Since it seems like most people, myself included, would prefer to do this on the boards, that's what we'll do. Also, unless there are any objections, (K)nightfall will be our official first fanfic club read so that we don't get started late for October. If anybody wants to nominate and vote on a short story to go along with it, we can do that, too.

If anyone has a story in mind that is not on the archive, maybe you can email the author to have them archive the story. I've gotten several stories into the archive this way.

I'm a little late to the party, but would love to join the fanfic reading club!

I've converted Knightfall to epub format if I should upload it anywhere or email to anyone let me know.

I'm probably stating the obvious  but if you haven't already considered it, I'd suggest starting a fresh thread for each fanfic/discussion. LabRat :-)
Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Absolutely.
Btw, I was only asking about where the discussion takes place because I wanted to know if I stand a chance of joining. Because chatting is pretty much out of the question for me. I'm one of those FoLCs from across the Atlantic. So, yes, I prefer a discussion on these very boards.

Plus, the advantage of having the discussion here is that it's available for future members to enjoy and even participate in at a later date. Much like the ep discussion threads.

LabRat :-) Yes, I agree that a new thread for each discussion is a good idea.

If the story had originally been posted here, should a new thread be started, or should the discussion take place in the feedback thread for the last part of the story? Posting in the FDK thread would make it easier for subsequent story readers to find the discussions.

Perhaps we should start a new thread and include links both in the previous FDK and in the new thread linking back to the old FDK.

Better still, start a new thread and include a link to the story's TOC. Newbies can find the story and original FDK thread in there and I'll add a link to the new FFC thread into the TOC. Everything in one neat package.  LabRat :-)

Nice and organized--perfect! As a newbie, I LOVE this idea, totally will make sense to me  Love how organized this board is!

Thanks, LabRat. The double links are the perfect solution.

I hope some of the people who aren't newbies and who have read many (or most) of the stories on the Archives (and you know who you are, because you're always recommending stories to the rest of us -- hint, hint) would also join in on the discussion. Which stories do YOU keep going back and reading? The nomination process would be a great time to suggest your favorite stories (both long and short). We NEED you and your expertise in choosing what stories to read. We'd love to hear from you during the story discussions as well. Tell us WHY this is your favorite story. What draws you back to reading it, re-reading it, and recommending it year after year? How does it speak to you? This FanFiction Reading group will be better with input with the first time reader and those who know the stories by heart. We should also have a separate thread for each month's nomination process. Some people may not have read that month's selection but want to join in on next month's. Also, it would make for a cleaner discussion not to include the nitty-gritty business of choosing the next stories within the current month's discussion. If we have difficulty receiving nominations, perhaps we should go back to the first Kerth Awards and choose a story which won. LLF, since nobody has definitively nominated a short story for October, you should just choose one from the 1998 Kerth Award Winners page. What do you think? Wow, I just saw that back in the beginning they did most Kerths by topic, not length. My, times have changed and how many topics there were.  Well, since '[K]nightfall' is described by the author as a drama, should we pick something funny or romantic / WAFFy for our short story?
