Poetry is an excellent idea, Liese. I always forget poetry because ... well, I haven't written poetry for years, and I don't read a lot of it anymore. But I think poetry would be a fabulous addition.
Here's what I think needs to happen first:
1) We need to pick a theme.
2) We need to set a word limit, especially for fiction.
3) We need a deadline for entries to be submitted.
After that, there would be a lot of details to hammer out, especially since I know nothing about Lulu. But those are the first steps.
Also, a comm on LJ might be helpful, and editing could probably take place in Google docs.
Or, what Allyson said!
I thought of Victor and Thessaly too, Liese, because I love poetry.
What about Deena? I know she's done some publishing, not sure if she writes too, but hey, we could use her expertise.
Also I like the idea of having a theme and including a variety of genres.
Deena absolutely writes, as well.
Can anyone participate even if you don't write a lot? When I was cleaning off my old computer and I found some poetry and a bit of fiction I started and it's made me want to write again. I'd love to participate in this if it's possible.
What about a theme like "Vampires, Zombies and Things That Go Bump in the Night"?
I like the darkness theme kinda a lot. There's enough space there that we could go our separate Buffista directions without it getting too crowded in the middle.
eta: Oops! Not meaning to contradict, Ginger! I had the edit window open and was mulling.

I have to say, I like this best, too -- or better, I should say, than something as specific as Ginger's. It simply leaves more room to interpret, as Liese says.
askye, I've already said I think this should be open to anyone who wants to contribute, with the caveat that you might be asked to revise or otherwise edit. I don't know if we're consensing on that or what we're deciding, though.
