Let's start brainstorming some Great Collab themes!

[Carolyn]

*Throws confetti*

We need ourselves some fresh and fabulous new collab themes for our future collabs!

Discuss, list off some ideas, and I'll throw together a poll for early December most probably.

Here's a running list of ideas:


The Sea
The Surreal/Bizarre (per Brian)
Four Seasons
Digging Up the Past (History/past vs present) (per Brian)
Return to Aiopen (per Brian)
Let it Grow (Gardens/Horticulture)
The Great Outdoors
Crossovers and Mashups (per Brian)
Sports and Games (per Brian)

Behind the Scenes (events or otherwise) Ashten
Exploration Kat
Action-packed Kat
Weaponry Kat

[June Scarlet]

I know Ashten was suggesting something like behind the scenes of the Altador Cup, or perhaps even behind the scenes of events in general.

May I make some suggestions:

- Action-packed issue (the action genre, in short, or anything that would probably belong in an action movie, but not necessarily heroes and villains which have been done before)
- Weaponry
- Supporting characters (an issue tribute to lesser-known characters in Neopia)

[Carolyn]

Kat- We had a sidekicks collab in the past so that might fall under Supporting Characters. Action-packed or Weaponry sounds fine to me, though, I'll add.

Would it help perhaps to put a list of what themes we've already done so far? After seventeen collabs, it is getting a little hard to remember them all off the top of my head. xD

Here's a list of all the collabs so far! I also linked below a few threads that involved theme brainstorming, as they include ideas that have yet to be done that maybe someone wants to put back on the table, or perhaps they can help with idea inspiration. 

1. Ode to the Villains
2. Everyone Needs a Hero
3. Brightvale University
4. Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Stuff
5. Conspiracies and Mysteries
6. Dreams and Nightmares
7. Ghosts and Monsters
8. Royalty and Leaders
9. In the Sky
10. Celebrations and Reunions
11. Magic and Curses
12. Sidekicks and Partners
13. Legends and Folklore
14. Neovian Gothic
15. Neopian Literature
16. The Cosmic
17. Performing Arts

So many great themes in here! I'd like to suggest a few more:

- Avant-garde (or maybe something to do with innovation, if it's easier to explain)
- Retro and Vintage
- The old and the new
(These themes are all somewhat related to Digging Up the Past, that was already suggested and I loved, but in slightly different approaches)

- Fire and Ice
- Innocence and Guilt
- Monochromatic (might be more of a visual theme but in my weird brain I could see it working)
- Something to do with Pirates hehe

[Carolyn]

Bumping this thread up. I can put probably 15-20 potential collab themes into a poll and have us choose top 3 each. How does that sound?

[Kat]

That sounds like a good idea, Carolyn.
