character-is-plot, Avon-character
I have stayed out of the warnings debate and have only been following it at a remove (witnessing incredibly bad behaviour firsthand is bad for my blood pressure). I've been around for earlier rounds of the warning debate, but this is the first time the question of triggers versus preferences has come up, and it has been enlightening. PTSD is serious, folks!

So, two things:
1) I don't have warnings on my stories, because, as far as I know, I haven't written any stuff that needs warnings. Should I go through all the stories on my site and add "Warnings: nothing" to all my stories? Am I mistaken in thinking that I haven't written anything triggery?
What do you think?

2) [info]winterweathered has created a community called [info]ficsafezone, the purpose of which is to help people who have specific triggers vet stories without warnings (see community profile and sample post). I like this idea, I hope it works, because even if fans do start warning their stories better, there are still going to be stories out there which don't have warnings, and this could help bridge the gap.

Thanks to musesfool for the link to this amusing post about (lack of) feedback.
14th-Apr-2009 08:22 am - Smith Awards Open
tardis-penguins
The Smith Awards voting is now open! The Smith Awards is a nifty idea; voting is done by anonymous reviews, which means one gets actual reasons to go with the votes, and one ends up with a whole bunch of reviews at the end. Which is cool.

So go and join in!
tardis, tardis-any-place
I've now read a few reaction posts, and thinking a bit about what I thought of it, rather than moment-by-moment reactions.
spoilerific )
There are probably more thoughts to be had, but it is way past time for me to go to bed.

Doc10-chip, Doc10
I decided to write my reactions as I saw it, but that means that it's incoherent about a third of the time. So I've also decided to add notes (in italics)
hugely spoilerific and disorderly ramblings )

Avon-INTJ
I don't remember seeing "Colony in Space" before, though I had fun speculating about what the plot would turn out to be. Yes, it was full of cliches, but it was fun to laugh at them.

Doc3-chocolate, Doc3
My viewing of this adventure was broken up into a few different sessions, so my impressions are probably disjointed.

Avon-INTJ
No writing done for the finish-a-thon today, but I feel good, because I sat down and watched the whole of "Terror of the Autons", which was the first Jo story, and I think it was also the first Master story.
various musings, mostly about the Master )
