Hey there, New SlayAlivers! The wonderful SlayAlive is pretty action packed, and sometimes the crazy amount of stuff going on can be a bit confusing or overwhelming, so here's a little rundown of the ongoing contests and activities that are always circulating out forum!
Our most action packed board is the SlayChallenges and Contests board, but there're some other stuff on other boards, too!
Name of Avtivity ~ Who it's run by ~ Board it's on ~ Status
-Description
Member of the Month ~ Run by MotM Host ~ SlayChallenges & Contests ~ Ongoing
- This is exactly what the name says. members nominate other members that they think deserve the title of member of the Month. the top nominees are placed in a poll and voted on. The winner(s) get there name done in a different colour of their choice.
Character Appreciation Month ~ Run by CowBoyGuy ~ Character Appreciation ~ Ongoing
- Every month, CBG, our lovely admin picks a Whedonverse character for us to love and talk about in the Appreciation Month thread. Previous and furutre months can also be viewed in the Character Appreciation board.
SlayAliver's Awards ~ Run By Forum Awards (CowBoyGuy) ~ Forum Awards 2009 ~ Ongoing
-Yearly award ceremony where members of the forum nominate others in categories ranging from Forum Sweetheart to Most Sarcastic! The awards take place in February, around the time of SlayAlive's anniversary.
SlayAlive Big Brother ~ Run by Wyndam ~ SlayChallenges and Contests ~ Ongoing
-Just what it's called! Big Brother! Participants are locked in a board (the Summers' house) and we play Big Brother!
Official SlayAlive Lottery ~ Run By CowBoyGuy ~ SlayChallenges & Contests ~ Continuing
-This is a lottery done my our admin, where a ton of names of members are thrown into a hat, and names are drawn every so often and the drawn name gets a prize! a real actual prize mailed tou your house! how awesome! so be sure to sign up the next time around!
Bannerama ~ Run by Wyndam ~ SlayChallenges & Contests ~ Ongoing
-members make a banner according to the theme laid out by Wyndam. They submit it to Wyndam via PM, so no one knows who made what banner, and once the sumbission deadline comes, they are put up for voting, and everyone in teh forum can vote for their favorite and then the winner, well, wins.
Coverama ~ Run by Wyndam ~ SlayChallenges & Contests ~ Ongoing
- exactly the same as Bannerama, but instead of a banner, it's a book cover/comic cover/movie poster/whatever else Wyndam puts for the design and theme.
Layoutarama ~ Run by Wyndam ~ SlayChallenges & Contests ~ Ongoing
- Same as the other two -aramas but you design the huge banenr at the top of Slayalive. the winner's layout gets to stay up there for a week.
SlayAlive Scribes ~ Run by Emmie ~ SlayChallenges & Contests ~ Ongoing
- This is our fanfiction writing contest. it's the same as the -aramas, themed and sent in via PM, but instead of graphics it's fanfic!
Last Icon Maker Standing ~ Run by Xaphania ~ SlayChallenges and Contests ~ Ongoing
- is our newest contest. each round Xaphania provides screencaps (this may change though, in future rounds) and you make an icon/avatar out of one of those screencaps. You submit it to Xaph (again, via PM so no one knows which is yours) and then they are all put up for voting. the people with the fewest number of votes are eliminated, and then the next round begins!
SlayAlive Challenges~ Run by Spikeluv13 ~ SlayChallenges & Contests ~ Ongoing
- these are a bit more complicated. They change every time, but everyone who signs up is always given a status (Scoobie, Vampire, and Wolf are the ones we're doing now. the last was Witches/Warlocks, Seers and Villiagers). And then there are day and night rounds, where people of your status can do stuff. if you are a vampire, you would kill the scobies, things like that.
Georges Jeanty/Scott Allie/Brian Lynch Q and A's ~ Run by Emmie/Allie, Wenxina/Jeanty and Wyndam/Lynch. ~ Buffy Season 8/IDW Angel Series ~ Ongoing
- These are Q and A sessions with people from the Buffy Season 8 comics! Be sure to look out for the next one, because Georges and Scott do them monthly!
Top Posters Per Month ~ run by sagewoman ~ Hyperion: Rules & Help ~ Ongoing
- This is just a thing done by sagewoman. She calculates the number of posts people make per month and makes a top ten list. There are no prizes or anything, but it's still oodles of fun to look and see if you rank!
The Slaymies[/u] (unofficial name) ~ Run by Snizapman6294, Skytteflickan88 and Just Willow ~ board pending ~ Has Not Started
- This is an awards project, much like the Emmys, but only for the four main Whendonverse projects (BtVS, AtS, Firefly and Dollhouse), there are categories for best couple, worst dressed character, etc. There will be Questionairres and Polls available for members to use. Keep a look out for when this begins, because it's bound to be exciting!
