genarti is the LEAST HELPFUL PERSON EVER. I would just like to announce this now.

Because when I mentioned to her, like an idiot, that I thought it would be excellent if there was a fic-and-art exchange centered around female characters from Fullmetal Alchemist along the lines of the extremely awesome atla_ladyfest that the equally awesome meredyd set up last summer . . . instead of doing the helpful thing and reminding me that I am terrible at organization and have no time this summer and am terrified of self-promotion and all those things that go into doing a fandom fic exchange thing, she said, "I WOULD CO-MOD. Also the community name fma_ladyfest is open! :D"


So, uh. I guess . . . um, I guess this is a preliminary interest-gauging post to find out if anyone else thinks it's a good idea to set up a summer--->fall exchange focused on The Ladies of Fullmetal Alchemist: Look, Female Characters Are Seriously Awesome, Sometimes Especially When Hanging Out With Each Other.

Are we completely on crack? Should we really consider doing this?

I guess the two are not mutually exclusive . . .

Feel free to point people here if you think they might be interested/have helpful thoughts, by the way. And any helpful suggestions would be seriously welcome.

I cannot stress enough HOW MUCH THIS IS THE GREATEST IDEA and I fully support its existence.

Though, I accepted long ago that participating in fic exchanges is more stressful and unpleasant for me than anything else, so I probably would not be able to actually join in.

I will EYEHEART MASSIVELY FROM THE SIDELINES THOUGH.

And I have run exchanges previously so if you need any help, etc. I would be happy to offer that as well!

Validation of the idea and massive eyehearting from the sidelines is ALWAYS WELCOME. :D :D :D

And the offer is absolutely appreciated! I have a feeling we may be asking for advice if nothing else, since, uh, we're both kinda new to this.
