Mod post - Now What?

[jukebox_grad]

So, obviously we're going into this season with quite a big change. Consider this post our official brainstorming center as for where we all want this community to go. We want to maintain this awesome community, keep it going, whether it's reliving old memories or writing new ones. We've talked a bit about some ways we can keep things active, but

wow, lj is NOT cooperative today. can i change my vote on the middle one? clicked the wrong one by mistake xD

I've been working on a huddy drawing, based on some fic, so I definitely want some art challenges, I also have like... 3 other drawings right now too though, not huddy ones though, so I just need more time in my life :P ~or the willpower to stop procrastinating~ lol

[flippet]

Oooh, art challenges, yes!

I tell you, I am so un-artistic that I can't make a scribble look like a scribble, but if I could, baby - I would be drawing H/C NON-STOP. I'd be making art, I'd be illustrating fic, I'd be drawing cartoon strips with the storylines *I* want to see....

I mean, where else do you get to make your favorite toys do *exactly* what you want them to do??

[akemi16]

lol, i used to be the same way. I was drawing things that resembled a 3 year olds drawings up til i was 14. and then i started drawing half way decent, lol, very suddenly. still don't quite get it, so i still like to practice as much as i can ♥ it's relaxing ^^

where else do you get to make your favorite toys do *exactly* what you want them to do?? oh i know xD haha, though, with my last one I do believe I scandalized myself! xD a thrill though x

LJ IS SUCH A SLUT RN, OMG.

I really want to push the art thing. I'm glad to see that so many people are writing good fic, but I've always been really into more visual art. It occurs to me that it's October and october_october usually does an art calendar, I just couldn't think of anyone there who's still actively making graphics. Let's try to brainstorm some activities here - collage prompts, graphic alphabet games, episode retrospectives in visual form, etc.

I've always been visual too, I prefer to draw than write in any case.

dude omg I almost forgot about that comm! I haven't been there in AGES. :O and oh, it's October ♥ that's sad. haha, 6 days into October and I just realized that it's October ♥ *where is my head* I'd be all for doing something for a calendar :) or anything really. I just need ideas xD does it have to be photoshop though? not that great at it, still learning. januarynineteen only taught me how to make a basic gif to the point where i understood wtf I was doing like 2 weeks ago ish xD Sometime I really love how something comes out and then sometimes it's utter crap :P

I feel like I really want to icon and I just want people to do half the work and prompt me with caps or themes or something. /selfish and lazy

[worried_bubble]

Oh, I miss the October calendar, it was so much fun. You know, maybe an Advent calendar could work here? It's a bigger community, the days would be easier to fill, and everyone needs some pretty to cheer them up around that time...
And uhm, what about something Joy related for Oct 28?
Basically, I'd love any art challenge. I find it hard to put together an icon post, never have enough icons to fill it, but I could, and would love to make smaller things for a challenge.
I'd also be all for something wallpaper related - episodic wallpapers, for example. Or themed, or anything.
(sorry for the rambling)

[januarynineteen]

Your icon is flawless.

Thanks! Came across this cap from Forever a while ago, and I had to do something with it. :)
