The 2008 Lost Summer Luau!
It’s time to sign up for the 2008 Lost Summer Luau! Already? Yes, already! This year's Luau will run from July 6 - August 4, and as your mod (that would be me) will be on vacation in late June, we're doing sign-ups a bit early. :)
As former Luau-ers know, those who stake their claim to a day get to be Queen (or King!) and order their minions to shower them with gifts on the subject of their choosing. It’s a win-win-win: participants get to amass fabulous tribute, plus they get to shift their creativity into high gear and shower their friends with presents, and everyone gets to read the fic and admire the wonderful graphics that are created during the course of the Luau.
ETA: Sign-ups are now closed. If you weren't able to claim a day, we still want you to play! You can participate by posting gifts for Queens, and by reading and commenting!
(The following lifted from last year's Luau explanation by themoononastick.)
How does it work?
It’s easy! Each day one person is crowned Queen of the Luau and on that day they get to pick a topic and demand that their minions (that would be everybody else!) lavish them with gifts and generally worship them for the (regal) goddess that they are. Topics for the day can be anything your heart desires, be it a character, pairing, episode, actor, theme - anything and everything that your devious imagination can come up with, just as long as it has something to do with Lost.
When your day rolls around you simply post your royal demands here at lostsquee and your minions will do their very best to fulfill your desires. Every post on your special day will be themed around the topic of your choice. Yay!
(If you want to get a sense of how the Luau works before signing up, just page through, starting here, on the first day of last year’s Luau.)
What can I post as a gift for the Queen?
Anything you want! You can post fic, picspams, icons, music, vids, meta, recs to things you think the Queen might enjoy, whatever the topic of the day inspires you to produce is a-okay.
OMG! That sounds exhausting! How do I keep up with the requests?
The Luau is all about fun so don’t worry if you are a little late with your gift, just post whenever you can. No one will mind if they keep on getting gifts after their day on the throne has ended - it just extends the fun!
Just one more thing - please read before claiming your day.
The Luau has very few rules, but it seemed to be necessary to establish a new one this year.
If you claim a day to be Queen, you must contribute a minimum of four times to others’ Queen days. Most of us receive a nice selection of gifts on our day and it only seems fair that one be willing to contribute in return. As mentioned above, contributions come in many forms: fic, graphics, fanart, icons, picspams, music posts… So if you’re a writer and your muse defects mid-Luau (as has been known to happen), you can still simply post picspams and still fulfill your commitment!
Sometimes life gets in the way and one may not be able to complete one’s commitment. In that case, let the mod know asap. Claiming a day and then failing to contribute at least 4 times with no notification will result in being banned from the comm and you don't want that to happen!
And that's it! All you need to do now is claim your day!
Step 1: Pick a day.
Step 2: Leave a comment with your day of choice.
Step 3: Start thinking about your demands!
Days will be given out on a first come, first served basis so please check through the comments to see if someone else has requested 'your' day but hasn't been added to the list yet.
