Writing session now

[anehan]

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?

Maybe a poll about whether people would prefer AIM or IRC?

AIM is probably more accessible, but it doesn't keep a history or have controls like IRC. On the other hand, in my client if I set it to autojoin a AIM chat room, it'll open the chat room if it's not open or join it if it is. Very simple.

Actually, there's an option in AIM to log chats.

Unless you meant, like, available to everybody? (I haven't been in IRC in yeeeeears, lol.) If so, ignore my pointless babblings ^_^;;

I haven't logged into AIM in so long I can't remember my password, and I'm not sure which email account I used to set it up. I like IRC, and I'm used to it from Yuletide. (That said, if people preferred AIM, I'd cope with it. But I like the non-proprietary aspects of IRC.)
