Let's get the party started!

As some of us have been discussing recently, we've been feeling the loss of the NFFR forums as a place for fun, low-key, always-available community interaction focused around Narnia.  A Livejournal comm isn't quite as great as a forum for that sort of constantly flowing discussion, but we have it, and so we might as well use it!  With that...

In the absence of the NFFR forums, we want to really encourage the use of this community to not only post and discuss fic, but to share discussion points, questions, anything moderately Narnia-related. The only restriction we ask honored is for all discussions to be respectful; a lot of serious matters are tied into Narnia and to any fandom, reflecting as they do our many and varied visions of, responses to, and opinions of the source material and its derived works, as well as our life experiences. People won't always agree, and it's okay to debate and discuss in this community, but leave any hate outside the door, please!  We want this to be fun, friendly, safe, and inspiring.

The community is open to posting from any registered user (that includes LJ user, openid users, and Facebook users), and commenting from anyone, including anonymous users, and we want anyone and everyone to feel free to start a post going.  To help get it rolling, we'll have a few posts going up in the next couple of days, mostly just things the community seems to be interested in currently, and as examples of some of thepossibilities we envision for types of posts.

Thanks everyone for being awesome!  I'm personally super excited about the possibility of a centralized, revitalized Narnia fandom community.

Thanks, Meto! I mentioned to Song that maybe we could do a three sentence (or 5 sentence or 5 minute) ficathon with prompts? Something really easy and stress-free?

Great minds think alike! I've got a commentfic meme along those lines posted just now :DD

Thank YOU for helping me get reinvested in the flourishment of a Narnia community.

What ever happened to Ascast

It seemed like it was going great but then you guys suddenly stopped making them a couple of years ago. Did RL just get in the way?

RL definitely had me largely out of NFFR/fandom for a while, and I think to a large extent there's been a general fandom slump in the wake of the DT movie. Other than that I can't really say, but it'd be nice to have a place like that again :)

Mind you with Magician's Nephew supposed to be coming out 2014 (According to IMDB) and Silver Chair at some point (Was due in 2015 or so, but is now in development) we might see a revival of the fandom.

If someone is thinking of reviving Ascast I'd be prepared to take part. ATM, I have almost no other obligations as I have no work and no school...

However I don't know how to edit sound so don't ask me to produce it.

I think we had a nice run, but as school obligations and jobs and all kinds of life changes and transitions hit us all, it was hard to keep it going. But thanks for listening and your support - Hev

I am so excited about bringing this back to life! Can't wait to get started!

Woo, I'm quite excited by this! It's sad to see the old site go but I'm looking forward to discussions over here!

So happy to have an LJ Narnia forum! :) I think this will be a wonderful place to promote our fics and just generally talk about all of the issues that come up in Narnia fandom.

The loss of the NFFR forums has been a bit of a bummer- I still find myself clicking the link in my bookmarks to check in.
Thanks for making the effort to fill that void through LJ. Though I haven't been active in the fandom much, I still like to keep in touch with the wonderful ladies of the community.

Arriving late but eager for the party!

Yay, and we are eager to have you!
