Coffee Shop Meet and Greet with pt_lightning

[somnolentblue]

Hi! Welcome to the first informal coffee shop-style meet and greet with poetree and pt_lightning, which rounds out our week together.

We've enjoyed your company, and we'd like to open an informal space in the comments for people to talk with each other. Feel free to ask questions, chat with each other, perhaps see if anyone's interested in joining you on a group project.

We suggest that you open a new comment thread by introducing yourself and writing a sentence or two, whether it's "always know where your towel is," "would anyone be interested in doing a pt_lightning project featuring a villanelle and a Vogon," your favorite cookie recipe, or "I'm thinking of signing-up and seeking a cheerleader, help!"

We hope that you can pull of a chair and enjoy a lovely chat!

I seem to have fallen headfirst into Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom. Anyone up for podficcing a Yu-Gi-Oh! fanpoem? Though I need to finish canon review; I'm about to watch episode 72 of 224...

Hi!

I'm Blue, one of your friendly neighborhood pt_lightning mods. :)

I'll be around the rest of the day, and I'm completely happy to talk (at possibly more length than you might want) about sundry and diverse topics, including (but not limited to) pt_lightning, my experiences co-creating collaborative fanworks, libraries, and baking.

Hi!

I'm Fleur, the other friendly neighboorhood pt_lightning mod. :D

I'll also be around and if you want to talk about topics like collaboration (including, but not limited to, pt_lightning - the podficcer's side! *g*), baking, books and booming sound effects, I'm absolutely up for it.

'ello, all!

I'm J.J., one of the poetree admins. I'd be delighted to talk today / this weekend / in general with people about poetry, poetry for performance, ways of incorporating poetry in writer-podficcer collaborations, pretty much anything you can think of related to poetry... ;o)

More generally, I am offering to act as a cheerleader for the first three people / groups that ask who sign up for this round of pt_lightning. (n.b. 'cheerleader' is not quite the same thing as 'beta'; depending on your style & needs, you and/or your group may find both types of support helpful, or only one, or neither.)

Hi folks!

I'm Manda, the other poetree co-admin. I've been a bit scarce the past few months since I have been preparing to take the licensing exam for Virginia lawyers. I'm all done with the exam, and am looking forward to getting back into poetree stuff. I haven't had a chance to participate in pod together stuff before, but am happy to chat about poetry and cheerlead for those who are participating.

I'm a bit of a fandom butterfly and my current obsession is Avengers and Marvel Cinematic universe. The only fandom related poem I've written to date is Defying Gravity, which was a poem written from Harry's point-of-view.

I might want to sign up, and I do love reading poetry! I did the last two rounds of pt_lightning, and it's good for getting me to spend time with podficcing--I have less time for it these days, but I don't want to get out of the habit. I don't have a project in mind, but do feel free to poke me if you'd be interested in collaborating with me. My previous podfics are here, and you can also check out the poetry tag on my journal for some more of my poetry readings.
