ArtSlam Glossary reminder
With only days left to go (!) I figured I'd dig out the glossary from last year as we have a whole ream of new people and that is awesome. While some of these have crept into art spaces elsewhere, ArtSlam started a few fun trends to keep us busy during our month(s) of art so this will help if you're wondering what we mean!
Event Days
World Building Wednesday - Usually a day set aside each week where the artist is quite happy for people to go nuts and ask questions that they can do up an art/written response to. This is particularly popular on Tumblr.
Fanart Friday - Fanart on a Friday! This one has been floating about a few years now and usually seen as a discharge day. The fanart is usually of another ArtSlammer's character/critter but it's really a good excuse as any if you want a change once a week.
Smutterday - This one has started to spread as well. A Saturday for artists to do smut, simple as that. The only ever request for this is to make sure you say when you are for NSFW reasons!
Please don't take this as something you HAVE to do or even that particular day, these things evolved as a mini weekly event you could jump in with if you felt like it. Don't want to? Don't have to :)
Come Sunday ArtSlam for 2014 will... begin!
