Welcome to Gaia! ::

I leave that to members, unless there's a series or something that I really want to make a thread on. If someone wants to make a thread on a series, book, or author, they're entirely free to do so. But I won't do the work for people, especially when I either haven't read or I'm not particularly fond of a lot of the series that people here have read and remarked on.

I don't think you need to worry about the rate of posting in the guild. From what I've seen, the discussion moves along at a fairly reasonable pace. It's true that the entries don't come as fast & thick as they do in, say, a polling guild, but that is because they take more thought.

Well, you see, the Dadaists used to fold up pieces of paper and write random words on them at parties, etc. Then they'd unfold the paper and try to turn them into stories.

It is, in fact, kinda hard to do online. Round-robin is a similiar style, where everyone just adds a sentence or a paragraph to what has come before (very much like the Word Association thread.)

I have a question.

Would anyone be interested in a writing contest? I may or may not start one in June, but I'd like to know if anyone will participate. 'Cause if no one's going to do anything for it, I may as well not do it.

Isn't that a writing contest? Which I just mentioned in my last post?

Since every other contest I've had hasn't been very popular, even the super-easy recruitment contest, I don't think I'll run any contests for a while. Maybe I will during the summer, I'll see. It'll be this guild's first summer with more than a few members.

Meh, I've become less fond of sub-forums as each day goes by. Poeple completely ignore the one in another guild I'm in, the one here doesn't get all that much attention, and the ones in another guild I'm in it just confuses people. Well, me, at the very least. I'm only in one guild that manages to pull it off at all, and even that just barely squeaks by in my opinion. So no more sub-forums for a good long while in this guild, until I can think of a really good use for one.

I think I'll try a contest or two during the summer, and see how those do. I believe I've said this before, but the contests I've done before haven't worked out so well. Very few people participated. I'll have to think about it. If I decide to, I'll probably start a writing contest shortly after my school ends after next week.

No, I check the sub-forum at least once daily. More if I'm bored enough or multiple posts have been made between my visits to this guild. So there's no need for a sticky that I don't go in.

If I start any contest, it'll last at least a month, if not more. Particularly for a writing contest, since I'm going to have... erm... how to put this? Really high standards, particularly grammar-wise. <.< I'm a grammar freak and that will never change. So, yeah, at least a month, probably closer to a month and a half for a writing contest. Which no one will likely participate in anyway, because it's going be required to be really short. I haven't even thought through the rules yet.

n.n" Guilds are my obsession on Gaia. I like it when they're active. I did say that I would explain why I woulkd or wouldn't do suggestions. I'd want the same thing done for me, so I figure others feel the same way. Or maybe it's just that kindergarten and "Do to others what you want done to you" made a bit too much of an impression on me. Either way, I figure if people are kind enough to make a suggestion, I'd better explain why I decide not to use it. Common courtesy, yes?
