Contest Stuff
1) Forgot to say thumbnail size for the S&T Time Capsule contest (for those with imagery entries who opt to make their own thumbs) -- 128 by 128 pixels.
2) March 30 -- a Monday -- is probably going to be the Time Capsule entry period closing date. Will this be too soon for anyone? I'll reconsider if so, but probably by the end of the week the date will be set.
3) Swert and I have come up with something really cool for the future of the Expanded Universe. Look for more details and maybe some requests for advice soon (probably here on my blog). In addition to occasionally melding S&T contests with EU contests (like the Xian weapons ones) we will probably finally establish EU-only contests. These might also end up being more submission opportunities and less contests, not sure yet. Methinks yall will like it.
4) For the next S&T contest, I want to do another MU-related theme. After that, I'd like to leave the MU behind for the main series of S&T contests (maybe minor S&T/EU ones will return to the MU though) and do something with Bara Magna. So basically this is the last chance for a big Matoran Universe contest.
We've got two current ideas being bounced around and I wondered what youse guyses think. Note that at this point Greg has NOT approved these for officialdom, but I do want to ask for that for whichever we use.
- Memoirs of the Dead -- basically you would write short stories (or maybe even short epics) in serial or blog format (kinda like the Takanuva Blog or the Mutran Chronicles) from any official MU character who is currently dead. I'm leaning towards this one.
- Thousand Years Untold 2 -- same as last Thousand Years Untold contest, only for Mahri Nui and Karda Nui (and maybe a catch-all category for other MU locations). Idea there was to make an official-fitting short story that took place in 500 AGC (after Great Cataclysm, which is BTW what we have decided to use for the BRC Timeline) for Mata Nui, Metru Nui, and Voya Nui. So same idea, different locations. I do like this idea at lot too.
5) And don't forget about the current Bones Blog Blue MOCs contest!
