I don't think she comes here very often at all, but if you all are worried about her seeing the surprise, you can always ask one of the staff to move it to the personal board so it will only show up to members. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have an account (though I could be wrong!)
No, Minna doesn't have an account (or if she does, she's never used it) and to the best of my knowledge she very rarely comes here, if at all.
If people are still worried I could move the thread over to Personal just in case she happens to drop by. After all, she's even linked us on her main comic page so she's obviously aware of her existence.

I'm up for poetry. Perhaps a meditation on the creative process, in verse? Or a drinking song for Sigrun's hall? Or an anthem for the Cleansers? Could do any.
If we pick a theme, I could probably compose a piece and someone could write lyrics for it.

As long as the lyrics don't need to be in Norwegian, I'm good with that.
Keep an eye on me. I shimmer on horizons.

Great! Any ideas? I like the idea of a drinking song for the hunters.

Drink to the Health of the Weavers (variant: Drink to the Health of the Dorsai ) has always been a favorite of mine, but it's a pretty well-established tune.  It mixes well with Farewell to the Creeks , as was done on Shai Dorsai!.

OK, there's your  "straw man", go ahead and kick the stuffing outta him! :D

I would positively love to make something for this! I could draw something, or maybe make one of those weird low-poly pieces...

I merged this thread with the already existing thread for Minna's birthday present. You can go back to see what people did last year for some possible ideas.

Heya!! Probably should not have started a topic and then immediately go out drinking. Good morning.

Thank you for merging it violas!! I'll look over it right now.

Hmm, I think we're thinking of different events. The one I'm thinking of was in 2009, or maybe it was 2010? I can't actually remember. But it was a long time ago. It was an internet-only gift, no printing.

My assumption was that Shoop meant an internet-only thing as well. So, it would just be a matter of making a thread on the forum for it, and everyone putting their fanwork in the thread, and then someone would send the link to Minna. Shoop, can you confirm?
Yeah I was thinking of the digital internet gift (I was pretty young at the time and sending off fanart was scary to me haha). For one thing it'd be insane coordinating the gift to all arrive at once, and also I am not sure asking Minna for her address to pass to approximately a lot of people would go over well haha.
But as for delivering it to Minna I was thinking either a) a tumblr specifically for the purpose, b) a dropbox link (so that we can get all the resolutions and stuff...plus I think it'd be easier for people with audio files/video files/etc yanno) or c) we just make a new thread in the forum that's specifically for people to put the gifts and just point minna towards it.

If we pick a theme, I could probably compose a piece and someone could write lyrics for it.

Theme!! yes. I originally conceived the theme as drawing some cheer-up art, but since it's morphed into a birthday gift...hmm! I honestly just think the theme of birthdays would be cute but if you want an additional theme, anyone mind if I just go for the obvious and suggest cats? She does love them like a whole heckuva lot.

OK wait this is a huge thread. What are we actually going to do? I can draw a me, or do some other art.
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

I tried to keep myself in control but no, I'm in too, although I know I have a long list of things already that I've agreed to do... but if I work on the things really hard this weekend I could manage (this may be a plan that won't work as well as I imagine it will but shhh). However, if I try to pile anything more on my plate feel free to dropkick me for my own good.
