Hello everyone! With over a year full of The Greatest Showman love and appreciation, we’ve read and adored a ton of amazing fics, especially following the FanFicFeb writing challenge.

So The Other Side Discord want to put the spotlight on these writers and their work by hosting a fandom wide Comment Drive to help encourage, support, and spread the love between our readers and writers within the fandom! And the best news?

●»— There are TGS prizes! —«●

With both physical and digital prizes to be won in this raffle-style event, it’s open to everyone to enter.

We will be kicking off this event in the near future with a post that will explain how the event will run and how you can enter, so please reblog to spread the word. You can also follow @theothersidediscord to make sure you don’t miss an update!

-

[p.s. If you are a writer, artist, or creative and would like to offer your services as a potential prize, please send us an ask, or you can message us via the discord server]

hey bab! would you explain a bit more in depth, to those of us who are wondering about but aren't quite sure, what exactly the comment drive is for tgs that theothersidediscord posted about?

Heya! Yes absolutely. So there will be a much more in depth post to follow that will explain everything; what the event is, how it works, how you enter, what the guidelines are, and a bit more about the prizes. We wanted to release a teaser/notice post so people are made aware of the event and can spread the word prior to to its launch. That way, the big informative post about the event isn’t sprung on people out of no where!In short, the event is about fanfiction comments!

You earn ‘tickets’ by leaving comments, and these tickets enter you into the raffle. Winners are then picked at random either from a hat or an online generator. The more comments, the more tickets, the better your chances of winning (:

I hope that helps to give you a better idea of the Comment Drive, but please don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have them!

Hello TGS fans!

With our Comment Drive soon drawing to a close, we would like to bring your attention to an important aspect of these events (the Comment Drive, TGS FanFicFeb, the TGS Secret Santa, and the potential events in future) and that’s you guys. The TGS fandom is small, and sometimes it’s quiet, but we see you still creating, still writing and drawing and editing and communicating, and we want to provide fun events to encourage and inspire you.

So many of you have expressed an interest in these events, have admired the intentions behind them and told us how happy you are to see them happen, and it’s always appreciated. But as much as those words mean to us, the only thing that will really keep these events going is your participation. We truly appreciate the effort everyone has made to leave comments and boost the morale of the content creators. Everyone who has dutifully sent us their links to tally their tickets. Some people have even gone on a comment-spree without joining, the good intention reward enough (admirable!), but if you want to see these events in future it is so so important you take part if you can, because the bottom line is, without you guys there’s nothing to keep these going!

Hey TGS fans! Following on from The Greatest Showman FanFicFeb, we are very excited to announce that a new book club will be starting up on The Other Side discord server! With a great team behind it, this member-run initiative is driven to be accessible and accommodating for everyone.

From the founding team;

We are pleased to announce [The Other Side]'s Historical Book Club, The Skilamalinks. Open to all, we will be meeting once or twice a month to discuss books and content relevant to the TGS time period in a way that will be engaging and accessible for modern readers. Our sessions will take place [on the server] at a time best suited for all members, and will be held in a round table style to encourage a fun and easy-going discussion where everyone can join in.

We hope you will join us this month as we start our first book, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime by Oscar Wilde! Meeting date and more details will follow via our new book club tag for participants.

Yours truly,

Britt, Eve, Mask, & Schiz @circus-playwright​, @circuskingfeels​, @themissingmask​ & @schizanthusim​

If you’re interested in taking part in the new book club, or just checking out our The Greatest Showman fan server, you can find an invitiation link on our FAQ page. Everyone is welcome!
