I'm writing a Chalion-verse fic about Iselle and Ista, set after Paladin of Souls, for [livejournal.com profile] femgenficathon and was poking around DW to see if there was an appropriate community to cross-post it to.  This is the only Bujold community I found on DW, and the rules say that occasional non-Vorkosiverse Bujold commentary was probably okay, but there's a difference between commentary and fic posting.  Since this isn't a very active community, I was wondering if it might be an idea to open it up to other Bujold stuff, including non-Vorkosiverse fic; if not generally, at least for my fic when I get it finished and posted?  I highly, highly doubt there is enough Chalion-content on DW to successfully run a community.

(Also, eventually I'm going to need a beta.  But it will be a while before then.)

My vote would be that it would be OK with me to open up the comm to other Bujold content. If this were high traffic it might be different, but we get maybe one post a month. (And even the Bujold comm on LJ, which does accept non-vorkosigan stuff, has barely any traffic.)

So there's my vote, in case it counts. :-)

I read any Bujold-based fic I can get my hands on, so while I'm not a mod or anything, if you don't post it here could you pleaseplease post saying where you do post it, when it's done? And I'd be happy to see it here.

I'm all for it, especially as I won't be following [community profile] femgenficathon

Also not a mod, but post away, say I, the more Bujold-fic the merrier.

As the official mod, I think that yes - the rules need to be changed to open it up to all Bujold stuff! And I will do so.

If it's not very long, I'd be willing to try to Beta-read it; I don't have experience beta-ing fanfic, but I do have experience with non-fiction editing and I think I have a good ear, and I know the canon.

(I will also be not-at-all-offended if you find someone else!)
