I'll take whatever day gets thrown at me, as long as it's a weekend because I'm a working Raptor now.*Goes to read Zehvor's comedies...*

[25K Now!]

Still claiming the 9th of October. Because what day is better than my birthday?

[Phovos]

I just spent 3 minutes staring at the Rahaga underneath It's A Gundam!'s avatar...I'd write a comedy about Rahaga but I barely know them.

But it's running from the 16th to the 23rd <=O-ibrow

[Phovos]

Maybe we can have a 'Surprise Sneak Peek Comedy Expo Thingy' day on the 9th?

[25K Now!]

NUUU. No birthday celebration for moi then.Unless we go with Phovos' idea.

Well...we'd need a decent reason to extend the CFE by a week.If there was something else we could do with comedies for a week...I'd be all for extending the time period.-MT

[Voltex]

No, one week will definitely be enough. And we're gonna need the extra prep time anyway.Besides, I'd like to have a month for the stuff I'm going to show, seeing as I have two-three all new comedies to announce and also sneak peeks towards upcoming chapters of comedies such as How to Be a Hero.-ibrow

Well, you wouldn't be demoing anything during those days. We'd have to find some pre-expo party stuff to do...And I can't really think of anything that would be even remotely entertaining for that long.(Update the BZP Comedy Wiki Week? )-MT

[Phovos]

Oh, wiki stuff. I could do stuff like that. Although what do you write about comedies that you can't just read?I suppose we could arrange them by the characters that appear in them.So, what could I do for my day thingy? Well, I do have a great idea for a Red VS Blue story. And I do very much want to get The Toa Nuva's Ramblings going again, although it will never be as amusing as the Bohrok-Kal's Ramblings. I might do some one-offs, such as a Cake-related Nuhvok-Kal+Medic love story thing based on my short story.

[Voltex]

A teaser or prologue for your RvB comedy would probably work, perhaps some trivia about your comedies, and maybe a preview for one or two other chapters releasing after the expo?-ibrow

[Phovos]

Prologues are always fun, but don't get me started about trivia about my comedies. I'll never shut up.Speaking of which, what is the format of this expo going to be? Podcast? Text? Videos? What?

[Voltex]

Text. We'd be preparing for years if it was video or podcast. =P-ibrow

[Phovos]

Ah, text I can do. Text I can do lots of.Might get me some love for my Nidhiki and Company story and my Tahnok and Turahk story.

[MT Zehvor]

I've actually been preparing for this expo my entire life.It was what I was born to do....Anyways, what I've been thinking for the new first week of this Expo is, after Gundam does his stuff on his birthday, and we all sing him a song, and give him awesome gif presents...October 10-14 would be filled with random comedy fan polls, perhaps giving us a preliminary idea of how the "Comedy of the Year" vote will go in December. Except none of the polls will really deal with which is the best comedy, so there will still be some suspense when the actual vote comes around.So perhaps a "Corniest Villain" Award.Or "Most Inventive Chapter name."Or "Best Character named Omega Turtle."Something like that.And then on the last day, there will be a "pre-expo-hype vote," where, if you announce a specific comedy you plan to demo ahead of time, it will be placed on a voting chart, and people can choose which ones they are looking forward to the most.-MT Edited September 25, 2012 by Toa Zehvor MT

[Voltex]

Not sure about the best comedy polls, but I think if we were to have the hype vote occuring all the first week, that'd be cool. We could ask Black Six to put the hype vote on the front page (I'm thinking Voting Booth - I'll make the topic if we do it since I'm premier). And then we could also ask him to make a news report on the Expo itself., perhaps each day or just at the beginning and end.-ibrow

[ShadowBionics]

So... can I join or not? I understand if you don't want/need me to join, but I'm just curious since my previous question went unanswered.I have some teasers lined up for stuff I could potentially put up here in the near future. Since I'm no longer sure who has what day, I'll take whichever day is left. I understand if you don't want/need me in there, but I just want to make sure. I'll understand if you say no. My writing isn't what it once was in my 2006-2010 days.

[Phovos]

I'm sure you can join, matey. The more the merrier.Okay, list of possible votes:Best HeroBest VillainMost Random ComedyComedy with the stupidest title*Best argument in a comedyMost inventive name of a chapterMost interesting idea for a comedy* I nominate myself... I mean, Yet Another Comedy I Will Probably Forget About? That's almost as bas as Reading Over My Shoulder Is Dangerous To My Health.

[Voltex]

Join in, the more the merrier! Also MT, I was wondering if we could shift the thing so that it ends on Sunday the 28th, but is still 7 days long. It would work out better for me.-ibrow

[25K Now!]

Of course, we can advertise the CCC there as well.

[Phovos]

Or we can make it 8 days long or whatever.I need to get people reading my comedies.

[MT Zehvor]

So... can I join or not? I understand if you don't want/need me to join, but I'm just curious since my previous question went unanswered.

On the contrary, good friend.We'd love for you to join.

Well...if we do that, we'll basically end up ensuring that Gundam doesn't get his birthday party.It's fine with me so long as he doesn't really want his cake.-MT

[MetaStriker]

I'll take any day as well. TAoT should be done by Nov. anyway, so I can advertise the sequel to it.~MN~

[MT Zehvor]

Well, I'll get a tentative schedule up with who's on which date when I actually get how long this thing's gonna be figured out. -MT

[Voltex]

Well, I really want to be on the final day, but I'm hoping to release information/teaser/whatnot once every two hours within a certain time frame, which will only work on a weekend.I have several things I need to type up for this, hence why I'm not trying to push it a week ahead. >.>-ibrow

Let me clear something up: If we were to place the opening day on October 9, we would be expanding the entire expo, not simply moving it.-MT

[Rarity]

So... Can I join the expo?

[MetaStriker]

When is my date? As I said, I don't really care what it is, but it would be good to know so that I can plan for it .~MN~

[Voltex]

So... Can I join the expo?

Anyone and everyone can join it, so long as you'll have something to show there. =P@MN: Pick a date, any date! We'll mark you down for it. The only one I know isn't taken is the 23rd, and I guess probably one of the two weekend days as well.-ibrow

[MT Zehvor]

Indeed. For the moment, try to only pick dates between October 16 and 25th, as those are the only dates that I'm completely sure of yet(we may or may not have another week later).-MT

[Rarity]

Cool. I'll join then!Can I pick the 16th?

[MT Zehvor]

Cool. I'll join then!Can I pick the 16th?

Should be fine.So far, our lineup appears like this:October 16: RarityOctober 17: PhovosOctober 18: Meta NuvaOctober 19: Shadow BionicsOctober 20: TNTOSOctober 21: GundamOctober 22: FelixOctober 23: MTOctober 24: Mr. ChickenOctober 25: iBrowKeep in mind none of these dates are set in stone yet. There is plenty of room for changes between here and the Expo's start.Let me know if your assigned date(if you didn't request one specifically) doesn't work out for you, and we'll change it.-MT Edited October 4, 2012 by Toa Zehvor MT

[25K Now!]

Put me down for October 21, because that's basically the only day I have.

[Phovos]

I should be able to do Wednesday. I just hope that work doesn't suddenly explode.

[TNTOS]

I'll take the 20th, although any day will do, really.-TNTOS-

[Scanty Demon]

I would like to participate in the comedy expo, sign me up for 22nd please.

[bioniclehero01]

Hmm... This looks interesting, and with my new comedy coming up soon I would definitely be interested in some of the expos.So yeah, go ahead and sign me up. I probably won't be able to get that involved until after the first of the year 'cuz I have a lot currently going on, but nonetheless I'm still very interested.P.S. TO THE NUIMOBILE!!

[Phovos]

Yay, interested people! The Comedy Section will breathe once more!

[MT Zehvor]

'Tis fine, Mr. Chicken. So long as you have some stuff to preview or simply hype up, you're fine.(or I suppose you could spend the entire day dancing like Mesonak did that one time)At any rate, list is updated in the above post. We also have confirmation for our own topic now, so I'll get that up on October the 8th and do some preview stuff before the actual expo kicks off.-MT

[Voltex]

Oh oh oh I would like to write a preview oneshot to post on the day the topic is made to introduce the whole thing.With all of the preview people persons as characters.-ibrow
