Hey there.  :)

I´m glad the prompt of the week event is there, it sounds very fun (though I haven´t really gotten around to taking a look at it. :-[ )

But now that September´s a bit over halfway over, I wanted to ask about YoinkTober again. Please redirect me if it´s already being discussed in another thread, I don´t really remember where we did that the last years, so I´ll ask here for now? Since this one is kind of the general events organization thread at this point...
But in case no discussion is already going on, I wanted to maybe get the ideas-ball rolling for the prompts this year.

I don´t know if there´s something really obvious as a general theme that would fit perfectly since I wasn´t around that much recently, but here are some thoughts I had:

- I´ve really enjoyed the spooky prompts (like monster-prompts and stuff) we had every now and then. Plus they are in the spirit of Halloween. But I do think that the variety is what made it. So maybe we could alternate between face-value-spooky/sad/etc. promts and face-value-fluffy/happy/etc. prompts. I say face value, because we can still make whatever we want out of those prompts and interpret them completely different. Topic could be called "trick or treat" :P Perhaps that might be a bit too cliché though... :V
- Some/all prompts could also be themed around tarot-cards, maybe? (If there´s enough tarot-cards I don´t know actually?) I remember prompts in past events relating to tarot-cards always got some incredible pieces. Plus I for some reason had a lot of drawing-ideas surrounding tarot-cards recently. :'D
I could still get away with these ideas with different prompts of course, so there´s absolutely no pressure to include tarot itself. If art-school´s taught me one thing then how to most efficiently sell my whims and bs as absolutely the assignment I was supposed to do. ;)

What do you think? ^^' Of course I want to hear other ideas too, I´m just trying to get the discussion started!

Heya! This is something actually that a couple of us admins/mods have been discussing and considering asking the forum generally - whether or not there's interest this year in doing YoinkTober. If enough folks would want to participate, we'd be happy to come up with prompts and run the event.

Since you've already raised it here, this is as good a time as any to see if people are eager, and it sounds like you've got some neat prompt ideas. I'll leave it for people who are more involved in this stuff than I to continue!

A traditional tarot deck has 78 cards, so that'd essentially turn into YoinkWriVent. ;)
(Just the Major Arcana would fit better, and probably be less repetitive than working through the Minor Arcana as well, though.)

I have been thinking about YoinkTober prompts in the background and could have a set ready to go, but the Tarot idea intrigues me too.  And, while I agree that 78 cards is too many for this purpose, confining to the Major Arcana is a bit too general and high-level for my taste - I like to mix it up with the intriguing detail you can get across the whole deck. 

You know what, Mirasol, I gots me a brain-wave (no pun intended).  See you in YoinkTober...

Oh wow haha I´m honored to have inspired the finalized list of prompts. ^^'
I hope you didn´t have to give up on any prompt-ideas you were really excited about for its sake though, wave. :-\

I´ll be looking foreward to the start of October! :))

Hello, how is everyone doing? :)

As usual, here I am coming out of my hole once October approaches. Are there any plans/people interested for doing YoinkTober this year?
(But please don´t feel pressured to run the event if it´s just me haha. ^^' I´ve just grown really fond of this tradition. I can still find me some prompts and just post into one of the art museums.)

Afraid I'm not up to helping with the organizing (farmers' market is still going); but some years depending on the prompts I've had something to contribute, and have always found YoinkTober fun to read. So here's one other voice, anyway, hoping that it happens.

It would be great to try and run. I know there are prompt lists around, so maybe pick one and we can go with that. Just make a thread “YoinkTober 2024” and maybe add a link to where you picked the prompts from for courtesy. I think and hope some of us will provide something when the thread is there it even with such minimal effort setup. I know I’d love to!

Oh yeah, that´s a good idea. I´ll scour the internet a bit if I can find a good one. :)
