Nightmare Night 2013
Just a little heads up, we will be hosting Nightmare Night for the 2013 calendar year!
Updates are to follow over the next few weeks, as I'm currently without a computer, but here's a little teaser of what to expect!
Item 1: More Mods!
Last year I regrettably attempted to take on the entire blog myself, which proved a little overwhelming due to the tremendous popularity! As such, blog posts became rather dis-organised, being posted in clumps when I could get to the computer, making the entire thing look rather unprofessional.
As a consequence, I will be taking on a small team of volunteers who would wish to involve themselves in such an event, for an example, we need an event organiser, blog page and/or promotional designer and a team of posters from different timezones who can demonstrate knowledge of the que function to keep posts running more smoothly.
If you're interested in applying, watch this space!
Item 2: Better event structure
The 2012 event unfortunately seemed to be spread a bit thin, likely due to my genoristy in giving ponies AN ENTIRE MONTH in which to post their costumes.
Those that are taken on as moderators will be invited to a special skype call (mic not not needed) in which an exchange of ideas shall take place to help make this event much bigger and more interesting although limited to a slightly smaller time frame over the month of october.
As a result, there should be a wide variety of interests that should appeal to many of you followers instead of just my 3 crappy ideas XD
And Finally...
A better Charity driven event/something completely different!
The charity driven portion of the event "offerings to nightmare moon" was unfortunately rather underwhelming. Last year we raised about £70 for Make a wish Foundation UK. Every little helps of course! But I couldn't help but feel we could do better, so much better! And the poor turnout was likely due to my own shortcomings in organising the event, throughout which interest appeared to decline towards the end of the month (as is expected).
As a result, and per the previous points, a discussion will be held on how to make the most of this side of the event, possibly by doing a Raffle/giveaway with exciting prizes for donations! Everything about this portion of the event is of course very much in the air at this moment in time, but hopefully we can get some info on prizes and a solid sponsored charity soon!
That's all for now! Keep watching your updates if you're interested in having another fantastic Halloween/Nightmare night, next update will most likely be in about a week and a half or so's time so we can start getting things planned :)
Have a fantastic summer!
