I will be honest with you, I didn't know if I should make a new thread. There was a Pins Suggestions thread, but it didn't seem to be the right thread, so I hope it's okay I made a new one. XD I'm naturally helpful, so when I found this subsection, I kind of wanted to help, too. Then the pins came out and people loved them. I do, really (even if I have only one. It's really nice. ^^). But some also want one, and they (I will be honest, I'm sorry) make a fuss about it. I actually want more, too. I understand a bit what the mods (hello. ^^) are going through, with all the site management and spammers that are here; I really do. It's just that some people could use a bit of a fair chance, and I wanted to contribute. Which brings me to explain the title. Oh yes, 100 Themes Challenge. It's been a thing in Deviantart, and a fairly recent thing in Fanfiction, so why not here, too? KH-V's kind of both, only with a wider array of options. AMVs, Pictures, Paintings, Sketches, Fanfiction, Fiction stories in general, heck, maybe if you were crazy enough, a whole RP. I was thinking that the Challenge would all in all last a year, 6 months for the Challenge itself, and the next 6 as a sort of resting-thinking time for the next one. It seems a bit fair to me (but how would I know? XD). IMO, it's fair for the members that aren't really, well, participative due to some things (RL problems, school...). So I will organize in bullet-ish form the advantages I see: -A bigger chance for people to get a pin. -A good way to showcase talents without being so limited. -Improves confidence. v.v -Gives inspiration. -A great pastime, really. -For all you know, you could discover a few new things about yourself (that really does happen). -It's fun! ^^ Of course, there are disadvantages: -Copyright infringement (possibly...>.>"). -Too much flaming (someone could hate another person and this other person takes the challenge, etc, etc.) -Too many stuff that the server might not handle it? -Or it could lag computers, such as mine, honestly. (Internet's slow. TT.TT) -Too much work for the mods. :c On a side note, the lists don't have to be totally different. They can be a bit the same, or totally the same. They could have fun little rules ("All need to be KH related", "must be a doodle/drabble done in 10-15 minutes only, excluding time used to think of a proper story/picture", or even "must have blue as a dominant color"). Anything, really. How the pin is achieved is simple. Complete it. I just wanted to think of a way to give others a chance. Besides, it's fun. ^^ I'm actually doing one right now, but it's for Fanfiction. It's fun. Oh, so fun. Please consider this. That's enough for me. XD EDIT: Links! What is a 100 Themes Challenge? A 100 Themes Challenge in DeviantArt The 100 Themes Challenge in Fanfiction. "The" because it seems to be the only one. XD" A Completed One in Fanfiction Forgive me, the completed ones in DA are a bit messy. ^^;
I'm not sure I'm familiar with these on either dA or FF.net, so can you elaborate a little more on what this is? Is it basically like, someone assigns 100 different themes, and you have to complete a story/piece of art/AMV/whatever else for each?
I also want to know (any chance to get a pin lol I one of the ones making a fuss) but the titel doesn't tell me what it acctually is. Is it a picture show or something?
Ah...sorry. ^^ Well, you basically just list 100 themes of any kind (e.g "Say Please", "Black", "Moon", etc). You set your own rules (e.g "Finish under 10 minutes"), and that's basically it. It's up to the guy/girl to think of what to do. ^^; Sounding bad?
What you're suggesting here is an event, with a chance of getting a pin. While I honestly don't see anything wrong with it, however it'd be a really extensive event. And I mean really extensive that would focus all the attention of the site into this single task for six months. I think it's too big of an event. A very extensive and time-consuming one.
Ah, now I get it. Not sure if it'll be accepted as pins, but it'd be worthwhile attempting to get it running, even without that. It looks interesting enough. EDIT: I don't get what you meant about my post time. Did I post at 9:11 for you?
I always wanted to do one like these (just like the music shuffle challenge) and it would be fun to do one on the forums...
Hm, that is true. EDIT: Or it could just be plain open. Have people look at it, do their thing, then have them request it when they're done? (<-- lame attempt? Possibly) Ha, I don't really mind if it doesn't happen. XD;; Just, you know, trying. You know what's funny? I think you did. You did.
I don't think there really needs to be a time limit upon it, I've never done one personally, but from what I've seen/heard they definitely can take a lot of time. Other than that, would the challenge have to be focused on Kingdom Hearts (with the possibility of related things like Final Fantasy or Disney), or would it just be anything?
I don't think it'd be involved with the Pins, since we're already working on making more available for art/literature. I'm kind of iffy on this to be honest, I've participated in a 100 Theme Challenge and it's extremely time consuming. On dA, you don't necessarily need to sign up, it's voluntary and you can mix and match the prompts to what you want or what's best for you to do. So not only would we need to come up with several lists of 100 prompts, we'd probably have to have some kind of way to display them, which atm we don't because we don't have a gallery, and I'm not sure how putting that together in a thread would work. Plus we'd have to make sure people aren't ripping art/stories/AMVs and that takes a hell of a long time as well. In theory it's a good idea, but I personally can't see it working on KHV right now. EDIT: Wtf, why did this lock .-.
*shrugs* I'm really just proposing this as a way for people to get Pins, not really an event or anything. But if you're asking how I would make it, then no, it won't really need to be focused, because to be honest, constant KH is tiring~ And, not necessarily. There's some that can be finished in less than a week or so. ^^; I was really expecting that. I would get really pissed at constant work, too (only mine is in different language. wtf). No harm in trying. :3
Wait this tread magicaly locked? Thats really weird because the same thing happened to the charilie Bone forum im on.. Maybe Vbulltin has something to do with it?
