Any artists here want to get together for gallery showings of our art? Back on an X-Men board I used to frequent, we'd get together once every 1-2 months and pick a character that we wanted to be the the gallery subject. The character (or two) with the most votes became the gallery subjects and everyone would create and post a drawing, photomanipulation, painting, poem, short story, etc. featuring the subject. Any interest here?

Thanks, MEL!

I'll try writing a short story inspired by whatever character we decide on ME Lad, I think this is a brilliant idea!

I'm for this. Sounds good. I'll even try to contribute.

anybody want to write songs ? Haikus would be cool too...

I might contribute, as well

I'll write a little ditty

I like this idea!

Anyone want to suggest a subject matter/ person to begin with and a date for work to be exhibited?

MELad, as you came up with this idea I propose you start the ball rolling.

This sounds like a great idea! Don't know that I can contribute anything of value (though I'll try!) but I sure would love to see the talent here displayed in concert.

Alright, thanks Harbinger. Hmmm...who could we start with??? How should we do the vote? Post informally in this column? Maybe everybody choses three so we hopefully can get a true winner? Can non-participants vote?

Sure, I'd be up for this. I don't know how they did it on that X-baord, but I guess monthly would be cool. I think that the nominations should be open to everyone, not just contributors. There's also a question of how much time to leave for voting and how much time to leave for people to do stuff before moving on the the next. (I suppose the next round of nominations would run concurrently as the time left open for creators to post stuff -- that way, there won't be any in-between time.)

Maybe for the first round (just to get things rolling), we can do two weeks of voting, then two weeks of creating while the next round of votes takes place then after that go monthly?

Oh, and to keep to the idea of a gallery, maybe we can have an "opening" -- a specific day for creators to all post stuff at once after the time period for working is over (although latecomers will still be welcome).

Sounds good DrakeB3003, sound okay with everyone else? As for my votes, I've been meaning to do something with Timberwolf for a while, so I guess he gets one of my votes. Here's my choices:
Timberwolf
Levithan/Colossal Boy
Polar Boy

I vote for

1. Princess Projectra
2. Timber Wolf
3. Invisible Kid

I love this idea, but I am not creative. Thanks for opening the voting to non-contributers. I LOVE this board!!!

I'm also not very creative but I would love to see Duo Damsel!

I'll contribute somehow.

My votes are:

Triad

Infectious Lass

Matter-Eater Lad

I've no artistic skills but I'm told my writing's okay. I can't promise a story but I'm sure I can at least find an appropriate song.

Since I'm the newbie, I'll let the rest of you decide who we're going to feature.

If you want to see some of my words, check out the Legionnaire Heroes topic.

If you want to see a lot of my words, check out my Yahoo Group:

Erotic M/M stories with an emphasis on B&D. Meet your favorite characters from Pine Valley, the 30th Century, Middle Earth, West Hollywood, Graymarye, Amazona, and Major League Soccer at Hyperion Ranch!

My stuff gets pretty raunchy sometimes but I try to keep a sense of humor and all my stories have happy endings.

I'll vote for:
Timberwolf
Dreamer
and just to be different,
Mano!!

btw, M-E Lad, when does this round of voting close?

Hurm...should we say 11:59 and 59 seconds pm, pacific time Friday night (the 5th)? I forget, how long for the creation process of the gallery showing? Two weeks? Three? More?

To add some amateur grist to the mill (should make all the rest of you shine even more than you do anyway!) I'll try to offer something as well.

My votes are as follows:

Mon-el
Timber Wolf
Emerald Empress (surely the Empress is deserving if Mano is! )

Luornu
Mano
Brek

I say:

Luornu
Tinya
Mano

A little over one day left of voting. C'mon and be heard!

So far a pretty nice turn out for Mano !

I'm going to have to vote for Mano too.

He seems like the over-looked member of the Fatal Five. Tharok was the leader. Validus was huge. The Empress, well she goes without saying.

Mano and Persuader were the back ground boys.

hehe -- boy, look at the Mano votes pour in! Too bad I didn't say "Grinn"...

Well I think votings done. We've got a sorta tie, 2 or 3 way depending on how you look at it. If you count the one vote for Duo Damsel as a vote from Triad, then here's the final tally:
4 Mano
4 Timberwolf
4 Triad + Duo Damsel
2 Polar Boy
Apparition
Dreamer
Emerald Empress
Infectious Lass
Invisible Kid
Levithan/Colossal Boy
Matter-Eater Lad
Mon-el
Princess Projectra

If you don't count Triad and DD the same, that Mano and Timber Wolf are the finalists. I think the last time I did this, we kept the top two so that people had a choice for their submission in the gallery. What do y'all think? Keep two or just one?
