Plans for Minna's Birthday!

[Piney]

Cats......... uh, okay. _{cats aren't my thing but I shouldn't whine about that since other people like the idea}

Haiz, we did drawings of ourselves last year.

=) drawing your catself sounds like a super interpretation! =)
last year we did this:

I'm gonna tell Rabbit about the thread

[Rabbit]

Rabbit had the awesome idea of us all drawing personal cats and then do a collage of SSSS-Fans-Cat/kitty images!
those who don't want to draw could write a poem or a text or something?
Flik was talking about recording something along those lines
 
What do we think?

I think I only said "cats", but "ourselves-as-cats" works just as well, I suppose
*would probably draw a rabbit either way*

How would that work text-based, though?

[Lars_B]

A text could be placed as a poem right? if not to long? or we could get Vi to do an image map of it so that when somebody klicks the little text a larger appears?

HMMmmMM
what if....... we expanded it to animals that could be in the ssss-verse? it would be fun to draw ourselves as scandinavian wildlife maybe? cats and dogs and squirrels and moose and bears..... and idk and since you did portraits last year.......... but maybe we're too many active minnions now compared to then, so a collage like that is probably harder to make??

but it does feel a little unfair to writer types though.

[Yuuago]

It might work best if the writer types put together a second project - I love a lot of the art ideas that have been suggested, but it's hard to interpret in writing.

Writing could be...
-bite-sized (300 words or smaller?)
-SSSS-related obviously
-Would probably be best to have some kind of theme to link it together, so maybe exploring the setting/worldbuilding through the canon characters? Or with original characters?

What do the writers think of the idea of the above, doing something that's "together but separate"?

I would actually love to draw an Icelandic spitz... not even as me; they're just cute. Hmmmm.

*Still can't draw*
I'm sure all of you will obtain something really cool

That sounds like an awesome idea! Nothing against cats either but I'd love to draw myself as an adder...

[Lars_B]

all media in one would be so cool! but hard to organize!
Mel, since there is still time I am sure that you can get help from some of the awesome artists here!
and going for SSSS/aRtD animals also sounds really cool!

[KaTaai]

Perhaps a collaboration? Drawings of creatures and writing backstories for them or something?

I'm pretty sure even you can manage a kitty! you can draw it like letters: Σ:3
see? easy!

[Róisín]

Yuuago, I like that idea. Works for those of us who can't draw at all.

ughh I've been doing math all day so I thought that was a ratio when I first saw it...

[Gwenno]

Oooooh, nice idea ( I like the cat aspect especially, but if people want to diversify who am I to say no). Gotta admit however that I'd dearly love to see some trolls in the mix, especially considering that the fandom occasionally occurs to itself as Minna's grosslings

As for writers, that stuff is more difficult to fit into a card than pictures :/ How about a verse of Runo, or just a few lines of birthday wishes? There are so many of you now, and I'm afraid that pages of writing may be a bit much (considering how much of you guys here write I hardly think this number is beyond the realm of possibility )
