Post by: RemSaverem on April 19, 2006, 09:26:20 pm: basically, at the past 2 sakuracons and last kumoricon, i've run fan art contests in the room that also hosted fanfiction events. this year, at kc, i wanted to add another innovation: online voting in the fan art contest at the fan creation station!

i see this as a wonderful interim step towards my eventual goal: live streaming video of fanfic bedtime stories and fanfic theatre!

so darkerlight has generously offered to arrange that, much in the fashion that we just voted for the con mascot!

i don't know if there could also be links for submitted works of fiction? or if anyone turns in say a multimedia parody?

i have used a scanner onto my harddrive before, but i have never scanned anything to upload to a site or even send as an email attachment before, so i will definitely need some lessons!

darkerlight, you rule!
(and i still have to give you back your manga book)

Post by: Xaam on April 20, 2006, 02:26:14 pm: It's not technically fan art, but I would love to see an archive of all of the entries to the mascot contest! I know that personally, there were some that didn't win that I still loved. Would this type of thing be found somewhere else or would it go up on the fansite?

Post by: Darkerlight on April 20, 2006, 05:44:04 pm: This will be part of that site.

General Concept for kumoricon.info:
-to take some of the burden for upload off the main site
-to host flyers and monthly newsletter
-to store all kumori image, fan art, fan fict and newsletter archives
-to host live fan art\fan fict voting and uploading
-to host yearly mascot contest

I'm not sure if we will be able to pull it all off, but we're doing our best to try.

This might be a little much but maybe you could set it so that it rates the pictures on a scale of 1-10, and people could choose a value for each image. And then the average would be the picture's grade.... i dunno xD
I just think that would be a really cool idea, i mean fanart definately deserves some form of recognition!

Post by: Cherry on April 21, 2006, 11:31:28 am: It was partially not mine, because thats how they do it on gaia, or used too... havent been on there in like 1938102938 years.

But i liked that system, because that way its not like oh this one person wins, and you all loose! It's kind of more of a constructive environment, and so that everyone can have some feedback on their artwork as well as display it. I dunno maybe im just weird and like it that way xDD;
