fic_rushSo, this is not actually a poll to choose dates for an August round, not yet.
Over the last several months, I think a lot of us have been distracted, or having Stuff happen, or being tired or burned out. LJ is less active than it was some years ago, which of course also factors in; but, for all the many reasons, the last several rounds have tended to be on the quiet side.
However, I don't want to give up and stop doing rounds, even though I've been slacking a lot myself.
So: let's have some more polls! (Almost as good as penguins.) What do you think of holding rounds on alternate months? A terrible idea? A good idea? Worth trying for a bit?
If we go to alternate months, we would skip August and do a round in September, then skip October and do a round in November (for NaNo, as well as for Non-NaNo). We can then decide if we like that schedule, or if we're feeling more inklish and writerly and need our penguin fixes.
This poll is not a ticky box poll, because you're actually going to have to choose just one option. However, I have made sure there are ticky boxes anyway, because ticky boxes are Important.

Date: 2015-08-13 05:19 am (UTC)I can understand that it is difficult to keep a com like this running for all the years and that the mods might feel 'burned out' espcially when the interest of the writers seems to drift away. But maybe it's just because of summer = vacation, weekend-trips ect. ? LJ is always more quiet during this months but in winter people often come back.
I did vote for 'every month rounds' but maybe it would be a good solution to go to bi-monthly rounds at least over summer?
