due South/C6D prompt meme

[luzula]

Here's an interest poll from desireearmfeldt! For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, it is posted at my journal instead of Desiree's.

***Thanks to Luzula for graciously allowing me the use of her space to post this interest poll.***

Greetings! A while ago, I (Desiree) idly wondered aloud why there wasn’t such a thing as a Due South/Canadian-6-Degrees general-purpose prompt meme, where people could leave prompts for others to use as inspiration. And the universe (aka sageness) spake unto me, saying “go find out if people are interested in such a thing, and if they are, make it happen.” So here I am.

Here’s what I envision:
*An open prompt meme run via Archive of Our Own (because it turns out you can do that).
*Open access for leaving and filling prompts (though you’d need an AO3 account to participate).
*No time element; as with the existing kinkmeme, prompts would stay up and could be filled any time, multiple times if people felt so moved.
*This prompt collection would be general-purpose rather than specifically focused on kink or anything else in particular: prompts could relate to sexual or non-sexual scenarios. (I know the existing kinkmeme rules include gen, but it mostly seems to have been used for kink-related prompts, as the name implies.)
*DS and C6D fandoms would be eligible; fandom-specific or choose-your-fandom prompts would both be welcome. I would probably post the occasional public reminder of the meme’s existence, but mostly it would just be there for people to visit at their convenience.

Would the community be interested in having such a thing? Tick the tickyboxes to let me know! (Or, if you’re not a DW user, comment with your responses. Sorry for the lack of LJ poll technology.)

Should Desiree create a new DS/C6D prompt meme on AO3?

Fine by me.

It would serve no purpose that the existing kinkmeme doesn’t already cover.

It’s a bad idea, for reasons I will explain in comments.

If such a prompt meme existed, are you likely to participate?

I would be more likely to participate if it were hosted on LJ/DW than on AO3.

Something else, which I will explain in comments.

BG, if you get the ReGenesis DVD's, it would be awesome to watch them together (especially since I don't have the right kind of region player for them).

PM me if you need any hints for how to get your hands on episodes of ReGenesis. ;-) I think the first three seasons are actually on Hulu too. And if my memory doesn't fail me, there's a guy selling all four seasons for a decent price on easybid.us which I've heard from someone who bought them are pretty good quality. (I assume they're downloaded AVI files off the internet converted into DVD format.)

About the ReGenesis DVD's, that's butterflyghost who is also commenting here to whom you should give the DVD-acquiring info. She and I are fic co-writers, separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and this summer I'll be crossing the ocean to spend several weeks with her to work in-person on our dSC6D BB...and we are going to watch tons of dSC6D DVD's together.

I'd love to do that... we're beginning to develop a playlist here. Hard Core Logo, Regenesis...
