Admin Post: Call for Bannermakers/Interest Check for Banners and Discord

[fanweeklymod]

Hi, everybody, and my apologies for how long it's taken me to make this post!

As you may have noticed, we didn't have any bannermakers signed up past Challenge 020, so this post is a combination interest check/bannermaker sign-up post.

Does everyone like having banners for challenge winners, or is there something else that everyone would enjoy as an alternate prize? If you're interested in making banners or have alternate suggestions for challenge prizes, please comment here and let me know.

In the past, we've also had a group Discord chat for Fandomweekly participants (readers and writers all welcome). Is that something anyone would still be interested in? If so, please let me know here; if enough people are interested, I'll see what I can do about making a new one.

Yeah, that's definitely been an issue in the past. I'm trying to come up with a backup option if someone commits to make banners for a certain week and then disappears--I'm not at all good at bannermaking, but if I have the time, I might be able to make some simple backup banners to post myself. It's frustrating to have them promised and not get them, and I don't want to have that be a regular thing, so I won't be confirming any bannermakers for challenges until I know what I'll do in the event that they can't do that week.

Fair enough! I really like badly_knitted's suggestion of a weekly chat post, if there's an interest in conversation outside of fic comments--it'd certainly be a lot easier for me to keep track of.

I think a weekly chat post is a wonderful idea!
