Community posting rota?

[laughingrat]

O hai! I've noticed that comms such as poetry do really well on keeping active, in part because they actually have a posting rota. Every week, someone takes the helm and posts regularly through the week. Nifty!

We're all busy, though, and when it comes to something like movies, posting can take a lot of thought and energy. Every day might be a bit much to ask of someone, but what about having a rotating schedule where members sign up for a week at a time, posting at least once that week (but more if they like)? It wouldn't all have to be serious business, either; if swooning over Cary Grant is your thing (and how!), and you've got some great pics or some trivia/bio to share, why not? If comparative viewing is your thing, and you want to post a lengthy piece about some common theme in three Japanese classics (or whatever), that would be cool too.

I'm curious about what the interest-level would be for something like this; I'd love to see what some of the quieter folks have to say about movies, and this seems like a potentially low-pressure way for people to feel encouraged to participate. Thoughts, suggestions, etc. are welcome in the comments. (Even a "Yes, please!" or "Heck no!" would be welcome, since that would help me gauge whether or not I should then go around with a virtual clipboard, signing people up. :))

Yes please, I would be in favour of that idea. It might make me watch more of my unwatched DVDs to have something to talk about too!

I think that's a great idea. I'm on various lists that do things like this, and it works very nicely.

I'm about to re-embark on trying to watch the noir canon (to the extent there is such a thing).
