> Countdown to our 10th Anniversary
>
> I’m willing to fudge exactly when, but sometime in September 1998 the first postings of what would eventually evolve into the Parodyverse began as reply threads on the Avengers Message Board. So we’ve at a significant anniversary.
|
Actually, I think one could argue that they started in late August on the AMB, but by mid September the Parodyverse-ish stories went from being an off-topic oddity on that board to supporting a board all their own, and has done so for ten years straight!
Yay us.
> Friday 12th September: Online chat in the Lair Legion Living Room. I’ve already booked a hostess for the event and she’ll probably hunt you down if you’re not there.
|
Would she be dressed like Shanna or Shena or any of those jungle women huntresses?
You know what... it doesn't matter. I'll be there anyway.
>
> Saturday 13th September: I’d like to FINISH that damned Saving the Future round robin.
|
I suppose that means I should finish the tie-in by then too.
>
> Sunday 14th September: We’ll be launching our Then and Now survey. Just how have you changed since 1998? And what about your characters?
|
I'm sure I've just improved with age. Really.
>
> Tuesday 16th September: We’ll be asking for the Hall of Fame reposts. You’ll have a chance to nominate a favourite story that you wrote and a favourite story from somebody else (preferably one that’s appeared on the PVB). We’ll get them all up so there’s lots of material for people to get nostalgic about.
|
What haven't I reposted way too many times already?
>
> Wednesday 17th September: The Interviews. We’ll be asking you to interview yourself about your life and interests and your view of the board and the world. We haven’t done one of these for five years so it could be interesting.
|
I've had to do video interviews for work. I was really quite bad at them.
>
> And the other days? Well, I’m not doing all the heavy lifting. Let’s have your ideas too!
|
I'll need to think about it. Usually for anniversaries I try to get away with some flowers and a nice dinner.
