Holiday Event 24-25 Interest Check & Survey (Part 2)
(Part 1 with the interest check poll can be found here)
Secondly, we're thinking of switching things up a bit instead of doing a gift exchange again this year. One idea that has come up is to do a Starshipping Advent Calendar! How it works: for every day from Dec 1st - Dec 24th, each participant will post an art/fic/edit/etc. dedicated to our very special bois 💕 We're planning to open this to multiple platforms, and you can choose a specific day you want to post, or have us assign you one. Some pros and cons we've considered for this are as follows:
Pros:
- Lower stress: participants don't have to worry about getting a match, or making something that somebody else will like
- Lower participation threshold: since there's a new posting every day, we're considering lowering the minimum requirements (clean sketch on unlined paper for art, 100 words for fic)
- Wider content type: this year, we'd really like to encourage Starshippers who do not draw or write to contribute to the festivities - hence HCs/merch pics/commentary being allowed
- Starshipping every day for the first 24 days of December - this one is a no-brainer XD
Cons:
- Requires more participants than previous years - though we're ready to fill in the unclaimed days with our own content.
And that's all for now. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts, and we can't wait to bring you another season of Starshipping holiday cheer!
