Talk:Friends at the Table

Secret Samol

I added the very basics re: Secret Samol, but I've never actually participated in it and I don't know its history. It'd be amazing if someone who knows it better than I do could flesh that section out a bit more (or even create a page for it?) since I know it's a relatively big deal in the fandom!

Page created at Secret Samol with what info I could find by scrolling through about six years on the secretsamol Twitter account, but assistance would still be greatly appreciated. <3 -- Malcontent (talk) 21:35, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Need Assistance

Assistance required, if any FATT fans happen by this page! Please flesh out anything you think needs fleshing out, and in particular I could use assistance with:

• Hieron-, Sangfielle-, and Bluff City-related stuff (fanworks, pages, etc.) - I'm most familiar with the Divine Cycle side of the fandom so there's gonna be a lot of nuance I'll miss related to, like, Samsam and so on.
• Fanworks, reactions, etc. posted on platforms other than tumblr - I don't use twitter or cohost which is why tumblr is woefully over-represented right now.
• Fandom history - I've only been in the fandom since 2020 AND I have a godawful memory, so combined with my inability to search twitter/cohost/etc., I'm inadequate for that task!
• Anything you think is missing??? Some ideas I've had:
  • Page for Austin as a creator & fan
    • This is in progress now (Austin Walker) but still needs more of the stuff he's created, including the Star Wars story and possibly some of his games-related commentary from Waypoint and/or his academic writing
    • Could also use links to fan and non-fan commentary on his oeuvre
  • Influences of Ali's personal history as a fic-reading fan? Maybe? She's talked about it a lot in show, and in the PZN post-mortem she and Janine talk briefly about how it influenced how she plays Broun
    • I ended up bringing this up on the Balence page, it's probably fine there.
  • Queerness in Friends at the Table? (Critical Role has a similar section for "LGBT Issues")
  • Fan pages, esp. for fans like dancynrew who've also done official art for the show
  • Page for #15DaysofFatT with info from years post-2018 (15DaysofFatT)
  • Section on the 2023 tumblr phenomenon where FATT fans kept going ham on poll brackets, starting with the infamous Samsam vs. Softboots most-divorced showdown

I've started striking out the ones that I've done in my previous comment to reduce clutter on this Talk page! -- Malcontent (talk) 02:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
