Activities Poll

[tinny]

The roundup for our last activity will come soon(ish), but first, a poll:

What kind of activities do you like doing? I'd just like to get a feel for what we as a community like the most.

You can check as many as you like! I'm always going to make sure that the themes are alternating/rotating, and I will prefer the types which get the most votes.

Please feel free to discuss and make suggestions in the comments!

The last time I asked for and got some theme/activity suggestions was in August last year. I haven't used them all yet, but I'll definitely welcome new suggestions at any time!

Yes, make me make textures, that would be very helpful!

[tinny]

Hehee, it's one of the choices with the least votes. But I'll keep it in mind. <3

I like everything lol.

I've been away for sooo long! I may do some of the old ones just for fun on my own once I have the time. And ask the maker is always SUPER helpful. :)

[tinny]

I actually do old challenges for fun sometimes, too. <3

[timetobegin]

even if i don't "like" something, it's nice to be challenged - the song set for example was so out of my wheelhouse (TEXT!! MULTIPLE TIMES!!) but i ended up being really proud and happy to finish.

i ticked no for ask the maker, but it was more...not sure i'll partake because i never know what to ask!!

[tinny]

I am so glad to hear the Song Set challenge was a surprise hit!

Thank you for explaining your thoughts on Ask the Maker. It is a tough one, because a lot of people clicked "no", and it makes it even harder to decide. (But I think enough of them clicked yes for it to make sense to do it again. I just feel like I'll be disappointing a lot of people no matter what I do.)

[timetobegin]

I think clicking no doesn't mean it shouldn't happen - if people don't like something they should just skip over! Definitely don't feel you are disappointing people! You make posts and put in the work, means no complaining LOL!
