I'm once again in the AIM room writethisfanficsessions. Do join me!
It occurred to me that wouldn't it be fun if this community had a (semi)permanent room on AIM or IRC? That anyone could drop by at any time and find writing buddies there? Of course, there's no way to staff such a room all the time, so we couldn't guarantee that there would be anyone there. But it could be sort of informal where people would just log in when they were feeling like writing and/or chatting without someone having to post here in this community. There could still be formal writing sessions when someone would definitely be there. Your thoughts?

But I think we could advertise it so that people know that this is even an option, and maybe with time and some effort it could become a place where there is a high possibility of encountering someone.
Only, I think the name could be just writethisfanfic, or something like that. The current name is kinda long. :D
