So, I've been wanting to set up a Torchwood meta community for...ever, it feels like. Nearly a year now, but Things were always happening.
I know that once I make it it will end up being just me posting essays and passing thoughts and everyone else will sort of ignore it, but I'll crosspost to torch_wood and the_hub so maybe some people will see it? (And the first meta I ever wrote EXPLODED on me, so who knows?)
I have ~*plans*~. Prompts and themes and I'm actually starting to write a backlog of meta for posting. (Started Jack's today! Wooo!)
But I need a NAME. I wanted to call it "TW_Salon" as a reference to Franco-German literary salons. This is going to be a place for discussion and debate no matter how big or small! (But no fic.) It's idealistic and ultimately futile! It is a digital salon!
Roommate thinks the name is to vague and suggests sticking with "TW_Meta" or something equally obvious. I suggested "TW_Meta_Salon" but that is a long name.
Thoughts? I mean, I'm hoping it inspires some discussion, so I suppose making an obvious name has merit.
But "TW_Salon" might attract more people by convincing them that it's a community dedicated to Torchwood AUs set in Wild West brothels! (Or it might attract lit/history geeks. DO WE HAVE A LIT GEEK ROLL CALL?)
What do you guys think the name should be? I'd make a handy poll, but I have no idea how and also I'm not willing to pay LJ to let me.
SO INTERNET, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO NAME IT? *drumroll*
Comment with:
1. TW_meta
2. TW_salon
3. TW_meta_salon
4. An even better suggestion!
5. SECRET OPTION FIVE A JAR OF ALMONDS
And even if you're a lurker who never comments on anything but you somehow found me, you can comment anonymously! That's always an option here!
