Fic Club will be a monthly discussion group for fic. Each month we will read a specific story and meet on Skype to discuss. The hope is to have an intellectual (or as intellectual as it is possible to be while discussing fanfiction) and honest discussion about likes and dislikes, plot theories, characterizations, writing style, etc. Whatever stands out to you.
If we're going to let fanfiction consume our lives to this degree, we might as well do something constructive with it.

First rule of Fic Club: There is No Fangirling in Fic Club
This is not a forum for fangirling. This isn't about how popular the story is or how sweet the author may be. It's awesome if you're completely pwned by a fic, but let's dive a little deeper and talk about why.
Second Rule of Fic Club: There is No Cuntery in Fic Club
There will always be differing opinions, likes and dislike surrounding any given fic. That's ok! The discussion will be better for it. But let's remember to keep it civil and keep our critiques on the constructive side. Don't come to the discussion if you have absolutely nothing constructive to say about the story. No one will agree on everything, but you should have at least one positive to bring to the table.
If you're interested in participating in fic club, please fill out this form here. Please indicate which days and times during the week will work for you (include time zone.) Also, let me know if you are interested in being a mod. Moderators will host sessions in the event that I can't make it, or there are more people interested in a given month than can fit in one Skype chat.
By filling out the form you are not committing yourself to participating or being a mod. I am just trying to get an idea of the scope of interest and which days and times will work best.
I will be posting a poll in a couple days to determine which fic we'll start with. Once the poll is closed, I will announce the date and time of the first inaugural Fic Club meeting. At that time, you will be able to sign up to participate in that month's discussion.
