Poll: Community Events

[cap_ironman_mod]

In order to keep events running smoothly from year to year, we are currently assembling a set of guidelines for the event mod teams to refer to when setting up and running their events. Most of the guidelines are background logistics-related stuff, but we would also like to take this opportunity to seek input from the community regarding some of the options mods have in implementing these events. Please take a few minutes to fill in the polls below, and add any additional thoughts you have in the comments of this post. The most important question is the very first, and relates to the order in which events occur throughout the year; if you participate in community events, we strongly encourage you to give your input in this matter.

The results of these polls will not be applied to the Reverse Bang 2015 that is currently running. The poll results will be strongly weighted when the guidelines for the event mod teams are written, but they will not be considered concrete; the guidelines will be considered a living document and will probably be modified in the future as the community continues to grow and change, or as logistics demands.

For ease of organization, the questions have been divided into four separate polls. To avoid losing your answers and having to tick them again, please hit 'submit' at the bottom of each poll before moving on to the next. If you have any technical difficulties, please comment to this post.

Prompt Art Fest/Mini RBB?

[angel-inoshi.livejournal.com]

So I had this crazy notion for a type of Mini Reverse Bang/Art Prompt Fest.

The idea is that you would have artists submit a completed art sketch or drawing by a certain deadline. The artwork has to be complete enough to inspire a prompt. The artwork would then be posted to the comm or tumblr where the authors would then in turn submit at least a 100-500 word drabble, or if they are feeling really ambitious a 5k+ fic.

A new art piece would be posted every week/couple of days to keep things moving. I don't believe there would be any formal sign-ups for authors, but having a few pinch writers would be a good idea so that way at least every art post has something.

The Challenge would be to see if authors can post something for each art post...or as many as they can. I'm hoping having the smaller word count would be enough to entice people to participate without feeling overwhelmed.

This would take a LOT of time commitment from whoever was running it-- I've run events like this in the past for a Harry Potter community-- but it would be fun to do it both ways-- to do art to go with stories as well-- if someone wanted to take it on.

Could be fun either way! Do you have a link to where it was done that we could look at?

I know I spoke to you about this on the IRC, but I just wanted to say this sounds like a fun idea! More low-key than either of our longer bangs. We'll stick it in the hat. (Do you think you'd like to run it? Because if you wanted to run it with zia_narratora, below above... :D /lazymod)

Edit: because I forgot how threading works
