Board Update
by Ubiquitous
The board has been busy this year, particularly in the lead up to SMACKDOWN. Here are some of the highlights.
In Tortall, things got philosophical with threads such as ‘Surprising yourself’, which discussed unexpected fangirling. Then there was the incredibly deep Jon – The Big Question thread, which asked an all-important question – did Jonathan of Conte look hotter with a beard or not – and was soon followed by Roald II – The Big Question. We also looked at our Favourite Couples in Tortall and the idea of Fief Mottoes before the boards got inundated with SMACKDOWN teams trying to recruit followers by discussing how awesome their teams were.
Emelan was a busy bee in the new year. We looked at the similarities between Tris and Alanna with Alanna and Tris – Similar? before discussing what we would meditate with in What would you use for meditation?. In Provost’s Dog, we considered Rosto’s attachment to Beka and our Our favourite couples in PD, amongst other things.
In Up and Coming, we got excited for the release of Tortall and Other Lands: A Collection of Other Tales with threads like T&OL: Coming out next month!and Out this week: Tortall and Other Lands. We also marked Tammy's time on RandomBuzzers with Random Buzz - Take Two! and posted our quasi-canon finds in the spoilery Quasi Canon from Random Buzzers (2011) thread, which thankfully didn't joss half as many people's personal canon as the last time.
Writer's Circle was a hive of activity in the lead up to SMACKDOWN, getting us motivated with threads like Writing Plans & Works in Progress, Songs to Write By and how to maintain our Focus.
