WIP Amnesty

[kisahawklin]

So, one of the goals of this place was to let go of the WIPs slowing you down. I originally meant it as a place other people could pick things up and run with them, but a) I don't see that actually happening and b) I think that becomes a reason not to post your WIPs.

In light of this (and admittedly, wip_amnesty going active again), I'm wondering if I should change the user info/concept. I'm stuck with the name (unless I start another comm, and gods do I not need to do that - though amnesty is available...), but what do you think?

If this just became an amnesty comm, like wip_amnesty, do you think there'd be more willingness to clean out those WIP folders?

Poll #2537 What to do with this comm?

both amnesty + bunny patch - let people post their fragments and unfinished or barely born ideas, and allow them to decide on a story basis if they're releasing it to cleanse themselves or ALSO sharing with whoever is tempted to take and run with it, you know? there could be a 'free for the taking' tag that people apply to their post or not, frex..

Ooh, definitely a good idea. I will have to make me some tags. Maybe run a WIP amnesty... challenge-like thingee too, every couple of months? Hrm. I dunno, I'm so conflicted about the whole thing!
