The Plug Club is a spin-off Facebook group of the Potterotics, like The Golden Stitch, dedicated to books. It was started by Potterotic Alyssa Jeanné Witte, who also runs the book club. It is a place for book-lovers to gather to discuss other fanfiction and books that they enjoy.
Starting with book 2, Alyssa implemented the hashtag #OnePumpChumps, which will be a fortnightly post for anyone who chooses to read ahead in the current book to discuss things. This thread will contain spoilers for anyone that is following the established schedule, so it should be avoided if you want to remain spoiler-free.
#Days[]
Each week on specific days, a post is also created to engage the members and is dedicated to various things:
- #RandomTuesdays - are general discussion threads, talk about anything! Your love life, your sex life, your personal drama, whatever! Let's bond.
- #MemeThursdays - show me what you got. I want those sweet sweet HP or HP-adjacent memes
- #SelfieSundays - we're all beautiful and positive people. I want to see you loving and feeling yourselves. But like, not in a sex way. Just smile and remember we love you.
Book Club[]
The group votes on a lengthier fanfiction to read and then reads a certain number of chapters each week. Discussions of that week's chapters are then held on Saturday using a dedicated hashtag to identify them. Members can come in at anytime and contribute to past weeks' discussions by searching for the hashtag.
