60 for 60: Week 2, The Beryl Coronet: Update and question

[spacemutineer]

We're trucking along well in our 60 for 60 challenge, heading into week 3! Unsure of what 60 for 60 is? It's simple! Check it out and join us! We have had six entries for The Beryl Coronet this week, and links can be found below. Great work everyone!

And now, a question for you all: do you think it would be better for me to post on dispatch_box a final list of all the entries I got for the week aggregated together on Saturday for everyone to read with a mention of the new story that starts on Sunday? Or should I post whatever I have available on Sunday and invite everyone to join in then with the current week's story? Might get more responses that way potentially, although not everyone's entry will get posted for advertising to readers. Any thoughts? I think I was more successful the first week doing that, so I may try that again. (I'm certainly over-thinking this, sorry.)

Is everyone having fun so far? I'm really enjoying our little project, and I hope you are too! I just love all the different approaches. We have slash, angst, detective work, back stories, missing scenes... Just terrific stuff! Thanks for taking this adventure with us, everybody!

Hmmm...not sure. I've never gotten much response to dispatchbox. I think one aggregated per week is good.

And I did mine!

Is there another comm you think would be a better fit? I picked dispatch-box because it covers a broad variety of fic, but I'd be happy to post elsewhere if it might be better for us. Thanks for your help and input! And, as always, excited to see what you have for us for this week...

I don't know if cox_and_co will let you do it because it isn't slash, but flawedamythyst and I skirt it. :) And they've generally let me do multi-drabble posts. Likewise brother_mine if we do anything relating to Mycroft.

I don't know a lot of the Canon comms unfortunately.

I think Sunday with all of the past week and the invitation for the next week.

I was wondering if we should all send ours to you before Saturday and do one big post and then we'll copy them each to our own pages to get our followers. But I don't know what everyone will think of that.

Posting Sunday with all of the last week's and an intro to the next week is probably best, I agree. I'll go with that for this week.

One big post would be helpful, but as the entries tend to come in sporadically, I'm not sure. We'd probably have to rearrange the schedule to make that work. I wonder if we shouldn't start our own comm that anyone can post to. What do you think of that idea? Too much for such small ficlets?

First, I think that whatever is easiest for you is the right answer. You've taken charge of this and how, and it's wonderful - and I'd hate to see you frazzled or burned out. :-)

Second, I think a weekly round-up post on Saturday to whatever comms suit you/us/whoever is fine. That way people can say, "oh yeah, this!" on Saturday, and hopefully come and play on Sunday (or whatever day in the following week).

Third, you are made of awesome.

You're terribly kind as always, Violet. It's really not much work, I just want to make it as effective and efficient as possible -- more people joining us would be so great, and it seems like something people would be into if they heard about it.

I'll probably end up posting something late Saturday night/Sunday morning with a link to my post for the week. I suppose I could keep updating the comm post through the week... I'll consider it. I've thought of starting our own comm as well. That way I wouldn't have to worry I've missed someone's entry. Don't know if that would get us more readers or fewer, however. But food for thought, at least.

Glad to see you around! Hope things are going well. You're certainly busy -- daily WW challenges, drabbles, 60 for 60... You've got a lot going on, woman! :)
