Interest check

[goodbyebird]

Hey all,
We're in April already! I figured I'd check to see if there's interest in running 3 Weeks For Dreamwidth again this year, and also ask if anybody would like to host some activities in their journals or communities.

Also a good time to start thinking of posts you might want to make, for your hobbies or fandoms or those book reviews you've been meaning to make. After all, the whole point of the fest is to get more activity on DW.

Feel free to sound off and idea storm in the comments :)

I always enjoy this event so I hope it's back again this year!

What would hosting an activity require? I might do a friending meme; I've always wanted to host a friending meme. 🤔

That sounds great. Are you thinking a general one for the event, or one more specific to a type of interest/fandom?

[goodbyebird]

My current ideas:
- tarot draw post at my journal (I've done tarot prompts before, but it seems everyone assumed it was a reading anyways heh)
- ABCs of Comics at my journal. Basically a rec list of stuff to read. Would be really cool to get a bunch of "ABCs of..." lists going *gentlest of nudges*
- ooh maybe a One X-Files Episode A Day Reaction Post (I'll be starting s2, and mostly I'll just be saying Scully is pretty and smart and Mulder is looking at her The Right Way, with possible images to prove just how pretty and Smart and Right).

- Community rec post for a song each that's been bringing joy this year.
- Community post with DW community recs.
- I'm sure various questionnaires and memes will be making the rounds again.
- Maybe bring back the scavenger hunt.
- Project Hail Mary icon battle 👎 at iconbattles

Yasss! I love your tarot prompts and I am intrigued by the ABC idea... wonder how I could apply it to my journal. Thank you.

That song rec idea should be fun!

[goodbyebird]

I think so too. Actually considering doing a second one, for protest/rage songs. I guess we need both.

[muccamukk]

I'm def interested in the tarot prompts.

[goodbyebird]

Seems I underestimated the interest there. I may run both then :)

Hoping to run a rec fest in bnha_fans, like we did in the comm a couple of times before :)

[fiachairecht]

Yesssss I'll run the gen horror prompt fest at my journal again if it does :3

I'd love for this event to come back! :D I can definitely scheme up something for any of my tokusatsu comms.

Hmm; three weeks is pretty much exactly enough time for a one-a-day Minimum Track mood theme, with three days off. I could make a calendar for that! And a bonus Medium Track calendar, for the extra hard core.

I'm also planning to make some Dreamsheep icons in various colors.

I might post something at kittens_and_spitefic?

[goodbyebird]

ooh maybe this is what finally gets me going on making one.

[yourlibrarian]

Yay about the sheep offer!

[scifirenegade]

If it runs again, I'll be doing a ficathon on the various communities I'm running. All three of them o_o

It'll be fun!

[tally]

I would love if it ran again! I keep seeing old 3W4D posts around and it looked like a lot of fun.

I would love to participate, though I have no idea what to do for it. Do you just do anything? I'm sure I could come up with something! I also run rimworld and youtuberecs so maybe I could set something up in those places.

[toothpastepancake]

I LOVE THIS EVENT! I wasn't able to do much last year so I want to participate again if I can! :D I have been wanting to run a prompt fest again lately so I can do one in honor of this. Might think of something for my comms - ficto, like a friending meme or a questionairre or something, and maybe a daily article/resource reading list for datahoarders?

[alchemicink]

Yes!! Actually I started making a list last week of my ideas for posts to make in various comms I'm a member of. Hoping to spur some conversations and such 😊

I still haven't decided what I'll do specifically on my own journal yet. But I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else will be doing

[yourlibrarian]

I'll run the question by the tv_talk crowd and see if anyone has any suggestions.

I'll also be glad to host the Points Donation drive again.
