Changes are coming...

Hey all!

I would like to thank everyone for their patience over the last couple of weeks and finally, after some careful discussion and planning, I have some exciting news to announce! Some of you may not have been aware, but there was a discussion over in the Communications forum about the future of Fan Art and the role it would take in the every changing culture of the boards. The thread can be found here.

I am pleased to announce that it has been decided that Fan Art will now be accepting all non-SW art! We will no longer be limiting ourselves to just the GFFA and since most of us already delve into other creative realms, it only seemed like a logical choice to open up that avenue to explore.

Alongside the non-SW artwork, all general discussion topics pertaining to any kind of art and techniques will be allowed. Have a topic you want to discuss? Feel free to start a thread - as long as it stays within the TOS.

If you have any questions concerning any of the changes, please feel free to ask! I will try to answer all of them to the best of my ability!

And to start us off, I want to ask something of all of you! Since we are opening up the forum to non-SW topics, I wanted to start a running list of fandoms/genres you would like to see represented. Each fandom or genre will have it's own designated thread to post the artwork. Every thread will have a running index and I will be seeking individuals to keep the index tidy, come up with challenges and other activities to keep things moving. If you are interested in one of these positions, please shoot me a PM.

So, let's have it - what fandoms would you like to see?

 

That's actually not a bad idea. I was thinking to maybe have a separate thread for the larger fandoms, but who dictates that a fandom is large enough? I do like this way better. Instead of separate threads, perhaps we can list the different fandoms in the indexes as the artwork comes in.

Thanks for the suggestion, XCell!

 

Sorry for waiting so long for a response, but yes, that is correct.


The threads are coming! I've just ran into a snag with the board feature that doesn't allow regular users to edit a post created or edited by a mod, so I can't make the threads myself. The long wait is also due to a lack of interest in people to run the different threads and the indexes. It would be ideal to have those people create the threads and manage them on their own. So, if you are interested in running a thread, please post up here or send me a PM!
