Tenth Anniversary in November - Let's plan a party!

*sharpens pencils, schedules extra banana dance rehearsals*

I'm there. Ten years! Thats a lot of years. You should get a gold watch or something for that. Great-job-and-thanks.

*puts on thinking cap for party ideas*

*it has a hole right where the ideas sposed to be*

*runs around chasing all ideas that run out the hole*

*figures to catch a couple anyway by tomorrow, next day*

Mac, you totally deserve a blow-out of a party for ten years steering this thing. W00T! We'll come up with something I'm sure!

We need to take over one of those empty, roughly rectangular states in the middle of the US and designate it as AW's Party Ground Zero for the year!!

We should all go humanback riding!

Iowa! Now, there's an idea.

Back in the day, I would've hitchhiked. *sigh*

We could do a thing kind of like Burning Man only better because it's us.

Maybe an April Fool's-esque event, where everybody's avatar has a top hat and monocle?

A live concert with Mac doing some awesome death metal growl vocals? (I'd totally pay to see that. )

"Leaked" information to the major news networks that November 2016 will be the end of the world, when the mighty Authors of Legend besiege the world with comma splices?

...

Yeah, I'm no help.

But what about the folks not in the USA? We need a spot equidistant from everybody*. So, start digging people. See you at the centre of the world in November.


*Well, more or less, Earth not being a perfect sphere an' all

Next year in Alpha Centauri! *clinks glass*

We should definitely preserve Burning Man's friendly attitude toward being pantless, mind you. Because writers, helloooo... **sprawls comfortably**

PARTY PARTY PARTY



Oh, wait, you meant IN November...

*slowly puts the party emotes away**pats box* Laaater.

Whatever we decide, I think we should all donate $10 to the site in November to commemorate our 10th Anniversary.

*Wonders how many Pies I should make for the party*

Hey you guys!!! I just realized that as of November 2016, I'll have been running AW for TEN YEARS!

We should TOTALLY have some kind of party...or a big writing contest...or SOMETHING!

Happy Ten Years as El Jefe AW Anniv--

Oh, wait. I need to wait another eight and a half months.

*subscribes to thread*

I believe the tenth anniversary is traditionally the Cake and Ice Cream and Chocolate and Pizza and Leather Anniversary.

In all seriousness, I can't believe it's been almost ten years since Jenna gave you the keys to AW. It definitely doesn't feel like it's been that long. I was so young back then.

Wow, it's been around for that long? That's amazing. I wish I knew about it then lol

Actually, I believe AW first started in 2003? I might be wrong on that count... But the earliest join date you'll see is in 2005, because that's when the system was updated, or something like that. But yeah... I *think* this all started in 2003. (Not that I was around back then, mind you...)

*starts putting together a 24-hour playlist for the big day*

November . . . NaNoWriMo . . . We should all write a novel series like The Boxcar Kids or Babysitters Club -- The Absolute Write books -- except some of them are for kids, some are erotic, some are Clancyesque thrillers or Lesbian foursome porcupine BDSM, or some combination thereof -- If even a fraction of us did that we'd end up getting in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most novels written in one universe.

*goes back to the bad idea drawing board*

Drawing up a legal agreement for royalties on universe-related merchandise tie-ins might be a bit hairy, though.
