Thread "Brainstorming for Used Books Anniversary (possible reader/fan participation?)" in forum "Networking & Community Projects*"

I'll be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Used Books on February 23, 2017. Currently brainstorming ideas for how to celebrate because two months during holidays isn't much time at all.

I was considering a Q&A (for me or characters) or taking on a fan script of a couple pages, but that requires reader/follower/fan participation, and I can't see that happening. ;^_^

I could make a new cast picture and slap it on some merch for fun. That would take the most time and effort on my end. I'd also need to figure out which characters to include (or to make multiple pictures featuring different sets).

My other thought was to showcase the guest art I've received over the years. It's pretty heavily weighted on the early years (a "golden age" at DrunkDuck), though. However, it would give me flexibility for reader/fan participation if anyone actually wants to contribute to anniversary celebration.

Any thoughts?

Just a suggestion but you could go back and give the first couple pages a redo…. its always fun to see natural art evolution.

Interesting idea. I like that.

or have the characters do a retrospective of how it began, perhaps redraw the first story from a new perspective.

Pushing forward at a page a week (with complete investment – I art slowly and badly), I can't see managing even a mini-comic. But I could do a page or two.

I've done cast drawings for past anniversaries, which are fun but tricky. I once did one with over 20 characters.
