Good afternoon!
Around this time of year, there's somewhat of a tradition that I post up for all to enjoy/torment their characters with. The Auction. However! This year it is different! How different you might ask? Well, here's the short explanation:
1] Most of the time the people who drop by your booth if you are for auction are people you already have CR with.
2] We're looking for fun and easy ways to let people meet new people ICly.
3] The Auction is usually split up between girls and boys and I'd like to figure out how to welcome EVERYONE into it at once.
So, in order to help with all of those things, Harmony is NO LONGER HOLDING AN AUCTION. You read that right, no more auctions. Instead, she'll be holding
SPEED DATING with the help of her friend Cupid.
Here's the shortest way to explain it, because I know how much everyone loves it when I sum up quickly.
1] You can still sign yourself up (or your friend) and Men and Women will be allowed to be signed up at the same time.
2] The first time will be a HUGE event. Then Harmony will realize how crazy she was to hold it at this large scale and she'll hold smaller rounds bi-monthly at Caritas. (for characters that missed out, want to do this later, don't have time for it now... etc.)
3] There will be options for your match-ups so that even if your characters aren't perfectly matched, they can still be set-up on a date.
4] The post format will be MUCH easier to comment to, with no need for keeping track of high bids or not being in your booth. If you can't show up on your own - that's what Cupid is for. 8D
Now the only thing that is up in the air is WHEN to have this. You can all look at the
Calendar for the next three months. Last year, the Auction was the weekend of Thanksgiving. This year, because I will be traveling and I have two other things planned for this month, I'm going to push that month off the table. Plus, I need time to ICly build up Harmony's need to do this with Cupid and whoever else might ICly help out.
So here are your options!
