So we're at the usual time where I start putting up Spirit Weeks stuff and start getting prepared for it, including categories, dates to hold it, etc. Only problem is I don't know how many people would be interested or how feasible it would be. So I created this thread to find out.
For the last two years, Spirit Weeks has run at the end of the year, around December. Which has always been a rather questionable time; aside from holiday obligations including trips, students have finals. And then there's the fact that people can't dress up their profiles for the holidays if they really want to in that time frame if they're participating. (Well, unless we have a Holidays based category or something...)
I personally think Summer is a better potential time frame due people having more free time and all, but that's a half a year from when we normally host them. And if I hold a December one and a summer one, I worry that it may be considered to be too soon.
There's also the fact that we also have a few other events going on, including the Guilds event, the Karmageddon that's still going on, and then later the Secret Santa. As much as I like Spirit Weeks, I don't want people to feel overwhelmed. But I also don't know whether people will feel overwhelmed.
I'll go with whatever time frame everyone else wants to do it, if they want to do it. But I need to find out what people want first. So go ahead and file in your opinions. Or just vote on the poll.
(Keep in mind that if you do want a Spirit Weeks and you want it in December before the year ends, then it's better to respond quick enough so that I have time to set it up.)
