Ok so this is where we talk about the Advent Calendar idea! Instead of a countdown to Christmas, we are gunna do a countdown to New Years!

The basic idea is everyday you have to log onto the specified thread for the countdown and there would be something up for grabs for that day only.

So far we've come up with a couple of freebies like avatars, signatures, side bumpers, etc. But we def need more ideas that just that. I think some others were discussed but i don't recall them. xD

Also feel free to post any graphics you want to donate here so we can ooh and aah at them.

DISCUSS!

i think that a countdown to new years is better than a countdown to xmas. some people may not celebrate xmas, but almost everyone celebrates the new year. i'm an example of this.

we could try and do a wallpaper, i think it would be nice as well.
or one gif per day, with each of the senshi, like one day featuring sailor moon, the next featuring mercury, and goes on

Oh! I like the idea of wallpapers.

I think someone mentioned to me while chatting about maybe putting up ringtones of SM songs or something? I know how to make them using itunes so if you have an iphone, but I could also make some mp3 ones for non-iphone users too.

yeah, we could do ringtones, wallpapers for cellphones and for computers, a fanfic/fanart, and for the last day, we have to do something big.

Yah Verdi and me talked about the ringtones and I'mma make siggies for the calendar^^ (That's why I closed my requests) MP3 and ITunes are good since that way everybody could have ringtones^^

Oh and I talked with Tuxie and we came up with an idea about recipes (mostly desserts) and I could at least write some Does this sound good?

Yeah yeah, I like the recipe idea!

I'll write some then^^!

Awesome blossom!

I love the wallpaper idea too! And ringtones. Definitely good ideas floating around here. Recipes, too.

I was chatting with Brit too that like perhaps maybe, for the older members, we could potentially throw up drink concoction recipes that people find enjoyable during the winter or Sailor Moon themed ones? XD

I also had a coupon idea. Coupons for various things, such as a a free graphic of some sort made by whichever artist wishes to participate

nice, for the coupons and for the drinking. i volunteer myself(and the hubby) to try out the drinks

Oh yes that drink concoction recipe and the coupon idea sound great^^! I'd be in as one artist who'd receive a request then XD I love to make stuff^^

LOL

i just re-read and it souded like i'm a drunk LOL

i don't even drink very often

Cause I was also thinking too, for the recipes, once it's up and going, you can post in a "results" sort of thread for recipes to like post pictures, what you thought, if you added anything to the recipe, took anything out, etc. etc.

So that would be good, Mi

Oh oh! I would love to help out with the recipes thing. I LOVE baking and cooking <3

Also for the coupon requests, maybe have a manga-coloring page request? Oh and a short fanfic request too?

But for the requests, I think it should only include artists who are willing to have requests done (some of the really popular creators on this site might be too busy and it would be bad to have all of these people say "ohhh! I have a coupon, make me a sig/manga page/etc!!")

So maybe on the coupons themselves, it would specify only who that coupon work on?

Like: 1 Free Signature of Your Choice Coupon
(Note: this coupon only works for Tsuki-no-Kagayaki, MiMakoChan and Lady Tuxedo)

Or something to that affect?

We would have to have to come up with a grand list of which people are willing to participate in which request.

(Edited to add; I think other people were already thinking this, but I decided to put out all of my thoughts anyway! haha xD)

Anyone up for a did you know sailor moon thing during the count down? Or did you know thing for the holidays in general?

did you ko for sailor moon works

Ah, I like all those ideas.

So now that we've got some good ideas on what to give how, how do y'all propose we do this? Should it be a single thread that gets edited each day?

a single thread that gets edited

Yes.

Ok! Sounds like a plan.

I'mma post my application on the artist coupon thread soon after I've figured out what I have time to make XD lol

Awesome

I think one of the days should be a raffle ticket for a real life prize of some sort. That could be the big finale and a great way to have an Advert work.

Okay I'm playing devil's advocate here so please don't get offended, but I honestly don't really see the point of getting a gif or something. Signature and avatars are cool because you can use them on GC, but I mean with a gif all you can do it save it and use it somewhere else, which anyone can do... I don't know. I just think maybe it should lean a little more towards the coupons for free avie or siggie or whatever.

I'm not really sure where you are coming from? I don't think anyone mentioned giving away an animated gif, unless, i imagine, it were in avatar or signature form...?

Nevermind, that was in the other forum, sorry :p

On my friend's forum, apart of her prize pack is this thing she calls "Ctrl + Z" which is the control for deleting. Having it means to get past a rule that pertains to the website with certain limits. For this forum, the best way for it to be appropriate without going too far is being able to change your avatar a second time in one month. Once the pass is used, it's gone.

I love that idea!

I seem to remember discussing something similar at some point (not in this thread). I think we would just need approval from NQS and Jupiter for that, otherwise, I would like to have something like that on one of the days.

The rule behind that would that they'd still have to go through Sailor Jupiter to have it changed. If anything, it can be a raffle day and only three to five people win the Avatar Change Pass.

Also, I'm not quite sure how you want people to win graphics by certain people, so I made something for it.

Simple and to the point.
