reading221bHappy April, all!
Your intrepid mods have been a bit swamped by meatspace concerns in the past few weeks, but don't worry, we're still here! We've got a couple of things on the docket that we want to put on your radar:
1) Tuesday 221bs. When we polled the comm at the beginning of the year, it was clear that we weren't the only ones who would be busier in April and May; most people reported that they anticipated having less time to spend with us. So in lieu of full-on fic discussions, we're going to have low-key weekly discussions of that brief, uniquely Sherlockian form known as the 221b. We'll put up a post with more information, and with sign-up slots, in the next couple of days. We're hoping our first 221b discussion will be this next Tuesday the 14th!
2) Summer remix stream. We've been plotting this out for a long time, but this summer it's finally going to happen: one of our discussion streams in round 4 will be a remix stream! We'll be discussing a fic that is itself an explicit transformation of another fic, putting the two side by side. We've timed this to coordinate with Round 5 of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sherlock_remix. They're running a lightning round right now (which means that, for the moment, new remixes are going up every day!) and they'll be starting sign-ups for the full round by the end of the month.
So head on over there! You can also check out their archives (here are the master posts for round 1, round 2, round 3, and round 4) and start thinking about stories you'd want to nominate for this summer.... and, if you're a writer as well as a reader, we encourage you to sign up to participate in Round 5! (and if you're a reader wondering about how to make the transition to writing.... there's really no better way!
3) Community Conversation. We've been having regular conversations, among the members of the comm, discussing what has worked so far, and what hasn't, and what we can do to work out the kinks (to to speak) that we've encountered while sustaining the successes we've had so far. Look for another of these conversations to start early next week.
