A couple of White Collar-related things

[sholio]

This month's round at collarcorner (White Collar gen prompt community) is the return of the lightning round, i.e. short prompts and short fills (though of course fills can also be long; art and other non-fic fills are entirely welcome). This was popular last year, so it's back for a second year! We are also coming up on our 50th round, so there's a discussion post for how to celebrate. At this point it looks like a fic exchange is the main idea that's been suggested.

There is also an important poll I just put up: A question about the future of the community. I'm asking for input on whether the comm should stay on LJ, move to DW, or mirror between the two. If you don't have an LJ account, you can leave your opinion in the comments.

One thing I'd be interested in finding out is whether the community might pick up new members on DW, to offset the members it's sure to lose if it moves. Right now the community is active enough to keep going (actually, it's very impressively active for a never-terribly-large gen community in a small fandom for a show that went off the air two years ago; White Collar fandom seems to have a lot of staying power) but it can't afford to lose very many people and still be large enough to support itself, and it seems likely we'll lose people no matter what we do, so I'm trying to think of ways to offset that.

I don't know how active I would be, so my vote probably doesn't count for much, but I'd definitely subscribe here on DW.

[Also, ugh. I used to have a gorgeous Matt Bomer icon that I don't seem to have anymore. That sucks.]

Thanks for weighing in on it! :) The general consensus of the community is to stay on LJ but back up to DW, and I'm going to do some experimental mirroring of prompt posts between the two platforms. I'm going to wait to create the new comm 'til later in the month, when the import queue is no longer so backed up, but I'll be linking to it when I do!
