Moving on from Archivefail!

With my previous post, which [livejournal.com profile] l_a_r_m has now dubbed Archivefail! nearing 100 comments, I'm going to stop commenting over there. I won't close the comments or anything. While I have thought for a while that aspects of the Narnia fandom were regrettably ripe for a wank, I did not think it would be this particular variety. I have it on good authority from [livejournal.com profile] snacky that even here we aren't there yet.

Admittedly someone trying to lecture [livejournal.com profile] snacky and [livejournal.com profile] cofax7 on the history of fandom is pretty funny. There has been some additional comment activity which [livejournal.com profile] lady_songsmith linked to which included an allegation of threats of exclusion from the fandom because the blogger told an author With Lots of Very Important Friends that I think the way they treat their readers is despicable.

I don't think that's me (I don't think I've been called despicable by a reader (yet)). But if it is, that means you all are Lots of Very Important Friends and I certainly agree with that.

So with that, prompts for Narnia Big Bang begin tomorrow!!! Are you thinking of prompts to help people get ideas? I posed some in NFFR chat last night:

Beaver ninjas
Gay giraffes (which I'm actually going to use in the next chapter of AW)
VE Day

Also, it looks like the NFFR AsCast will be getting going again. Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas?

There are elephants, as per MN! There are obviously lions! Why not giraffes as well?
