Howdy, y'all! It's time to pick a new theme for the upcoming collab(s). Here we'll throw around some theme discussions and I'll set up a poll. We'd be probably looking at July or August 2020 at this point.  Let's get thinking! I'll edit the list as we go. My twin thought of Cosmic. Theme Ideas: The Cosmic The Art of the Stage Neopian Literature Cake and Sweets Old and Young The Seasons Arts and Crafts |

How about having all the entries be based on existing book items on the site itself? For example, somebody could take Mystery Of The Kougra Paw and make their entry about what the actual contents of the book may be.
That said, while I think Short Stories and Series would have plenty of material to draw from and there are plenty of non-fiction books to give Article-writers ideas, I feel like Comics may be a bit harder to pull off. (A quick search on Jellyneo only pulls up a dozen book items that are comics) So in order to broaden the theme a bit, perhaps "Neopian Literature" might work?

Ooh, I like this idea a lot! I’m sure plenty of us have seen a book on the site and wish we could actually read it! As for comics, they could also work as graphic novels of the stories (even if only one scene is depicted - though it could inspire a new comic series in order to finish the story :3) or even illustrated guides if someone wanted to tackle one of the maaany non-fiction books on the site. You could even create a story that incorporates the message - like the Marie Kondo manga I bought ( The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up) or what the movie He’s Just Not That Into You did (both were based on self-help books). Stories and series could take that approach with the non-fiction books as well. Though I still would hope at least one artist will choose an existing comic on the site because that’d be fun to see.  I just wanted to offer some ideas to help broaden the options for those who didn’t feel inspired enough by the existing comics. Also, it would be cool if the thumbnails were the item image, but the size difference might be a problem. ^^; |

Random ideas from the mind of SNaw:
Cake
A certain season, depending on the time of year. (Like Summer)
Babies
Eldery Pets

How does Cake and Sweets, Old and Young, and The Seasons sound? -------------------- If it works for you, it works for the Snaw! Also other random idea: Arts and Crafts (Has this been done?) |

I'll make a poll on the 15th. Please let me know if there's any other ideas! |
