Is it too early to be thinking about next year? I just had some ideas for events and I want to jot them down before I forget.

Anime of the Month: This event will last as long as we want it to. Basically, we pick an anime each month and celebrate that anime for the entire month. We'd make Fan Works and World posts declaring our feelings for said anime. The only drawback I can see to this is that not everyone has seen every anime, and even if they have, not everyone LIKES the same anime.

OC Popularity Polls: Everyone makes a World post introducing their OC nominees. The OCs will make their cases (i.e. you write in-character) about why they should be voted for. Then, the other participants vote for (or rank) everyone else's OCs by sending PMs to the OCs' creators. At the very end, each person makes a fan comic ranking the top OCs as voted by everyone else. Yes, I know this one is kind of involved.

Valentine's Day/White Day: My basic understanding of how Japan celebrates these holidays are that girls give gifts to boys on Valentine's and the boys reciprocate on White Day. I could be totally wrong, though. In any case, this'll be kind of like a Secret Santa with a twist. The "girls" will be artists and the "boys" will be wallpaper makers. The "girls" draw fan art for the "boys" and the "boys" will incorporate the art into a wallpaper. The reason I put "girls" and "boys" in quotes is because you don't have to be a girl to make art or a boy to make wallpapers. This is an ambitious undertaking and I haven't figured out all the details. Still, I think we can make this work.

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Giant gummy lizards? Let me know what you think.
