Discord Date?

Whoops, sorry for the late update! Work has been exhausting lately ^^;

Anyways, sign-ups have officially closed! While latecoming artists will not be turned away, the project will be moving forward.

Speaking of which, the next item in the schedule is a Discord Conference for planning out the monthly themes.

Please message/reblog this post with dates/times of availability.

Ex:

ChaoticBlades is available on Fri/Sat or before 1 PM on Sun/Tue/Thur.

i have a question about the calendar thingy,are the pieces supposed to be done by 3 different people for each of the steps that you mentionned? i thought each participant had to draw to pieces on their own from start to finish. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

That’s part of what will be addressed in the Discord Conference. The idea is that participants will be sorted into groups based upon their teamwork preferences: those who like working in large groups, those who prefer small groups, and those who prefer to work alone.

Once people are in satisfactory groups and the months are assigned, I plan to leave it up to each group to decide how they want to divide the workload. 

3 calendars makes for a combined 36 pieces, so we should be able to accommodate everyone’s tastes as well as give them a chance to play around with how they contribute (since I’ve yet to get a response with only one type of skillset identified).

Tentative Deadline Schedule

As it makes the most sense to create calendars for the year 2019, I’ve put together a deadline schedule to keep us on track. Feel free to reblog, as Tumblr has been weirdly temperamental with posts showing up and the news ain’t gonna spread itself!

I’ve left the conference dates to be decided based on availability. And no worries--there’s are, after all, tentative deadlines that can be adjusted according to individual needs. This isn’t a job; it’s a fandom event meant for enjoyment and a reward that will last all of next year. Ideally it should be as stress-free as possible.

Let’s get down to business

...to narrow down what sorta content we’re interested in getting our little birdie hands on!

The last survey only has 5 responses thus far, so feel free to chime in! Its purpose was to probe for interest in both the calendar(s) and participation, so it’ll be nice to have more people on board.

As for the next two, the focus is the month-to-month themes/which character is assigned which month. The 1st is devoted to the EW and Origins calendars, the 2nd to a combined pin-up. Be sure to take the surveys, as the more results we get, the better able to organize we’ll be!

Fandom Collab Calendars

Sounds like there’s a fair bit of interest! As such, I’ve taken the liberty of creating a preliminary survey:
