Now that lj finally works...

[jsfunction]

...I can ask for your help. I have a billion ideas buzzing around in my head. The problem is I'm not sure which one to pick for further development. Sooo, help me out?

Problem specifications: I want to have some sort of challenge where I can icon Farscape episodes (one ep/week, not more than a few icons per episode). Something interactive where I

You might have guessed it already but I'm a really huge fan of rewatches and even more of projects attached to them :D (althought I'm currently sucking at our BSG rewatch. i'll get to it as soon as i get my icon mojo back because It's so great *__

[jsfunction]

Yay, I was hoping you'd reply to this, considering I kinda got the idea from our BSG rewatch :> Hehe, glad I'm not the only one that likes rewatch projects

[vampire_sessah]

:D Rewatch projects are the freaking best imo! :D I'm such a rewatch nerd (is that even a thing?) really! This is also why it's no waste of money at all for me to actually buy a lot of the shows I watch. I'm gonna watch all of them again at one point or the other

[jsfunction]

Yessss, rewatching is the best. I'm such a dumb watcher anyway that I get all the more complicated plots just on the second viewing (especially with MoffatWho, seriously all that goes through my brain on the first viewing is 'WTF' but on second viewing they're awesome! :D).

#6 looks like a more popular option than #7 right now so I think that's what we'll go for! I'm already almost certain that i want to pick a multifandom option, cause it would be fun to discuss various fandoms. I just need to work our a few things, I'll make a post about that tomorrow (but the main question is probably about the themes and schedules). But yes right now it looks like the comm will be derived from idea #6 :>

Also my opinion: Sticking to a claim can be too restricting at times but it also helps to focus on one thing and you don't have too many options on what you can icon so that in the end you don't do any icons at all.Absolutely agreed! This is why I'd actually like to have claims. Otherwise I'd try to icon all of the billion shows I'm watching

Whatever you decide to do, I'm here to help. The work schedule is a little wiggy, right now, but if you need me, you've got me. ♥

[jsfunction]

Ooh, thank you, that is awesome to hear :> will keep this in mind!!

[erinm_4600]

Sorry I didn't have more to say on the ideas... the brain is still half-asleep.. I will ponder at work, however, and get back to you with some "real words". <3

[jsfunction]

Haha, no problem at all, I really value any and all input and I see you did fill the poll and that already helps me a lot! ♥

[nymeria_55]

First things first: since you managed to make the #@%$#@ poll work, please, please, prettyplease explain to me how it's done, because I could not do it!
(explanations in short words with many illustrations please - LOL)

Second: great idea for the poll **high five**
We have been talking about resurrecting FS_Land and I'd love for us to be able to do something again.

We'll try to discuss this on Sunday and see what comes out...

[jsfunction]

LOL, ok, here's how it's done...

Make sure you're using the post function in the Visual editor mode. Press the 'Insert poll' button, and you see something like this:

[nymeria_55]

Thank you! My lonely and tired neuron thanks you as well! I've marked the post for future use!

As for eventual challenges at FS_land it would be great if each of us choose to contribute in the way they feel most confident with: you with icons, others with writing, others with vids, and so on...

The goal is to have fun, and FUN we'll have! :-)

[jsfunction]

No problem, I had fun making that demonstration! :DD

Hmm, well I can see how it goes and if the challenges look like the sorts of things I could participate in, I'm willing to give it a shot.

But I must admit I'm not a landcomm sort of person really - I've been spoiled by the iconing world, after that landcomms just feel like, I don't know, like places where I do stuff that nobody cares about? The last time FSLand was active it just felt like nobody cared or noticed whether the stuff I made was good or fugly, it was enough just to participate which just sounds wrong to my perfectionist ears and makes it feel like it's useless to try my best. I hope this makes any sense? :D

So, my mind was full of fantastic ideas from this post last night, and therefore I had to sleep on it because it's always better for me to sleep on ideas these days so I don't automatically go, "PICK ME, PICK ME

[jsfunction]

Oh wow, thank you so much for all the fantastic input and ideas! Yep, I'm definitely leaning towards something multifandom now (also I'm thrilled to hear you'd consider picking DW - I haven't got a good chance to chat about the episodes that much so it would be fantastic to read your thoughts on them, not to mention seeing all the icons

[raiindust]

UGH OKAY, I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS

[ghanimasun]

No great advice on which idea would work, but if you do some kind of community type thing, I would definitely participate as much as I can!

[jsfunction]

Ooh, this is fantastic to hear! :D I'd love to have you on board.
