New Guardian Creators Comm

[naye]

 

 

Officially launching in June, we wanted to announce that the brush_and_lantern  is now welcoming anyone curious to stop by and subscribe.

 

With the 520 exchange coming up, May is already a month of creativity, excitement and a bounty of fanworks to look forward to.

 

Starting in June, the brush_and_lantern  will be posting monthly themes to keep that creative high going.

 

The comm will be a low-stress way to support others and be supported in making new fanworks. We want to keep you company while you create your long WIP, inspire you if you’re out of ideas, and pimp your work.

 

The structure is simple, with three main posts per month: a monthly theme announcement post, a mid-month party post, and a round-up post. No sign-ups required; you can join in for any part of the comm or just lurk!

 

We'll be back here when it's time for the launch, but in the meantime you can already leave a beta request or contact a mod about any questions the FAQ doesn't answer.

Ooooh what a great idea! Will definitely check out that space!

[naye]

We're looking forward to having you! ♥

The comm looks great! And kudos on the gorgeous banners!

[naye]

We were so lucky to get aka_vamp as our theme designer, and have unrelaxing make banners for us!

Oooh, this sounds fun, I'm in. XD Will you be linking the plot bunny farm over there? Because it seems like they would go together pretty well, at least in terms of inspiration.

[mekare]

Seconding this because I had the same thought when i read about the comm.

[naye]

I had the same thought - so yes, when we've gotten the hang of it there is definitely room for the Plot Bunny Farm on the comm.

[naye]

Yes - once the comm is up and running there is definitely going to be room for the Plot Bunny Farm there!

That sounds super cool! What a great idea, and so welcoming with all of the current information, graphics & theme, and answers to FAQs! ♥

[naye]

We've got some super talented people working on it! Glad you're looking forward to joining - it will be really fun to see what can come out of it.

YAY!!! Having been sick, I only just started my 520 fic, and I'm looking forward to being a part of this comm.

[naye]

Hope you're feeling better now! It's going to be fun to have you onboard when we get started.

Awesome! \o/

[naye]

I'm excited!

[riventhorn]

Yay! Exciting!

[naye]

I've never been part of this kind of creators' comm before, so I am really looking forward to the experience.

[yantantether]

I'm really excited to be here, and looking forward to things kicking off in June! ♥

[naye]

Thank you! We're all super excited too. <3

This is like the more inclusive, giant-sized version of my beloved drabble prompt comms back in LJ's heyday, and I am so excited. The banner's and theme are seriously beautiful, too!

[naye]

The drabble comms! And challenges! Yes that's how I got involved in this - by reminiscing about drabble chaos threads and how much fun it would be to have something like it for Guardian now that we're all here on Dreamwidth... I can't give enough credit to unrelaxing and aka_vamp for the graphics and design.

So looking forward to getting started, and excited to have you onboard!
