BooktubeSFF Awards discussion

#BooktubeSFF Babbles is a way for the community at large to discuss science fiction and fantasy and become a closer community. We encourage everyone to join in on the fun and create content to celebrate BooktubeSFF. Commenting and discussing SFF is just as important as creating the videos too. This is completely voluntary but it will create a stronger SFF community as a whole.

#BooktubeSFF Babbles will run from March 3rd to April 28th. Each week will have a new discussion topic to make the video on. Videos should try to be uploaded on Thursday of each week but no problem if it goes up during another day of that week. This is a great way to join and be a part of the BooktubeSFF Awards.

Please use the hashtag #BooktubeSFF Babbles with a space between the two.

Thank you for your participation, we all appreciate it greatly.

Thanks for organizing this Paul! I'm not planning on doing the last video, but I will try and do all the others :)

Also, for those who don't make videos, writing a blog post or posting your responses to the prompts in this thread is cool too.

this sounds like fun, Paul! I might even make some of these!!!

Ooh, this is interesting. I will have to think about how to get it to work with my particular format, but I will try to give it a go.

Not going to do them all but some of the topics moving into April interest me more, and I may do a few of those.

I'll definitely try to get involved with some of these :)

I am going to be using all of these on my blog! They are some greats topic ideas!

Woo! thanks Jane! could you also post the link here too: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... Thanks, watching it now!

I'm going to get in on this soon, but I think I'm going to do them on my blog rather than my channel.

I posted my first babble today. It was so hard to choose my favorite fantasy books. https://soipondered.wordpress.com/201...

Since I'm late to the party, I think I'm going to go back and do a few of the older topics, hope that's okay!

My first babble! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMUW_...
