Re: No. 6 Day [monthly event]

Right... I just think it could be a little motivation boost...
And even if there are just some people who want to participate,
when they have fun and like it, it's worth it.
Ah, that was just an example. It's right, reunion day is
something for Shion's birthday.
I just thought we could have 3-4 special events each year... not
a No. 6 week, since that's way too much pressure again... but
once in a while we could do something special. I mean it's not
that much work to do. We just have to dedice when we want to do
this and advertise it a bit. We don't need to plan that much
then, especially when we take really popular topics. Maybe West
Block Day in February... NezuShi Day in May, Shion's birthday +
Reunion Day in September, and something else in December...
And this year... we could have Holy Day around Christmas time...
So people could do Christmas Stuff...or celebrating stuff... or
letting the characters smile and have fun while having a little
party. Maybe something like that, something positive.

Oh yes, Holy Day/Christmas could be nice!
Those characters deserve some cheesy happiness sometimes after
all, they've seen enough bad things for several lives (>_<)

Right :3 Maybe Holy Day should be between Xmas and the new year?
I guess most people will be busy during the holidays... Or
before Xmas? But I guess they'll be busy then, too. X'D
And No. 6 day... we could start that in December as well.. or we
could have one next month... but it's too short until the 6th...
don't think we can manage it.

Hmmm, if we plan No.6 Day on the 6th of each month, we could
assume that January 6th is also dedicated to stories about the
Holy Day? This wouldn't add another No.6 Event, it just makes
this one a themed-one. And it'll be after the holidays, so maybe
people would have had time to think about it and prepare
something?
November 6th is definitely too early though, so December 6th
sounds like a good start!

Hmm... yeah, that's probably not good, too... or we'll just do
it in December... When they know it early enough it should be
ok. ^^° or we just say xmas... some people might post something
for xmas anyway. I think it's a stupid time in general, but wen
we tell them a month before xmas there should be enough time to
do something. I mean you can queue stuff when you're not there.
So it's a second reason for them to draw a christmas card. XD
(And since there's nothing like Christmas in No. 6, it's just
the Holy Day festival.)

I like the idea of calling Christmas (or the days around then
... or January 6th, whatever really xD) 'The Holy Day' ^^ And
yeah, I think that's a reasonable number of special events for
the year.
I don't think we could make it until November 6th either. Maybe
it would be best to start with Christmas like already suggested.
[s]I tried to leave something and here it is xD All in all: Good
job, guys ^^" My head is empty so I can't contribute anything
special right now (not even ideas), sorry ...[/s]

I guess we don't even need that many ideas. XD We should rather
focus on those we already have and make them become reality. I
guess that's more than enough.

Ah, Christmas/Holy Day sounds like a great idea! And gives us
enough time to come up with something, too, as this is nice and
well in advance.
And a monthly reminder is great as well, since you don't always
have to participate but still have enough time to come up with
something before the next 6th of the month in case inspiration
does strike. It's less 'all or nothing' than an annual event.
If enough people feel like it, maybe a mini-big bang would be
nice? Though I guess that's also a big thing, but then you have
collaborative efforts and if you plan the deadlines out far
enough in advance, it should be doable. Just throwing that out
here so that it sounds like I'm contributing, because whoa,
you've thought out a lot already!

What's that? o.o I've never heard about a big bang
collaboration? Deadlines? :3 Can somebody please explain?

Ahh, sorry! (I never know how familiar these things are to other
people) Here is a link that explains it:
HTML http://fanlore.org/wiki/Big_Bang
Basically, a big bang means that both authors and artists sign
up at the start to either write a long fic (I think the usual
minimum is 20k-50k words, but some put it at 10k or lower) or
make art. The authors post summaries and/or partial drafts for
the first deadline, at which point they either get assigned
artists or the artists get to pick a story based on the
summary/draft (usually this is a blind pick, so you don't know
who wrote it until the mod brings you in contact with your
author). The artists then create artwork in whatever medium they
use to go with the fic. You can also reverse it, so artists
create art first and the authors pick these and write a story.
It's quite fun to do, especially with blind picks, since you
might get to talk to someone you've never really spoken to
before, and work together to make something nice. The only
problem is that you really need enough people to sign up,
especially for fic (as it's usually easier to create multiple
artworks than it is to create multiple long fics in the same
amount of time). Plus, it needs to be moderated. And of course,
there are deadlines involved, though these usually stretch over
quite some weeks and the big bangs I participated in had some
checkpoints halfway through, to keep you motivated.
I hope that explained it, otherwise let me know!
