Do you write Harry Potter fic, or is there at least some older HP fic that you’d still like people to read and review? Would you like to have the members of a small community comment on the fic of your choice and discuss it with you? In return, would you be willing to read a (not too long) HP fic – also beyond your “sweet spot” – and comment on it?
In Snowflake Challenge, when discussing wishes, (in particular my wish number five, here), I found out that I was not the only one interested in some more fanwork-related interaction on DW. A few days ago a conversation here gave me suddenly an idea, which I developed a bit at once.
My preliminary suggestion is that we found a DW community called perhaps something like All Owls’ Fic Club – or All Owls’ Fanwork Club.
Because I’m hopelessly limited to the HP fandom, I can just hope that there are enough people around who still write (also) HP fic, or are at least interested in reading HP fic and still discussing their own older HP fic. Those who make other types of HP fanwork could join, too (unless they feel it’s not fair that reading a fic takes more effort than receiving their work in order to comment). On the other hand, the community wouldn’t need to attract many people.
For instance, if we are just five who want to become fully active members, each of us could post a fic (of no bigger word count than 3000 – or 1500, or 5000, according to what we agree – or another fanwork) once a month. Every week there would be one new work to write a review on and discuss in comments. (The reviews could be posted also on AO3 if that’s where the author prefers to have all feedback collected.) Non-members could be welcome to comment, but the author could also decide to lock the post for only the members to see. Perhaps someone would like to post also (parts of longer) WiP. Concrit could be allowed – naturally just together with some positive points – but authors could also mention what kind of feeback they wish to get.
Please tell me if you are – or if you know someone who is – interested in sharing fanwork in this way!
