TheFifteenthMember ...dango daikazoku~ — TheFifteenthMember 22:38, 4 September 2015 (UTC) I hear the rustles of dusty school bags, hey it's September and that means we only have four months 'til the end of year. I assume we're planning on doing another Event so we better get started on planning out our End of Year Event 2015! Like last year, we're beginning by drafting out ideas and deciding which one we want to do. Contribute your ideas and comment on everyone else's too!

Ideas

Keyblade War character contest

TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 22:38, 4 September 2015 (UTC) Celebrating the recent KHUX, my idea is a contest that involves small groups of three to collaborate and create their own Keyblade Wielder present at the time of the Keyblade War (similar to a roleplay). The way it works is each person in a group contributes one creative piece that shows a certain aspect of the character and when the three creative pieces are looked at together, we understand the character in a fuller picture. I use the term "creative piece" loosely to encourage as many types as possible: fanfics, stories, monologues, diary entries, comic strips, character portraits, art, collages, musical tracks, and whatever else you can think of. For example, one group could have a portrait of the character, a backstory, and a Keyblade design. There will be a group of impartial judges who anonymously score each group's work and from that, we get a winner. The scoring could have certain marking brackets, something like a score out of 10 marks for each individual piece, 5 marks for the overall connectivity and shared themes between them, and 5 marks for variety between creative pieces (to avoid something like three stories). These categories aren't set in stone. If marking individually is too harsh, we could do a combined score of the group's entire collection. The bonus categories could change too. I understand that collaborating to create one character might be something that could get somewhat sensitive or argumentative, so randomly selecting groups as we done in the past might not work out. On one hand, random grouping makes sure no one feels left out but on the other hand, choosing your own group would mean partnering up with similar-minded people, which would make teamwork a lot smoother. I think that we should get the best of both. If people wish, they can form their own group and all sign up together or they can choose to sign their name under a "Put me in a group!" section which will be randomised to generate groups. This is a fairly ambitious event that demands quite a lot from people so if we decide on this idea, the earlier we begin, the better. We want as much time for the work to be done as possible, perhaps begin November, judge mid-December and results come out in magazine? Okay, here's hoping I remembered to say everything I planned on saying...
