Task mode! XD
Quote by Anjhurin(Tasks for
organizers) ... create a thread in the art lounge... necessary for division 3, yet do we need to create one for each cat
(regular, colored), set a special theme etc ? And do we need one (or more) for the DSC restricted divisions
?
How about keeping it simple for the artists? While the organizers handle the complex tasks?
- one thread for all three Special Displays' divisions
- this thread to be posted as a DSC group announcement, since the Special Displays' still a DSC activity
- On the Invitations: I suggested that the organizers or anyone who has a love/flair for writing in the DSC try to
write/compose special invitations, to inspire artists to join up. Like the ugly w.a.r. 2006 invite, anjhu? XD Could
anyone write something special for the artists? Though this is gonna require a lot of effort and a lot of love for the
one/s writing the invite. Maybe flavoring the invites with a 'personal spice' might help, too. Instead of they
just receiving a bland, generic, spammy, so-so, "Hi, we invite you to..." invite, something that would make
them feel as if that particular piece of writing was written specifically with their art in mind, as if that invitation
was speaking to them, might really encourage them to participate? I would if I could, but I'm stuck on some
stuff... probably I can throw around some ideas and tweak the draft, but .... T_T ... I can't promise anything
right now.
- On Themes: Same as the previous Displays and echoing pegassuss' sentiments about not constraining artists to come
up with a specific artwork for a specific theme, why not keep the "theme-less" theme for the Special Displays?

Quote: Contacting the mods : yes, that is a requisite for all events, at
least if we want more acknowledgement. Do you think they should vote for the 3 divisions, or only some of them (to speak
the truth, so far not one of them has ever voted to a display... so maybe they'd be voters only for division
3).
But my point, anjhurin, was that this might be also a way of drawing in participation from the MT doujin mods,
reminiscent of that of what happened in the MT Character Classes long-name thingy? I'm positive that they'll
be willing to have a say on the whole event. I also thought this might also be a good opportunity for people in the DSC
to work closely with the doujinshi moderators, at least to help ease what I consider/feeling to be a certain
'gap' or 'distancing'... since doujinshi is already underappreciated in MT, as most people would
claim, I think the doujin groups should at least try to work with the mods on matters related to doujin; and by inviting
them to the Special Display, it could be a way to foster that?
Quote: Btw, speaking of division 3 : what kind of vote system ? Judges, or
the same as usual ?
For the Doujinshi Moderator votes? I thought that the organizers suggest that the mods try to pick their fav doujinshi
from the whole lot. I guess we'll leave it up to them to pick as many doujinshi they really like... but what does
anyone else think? ^^^
Also, if the "Mod Choice" proposal is a-ok, maybe I should REALLY finish that "love letter" soon,
taking into account that the DSC plans to invite them to the Special Event thing. ^_~
