I don't mind the dibs part - it prevents bottlenecks over certain movies - but it's the "one every month" that's killing me... or, more accurately, keeping me from playing. Maybe there could be more fresh blood with a "one every other month" category?
From previous experience, I have to say that making doing a review 'optional' you're going to end up with a huge number of people who won't contribute and soon have a community with no entries in it.
True. I'm really leaning towards just scrapping the genres and just having a post a week before the first of the month where anyone could say which movie they wanted to do, then giving them a deadline of the end of the next month. I know there are people who want to recap, but don't want to on such a permanent basis.
Hmm. It's a week before next month already. I should probably set up something before the end of the day if I'm going to do it at all.
I actually like the genres myself, but that's because I managed to call my favorite genre of movies to make fun of. OTOH, I could see why people might think they were limiting, and it's not like I can't continue to recap vampire movies anyway. But I think posting requirements are actually going to be a necessity to make sure you continue to get posts.
You're so right--says she who didn't even see the April post calling for what movies we were going to do and therefore just assumed we were starting for May. I plead getting laid off and hired at a new job all in one weekend for my ignorance.
