follow-up about Q+A days
🕑 Added 2020-07-21 14:39:34 +0000 UTCokay, so it seems like majority of people are interested in the concept, so i will try a test run next month.
i was also thinking that these would work as an all-day, not necessarily immediate thing, more akin to the pace of a reddit AMA thread than a stream, partially to avoid trying to get patrons to interact within the small, random window i decide to stream, and also so that i have more time to answer questions when i feel ready. so it'll be a specified day during the month when i take questions that were pre-submitted, or posted on the thread i make that day, and answer them on that day at some point in time.
i'm thinking a saturday to see how it works on my day off instead of trying to pile it onto a workday -- so i'll say that the 15th of next month will be the date.
the first theme i'd like to try is something a little more lax: stupid question, smart answer.
questions can be about any canon work or character, and the goal is to ask something intentionally obtuse, obvious, simplistic, etc., and i will try to answer in a way that makes it sound symbolic or more meaningful to the canon than it is, as if i had planned it all along.
as a side note, i'm going to want to develop a simple tagging system to indicate some basic things about answers... ideally, whether something is:
- soft canon (secondary canon that's flexible)
- hard canon (canon that is included in continuity-driven work and is always canon, overriding soft canon)
- personal answers (answers that are not meant to be interpreted as canonical assertions and are just about my interpretation)
- and idiot sandwich answers (answers that are more likely to end up causing contradictory canon due to disagreements between the co-hosts' interpretations of the characters or writing... it's a huge problem for me that i never know how to explain -_-;)
the simplest solution thus far will probably be adding something like [SC] or [soft canon] to the beginning of answers.
EDIT: oh wait, also, i'm not sure where i'll have suggestions for future themes open, i guess you can tack on any specific topics you'd like for Q&A's onto questions or just comment on the individual Q&A posts. or DM me. for pre-submitted questions, those would also be best on monthly update posts or in the form of a direct message.
