Giving this a little bump to see if anyone has any ideas. End of 2011/Beginning of 2012, these are the new threads that have been started:

2011:

Fan Art Rating System
The Non-Photoshop Users Thread: Going against the grain.
300 Word Story: It takes artistic talent to create words!
Post a picture + create!

2012:

Helping Fan Forum: Fan Forum Boards
The Ultimate Fan Art Challenge 2012: What's your goal?

Are there any suggestions to improve on the current threads we already have? If so, don't be shy, I would love to hear what you have to say. Click the individual thread for more information if you haven't visit it yet.

What threads would you like to see here? Is there something we're missing?

* * * *

Some suggestions I have:

ABCs of Fonts (we would link to a font via dafont.) This thread would also serve a purpose of finding more interesting fonts.
Rella and I have chatted about having single/couples FA threads (ex: Gerard Butler / Ron & Hermione), but really haven't made it "official". Would you start a thread via these categories?
Making the Monthly Hotseat Thread with more than 1 question. What are your thoughts? Or is one enough?
Tagging threads, do you think we would benefit from this function?

[Pickle-weasel!]

I love the idea of the ABC of Font thread, I'm a serious font lover. I can't get enough of them

And I think it's a good idea to do more with the hot seat thread. Adding more questions I think would be good, or if you wanted to keep it at one, maybe change it to 1 question a week or maybe every 2 weeks?

Sounds good to me. Good idea with ABC fonts and the Monthly Hotseat.

I don't have any thoughts on the tagging-thing... how does it work? XD

[Tina]

Thanks for the suggestions, Ria and Anne.

Anne: Here are all the tags, or most of them. There's a section for tags on every thread underneath "Bookmarks". I think it's kind of like tumblr, or something you would tag in LiveJournal.

I really like the ABC of fonts and it could give people new font ideas

[Sweet Embrace]

I think the fonts thread is a good idea, and give us a chance to promote our favourite fonts, and more questions for the hotseat thread because it can sometimes be quiet. And perhaps some of the questions could be more general so that non-fan art makers who come here to look at other people's art could contribute further.

Oh I see. I am familiar with tags.. I was just not sure how they worked here So it is kinda like tagcloud on Livejournal? Sounds like a good idea to start tagging.

I really liked the idea of "the ABC of fonts"

[Tina]

Thanks for the input, everyone. I greatly appreciate it.

I'll start the ABCs font soon, and work on the other projects ASAP, as well. Any other ideas? What about the single celebrity and couples threads? Any input on that?

[Tina]

Any ideas to bring to the table?

It's summer-time, so, that means some people are out of school for the time being. Would anyone like to see a contest? Maybe bring back 20in20, or LIMS? Or another challenge?

What's everyone's thoughts on having threads for these challenges?

Gifs
Edits
Typography

Rella and I thought that having a gifs challenge would be really fun. What about the other two?

Does anyone else have any ideas? They don't have to be challenges.

We're looking forward to hearing from you.

[Sweet Embrace]

Ooh a gifs challenge would be awesome! But could the topic be open ended so that it can be interpreted to how the artist wishes?

[Tina]

Theresa: It may have a theme such as "include purple" or whatever color. I don't think we'd would limit the subject as we know that not everyone has access to films/tv shows/whatever. So, you like the idea?

[Sweet Embrace]

I would try to join in, yes! It would help me make more gifs

[Tina]

Great. Let me create some guidelines and the likes. Hopefully we will have it up by next week.

[Sweet Embrace]

Hope we generate some good interest for this as there are a lot of talented fan art makers.
