Kairos Impregnable

Okay, this is Stage 1 of the experiment. Our first goal is to have a place to talk about 1) the Buffyverse fandom, 2) B/A, and 3) anything, and to have it be a resource that people actually use.

To that end, I'll be making regular posts in this blog about the Buffyverse fandom, B/A, and anything, and anyone is free to comment whenever they like, as often as they like. You do not have to stay on topic. Challenge what I'm saying, add a few random observations on it, tell us what you'd like to hear about instead, post a selfie, examine the sociopolitical ramifications of breeding dusky conures, whatever.

The idea is that active discussions will be inspired by having a talking point to start off with, and can evolve or wither naturally. Just be aware that nobody is obliged to be interested in the same things that you are, and that loud and angry disagreements will be permitted though not fostered, and self-govern accordingly.

More rules may be developed as they become necessary, but for now, I have the final word on whether your comment is objectionable or otherwise not contributing to a healthy community, and I don't have to explain myself before I delete it.

Since this site is going to be my fanfiction archive as well as a hangout for everyone, I'll start out by posting to the blog every time I update it with a story. You can reply to the posts with "I loved/hated this story because", or you can say something else entirely, or nothing at all. Eventually I may expand to hosting B/A fanfiction from other writers, and use the blog to encourage public discussion about it.

So here we are. Go ahead and introduce yourself, throw around some suggestions, or just jump right into the chit-chat. Nothing to lose!

It looks great! And I love the name. You are maintaining that brand like a boss! ;)

I've never understood why people act with modesty or restraint when designing identities on the internet. Why make a blog when you can have a castle?

You have a ballroom? Does that mean that I will need some fancy dresses to visit?

Will you be having other rooms? Can’t wait to see what you put in the dungeon…

Yes, but the fancy dresses, like the ballroom, are imaginary and therefore free.

We'll see about the dungeon. Maybe if some trolls show up.

Uh – no. I think if I wear an imaginary dress nobody will show up…!

BTW, what kind of imaginary castle are you? One of those big medieval ones, perhaps? a white fairytale castle with delicate spires, or a romantic ruin? Something else? Just wondering…

Definitely medieval. Lots of gargoyles. Solid rock.

Gargoyles. Yes, I should have guessed that!

Well! I see the glamours are in place as protections from some of the season eight bombings.

I understand now why the fiction herein seemed to be an "orphan"--even if I do recognize your "voice," Kairos--now that I understand only your fic will be archived here. If and when there is other fiction to be allowed, I hope there will be a thread for beta readers that will help maintain the quality Kairos exhibits. Maybe "archive dumps" are not "eligible" to be transferred, as maintenance is a very heavy duty; but new items/offerings might be an idea?

How about essays on episodes we enjoy--not a recitation of plot, perhaps, but inclusive of ideas presented and how they may fit within a season or even the entire story?

This approach is a little different than 'forum" commentary, which is more of a "tit for tat" conversation.

I also would like a little guidance on the enjoyable iconography--size, etc. vids, or other graphic contributions. Again, the work to maintain a site is considerable and, even if we are adults, some of you may wish for a "warning" on content--aka "how graphic." "Body switching" is a common practice, so I thought I might ask.

I am in hopes that this forum is substantial, but has a different character than what may be a "home" site or forum for participants here?

Thanks, so very much and congratulations on all this gorgeous!

Hugs!

Hey Sybil! Gotta tell you, I LOVE your suggestions. I want to do everything we can!

It will probably take a long time just to get my own fiction up, so I'm going to hold off on considering how to incorporate other people's fiction. I hadn't really thought of discussion on beta'ing but that sounds like a lot of fun. It always makes good conversation when you can get a few people into a writing workshop.

Like I said in my other message, I do want to use this space for episode reviews and make them kind of a catch-all, so anyone can post anything about that episode. Only problem is that takes me almost as long as writing a new story.

Oh, and don't worry about limitations on graphics. Trial and error: if something is too big or doesn't work, we'll erase it and you can try again.

    Hi there, I'm Kairos. I created this site for the open discussion of Buffy/Angel as well as whatever. Sit down and have a taco.
