17th shards christmas 17th Shard's Christmas - General

[Channelknight Fadran]

Here's the thread, guys.

Knock yourselves out.

By the power of copy and pasting, I hereby clone the instructions to create new threads!

Currently, the PMs are for coming up with ideas. Depending on what we come up with, we'll likely kick people out or add people in (the Advent Calendar guys, for example, will likely only consist of a few people that have advent ideas to contribute). We're going to make some more threads as well so that this one doesn't become an anarchatic mess.

If you decide to make a thread for the 17th Shard's Christmas, then I must ask you to follow an easy format: simply give it the tag "17th Shard's Christmas" and highlight it. If you don't know how to highlight a tag, I have a short tutorial down in a spoiler box. Be sure to give the thread a few more tags based on what it is, including whether you're doing something daily, weekly, once over the month, etc.

Tutorial: [The spoiler boxes are on the whack, so... I'll see what I can do]

Maybe we should name the Thread 17th Shard's 2020 Christmas? 

[Experience he/him]

Ok, here's the list: 

• Chapter-by-chapter fanfic (Christmas themed and stuff)
• Christmas stories (A thread or a series of threads?)
• White Elephant thread (idk how this'd work)
• Secret Santa (I guess just share out works of art/writing/music/other stuff?)
• Writing prompts - Christmas Edition (Perhaps we could do some kind of advent calendar?)
• Sanderson Carols

I personally like the fanfic idea and the secret santa one. (Cremlings wearing santa hats?) I can't draw anything besides stick figures, so the secret santa thing might be... interesting. Maybe each person could do a piece of art and a piece of writing? Neither really would have to be good, just a sort of fun thing to do. 

I've made some phone/laptop Cosmere wallpapers in the past, so I might do some in Christmas colors and post those soon, too, if anyone's interested in that.

Advent calendar? We plan a different mini event every day for the month?

[Experience he/him]

For the advent calendar, if we get enough people, we could have one person do a surprise something each day. Also, what @00kla said.

Eh... nobody likes the number "2020" anymore.

Both, either... I don't care either way.

Fadran, you don't need to compliment yourself, although I'm sure Experience appreciates it  

Seriously though, that sounds fun. Then we could do mini versions of all these ideas we have

Just come up with 25 ideas and shrink them down for every day, but have larger versions of each for the entirety of the month?

[Experience he/him]

So, we have 25 things that happen for the whole month, and we focus on a specific one each day?

I was thinking just mini versions, not macro ones. But that could work

I was thinking we could do both (kinda)

[Mat he/him]

ALL the ideas. Do ALL OF THEM!!!

I do like the idea of the advent thing. Would it be like... assigning people to do each day? Cause like December starts in ~30 hours, give or take time zones...

[Experience he/him]

Are we saying do things like art and that kind of thing, or something else? @00kla?

[The Awakened Salad they/them]

I can help with the advent calendar! I may or may not have already started thinking of prompts

Nice! We'll probably make separate threads for some things, but for this we'll likely have a PM.

[Experience he/him]

I'm thinking we make a PM for the chapter by chapter story, then put them all in a thread? If we did that who would want to participate in it?

[Hen she/her]

Pretty please add me to the pms if you don't mind 

I LOVE all the things. Though the chapter by chapter makes me nervous cause Fadran and Aspire will outshine me in writing skills. This is so exciting!!!

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

That sounds fun, could I join the PM?

Also, the secret Santa with poetry, artwork, or other forms of literature sounds like a great idea!!

[Hen she/her]

I can assign the Secret Santa so everyone else can participate in it. Should we have anyone who wants to be a part of it PM me? Is that okay @Ookla the Channelknight?
