Discussion posts

Is there a comm where liveblog episode discussions posts happen vs after episode discussion posts? Thanks. I noticed the post last Thursday was 21 minutes in which makes me think this comm does after discussion posts.

As I seem to be the only one so far who makes the discussion posts, they tend to go up when I have a chance to get to my computer, which sometimes doesn't happen until after a commerical break or slightly longer if things come up. If someone else wants to do the posts so they're up before the episodes, feel free.

I'll keep that in mind. I didn't know if it was a mod only duty or not. :)

Chiming in to say I would love to have weekly liveblog discussion posts. Maybe someone could take it up with the mod, if permission is needed or something.

cbselementary (http://cbselementary.dreamwidth.org/) at Dreamwidth usually does live discussion posts, though it's very quiet there.

I kept refreshing yesterday and they didn't post one.

Yeah, I know :\ Might have been because the episode didn't actually start until so late at night. I almost gave up waiting for it myself. (And actually, I still haven't seen the whole thing!)

I didn't want to make a post myself because I don't know if the mods would get mad. Same reason why I didn't make a post here when it started.

Maybe you or someone else could start the posts earlier and advertise the live posts diligently in Elementary posts on ONTD? I think that's how the mod form the Scandal comm got the live discussions going. They didn't get a lot of traffic in the beginning either but now they're really active. Considering the amount of ONTDers who watch Elementary I think there would be plenty of interest.

I'm in Europe so I always miss the live discussion posts, but I would love reading the live discussion posts the next day.

I already advertise, usually in the Elementary promo posts on ONTD. I haven't made a discussion post here because I'm not a mod and I didn't know if that was something only they wanted to post.

Oh sorry, I must have missed that. I think the mods wouldn't mind, especially since killerweasel who usually makes the posts doesn't seem to. But you could always message one of them and ask.

Maybe you can ask the elementary stan on ONTD to add a line at the bottom of her posts on Thursdays to urge ppl to join the comm and the discussion post. IDK just brainstorming.

[vickyblueeyez.livejournal.com]

that's a good idea

Actually, ONTD doesn't allow other comm mentions in posts. I tried to do it with ontd_startrek and they were denied every time.

Ah OK, I could have sworn I've seen other comms mentioned. Maybe you should keep it cryptic and just remind people of the discussion post without mentioning the comm and just link to the comm in the comments. Loopholes lmao.
