Friday Night Picspam and a question
'Sup, all?
I've just been appointed![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
punditfic's new evil overlord fearless leader, by virtue of the fact that nobody volunteered.
Here's the agenda I've come up with so far:
1) A brush-up of the tagging system
2) Expanding this community's purpose and identity beyond "being a cheap knockoff of FNFF, with fewer fics and no conversation"
3) More Jon Stewart in a tux
In the interest of fulfilling point #2, I would love to hear what the rest of y'all want to see happening here. There isn't much fakenews/punditry fandom on Dreamwidth yet, so there's no need to break it into niche comms - we can cover pretty much any kind of fannish activity, depending on what you guys are interested in.
The one bright idea I've come up with so far: picspams. Which is why most of the rest of this entry will be dedicated to a picspam of Jon Stewart. (Incidentally, this also addresses point #3.)
Remember the '90s, when we thought that was as stressful as politics could get? Oh, '90s.
The man looks good in a tux.
But he can rock the grey shirt, too.
Or a wetsuit. Or a snowboard. (Stephen wasn't the first one to get into winter sports...)
Pretty, pretty man.
From this point, feel free to:
a) post picspams of your own
b) brainstorm in the comments about what you want to see inpunditfic in the future
c) wallpaper your house with that last image. (...what?)

Godspeed, you dark emperor!
I've got so much Jon pictures on my hardrive and no restraint at all, so I'll go thematic in an attempt to not completely bury the Internet under an avalanche of Jon-ness.
So, tonight on
Brought to you by
Maxwell House - Don't drink it after six or you won't be able to go to bed.
On to the pics:
EDIT: Apologies for no tux-ness.

Or what about theme days? I'm not 100% what the themes could be, though. Hrm. IDK. /randomness
no subject
I like the challenge idea. I've never run anything like this before, so probably the biggest hurdle would be figuring out a model that works. 1,000 words is a lot to ask people to crank out on demand, especially on a regular basis, but something smaller might work...
Any thoughts on what the reward could be? (I'm prone to offering people custom art, but of course that only works when I'm talking to an audience composed entirely of People Who Like My Art...)
I like theme days of some sort. I'm thinking the picspams will lean in that direction, too - where "theme" means "character(s) of current focus." Start people off with a bunch of eye candy, and various other types of appreciation can follow...
no subject
Other thoughts: What about community-wide chats? Maybe live chats for the shows, or for special events, or just for fun?
Theme days: whatever the themes are, they should be interactive. But...I'm kind of lost on specific ideas. Maybe one day could be a meme day, like a survey or drabble offerings or whatnot?
no subject
I feel like there are enough live threads on LJ that there wouldn't be much value in duplicating them here. But we'll see. Maybe as activity picks up.
I can definitely do memes and surveys. They sound like they'd make good OT topics, too.
no subject
Oh, I meant actual chats, like on AIM or something. Just to shake things up.
Definitely! They're interactive, and you can learn a lot about people.
no subject
Eheh, you know how bad I am about signing on to AIM. That's one thing I would never be able to pull off ^_^;
no subject
I actually suck at AIM too. Y!M is my bread and butter. But I think AIM is more popular? Maybe? Which is why I said it. I dunno, 'twas just a thought that might be fun if we can organize it.
...hey, once I have Official Mod Powers, do you mind if I fix the double-commas? With the tags? They make me sad. =P
no subject
I hereby designate it Your Project. Which I will attempt to join in if I can =P
Yes, please, fix the double-commas! I've been meaning to sit down and figure out how for a while now ^_^; (We should probably have a full-on New Layout contest at some point, too.)
no subject
A New Layout contest sounds fun. Good idea.

Since the info says it's OK to post fic about politicians—would it be OK if I posted a fic about the late Supreme Court justice Harry Blackmun? (If there is a Supreme Court fic fandom, I have yet to find it!)
