The Morning After...
... housekeeping things:
OPEN COMMUNITY
Maybe you worked really hard on an entry, but it just didn't quite come together in time for the subbmission date. Now's the time to share your work and get comments from community members. Finished or unfinished workshopping and getting feedback is an invaulable resource.
Let us know what we missed out on!
THANK YOUS
I failed to mention a very important set of people to thank...
I'd like to thank the 150+ people who took the time to vote, several of you who added wonderful comments on works. Many of these comments have been given to the winners and other participants on their comments cards.
PRIZE CLARIFICATION
If you have won a FIRST PRIZE of any type, you are taking home a doujinshi. If you won both the voter and the judges 1st prize you'll walk away with 2. So remember to email me your top 4 choices.
If you won ANY PRIZE and you would like to see specific characters in your prize pack please email me your top 4 POT characters and I will do my best.
The BANNERS on the website and in the previous LJ post are yours to snaffle and boast about in you LJ and elsewhere.

Poll Post Comp Clean Up: All Japan!2006
PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS
Surveys- I notice that in the comments section of the surveys many people wanted to comment about more than 1 peice of work. So next year I will provide a comment space for each of the entries. That way you can vote on your favourtie but comment on as many of the entries as you like. This would also be great for the comment cards, as there would be a more even spread of comments across the entries. I think it's great for each participant to get a comment card, they put in a lot of work.
Timeline - Was it too long? Did the motivation drag in the months between? I'm trying to gain a balance between length of time and complexity of work. This was a 6 month span (and no one went for the uber long category!) Do you think a 4 month span is more appropriate? Still long enough to do something complicated, but short enough to prevent the be drag time... Have a think and comment.
If you have any other comments now is the time to voice them. I'm looking for a few commited people to help me out next year.
Also, and I feel like a heel mentioning this, it isn't cheap to run the competition, so if you think you might be able to donate in 2007 (paypal link on website in sponsors & credits). I would like to maintain the quality of prizes and the creation of exclusive All Japan! items. Dontations doesn't have to be money, if you would like to create/donate a prize that would also be great. I'll chat you up again at the end of the year ^____^
To all the participants, you will also recieve your comments cards over the next couple of weeks, I need time to create all the comments cards ^____^
I hope you all enjoyed All Japan!2006 and will compete again in 2007 where will will find out...
Can Rikkai Dai be Defeated?
