please vote!
now there are several people willing to become mods and help out with the tagging system for the prompts.
the current mod team is still
i would still being willing to help index prompts too. modding is just way too much for me, but indexing a section of prompts is much more manageable for me right now.
another user suggested moving from daily themes to weekly themes, so here's another poll about that.
should we keep the daily themes or move to weekly themes?
daily
50(75.8%)
weekly
16(24.2%)
i'm trying to get everything organized as much as possible before the next modding team takes over, so mods, if you haven't responded, i'd really like to know if you want to stay a mod or not. thanks!

As far as daily/weekly - I like the daily format but I chose weekly because I think given the state of LJ it might be a little more realistic for everyone - I know that personally I've missed *many* themes I wanted to submit for but couldn't because by the time I could get to it the next day's was running.
For those who voted for weekly themes, how would this be set up? A different person every week to "guest host" or 1 person for the whole month who puts up a new theme once a week?
Also, something that I didn't think about yesterday, but that just came to me, is limiting how far in advance we give out hosting weeks. I think by doing this, it will limit the number of times we have to go to pinch hitters because the person I contacted never got back to me (and not all do despite me asking them to let me know they've received my reminder message).
If that fails, my offer to create a new delicious account from scratch still stands.
I picked weekly prompts because its hard to do every day, but weekly might be too long for some, how about new prompts twice a week?
I have trouble navigating delicious, but I have no experience with GDocs, so I don't know if I would find that easier. I'm a technical dunce.
That being said, maybe going to 2 or 3 times a week might be a good comprise between keeping the momentum going and giving people more time with a theme.
As to the dwindling participation... well, LJ is quieter than it once was, that's true. Mainly, if you have fewer live readers and prompters, then you get fewer fandoms/ideas suggested, which inspires fewer people to write. I'm probably not explaining that well, but the more people and fandoms, the more prompts and writers you attract. It's self-perpetuating or self-limiting, depending on how the cycle goes. So, more pimping of the comm, maybe?
And on the flip side, this comm has definitely gotten me writing fandoms I never thought I would, so that is bonus all around!
Oh, and we could cross-post to Tumblr and Twitter to direct people to the comm.

As for offering modding duties, just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it (even if that's just making the tea. I don't drink it, but apparently I make it well :P)
Speaking of which, how are we going to tackle that daunting task? Like, how many will do it and how will it be divided up?
I'd also be happy to crosspost fills to an AO3 collection as bookmarks. People could add their fics on AO3 to the collection's frontend if they're on AO3. Not sure who'd want that, but I know I'd love it.

I, and some others for sure, crosspost to AO3 all the time but I'm not sure everyone would want that so I don't know how you'd keep track of who minded or didn't.
