Historium Updates
As I said in my last, the mods have been deciding what to do re. some of the members' suggestions about comm activities.
Obviously, the main purpose of the community is to act as noticeboard/meeting place for everyone in any historical fandom who wants to use it, so regardless of whatever bonus challenges or events we may run, please keep on posting links, fanworks, recs, discussion posts, fandom promos, community promos etc. etc.
* We now have a sticky post for Useful Resources. Any such links anyone posts to the comm will be added to the main list, or you can comment to that post directly to add something.
* I'm also tentatively trying a rough sort of newsletter/round-up, the first edition of which is here. If you have any community or site we should be keeping an eye on, please let us know at the most recent edition. (We have an account for watching relevant comms, so if you seehistorium_mod about, that's what it is.)
* We now have a outline for seasonal challenges & bonus events. The first of these will be a history commentfest, which will go up over the weekend - start thinking of your prompts now!
For April-August,auroracloud will be running a fandom manifesto (or promo) challenge, while dimity_blue will be coming up with some extra, smaller fun challenges in between (most likely monthly, or every other month).
(The Sep-Dec challenge will most likely be to pick up a promoted fandom, but obviously that will depend on how the previous challenge goes, but we have alternate ideas - more on that when we get to the time.)
Hopefully, this should be the last such admin update from me (at least for a fair while), but you can always drop a comment on the Intro post sticky or PM a mod if you have any questions or suggestions at any time.
And so, as you were! As I said before, a community is its members, not its mods, so keep on making use ofhistorium & we hope any modly extras prove to be useful and fun.
