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 . . .

[Poll #1594519]

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 totally love the idea. (Of course, I run the fmagiftexchange and would've been happy to have an ALL GIRL ISSUE, but maybe later in the year, since I still need posts from the LAST exchange.)

I will be happy to throw this up on my LJ. I think you should TOTALLY put it up at fm_alchemist, too.

Yay! :D (My response to this is MORE LADYFESTS. *__* If this happens and then fmagiftexchange has a lady-centric issue, EVEN MORE EXCITINGLY BETTER.)

Extra pimping for this poll: ALSO AWESOME. :D :D :D Thank you! I think we're gonna wait to post it up at fm_alchemist until we're further along in the organizational process, but once we've got a comm set up and everything, you can bet we will be pimping it out everywhere despite the fact that I am terrified about pimping stuff out.

I know a few of the people on my flist are in Europe, so you may get more people coming over here.

And I always pimp the things I love. XD
