Everybody take a look! ... Except Lucathia.

No Lucathias allowed in this thread!

Lucathia! D: We told you to stay out, why are you looking? You'll spoil the surprise!

...

...

Now that that's out of the way...
Hey guys! Welcome to the secret project!

The goal? Create a successful "Thank you!" card (though it's not necessarily a card as it may be HUGE) with messages and images of thanks to Lucathia for her epic work with Colors as owner and head mod. She's done a ton and we're nearing the 24th release here at Colors! We've been alive and kicking for over two years!

The card itself will be made up of any and all contributions from all of you, the players, and will be combined in a single card in the end! You all can contribute typed messages in the font of your choice, handwritten messages that are scanned in and sent in, or artwork that you've created!

There'll be a big image in the center (undecided right now; theorized to be the Colors cast (mascots) hugging Lucathia or celebrating something) surrounded by all of the contributed images and messages. We'll need an artist volunteer or a team of artists to collaborate for this part!


SO! How can you contribute? Easy!

A) Submit a typed message, preferably in PDF format, in any font and of any length.
B) Submit a handwritten message, scanned in and sent as an image file. PNG images are preferred!
C) Submit artwork! Black and white, color, big, or small! Anything you'd like!

Any completed contributions should be sent to me at skyeacadia (at) gmail (dot) com with the subject being "COLORS TCG - Thank You Project!" so that I don't miss it!

EDIT: Thanks to Chuu's great suggestion! If we get enough art, we can quite possibly make a DECK of gratitude and thanks out of the artwork! This would be fantastic!
Even better is that I, or another deckmaker, could easily and stealthily put this together without Lucathia knowing about it until it's done!


I'd love to have all the contributions in by the end of the month, but this is flexible! This is a TEAM PROJECT by all of us, so if you have ideas don't hesitate to throw them out! Let's make this wonderful thing happen!
Edit: If you say you have art or a message to contribute, we will await your contribution! Just give a rough idea of when you'll be able to make it happen!

OMG You are wonderful Skie. I love this idea! I will have to try to think of something by the end of the month.

posting to say HI SKIE HOW ARE YOU

Oh man, tell me about that! I feel like I haven't been back here in years myself. I've missed Skie so much as well -- Colors is so different without your terribly obscure game rounds! When do you think you'll be back modding games and everything proper?

Also, is the deadline for this strictly the end of the month? if so, I don't know how much I can contribute as I have assignments due then... ):








what happened to that secret community?

...

whoa. *_*

Now I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't be here. I graduate at the end of the year, but I can't really afford to take things easy myself, this being my last year and all...

GO GO SKIE KICK THOSE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE ASS.

Oh, that is so good to hear!! I'll try to get my submission in as soon as I can. Just... not this month....... /sob

sdfhgdshg rofl if I were Lucathia I would just LOOK AND PRETEND I SAW NOTHING when confronted. XD <-- horrible At least the contents of the card will remain a surprise.

I would think if there's enough art to go around, I'd say make a "thank you" deck! To make a commemoration for Lucathia and what not.

Throw in some fishbones, and this becomes an awesome idea. :)

Next week on spring break, I'll try to find my tablet and muster up some art. ^^;

*attempts to unearth self from everything and... fails and sinks back in*

But look at you, Skie, being all awesome and everything! What a great great great idea, and I'm glad I decided to randomly check LJ after... way too long of not checking LJ. OTL You can (hopefully) count me in. Even though I'm going crazy trying to plan out units and lessons and teaching and grading and all things student teaching throws at me, I think I can find some time to write out a thank you message. In fact, just a couple weeks ago, I found a fishbone keychain that reminded me of Lucathia, and I sent it to her. T_T <3 Nothing is too much for her, so let's do this!

*writes a post-it to self before she forgets and goes back to grading*

oh my God DISU HOW ARE YOU I'VE MISSED YOU and good luck with teaching! It all sounds busy, but it also sounds like you've had some rewarding moments here and there. *_*
