COMMUNITY PROJECT

I was thinking what about some sort of community project thingamabob where people can all collab on certain projected project until it is completed. Something DBZ related, and creative maybe. A fanmovie/animated opener/fangame or something. There's plenty of raw talent around here, so why not combine it into something super awesome of sorts? I'd be happy to coordinate, since I am an experienced President of game development team, and know how to organize things. So far everything is about contests and competing. I would really like something where we can work together.

Example:
First project would be an animated short opener that advertises the forums itself. Around 2-3 minutes length, with a song created and performed specifically for the video, and custom animations. Writers would help plan the video scene by scene, artists would storyboard and animate, and musicians would help on the musickal front. Those with no place to fit would help by giving ideas and/or suggestions to improve upon.

Just things like that. Maybe have a core team that helps with the section in general. We could even do two projects at once, if the current projects are small in scale and too many wish to help.

Anyway, just a suggestion.

---

OTHER THINGS

I also notice some forum sections here are VERY messy/disorganized. The DB Fanworks section really needs cleaning up, and possibly a merge with the new contest fic ideas, specifically. Its just a pain to navigate. :\ I have to keep asking people where exactly their fic is I want to read, etc. Also, a list of all fanworks and links to the topics would be superb. I could go ahead and do that if you wanted. It'd make it easier for me and fanwork visitors for sure.

Also some of these pinned topics are old and useless... I really REALLY wish we could have AMV contests start back up, too (hint hint). But if not, those topics need to be taken down, because I read halfway into before realizing its dead to begin with. It is confusing.

Some section rules are very sloppy done, too. I suggest a rewrite of some of them to make them more professional and easy to follow, without being ridiculous.

Just willing to help. Hope my suggestions are taken into consideration!

Thanks. <3

I've been meaning to get round to rewriting the pinned topics for a while in sections, I already updated the FAQ in this section because it was terrible lol.

I think that all sounds gloriously awesomerific! maybe we could start a petition on the game/group project to see who would want to help :)

They aren't stupid suggestions, they're good. The only thing is that you're suggesting a lot of stuff. The pinned topics do need going over but there might also be things in them that need debating or replacing in parliament (i.e. rules for certain parts of the forum) which means it might take slightly longer than you'd expect.

Your community project idea thing is a great idea. I really like it, we just need to see if we have people capable of doing those skills and then organising it all. I know we have a lot of graphic artists and musicians here, but Im not sure about animators. And if we wanted singing or voice acting in one of these projects we'd need to ask around for that too.

And again, the AMV contests have stopped because nobody was making any. I havent heard anybody making an AMV for a while now but im sure you'd be allowed to restart it if you can get sufficient support to bring it back. AHDS suggested her Fanfic contest idea to parliament and had to organise it herself, so the same rules may apply to this.

But seriously, these ideas are great, its good to see new members contributing to the forum. :)

I like the idea, it'd be good to see something that gets people from all parts of the community involved. You should stop beating yourself up Garlic and saying your ideas are bad, most of the things you show us or suggest are great. :)

I really like this idea. It's not stupid at all. If anyone's ideas are stupid around here, they would be my own. *nods*

Well, I see your thinking, and yes, it's quite organized. However, I see a little problem in actually getting members to join this little project. I know some might not feel like, might not have the time, or some just don't want to do it. Whatever the case, that little thing bugs me.

I say you set up a topic requesting a certain number of animators, writers, artists..the works. So no particular job is overflown with members. If you can do that, then, the paranoid side of me can finally shut up. :D

*nods*

I'm all aboard with this idea. If you don't mind...I could do some writing...;D
It'll put one of the few skills I have to the test. :3
Try this, you might like it.

URGH, why are you two beating yourselves up?? You're both cool new members that contribute to the community a lot, pick up your self-esteem! :D

But anyway, to veriify, I like this idea, although I think maybe it should go through the member suggestion forum in Parliament, or I'm just saying that because Parliament is dying with the Mod Factor over.

I'm...cool? *sniffle*

Anyway, yeah, I agree with Sousen. With something this large, it really should be put in Parliament.

It could use a little more activity. :o

From the looks of things we might have to make some kind of Motivational/Raising Self-Esteem of new members topic or something and add that to the list. We can't go around with people putting their ideas down all the time lol.

Parliament is doing it's job in accordance as to what is necessary. Matters such as this are additional (aside from the sorting out of the rules thing, we have em but they need checking), so yes it can be discussed in parliament, but parliament isn't dead, there just hasn't been anything brand spanking new since the Mod voting. At least these items will constitute a wider range of topics for parliament to discuss, so well done GarlicJr for coming forward with the suggestions.

Well I both animate and sing (I can only voice act seductress villains, because my voice doesn't fit many other types of characters). I didn't know if we had anymore animators here or not. My friends, a few of them, also animate as well, and another few of them sing. Most of my friends are of the creativity type, because we just all bunch together like that.

So I suppose if everyone is okay with things, they can discuss it or whatever.

I think my ideas are fail mostly because they are a bit....radical, and include people I don't even know want to be included. XD; Because I so had Temphis and BattleMetal in mind when writing up this idea since I talk to them one on one via PM/IM more than other members here and know they have orgasmic writing/art ability. I just like to ask around. I had already decided to collab with BattleMetal on a fic of some sort before, but then I was thinking, why not include others? So there you go, a weird idea popped into my head.
