Hello. This is my first post directed to the Community Committee for Winter Fanon Con 2015. In previous Fanon Cons, our schedules have been chaotic and our staff limited by what we could do. Now, with a new administration and with volunteers who want to help the wiki, we have a chance to make things more smooth this time around.

Yopo, Jack, Monitor, CaT, Rob, Mig, Toon, Alan, Bry, and Street, you have all volunteered to join the Community Committee, and I call upon you know to figure out who is going to do what.

Topic #1: Sign Up for Schedule

This is our schedule for the final Fanon Con of 2015.


 * Day 1 (Sunday)-Forum Story
 * I need 2 people to manage this
 * Day 2 (Monday)-Normal Writing Contest
 * I need 2 people to manage this/make the blog
 * Day 3 (Tuesday)-Creative Writing Contest
 * I need 2 people to manage this/make the blog
 * Day 4 (Wednesday)-Ultimate Fanon Con Contest Winner/Contest Winners?
 * I need at least 1 person from Day 2 and 1 person from Day 3 to manage this/make the blog.
 * Day 5 (Thursday)-Art Competition
 * I need 2 people to manage this/make the blog.
 * Day 6 (Friday)- NEW: Character Competition Contest
 * I need 2 people to manage this/make the blog.
 * Day 7 (Saturday)- Part 1 & 2 Blogs Are Posted With Entries
 * I need 4 (or more) people to manage this/make the blogs.

Normally we would have Part 1 on Friday, but as Friday is Christmas, it will be moved to Saturday instead. I have a few tips to keep in mind for sign ups:


 * Know your schedule. If you don't contribute and help Fanon Con, you're disappointing the Community and you're only hurting your friends. (For example, if you don't celebrate Christmas, then you should probably help out with the Character Competition Contest since that's on Christmas day. If you're celebrating Christmas, that might not be the one for you).
 * Do something that you're not signed up for if it's a contest or competition. Although this isn't a requirement, it prevents bias and wanting to make yours the winner. I doubt any of you would do that though.
 * Do something you have some experience in.

Now as for the number of people per day, each day (with the exception of Saturday) has a minimum of 2 people per day. One user will be the main user in charge with the second person as back-up, or if both people desire, they can team-up together as the main users. For the main Fanon Con, I need four users, 2 people per part. Admins, you will be needed to potentially run and assist other users with Fanon Con. Chatmods, I'm asking that you make sure everyone is respectful during Fanon Con Chat Presentations.

I need all signups by Wednesday, December 16th. Writing Contest entries will be due on the 19th, Art and Character will be due on the 20th, and main Fanon Con entries due on the 22nd. This will give managers at least 1 day (if not more) to put together the blogs on a seperate wiki (I recommend Justice League Fan Fiction Wiki, which I will gradly promote people for on there if needed; or a different wiki). Blogs need to be done by Noon EDT the day of the event.

Topic 2: Character Competition

Against my better judgement, and more due to the fact that we're in the middle of a holiday time period, we're including a new competition: Character Competition. The following has been provided to attempt to explain these new event, which was created by Jack.

.........................................................................................................................................

Fanon Con Character Competition is the newest addition to Fanon Con. The competition is for a user to explore the potential of one character, must be their own creation, in depth. Their hopes, fears, dreams, motivation, appearence, and whatever else a user deems necessary. However, more in depth probably highers a chance of winning. Characters can be any sexuality, any race, any gender, could be from any series, however, it must be a users own work.

Example Passage (actually entry would by more indepth than this):

''Gwen Tennyson is a girl with slightly wan skin, high cheekbones, straight amber colored hair and green eyes. Her stone cold demeanor reflects the trauma she has faced in the past. Haunted by the acts of what was suppose to be heroism but turned into somethin else entirely, Gwen was forced away from those she loved. Fearing her hometown and feared by it, Gwen now hopes to start over with a brighter future. Her motivation was that of her ex-lover, Kevin Levin, who she thought of everyday post-humously. Gwen blamed herself for the death of the only man she truly loved and so this only contributed to harden her into a hollow shell of her former self. ''

Any questions about this should go to The Awesome Jack.

Restructing the Writing Contests

So I would like to suggest an idea. Previously, we have had members of the debunked Fanon Con Committee and former Community Committee vote on the Normal and Creative Writing Contests, as well as decide who is the ultimate winner. Now, I suggest that instead we do something else. Perhaps instead, we should just show the submissions for each category and allow the community to vote over a 24-hour period. Then, the following day we reveal the winners of Normal and Creative, and use that blog to ask readers to vote which one was the best. The winner would be revealed on the Art Competition blog.

Thoughts?

That's pretty much it.
