The time is drawing near of pumpkins and mystery, mansions and murder! Are we wanting to do the Hallowfest again this year? I'm willing to help plan and such, but I thought it'd be good to talk about since we've almost finished with September!

I'm afraid I won't have the time to participate this year. Of course, I'll help out when you need someone with shiny buttons but since I'm not on most on you guys' time zones we should probably lasso someone like Taur too, she is usually active in the Hallowfest.

*salutes* At your service! Always willing to help with the Hallowfest.

So, what do we need to get rolling? I've not planned it before. Sign ups, yes? Layout. Who wants to host? What all should be planned pre-event?

I think two hosts really worked out last time. I never could've managed without JF last year. I've looking at my schedule, and I've got some pretty big commitments over the next few weeks, but luckily things will have calmed down (to a merely normal state of busy ) by the usual time of the Hallowfest, so I think I would be able to co-host again, if needed.

Agreed. I think once we have the dates we should start posting the info everywhere. I likely have the time, I could co-host with you Taur, if you're up for a newbie hoster.


As for dates, I wouldn't think we'd want to go into November? Usually people calm down on the murder front by then. Two weeks, one week, week and a half? Two weeks ending Oct 31 would put us starting next Wednesday. I think we can have it set up by then, but how long should we be aiming for?

I think.... that I might not be able to attend this year..

I'm packed with study-stuff and exams in those weeks and I'll be flying to L.A. on the 30th to visit my sister, so I will probably be stressing out by that time about my first real plane flight!

Perhaps I can have Sparkle pop in a few times, just to cheer the Horseman up..

If you postpone the Hallowfest until a week after Halloween, I could be there.

*pats JF on the head*

Now I feel bad as well.

It seems like A-U is quieter these days and we have few oldie members who can hype up Hallowfest. I'm thinking that perhaps keeping it shorter than two weeks and limiting the activities around Halloween to maybe one or two.. like a contest and a pumpkin carving show off thread or something.

And maybe we should take full advantageof the Hobbit coming out later and fire up on the social activities around December with Hobbit themed Winter ball, RL dress up threads, contests and everything Hobbit related since there would probably be more people around.

Yeah, I was wondering if two weeks would be too long. I think people *could* find ways to amuse themselves, but at the same time I don't want them to lose interest. What if we started the 21st? It would give a little extra time but not a scary amount.
