Ghost of You Shrine Challenge results

[nepenthee]

The event has concluded! The shrines were all finished around the same time with none coming weeks or months earlier, which goes to show that deadlines work wonders to sit down and get things done! 8D

A total of 12 shrines were submitted for this challenge:

Shrines without button: Serene Chaos, this ghost is still alive

The full overview can be viewed on the updated event website.

If your submission somehow did not go through, please contact me again.

To those that could not make the deadline: I hope you can finish your shrines eventually, as I’d certainly love to see them! If you mention this challenge somewhere on your shrine whenever it sees the light of day, contact me and I’ll list it as a honourable mention on the event website.

Plug your shrine!

Now that all shrines are revealed, I encourage you to make a separate post to invite comments/feedback and, if you feel like it, share how the event went for you or how you feel about what you’ve made! Anyone is welcome to plug, no prior participation in discussions required. Please tag your post with #event: ghost of you and #plug.

Naturally, you can also reply to this post and ask for comments to be made here or in your own guestbook if you prefer.

This space will remain open for its current members for a while longer — one two months at minimum — to allow for digestion and exchange. :D Please don’t be shy (you deserve the spotlight for pulling this off!), and please take a moment to let your fellow webmasters know what you think if you like their work. This is a space for encouragement and connection as much as it is for learning and productivity.

Future events

If you’re interested in future events, the easiest way to stay updated is to keep track of this Dreamwidth community, either by subscribing to this community (with optional notifications) or subscribing to its RSS feed. Please note that on Dreamwidth, being a member of a community and subscribing to it are different things. See this Tumblr post for more information. Alternatively, you can check the central update log of my network, which also offers an RSS feed.

What next? For the time being, I plan to host an event for shrine collectives (and adjacent sites) starting sometime around spring (hopefully), as I know that several revamps, relaunches and new projects are underway in this sphere of the web.

Thank you, everyone, for making this challenge a resounding success — and this goes to everyone who worked on their shrine and contributed to our conversation topics, too, even if you did not manage to finish in time! I truly appreciate the commitment even though it turns out that it may have been the worst time of the year to run the challenge, oops. (Note to self: Avoid setting deadlines in December or January.) My thanks also go to everyone who helped advertise this event, and most of all larissa, who helped make this event happen in so many ways! ❤

I hope that this event and its framework gave you something that may spark something else in the future, and that you feel encouraged and empowered in all future site-making endeavours.

Any feedback to this event is very welcome, through any channel of your choosing.

Congratulations on your new shrines and happy browsing! ❤
