8D Attention Peoples!

[Amayasama]

>> So I've seen our activity has dropped a bit but I am hoping to get some new recruits out there! 8D So if you guys know anyone to invite feel free to bring in as many as possible ;D Plus don't feel afraid to use the other threads guys! 83

Much love to ya all <3

[Neon]

I'll keep my eyes open for good recruits.

[Ridel]

Haha! I'm not so sure it's new recruits that we need so much as actually active old recruits. ;;^_^

Is there perchance anything that we who are already here can do to make the forum a little more lively?
I mean, not many want to join a board if it looks like no one is active. (And yes, I am totally guilty of this.) >__>

For instance, on my Transformers board, I started a month long "Finish your stories!" thread, where everyone adopted a word count goal for the month and hacked away tirelessly at their fanfics. (We actually had an awesome turn out that month!) Since then we've had those contests every other month, and they've really helped our writers a lot.

Would anyone be interested if I started say, a week long writing contest to help us update our stories?

I'd be willing to draw up some small prizes and such if anyone would be interested.
Let me know what you think!

[biali]

That sounds like a good Idea to me. I can work really good, if I get some pressure.
And I could offer some prizes, too, but only in picture-form... if anyone of you likes my art, that is ^^

Well, I'm quite new here, too. And it would really be much more attractive if some more people would be active. But of course I'll try to find some new peeps ^^

[Ridel]

Yay! I'm glad that you like the idea!
And I'm sure that others could come up with some good ideas for contests too.

Fan art and characters swaps are always fun, but I'm getting a bit ahead of myself I think. ^__^;;

And Biali, I'd totally want to win art from you. XD

[Amayasama]

^^ Aw how cute! That actually seems like a good idea >> And I could use a little push in my writing I say we should give it a shot Ridel~ Also I could try and pitch in for prizes if we do so ^3^ Drawing on DA also needs a little more love from me XD

I'm afraid that I can't do much to the site, I think only Ronnie can but perhaps if we just get people more active/new recruits we'd be inviting more people. :3 Anyone who has ideas let us know here!

[Ridel]

Alright then!

So do we want our first contest to be a word count one?
And if so, how long should it run?

We'll also need to run it past Ronnie (I doubt she'll have a problem with it, but you know, it is her site and all) and figure out who does what prizes and such.

[Neon]

Oh! Interesting ideas. I wish I could contribute to the prizes, but my artwork is not very good. Unless someone wants something abstract. ^-^;;

I've never done a word-count "contest" before. o.o

I also had an idea for an RP that I could develop if someone thinks I should?

[LightHeart]

Meh,I'm one of the guilty ones. *brace herself to be stoned* I promise to be more active...but some of my writings are dead here,so I Might delete them...

As for fresh meat, I think I can scavenge some.

[Amayasama]

XD Haha be gentle Light

:3 And Ridel, it would be good to run it past Ronnie though...is she on hiatus, does anyone know? ^^; I'm afraid I haven't seen her in a long time so I'm not sure.

As for your RP Neon go ahead It won't hurt anything if you start it x3 Perhaps I could even join in x.x I haven't done an RP in ages...

[Satal]

I can put up a chibi or something not like omigawdsoamazing cause I'm not omigawdsoamazing as a prize. Though as for contests... I'd fail. XD

Well, I sent a note to both of her DA accounts, but I don't know how often she's been going there lately. (Darn you hidden status!)

I don't have her IM or anything. :S

[biali]

I also like the RP- Idea. I've only done one-on-one RP until now, and would like to join one with more people ^^

And how does this word-count-thing work? Does it mean that everyone has to write a story of a certain number of words?

Well, I think we ghave to wait for Ronnie to agree with it. Would only be fair since it is her site ^^

[emily13]

I like the contest idea, nothing like a healthy dose of competition :]

And if it's new members you're looking for, my story got some of my friends into G/T so I could probably recruit a couple of them.

[Amayasama]

^^ That would be great Emily! Go ahead and invite anyone to join XD

:3 Okay Ridel! Whenever she sends a reply let us know dear >3 I am a bit excited to do something like that, I'm never done a contest before ^^

[Ridel]

Lol! Lets hope that she actually checks her DA before all the enthusiasm dies. XD

Oh, lol, no kidding!
I'm getting started on that RP, I promise! XD

[Ridel]

Well you guys, it's been over ten days.
I had sent notes to both of Ronnie's DA accounts, as well as her email as listed on her user page here.
Still no reply. I think she's on one of her huge "Disappear from the internet in general for months at a time" hiatus's. :[

I really can't see her having any trouble with us starting up a contest on our own here. It's pretty much just like starting a new game thread, and anyone who's interested can join in.

What do you guys think? Ought we to go ahead and start a contest? Or keep waiting for Ronnie? Please give me your input.

lol...well I know that I seriously shouldnt be adding input cause im sooooo inactive
recently...>////<' ....but I dont think that Ronnie would be too hurt if you tried to boost
activity here. Its really cool that you guys are trying to really get things going again here. ^__^

[biali]

I think as long we don't blow anything up, it would only be good to get this board going again ^^
I still like the contest idea and am still willing to offer my art as a price ^^
