Let's get this show on the road! Ideas, Prizes...

Hi everyone,

So as you may or may not know by now - Krissi001 has handed the group over to me. She's done an amazing job of running it so far, so please go and send her some love! <3

I wanted to give everyone a few days to get settled and for the previous journal to let as many people know about the new management as possible to prevent confusion, and now I'm just going to give you all a heads up on some ideas I have for the group that I'd love to get some input on!

Some of the ideas I have are as follows:

- Monthly Collab themes - Winners get a 1 month sub and a random entry gets 50 points
- More experienced Emoticonists teaming up with newer ones to help give each other experience in weaker areas
- A chat event 2 times a month (there will be a test run) to encourage people to partner up with new Emoticonists and discuss theme ideas
- Collaborations with non-Emoticonists who want to give it a go, this could help expand the Emote community and teach more people about how amazing our gallery is!
- A Collab-request journal for people wanting to work with someone on an Emote, but on a less competitive level


What does everyone think of these ideas? Do you like/hate them, think they could be developed/are too fidgety? Also please let me know if you have any ideas that you want to add?

I'm also taking suggestions for the first contest theme - I'll select a random theme from the comments and the winner gets 10 points!

Also - If you're interested in taking part please leave a comment in this blog saying so, just so we can start making a list and get an idea of numbers, and so we can get going!
