Are we each going to have a theme for inside the contest? Like one does colors one does theme ect? We might need more than one post for our core material.

I don't know that we'll really need an FAQ thing for it. Hopefully our descriptions of the avatar contests would be enough.

Sorry, I should've made a more obvious distinction between the 2 conversations. The top part was part of our general thread outline for all the stickies for our event.

And I was trying to come up with something more exciting than Desert Winds Avatar Contest. Though maybe simple and sweet is a better way to go?

Genie Backfire
You've found a magical genie lamp. You rubbed it hard out of excitement, but you stumbled around on the wish and now it has backfired! Now it is time to design an avatar of your backfired wish.
Rules:
*write a short paragraph (4 sentences minimum) about what the wish was, and what happened.


this is what i have written so far for mine. xD

Looks good so far! I haven't gotten the chance to sit down and write it out yet...

I'm just kind of doing it right now. I needed to work on something that would make me feel i'm not being a failure.

These are my rough ideas on how to lay out our threads. Feel free to change it. :3

Remembering that this:

Title/banner

is the idea for a cover everyones threads layout....

Looks good Shadami. :)

Here's mine!

Did anyone take up for their threads the ideas that we threw around for the 'decathlon'? @_@

the only one discussed as a possible was the betting on camel races.

Libra: and Nephila:
can i get you guys to find me a cool trio pose for our runway? or should i wait until we have a title to get the pose theme? xD

---------- Post added 04-26-2014 at 06:40 PM ----------

Oh! what about "Under the Stars: An Avatar Contest" because in the desert they would mostly be stopping for things at night to do any kind of fashion xD
or "Oasis Under the Stars" or perhaps. "Jewels, Camels, and Sand Oh my" I'm so tired..

I was planning on tying in some blurb about Chelexa and Shersljfisjofdd giving me the idea to host the swimsuit theme, so that I could keep a connection between our sticky threads ^_^ That's just a thought, I imagine it'll be harder to tie in once I actually make the introduction

So far, I'm basing the hangout theme around coffee, but I'm thinking of opening it up to general feasting instead. I imagine the caravan overall has an oasis theme though, since that it probably where they would camp.

No there are not any special event items coming out.
here are the special threads that have been made with a little blurb about them.

Having the the FAQ in the hangout it a really good idea. I'll go make space for that in my notes.

your welcome
guys i'm tired... my brain did this.

Shadami: a cool trio pose like THIS?!?

EXACTLY!!i was actually thinking of doing something exactly like that. xD
the middle girl reminds me of my belly dancing friend Candy xD

I'll try to get the avatars all together and put them on the front page tonight, and I'll have to rely on y'all to poke me if I miss somebody. Wyrmbrain is pretty fried right now-- just got back from a family reunion/Grandma's 100th birthday party, and it was about 2 weeks' worth of social interaction all at once, preceded and followed by a long car drive.

Also, I think I volunteered to take over the decathlon. That's what I put on the front page, though. Possibly with PrincessKasumi:'s help? If you're interested, PK.

We still don't have avatars from ObviouslyAya: and dessertdesiert:. Y'all still interested, ladies?

Layout looks good to me Shadami.

oh fantastic. :] glad you like it Codette. i'm just kind of throwing ideas out right now to progress.

Wyrm, my host avi is buried in the thread somewhere, so here it is again:

Oh! Thank you so much, Chex!

No problem. By the way, is there somewhere we are collecting banners like the one in your sig?

Yees, but Wyrm is terrible at updating it. Lemme get this one and the smaller version on the front page.

Also, I love how we totally missed hitting page 100.

There we go! Both of Libra's shiny new banners are up, and I linked them to this thread for now.

Hooray for pretty banners!
