Board Thread:Wiki Events/@comment-4050367-20140629224322

Alas, Fanon Con is done. Though one wiki event is done, many more will come. International Week is in development, and the OmniVerse Awards will join us in August. Summer has only just begun, so let us not be sad, but let us be happy. Happy that Summer is here.

Thank you Ulti and Ahmad, who were the hosts of this Fanon Con.


 * Part 1 of Fanon Con (the entries) is here.
 * Part 2 of Fanon Con (the Writing Contest) is here.

Now as part of the recent Fanon Con, we had a new format. The following is the format as detailed by Paper:

The format, detailed below, is designed to increase interaction between users who submit entries and the users who read them.


 * 1) Submissions will still be posted at Special:MyPage/Fanon Con, and writing contest entries will still be posted at Special:MyPage/Fanon Con Writing Contest.
 * 2) Starting now (and in future cons when sign up begins), users will sign up for time slots on chat (and in future cons possibly an alternate chat if necessary), in which they will have about 15 minutes to present their entry.
 * 3) *When presenting, keep in mind that you don't want to simply read your entry word for word. You want to highlight the details and let people know about any important parts of your submission such as polls or sneak peaks.
 * 4) *You should also leave about 5 minutes for questions.
 * 5) The schedule will be filled out on a first by first basis, with about one user each hour, but that user may present any time within the hour.
 * 6) On the Friday of Fanon Con, the main blog will be posted, with the host introduction and the schedule only.
 * 7) On Saturday, the writing contest will be posted in a separate blog.
 * 8) On Sunday, after all the submissions end, the original blog will be updated with the written submissions, the winner poll, and the closing remarks from the host.

How do you like the new format? It's perfect and doesn't need fixing It's good, but it needs some minor changes It's okay, and needs major changes in order to work It's terrible and we should go back to the old format

What do you think about presentation scheduling? The time slots worked perfectly The time slots should be more condensed The time slots should be more spread out

What do you think about presentation length? The length of each presentation is good Presentations were too short Presentations were too long

What do you think the timing of the writing contest? Saturday night works fine It should be... ...Saturday morning ...Saturday afternoon ...Sunday morning ...Sunday afternoon

What do you think about a possible alien creation contest for future Fanon Cons? Great idea Good idea, but it should have restrictions like the writing contest Bad idea

Do you think BTFF chat should be used for future cons? Yes No, use an alternate chat (we can decide which one later)

Leave any other remaining thoughts below.
