Hello There :)
And…I'm back!
I had my summer break and am ready to come back and mod the community.
To be honest, I missed it and I've come to the conclusion that it was the responsibility of modding another community (team mod for a landcomm) while doing this one that was the primary cause of my stress issues earlier.
So, things have been restructured and homebases seem to be a thing of the past now.
My current plan is similar to
timetobegin 's proposed restructure...Sunday: The Coming Week in TV - similar to the previous daily round ups, but for the week ahead and with fewer shows listed, because our previous listings were getting crazy. I'm also not going to put the episode #s either (just trying to streamline this a bit). I will make special note of premieres and finales though. There maybe be a few timely links added as well (particularly in the case of cancellations and renewals)
Monday: Current TV Discussion Post - we can talk about the current shows we've been watching, and make comment threads for shows/episodes. We'll be trying to keep things spoiler free and any spoilers can be done with making the text white.
Tuesday: Links (basically what I've been doing already)
Wednesday: Current TV Discussion Post (like Mondays but on Wednesdays)
Thursday: Links (like Tuesdays but on Thursdays)
Friday: Social Post of some sort or other
Saturday:
colls ' Previously On posts continued (I hope)I'll be doing the scheduled Sunday - Friday posts (unless someone else wants to do Friday Social Posts)
Non-Scheduled Posts: Anything TV related posted by whoever and whenever. That includes me, like when I posted about Murder in the First at the end of the season. If you want to post about something TV related please do! Remember this community is for all of us.
I don't know if people want to see returning and new show posts like I was doing before, with or without the polls added. Any thoughts on that? The Fall season is nearly upon us :)
Thoughts? Questions? Suggestions? Ideas for Social Posts?
Social Posts are probably my weak spot. I'm very introverted and being social, even online tends to take a bit of effort for me much of the time. Not all of the time, but a lot of it. I do have some ideas for some social posts, but maybe I should make a post that people can submit ideas to.
♥ Sunday's post will go up later today

Personally, I'm digging the revised schedule a lot.
Don't know about other members, but I really liked the polls (especially for new shows). Considering that the Fall Season is just around the corner (already!), maybe breaking down the new shows (which I'm more than sure are going to be a lot) into two or three posts? Or, you know, whatever works out for you guys.
One idea for a Social Post would be a Rec-a-show post. New or old, members could showcase a TV show--with the only caveat being that it has available (online/digital or DVD). After all, what's the point of promoting a show that no one else can watch? ;)
no subject
Yeah, I was figuring with how busy the Fall season is, I'll probably do at least a few shows per post...basically break them down into groups relating to when they are airing. I know some shows are starting in September and others and October with even a few in November.
I love the idea of a rec-a-show post!

I think for social posts questions about current and old shows or around TV in general (could be about your favorite TV snack or your favorite SF series :) might work. Not very original but I think it could work. There are so many things to talk about: actors and actresses, heroes turned villains, favorite TV credits (Six Feet Under or Desperate Housewives?), OSTs (what was the name of the band we heard all the time in Buffy?),...
I also like lucifuge's idea of rec a show & I think a post where people could submit ideas and bounce them off each other is great.
Also yay for introverts! *high fives*

Thank you for the welcome and the social post ideas :)

I like the new schedule as well!
I've always liked that the polls use checkboxes instead of radio buttons to allow more multiple responses (Interested, Not Interested, Plan to watch, Don't have time to watch, Never heard of it).
I agree with lucifuge that breaking down the new show posts (either by day of week they'll air or by network?) might make the posts more manageable.
no subject
Yeah, I'm going to see how they stagger the premieres (I know some are premiering in Sept, some in October and some not until Nov.) and I'll group them that way...basically the ones that air closest together, so we won't have dozens of posts on one day ;)
no subject
And of course, I am happy to continue Saturday's posts. They've been fun!
I like the rec-a-show idea someone above had. Or like when the summer season ends, we can have a wrap up sort of thing? What did people like, not like, etc?
no subject
I'm glad, I've really been loving your Saturday posts :)
I love that rec-a-show idea too, that's probably something that can be done periodically, since there are always more things to discover...maybe too many...or too little time anyways ;)
A summer season wrap-up sounds good too, thank you :)
