Event Suggestions

[Rosie Willowwater]

That sounds very cool

[ringdistel]

Exactly
But we can ad a voting, if it need...

[MeadowRabbit]

That sounds like a nice event idea. Obviously providing it's one people sign up to take part in, as we don't want people not being picked and then feeling left out!

[Chibiscuit]

Okay, not sure if this will count as an event, let alone if it could be done but I got this idea from the WCRP forum and even though it quickly died over there, I kinda liked the initiative.

To encourage a bit of discussion, do you think that perhaps it would be possible for all of us to start (re)reading the novel at the same time? As in, we pick a date to start with the novel and then all read, say, 5 chapters that week. Those chapter would then be the central discussion point for that week. (time frame can change of course, this is simply an example). Could this, or something similar, work, you think?

Technically, we could do the same for the series. Watch an episode and discuss it for a week or so.

This is an interesting idea Chibiscuit I don't know how many people would be able to participate, but I probably will

[florapaw]

I'd join that sounds really fun!

[Chibiscuit]

Glad you two like the idea^^ Maybe, if it is okay for the event to go ahead (does it need to be discussed among the Council first?), a thread for it could be made a week or two before the actual start of the event so that hopefully more people will see it and decide to join?
We could spread the word about it through different channels too (like the FHC twitter, DeviantArt, Tumblr, etc) I'd be down to make like a poster for it too if that could draw more attention?
Or is that perhaps a bit too much...? ^^;;

[Chipster-roo]

This doesn't appear to require approval from the council; you can create the thread whenever you wish

Mentioning this on the FHC Twitter would be all right; I'll send out the first tweet when the thread has been created, and probably a few more throughout the event.  As for posting it on other social media, that would be up to the participating members.

You can create a poster if you want; the drawings you posted here and on dA are great

[florapaw]

I don't mind spreading the word on my Tumblr if that would be helpful at all

[Chibiscuit]

Alrighty then! I'll create the thread either later today or tomorrow then and see what might be a good schedule and starting date. I'm going on holiday next week (starting July 2) and won't have any internet during that period but I'll take my sketchbook with me and see if I can work out an idea for a poster (I have a few options in mind already)

Of course, suggestions for any part of this are much appreciated! And thank you for wanting to spread the news! I think it'll be helpful^^ I'll post the poster on my DA and into the two WSD groups there, so hopefully that'll attract attention. And maybe on Tumblr as well... or I could ask some WSD blogs if they mind spreading the word as well maybe? If they want to, of course.

I would love for more people to join in (the more, the merrier, and the more chance for discussion!) but even if it's just the three of us, it would be fun^^

(I've never actually organized any event of any shape or form ever before, so as ridiculous as it sounds, I'm kinda nervous ^^;

Back in 2017 we had a Winter Avatar Switch, I was wondering if perhaps we could do something similar this year but with spring?

[Alderab]

Like we all get new avatars for the new season?  Or we switch with other user's avatars?

[Chibiscuit]

Option numero uno. I remember I had Vervie with a snow bun for the winter switch.

So, then this time we'd get new avatars reminoscent of spring. Ro be freely interpretated of course.

[Norma]

Sure, I could change my avatar. But I can't think of anything more spring than rabbits and easter. Where could I find a Watership Down avatar that looks like spring? The rabbits in a field of vegetables?

[Chibiscuit]

It can be anything really! If it were to happen, that is.

Here is the Winter Avatar Switch thread.

And here is the Summer one from 2016, where the theme was 'something that means a lot to you'

So, I suppose, another theme could apply too. It's all just to have a little fun and mix it up a bit!
