We have been invited to participate in a fic exchange.  Fellow Sophie, Julia, is hoping to entice us to write again, and I couldn't think of a better way to get us old RL fic writers going again.

Having begun reading and writing for the Gossip Girl fandom, I can't tell you how lucky we are as Sophies, to have that many talented writers.  We have so many, and the only reason we don't have more fics is because only so few of us have continued writing.  So lets get off our lazy bottoms and get to writing!

Find more information on the actual exchange here.  The direct link to the exchange community is here.  The exchange is hosted at dreamwidth.org, which was started by former LiveJournal support staff, and it runs in a similar, but better way.  Now, you do NOT need an account at dreamwidth to participate, as you can post annonymously.  But if you have a LiveJournal or Blogger account, you can sign up for an Open ID account, which links you very nicely (I have opted for this option).  Another option is to get a paid account unless you can get a free invite from someone.  But I repeat: YOU DO NOT NEED AN ACCOUNT TO PARTICIPATE.  It is completely unnecessary.  If you already have LJ, use that :-).

I'm actually very excited for this, because I will also be writing, which I have not done for RL in a very, very long time (yes, I am ashamed).  And we are hoping to get some of our best writers to come out of retirement with this fun little project.  So please join us.  If you have any questions, feel free to post below and I will be replying to you with any questions I can answer.
