Title: Regarding the MKR Contest Livejournal Comm.
Post by: Milieva on February 23, 2007, 02:18:33 PM
Okay.  Again, Rae has fallen from the face of the earth.

I was wondering, do we want to continue doing the drabble/short contest? Maybe turn it in to a fortnightly thing as opposed to a weekly contest.  Or even monthly?

Also, if I cannot get in touch with Rae, I think we might make a new one and a few of you can be mods for it, so the profile can be updated.   I think it would be nice to have a list of winning fics and a list of runners up.  It is merely a thought.  What are your opinions?

It's the only way I'll write MKR fic at this point.  I vote DO EET.  Community takeover!

I'm in!


As my wrist is Possibly Kinda Maybe getting less of a problem, I need to start WRITING again! (I've got into the habit of writing a page and then stopping in anticipation of pain. um.) This could be VERY GOOD. XDDDDD

...also, challenges win. XD

I agree. I think we need to get a new bandwagon going, with a few people moderating it so as to allow the flow to continue. Monthly sounds good, to me. ^.^ Untill school ends and then Im probably going to be freed up considerably! -_- I hope.

How about monthly with two or more themes (more! ...XD)  or whatever, so that if you do one and feel like it you can do the other too? Or something. Um.

(I'd say ooooh, give the winners an icon each time! Sortof like the banners you get on icon comms? except than someone would have to make the icons. And not everyone may be as icon-happy as I get, so may not appreciate getting a random banner for a random drabble. XD)


(...not that I've ever been bribed with icons before. *grins at Mils*)

Even just having all the things tagged and in the memories of the comm would be nice! ^^

The problem with the current community is that it is run by Rae.  Rae is vanished off the face of the earth.  I am iming her now and again no reply.  I think I will go ahead and make a new community tha tlinks back to the old one, because it would be nice to see the winner's linked.

Who would want to mod it?  I will start taking names now.

I'd help, and can definately work on things on sundays. ^.^

I'd be willing, but possibly highly unreliable, considering how much I tend to procrastinate and/or dive into uni work for weeks at a time on occasion. ^^;;;; But if you need more mods? Sure! ^^

Okay, the new community has been created.

http://community.livejournal.com/mkr_contest_two

Original name, don't you think. ^.~
Title: Re: Regarding the MKR Contest Livejournal Comm.
Post by: suzanami on February 26, 2007, 05:26:47 PM
I think the new name is brilliant in its simplicity. >D

Also, I can mod as well.  Monthly rotation schedules or a chain-of-command for all the mods?  :o
I can make award icons/banners, too.  Personally, I think a banner/icon set would be fun, and I need to break out of that 100x100 box, anyway.  And make graphics that aren't Eureka seveN.

Oh yay! And I can maybe do some icon stuff. I just need to manage my time a little more wisely. Heh.

I write shorts relatively quickly.  It helps that I have been wasting time that I should be writing papers, writing fic.

Okay, you lot.  IF we are going to continue this, we need some voting happening, or there is no point for the comm, yeah?

I belive only Ragyn has submitted a vote to me.

As we don't really have enough votes for declaration of winners etc at the moment, how about putting up the next challenge anyway? People seem to be busy, but if there's a challenge up they might be tempted into procrastination via fanfic?

just a thought. ^^

heh, I'd try, but I'm not the right person to ask for prompts at the moment... unless you want cracked out engrish ('can you feel crying alone!') or, I dunno. Remembrance. Something depressing. =/

also my prompts have a history of killing things. No, really...... Don't ask. >.>

Alright, lol, I took the liberty of starting a new challenge. I hope you dont mind that I put up two options as I thought that was a wonderful idea. Also dont forget to vote if you havent done so on the last challenge! Please? please?please?

Damn, I've had no time this month, and I haven't even been taking finals like some of you lot in the states - deadline extension for another few weeks to a month might be an idea? ^^;

Had a question on the last challenge post - someone wants to submit fanart instead of fic, is it okay?

thoughts?
Title: Re: Regarding the MKR Contest Livejournal Comm.
Post by: Milieva on July 14, 2007, 10:41:09 PM
I don't care.  That would be great, if someone wants to submit anything. *laughs*  I need to get back to writing. I picked up my Try to Wish thread and am back on it.

*flails* I will do my best! I had something, SOMEWHERE, but half my notebooks are boxed up on a ship somewhere midway between Japan and England, the others haven't been unpacked yet. D: Restarting time, methinks...


Someone want to alter the user info to say fanart welcome too, btw? Or should we leave it?
