I've been trying to decide how to run the first contest and was looking for input from y'all Here are some options I've weighed so far: - The member with the most posts on a certain topic wins
- A trivia question will be posted and the people with the right answer will be eligible (via PM)
- Members simply enter their name into it and it will be a random draw
- Members contribute a creative thread/piece of artwork/fanfic/etc.
I will more than likely stagger the type of contest each time. Since you will be the ones eligible for the contests, I figured it'd be ideal if I had your input. Any other ideas or yeas or nays for the ones I've already listed?? All will be seriously considered Thanks in advance!!! Can't wait for that magic #50 ;D

I don't know about the whole creative tread/piece of artworl/fanfic/etc. one. I mean I'm not the most creative person, but if you decide to use it, I will definitely try my hardest. It may be laughable but hey anything for a chance to win stuff pertainig to Steven.

I like the Trivia question and random draw.
I think one rule would be if you win one contest, you cant participate in the next one, so you cant win twice in a row.

Good idea. I was just thinking that exact thing.

My thoughts on each idea.
The member with the most posts on a certain topic wins
Well this one would not be a great idea because then it be 'see who can spam the board the most to win' thing. So this idea I do not like at all.
A trivia question will be posted and the people with the right answer will be eligible (via PM)
This one is a good one. I like this one. Not that I claim to have any knowledge what so ever but it be fun.
Members simply enter their name into it and it will be a random draw
This one would be cool too. And totally random. Which makes it more fun.
Members contribute a creative thread/piece of artwork/fanfic/etc.
This is a good one too. Also the votes for this should be taken via PM as well. That way no one knows who wins save you. Also makes it more of a surprise. Surprises are good. Knowing who wins especial if you are in the contest is not a good thing. Plus no one likes to lose.
Oh one more idea for this one. Stories or art may not be reentered in another contest down the road. Must be new work.
That's all from me. Take care all.
Live in honor.
Blessed be.

This may be the stupidest question anyone will ever hear, but I am not the most "technological" person (not sure if that's the word I'm looking for). So as to my question, What is PM??

Private message, via the little envelope/folder/paper next to someone's name on the left side.

Ooh, also an idea for an competition, a scavenger hunt of sort regarding all things Steven...for example you say find a pic/screencap of Steven in a white shirt. (*Its a silly example but I think you get what im getting at...it could be quite interesting to see what everyone comes up with.

Great idea. And then everyone who participates could be put in a drawing b/c how can you choose who is right and who is wrong. Unless the rules about what has to be found are crazy specific.

I like the scavenger hunt idea. It's just like the game 'Find That Photo' which is so much fun to play. It's also fun to see what everyone else comes up with.
