Who's up for a Leverage fic exchange?

[fleurlb]

I've been talking to dea_liberty  , who ran the leveragexchange   last year, about possibly doing it again this year. So, if you're interested, please take the poll and we'll see what happens. :) 


 EDIT: I've tried to add a supplemental poll to gauge femslash interest, but I am apparently made of LJ poll fail. So, if you're interested in femslash, you can use the text box to say so. :)


EDIT 2: It's now official that the new season starts 20 June. :) [Poll #1544087][Poll #1544087]

Oh, Nate/Maggie and Nate/Sophie/Maggie too. I knew I was forgetting something there. I can write Parker/Eliot but it's not my favorite.

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know... I threw that question in there mostly out of curiosity. If this goes ahead, we're certainly not going to hold anyone to their list of characters right now. :)

[lovesrogue36.livejournal.com]

I hope it does - ficathons are always a lot of fun and they're great during hiatus!

Any idea when the series premiere date is in July?

[elzed.livejournal.com]

I mean season...

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

I don't know for certain, but I'd guess it would be fairly close to last year's, which was 15 July.

[elzed.livejournal.com]

thanks, poppet!

Ah, those eyes!

;)

I've been doing some looking around and still can't find an official start date for S3, but a lot of the comments in John Rogers' blog reference 1 June as the date, which is significantly earlier than I thought.

[elzed.livejournal.com]

that would be AWESOME

(dvd season 1 flying my way as I speak...)

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

I love the commentaries on the DVDs. Really looking forward to getting my hands on the S2 DVDs.

So, looks like 20 June is the premiere date:

Also excited about the 'Rizzoli and Isles' show, since it sounds like the characters from the Tess Gerritsen novels.

I'm very new to Leverage with only 1 fic posted at the moment, and atm only a muse for Parker/Alec/Eliot - and so far that's very gen. Though I listed the 1 fic as 3some it was only by the slimmest of margins and with rose-colored glasses (mine firmly in place) otherwise it really read as gen/teamfic outside of 1-2 lines *shrugs* I'm still getting my feet wet, so I'd love the opportunity to be challenged, but couldn't promise anything higher than a pg-13 rating.

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

Welcome and thanks for answering the questions. :) I'm sure if this goes ahead and you chose to participate that whatever you right will be much appreciated, regardless of rating. :)

[zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com]

I never got a story from the last exchange. I'd only be willing to participate if y'all were going to firm up your pinch hitting practices.

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I heard that was an issue last year and is something that we'd try to prevent happening again. I understand how frustrating that can be, to not receive a story when you've worked so hard to provide one.

Leverage Fic

[scorpionmonkey.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. I forgot I'd like to take a stab at writing Sterling too. The bastard. : )
And Maggie here and there because she is a great monkey wrench to throw in
now and again.

Though I've never written any fic for Leverage, and only have a sadly aborted Owen/Cristina
Grey's Anatomy fic, I will finish this Leverage thing I'm working on (without a doubt) because the characters really speak to me AND are WAAAAAAY more fun to play with.

So I'd love to attempt to bring someone else's plot bunny to life. Should be a fun challenge.

Re: Leverage Fic

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it. I'll keep an eye out for your fic whenever it gets finished. :)

[havocthecat]

I think you might want to split f/f slash and m/m slash into two separate categories. By and large, you have entirely different audiences and fic conventions for each type of fic. (Though there is some crossover.)

I know you can't edit polls, but maybe a second poll could be added to the entry to gauge femslash interest? I don't want to answer "slash" because I am utterly uninterested in m/m slash (which is what the majority of people who respond to that will be interested in), but I am very interested in f/f slash.

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

*doh* I didn't even think of that distinction.

I'm reluctant to post a second poll, just because I imagine there might be poor uptake, since I'm guessing most people who were going to take the poll already have and I felt kind of like a spammer when I advertised it this weekend already. :)

A completely unscientific guess, supported by viewing the poll results and counting up the number of answers that included f/f pairings, would be not so much femslash interest. (Two responders, basically.)

Sorry about that :/

[havocthecat]

Did you try posting a link to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] to link in their newsletter? Or make a post to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]? I'm sure people would be glad to add a comment below expressing interest or lack thereof. I mod [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and would be happy to see a post about it. :)

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the advice. I've sent the link and made a post on thefemslashjob. The adding a supplemental poll question didn't go so well...I'm apparently made of LJ fail. No matter what I did, the secondary poll only showed up as flat text.

Anyway, lessons learned for the future. :)

*grins* Was thinking of the Glee fic that I just signed up when I took this. Totally forgive me for Question 4 and substitute Any! in its place!

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. Thanks for warning me. I'd have probably spent three days trying to figure out who Puck was. :)

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

You do know the new season starts in June right? At least I'm pretty sure it's June...yeah end of June...but June.

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do now. :) That hadn't been announced when the poll went up.

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Ah okay...sorry...my time sense for entries is a little fucked up. I saw the new post for when the season starts and I'm backtracking through the old entries trying to catch up on what I ignored.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I'd be up for the femslash, too.

[fleurlb.livejournal.com]

Great... Signups are now open: http://community.livejournal.com/leveragexchange/15301.html
