Project Discussion Post =D

Steampunk foolery ahoy... most of you can ignore this. =)

Soooo... what I was thinking that if we put it on LJ, people could post a summary and photo and such about their character, and we could also use it as sort of a compedium for links and references and things.

I was thinking that you could categorize types of posts (characters, links, et cetera) and then choose a backdate for each type; then for each week there could be a sort of newsletter post from a mod that would summarize all the pages that were added.

Anyhoo... thoughts, names? =D

Well, I like the idea of doing an LJ community.. 'cos if I take on another "big" project like a web page / forum / database.. my head will explode! *laughing*

As for names.. at least for the community.. not sure yet.. trying to think of something shorter / more concise then steampunk_mechanic_girls, esp. as it was mentioned to not necessarily pigeonhole it to "steampunk"

So.. umm.. yeah..

anyways, if anyone needs to contact me, I'm at sabrinageek -at- gmail. aim and yahoo = sabrinageek and ICQ = 401791629.

Any other thoughts?

Well, I wanted to keep it open to more than just mechanics, but I didn't want to label it right out as steampunk, either. =) Something like "Steampunk Collective" or something, but I want to find a cooler word than steampunk. =)

Names?
Well, is it a Wiki, a LJ or a Site? lol
This'll be SO awesome when its ready!

Well, I can't afford a website, so I was thinking to sort-of run it as a wiki on LJ. The only thing is I don't know how different levels of mods work, in regards to who could post what and edit what. Hm.

I'm afraid that I'm useless that way too -_____- My friend, the captain of my Sky Pirate crew might though. She's LJ-savvier than myself. XP

Would it just be for mechanics or would it be a series of guilds for different professions?

Anyone and everyone as long as we could get enough good modly types. =)
