i'm picking up what you're putting down
Okay so! What I'm getting from y'all's input:
(1) Unsure of date/commitment, but might be possible
(2) Fallish might be a good time? I love the idea of winter, because I fucking hate winter otherwise, but I understand many people have a fuckton of commitments in winter generally. Hell, I'm probably underestimating my own. ;)
(3) Format undecided; people are pretty flexible, with caveats
So:
kirathaune reminded me of the WK v Saiyuki challenge from awhile back. And that was pretty successful with its participants and fun-factor? I think it's also solid since if we combine the forces of both fandoms we have more people with which to play? Also, isn't it kismet they began on the same year...
So I'm leaning toward that battle format. It would likely be one fandom vs another (i.e., I probably won't break it down by character this time), the fandom with the most works/points(*details to be ironed out) reigns supreme. This time I might do an anon poll at the end for participants to vote on favorite work, most creative fill of prompt, something, something-something, for bonus points.
Tentative: As a part of the battle (but not the only thing that makes up the battle) I have a passionate need for people to be able to, anonymously or not, brainstorm lists of prompts for people to fill. Since this may well be the last dance (though of course it's not. it's not!), I want people to be able to prompt that story they never got to read, that rare pair they always wanted to see, or hell: just read a really good story about their OTP that they might not have read in awhile. Even if it's just a glimpse of a story and not a full story (art/fanwork/etc).
Like last time, there would be various ways to play: doing your own thing, filling prompts, tackling small challenges. I'll iron it out.
Date: possibly, possibly Oct 15-Nov 15. Not firm yet.
Soooooooo... please offer up your:
Thoughts on the dates.
Thoughts on format: what interests you and what would inspire you to play.
General input thinky thoughts.
(If this should come to pass, I would also entreat you to signal boost this like fire? WK/Saiyuki fandom diaspora: it's a thing. It would be lovely to be able to give a heads up to people who are on other platforms and might miss this otherwise. The more fandom love, the merrier.)
Pee Ess. If this is not in fact the 20th anniversary of WK or Saiyuki, now is an excellent time to let me know. :D wikipedia/the internets have lied to me before.
