...

What do you think about doing a poll to see who is thinking of doing a reading, and then emailing the coordinators and suggesting that we have a looooong SSHG block of time and a room?

[bluestocking79.livejournal.com]

Yes, I like that idea about excerpting ToL. I know it's too long too read flat out, but you could highlight some of the interactions (and transformations?) from earlier in the story before going to Ch. 5, where it all... (You know what? I can't thing of a way to end that sentence without it sounding like a dirty double entendre. But you know what happens in Chapter 5, and I'm very much a fan of it. *g*)

Anyway, yes, I like the idea of a poll to see who wants to read, and us attempting to coordinate the reading through the Common Room people. I still like the idea of a more informal reading, but it's looking more and more like logistical concerns make this more structured option the smarter bet. After all, it would be organized, we would have people in one place, and we would have a guaranteed space. And we know that the time is (so far) available.

Juni is writing to the coordinators... let's try to touch base later. I'm going to work out now and then head in to work. I'd love to be able to set up a poll today and see how many of us there are who want to read so we know how many and how long of a block we need. :)

[bluestocking79.livejournal.com]

Okay, great; that sounds good. I should be around later, although I have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off later. I'll manage! :D

I like the idea of the one shot cause then I get the whole piccy. Must be SS/HG though!

Loves you, Sonia :)

[machshefa.livejournal.com]

That's helpful! Thank you! I can't believe I wrote Snuna, I know... :-p

So maybe "The Couch"? Or "Between the Lines" ooo... maybe "Mercy of the Elements"... So many fics, so little time! LOL

I just clicked a few boxes bc it looked like fun. as i'm not really involved with AZ i can't give an informed opinion other than "read whatever you want." :D

[machshefa.livejournal.com]

Ok! :)

[opaljade.livejournal.com]

You are a very witty ticky box creator!

*snif* wish I was going to AZ!

[machshefa.livejournal.com]

Why thank you! I wish you were coming to Az, too. *snifff
