The Read-n-Love-athon
This weekend, we'll be holding our second event:
The Read-n-Love-athon
In a nutshell: track down your favourite fics on IJ and GJ, and maybe discover some new gems as well, and then show the authors some love -- comment, comment and comment some more.
The objective: Read as many fics as you can, and leave the authors a comment. Show people that their stories are still being read and appreciated and that the rampant asshattery at The-Site-That-Will-Not-Be-Named hasn't taken the fun out of fandom.
How It Works: - Sign up to participate below with your GJ username and your IJ username.
- At lunchtime (1pm EST) on Friday we'll be checking your user profiles for the numbers of comments you've posted. Then we'll check again on Monday (1pm, EST) and compare.
- Prizes will be awarded to the most enthusiastic commenters, but given the unexpected glitches we had with the Fest earlier, we still need to determine what those prizes will be. (Um, rest assured, though, that it won't be anything nasty like a gift certificate for Umbridge's Fashion Emporium or the like. *cough*)
- Aside from leaving comments, participants are also encouraged to share their favorite stories on IJ and GJ! We'll be posting a Recs Post tomorrow where you'll be able to leave your recs in the comments or if you'd rather create a recs post on your own IJ or GJ, you can leave a link to that post in the comments. Afterwards, we'll compile a masterlist of recced fics.
The Rules: - The fest is on Greatestjournal and InsaneJournal only, so only comments left on those sites will count towards your end total.
- This goes without saying, I'm sure, but for the purpose of the Read-n-Love-athon, please leave positive comments only. The idea is to make people feel welcome, not to chase them away.
- Sign-ups are open now, and will close at Friday noon.
