I propose a new furry holiday: Character Sheet Day
14 years ago
Why yes, I am crazy enough to be even thinking about this, but hear me out. We all have characters, right? Well, most of us. Anyways. We all should have reference sheets of said characters, but they're such a hassle to deal with putting together, so they're often neglected in place of other things.
It's December, and there's just a month between us and Further Confusion, so I propose that this Saturday, December 17 be declared Character Sheet Day! Finally, a day set aside for us to work with everyone else at the same time and get our character sheets updated. And it's far enough out from con that you have time to put some good work into it, and have something nice to bring along for commissions.
Are you an artist, looking for an extra marketing hook to pull in a little more pre holiday cash? Run a deal for character sheets! Don't want to do commissions? Just update one of your own reference sheets, they make wonderful examples in galleries.
Don't have a character sheet to begin with, and you're not an artist? Commission a character sheet that day, finally! Or at least start drafting ideas for what you'd want in one.
I'm doing it! Will you join me for this needed day? I know I've got at least two I desperately need to update!
I will celebrate and eat the traditional Reference Sheet Pie (which is the cheapest pie at the grocery store)
Make sure to spread the word and boost the signal for this in your own journal! The more people who participate, the more successful it will be - we'll all feel pressured to keep up with everyone else. ;)
