Willingly Writing Reading Circle (On Hiatus)

I like the idea of going at our own pace, but leaving a two-week period for read. I second that.

Since Adam wanted ideas for what should go in those empty slots...maybe we could choose a Sim of the week? We nominate a sim from each other's stories and take a vote (it's really not that hard to set up a basic poll elsewhere; I could even do it), then put up a picture/date chosen of the winning Sim.

I like the idea of Sim of the Week (SOTW). That could go in one of the empty slots above. @CreamierThanMami if you want to set up a poll great, put the link here or PM me, and I'll post it above in a specified section.

How will we choose a SOTW - like do we nominate a character from our own stories or do we pick someone else's character we really enjoyed during our weekly reading?

I suggest putting up the poll on a Friday and selecting a SOTW by Monday. Then we can put a picture of that Sim, what story the Sim is from, and maybe a little tidbit about the Sim (which we can share below and again, I'll copy/paste above, or people can send me via PM).

If every week is too much, we can just do a Sim of the Month (SOTM) instead and this might be easier and less pressure than a weekly poll, especially since it's summer and people might be traveling, away from their computers, etc. If monthly is too infrequent, we could do every two weeks and at this point I'm out of acronyms because SOTETW (Sim of the Every Two Weeks) is an insane acronym. LOL.
Thoughts everyone?

As for the other "reserved" sections, I was thinking one of them can be our schedule once we figure it out, that way newcomers can figure it out or even when we need a reminder, we can pop back to this first page. I'm thinking giving ourselves to the end of June would be a good catch-up period. That's 2 extra days than a 2 week period from today. How does that sound?

Then beyond that, we can read at our own pace. I currently am in another circle and I commit to reading 1 post from each person's story for the week. This works great for me, but I am open to suggestions from everyone else. It also depends on how often you all post. I try to do a weekly post on Saturdays so mine could be theoretically the last post anyone reads if we're doing the Sunday-Saturday schedule. I'm hoping to have a new chapter up by this weekend. I'm working hard on it.

Let me know what you all think. :)
