What kind of weekly/monthly threads would you want to see on !writing? (beehaw.org)

For example, /r/writing has weekly critique and check-in threads, and /r/writingprompts does a theme-based writing contest every Thursday.

I'm no mod, by the way - I'm just interested to know what others would like to get from a writing community like ours, and I think it would be cool if we could start something which could bring this community together regularly.

I'd be interested in craft-related threads. For example, what descriptive techniques do you use or admire? My personal interest in self-promo within writing communities is low, as I think it makes more sense to promote to readers instead of other writers, but I suppose the beauty of weekly or monthly threads is they keep things organized so people can find what they want. Also, check-in or accountability threads would be fun. What did you get done this week?
