Excellent! Added to the list!

Jupi's put together a haiku sharing thread on behalf of us Obas in honor of the Plum Blossom viewing... I'm giving her a little hand here~.

i can find some flash games unless Cosmos_hime is doing that again

I think I'll do an otaku senshi contest

She mentioned that she might be busy because she's on an undetermined-length LOA, so if you wouldn't mind hosting one or two flash games I don't think she'd mind at the moment.

Sounds great! Thank you!

I'd like to do a kimono and/or yukata dress up game. I've looked up for some dress up games and I haven't particularly found one I super liked, though I have one I will most likely use if I can't find another. Does anyone know of any good kimono/yukata dress up games?

What about some of these, Brit? Collection of Kimono-themed dress up dolls

I found a few but Sailor Mercury if you would please take a look at them.

I think these would be fine, Sports—did you want to offer more than one?

The event is two weeks long.

Oh thanks! (sorry thought i replied xD) You can put me down to do a dress up game, I'm just still trying to decide which one has the best options. I usually try to see if I can make at least the inners and outers with the options given. ^^;

Would gathering a collection of spring / cherry blossom festival-themed coloring pages into a thread count as an activity? I'm not sure what else I could do. I'm too busy with work atm to actively host a game like mad libs for example.

Yes, colouring book pages would be fine; I believe we've had similar "activities" for past festivals, when I take a scroll through the archives.

My thread is posted and ready for approval!

Ahh shoot I didn't see this reply until now. It doesn't need to be a contest does it? If you still need threads for the event, I could quick throw something together.

It doesn't need to be a contest. If you're able to put something together, that would be great!

If you want to look over my dress up contest thread, the only thing I need to add to it is graphics. Everything else is ready to go!

have a safe LOA Mercury

My graphics are officially in and gameis ready to go per your approval Mercury. ^_^

Yukata Dress Up: https://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/t15689-yukata-dress-up-contest-wip#402628

I apologize for this being last minute but I will have to pull out for the Crossword -_-. I had a handful of questions but simply no time to put the thread together.

On the plus side, the thread for the special Livestream is complete! https://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/t15700-hanami-episodes-livestream#402909
A very big thank you to Brit for sharing the hosting duties with me!!

Thanks everyone—the event is now live!
