think it's too hard to navigate/comment/whatever. Or, if they're just readers and new to fandom, they may have never even heard of it, and would participate if they knew more about it. At one time, there was a round every season, dropping it to just two was an effort to not burn out the mods, and

Thanks for the boost, flow! Good description. I felt like such a slacker this last round. Probably the first time since 2005 (when I joined LJ) that I haven't written something for a SS round. I think LJ scares a lot of people off- they think they need to have a journal and don't want one, or they

for about a month. It started on LiveJournal but with the decline of LiveJournal they tried to find a new additional home at Dreamwidth. Sadly Dreamwidth is also not very active, that's why the mods are now looking for new options.

about how to make your own customized Playmobil Spuffy couple. The only condition is that the contribution is a debut and has not yet been posted before. Of course everyone is free to post it elsewhere afterward. The event is held twice a year, once in Spring and once in Fall and usually lasts

Hey @Marina: Seasonal Spuffy is a fandom event that has been running for about twenty years. Everyone can participate and contribute Spuffy fanworks. It doesn't matter what it is. They have banners, icons, videos, fanart, and fics. Everything is welcome. I for myself once posted a DIY tutorial

@Dusty: no, only since 2015, when I had just joined LJ. Seasonal Spuffy has been going a lot longer than that!

Kudos to Double Dutchess. I could have said that until this last round....but nothing got done this time. Please, everyone go read the announcement and take the poll so we know what to do.

As someone who hasn't skipped a round of Seasonal Spuffy since I joined LJ, I really hope it can have a continued existence (and hopefully a big revival) here on SAD!
