Okay, I'll admit it... I was hugely disappointed to discover the existence of the smut4smut exchange only to find out that it requires multiple fandoms--and I get the impression I'm not the only one.

So I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in posting their would-be sign-up to Dreamwidth, so we can all treat each other in a laid-back, deadline-free smut buffet?

Not sure whether that would take the form of posts on our own journals or maybe an NSFW thread on the BigglesEvents community so it's all in one place, but... anyone up for that, or have a better idea of how we could arrange it?

(This is my first attempt at making a poll so apologies for any glaring errors!)

Poll #30653 Smut 4 Biggles?
This poll is anonymous.
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: Just the Poll Creator, participants: 9

Would you be up for an informal smutfest as described above?

No, it's a terrible idea

Heck yes, I'm in!
7 (77.8%)

I'd rather do a proper exchange, but okay
0 (0.0%)

I probably wouldn't participate but look forward to reading some smut
2 (22.2%)

I have a better idea, which I will explain in the comments

How about one post thread with everyone making a comment with their request a la fandomtrees type exchange?
People could then "fill" the requests with either commentfic or links to ao3. I don't propose anon period at all, since that would make it easier and I think we all pretty much would just want the main subject of the exchange aka smut for our faves XD

OH NO I LOVE IT. ♥ ♥ ♥ I'd be happy to coordinate through the Bigglesevents community if needed!

Looks pretty unanimous so far. :D
No idea how exactly a sign-up "form", if any, would work, assuming we'll pick from the huge range of freeforms in the [community profile] smut4smut exchange, but if there's a way to do it, I'm certainly up for participating. ❤️

Well I was thinking something like this:



Where people can just copy the general format for their request and fill it in same as they would on the AO3 sign up form. Obviously Fandom is not needed since we're talking Biggles fandom only, and the Tags/Prompts could be copy-pasted from the tagset for the smut4smut.
I went with ao3 username in case it's needed for someone to gift the fic, otherwise obviously it can just be left as a comment under the DW signup?

This is all just a thought and we can definitely run it some other way too! I am just here for the smut :3

I like the idea of borrowing smut4smut tags; I feel like picking tags is part of the fun of it. (But having the option of not doing that if people just want prompts is also good!)

Would that allow for multiple requests for different pairings, each with different freeform tags? It looks as if it would, and that's the main thing. :)

I guess another way to do it would be to actually make it a whole Smut4Biggles Exchange, taking advantage of the whole AO3 infrastructure for exchanges, with us nominating the freeforms we want to request. That might be either less work or more though, I have no idea.

Like you, I'm just here for the smut too. :D

Sadly an AO3 exchange is a *lot* more work (especially with a big freeform tag set). I obviously wouldn't mind if someone wants to run one, but it's not going to be me. 😂 I can happily create a Bigglesevents post for a promptmeme version of this, or otherwise let people use the comm for organizing a more exchange-y sort of exchange, but that's about all I have the bandwidth for right now ...

Edit: I definitely support Smut4Biggles as the name, though. <3333 (I was actually calling it that in chat messages to [personal profile] sheron before reading this comment, even!

Likewise. I don't blame you one bit. :D
My organisational skills are non-existent, I'm afraid, and I've never run an exchange in my life.
(I'm still working up the courage towards running a community.)

Re: Smut4Biggles as a name - I was just quoting [personal profile] rietta89's very appropriate post title. :D

What if it was one of those 'Madness' exchanges (like the AU Fest) where the people leave their prompts but there is no actual exchange since people can write for whatever post they want? Using the tagset for smut4smut? I realize that's still more work than a post and I definitely do not want to contribute to the events fatigue. What I like about a DW post is that it's just for fun and not any particular commitment to actually write a full complete fic with all the trimmings. Comment fic would do just as well!

Oooh. That has possibilities, although we'd need to get their permission to use their tagset or copy it. But I've had fun with the ones of those I've done in the past!

A basic old-school smut prompting meme, like the kinkmemes of old, in the Bigglesevents comm would also work well.

Yeah I just don't want the whole fandom to burn out on this right before h/c ex. So to me, a simple post with people filling gifts as much or as little as they wish seems like the easiest way to go. I'm flexible though.

One sneaky way to avoid burnout might be a maximum word count rather than the usual minimum? I don't know about anyone else, but unless something or someone puts the brakes on me, I can absolutely turn a kink or a very simple smutty idea into an epic before I come to my senses. 🙈

Considering the theme of this, having short PWP ficlets instead of getting tangled up in lengthy plots shouldn't worry anyone overly much. :D

Having said that, it could always be worded as a suggested maximum to avoid anyone feeling as if their creativity is being stifled, I guess.

Yeah I feel like staying within the bounds of commentfic rather than any sort of formal exchange will probably serve us better for this. Of course people can still write full on AO3 fic (I'm very bad at minimum wordcounts myself XD ).

yes that's why I included 'prompt #1' in there, so that people can do multiple prompts in the same comment. My only goal with that form is to "standardize" the requests somewhat so they have the ships/tags included.

I like the idea of something fairly informal and encouraging of short fic, perhaps something kinkmeme or comment fic style, with the smut4smut tagset as inspiration.

I am also in favour of the prompt post idea! I admit prompt memes in general intimidate me a bit (never know how to keep up...) but I think it would work very well for Smut4Biggles
