Spare Ideas for Threads I Wish We Had
Forums:
I've seen a couple threads on at least one other forum that it might be handy to have analogues of here:
- For when you don't want to open a new thread for something along these lines or feeling like doing that wouldn't be worth it, perhaps because such a thread would be so bespoke and short-lived:
- 'General Recommendations Thread' (For seeking and sharing story recommendations.) (N. b.: You could also have per-genre/-theme/-category versions of this one, too.)
- 'Fic Search Thread' (To help people find stories that they know already exist, perhaps having read them before, and can't find again, but not for helping them find stories of a certain kind they aren't sure exist in the first place.)
There may be others I'm forgetting along (roughly) similar lines.
(This doesn't mean I'd start any of these threads myself; I was just wondering if anybody else thought any or all of theme might, hypothetically, prove useful to have. Whoever took charge of them would have to commit to maintaining/moderating them, and they'd be much more long-lived threads used on a rolling/'round-robin' basis.)
