snowflake challenge #7!

[aestivalis]

Challenge #7 is to design our own challenge! It kind of throws me back to the days when I used to be a mod at Colors TCG, an online trading card game. Every year for the game's anniversary we used to make a bunch of themed challenges and discussion posts for people to get to know one another and win some cards and whatnot. It was always a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed trying to come up with topics!

I think one of my favourite ones of those was (un)favourite characters, but that's probably because I'm a little bit contrary and enjoy finding the fun in negativity! I think there's plenty that can be enjoyable and constructive in chatting about characters you particularly dislike, seeing the patterns in what we respond to and different things like that, you know? So for something at least a little bit in that vein, I guess my challenge would be something like...

Tell us a GOOD thing about a character you dislike, and/or a BAD thing about a character you love.

Nothing like getting people chatting about things they're passionate for!

For a different idea, though, and something that perhaps involves a little bit more interaction or creativity, how about something like...

Tell us about one piece of fan content you know you will NEVER create. You like the idea, but for whatever reason you're just not the person to bring it to life. It could be wanting to make a whole rock-opera album about Digimon Adventure but having no musical skill, or wanting to read a novelisation of a favourite video game, or to create portraits for all the major characters in The Wheel Of Time or—anything! It can be something much less grandiose as well. Maybe you'd really love to see q story that explores what happened when Those Two Characters Met, but you don't feel like you could write it very well. Or you'd like to make a wallpaper edit for your phone background but don't have access to good editing software. Whatever it is, tell us about it!

I think there's an argument to be made that both of these faux-challenges of mine are too negative, FHJDSK. Oh well, hahaha! I guess that's why it's a winter challenge >:(!!!

Interesting challenges! That first challenge takes some deep digging and knowing the characters Really Well. I think it's a good exercise.
