Admin Post: Community Check-In for October

[goss]

Tomorrow will be the last day of the month (Halloween!), and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you?

Did you take part in any fandom activities in October, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Also, if you participated in Inktober over the past couple weeks, how has the experience been?

Group projects, hmmm. The introduction pieces we did were fun. What if everyone who wanted to filled up a puzzle piece with anything they liked - maybe something meaningful to them or linked to their home/where they’re from, or anything at all, could be colours or a pattern. Then we could join them up at the end (I’d be happy to do that in photoshop). The number joining in wouldn’t matter, as the end result wouldn’t have to be symmetrical.

We could use a puzzle piece like this, for example.

Oohh, puzzle! I like that idea! And that the nature of this one keeps it open in subject matter and to a flexible number of participants.

Another variation could be more structured, with an outlined picture for people to fill however they want. But of course the division of puzzle pieces would depend on a specific number of members joining in. I remember fanartivation on LJ having these group Grid Projects, that were pretty fun to take part in.

I really like the idea of a collaborative project in general and the puzzle piece idea is neat!

Awesome! :)
