Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Hahaha, we definitely have to have a badfic contest again. I eagerly await the sequel to Jenna's masterpiece from last year.

Following on from what Nell said, stuff like the caption contest was very good, because it didn't really involve artistic talent, per se. ort The random fact quiz was also great, and I'd be happy to see that make a return.

Probably most looking forward to another original short story contest, as that's likely to be one of the few things I'd enter. Maybe also have some kind of Temple-verse fic contest (can't remember if that was a category last year...), that'd open up a lot of possibilities and get a lot of entries, I think, especially if people are allowed to do Rumble-verse stuff.

Hey gang, it was suggested that I do a panel about theatre for Belinsk. I'm certainly game, but I'd like to know what sort of theatre stuff might be of interest to y'all. Like... plays as text, plays as performances? Straight drama or musical comedies? Actually working in the theatre? My thoughts on various musicals? Seriously, AMA.

I mentioned this briefly last year, but I would like to see a bigger emphasis on 'community' over 'arts' - which is not to say, nix all the creative forum stuff, but rather, have some events/activities that people who don't consider themselves to be traditionally creative or artistic can participate in. Maybe some Skype games, or like, that random fact quiz thing I did last year, which I can always do again if people are willing to submit a second random fact about themselves ...? And broadening the artist/community spotlight thing to include other projects, such as gaming streams, or whatever people work on in their own time that may not traditionally be considered 'art'.

This is mostly for the benefit of the multiple people I talked to last year who either felt excluded or imposed their own isolation from anything to do with Belinsk, because it was seen to be cliquey, or self-indulgent, or mastubatory, or just because they didn't consider themselves to be artistic - so, if what I'm suggesting this doesn't seem like it's going to assuage any of those concerns (either in theory, or in practice because people say 'I'm really just going to ignore Belinsk anyway'), then feel free to let it drop.

Also, I'm trying to think up some good panel ideas, but don't have any so far.
I'd like to see this too, and it'd be great if there could also be more interaction between the two "types" of events and stuff, in a way that it's not going to just be cliquey and divided again. The idea behind Belinsk has always been for it to be a community festival and it'd be cool if we could integrate more of that aspect in.

Part of that -- especially to people who are either new users or haven't participated in the past, if you've got an idea, even if it doesn't seem to fit into the theme, or if you'd like to be running something, please please let us know! We're still talking about how things should be run behind the scenes, which mostly involves the organization and such, but when it comes to the events and the ideas, new ones are what keep this going, and keep it fresh and fun for everyone.

As just a heads up, look forward to either an upcoming topic or a skype chat (or both!) where we can have some more discussion about what we can do together this year! That's going to be open to anybody interested.
I love these ideas. I would love to see different people's artwork, fanfiction, etc., but since I'm not doing much in the way of artsy now (besides singing, and I have a terrible mic right now) I would still love to participate! Random facts and skype calls sound like a great idea, and I remember doing some stuff like that in '11 or '10. Can't remember now.

Also, I would like to be added to the Temple of Kraden Skype chat so that I don't stay in the dark about happenings. ._.

My Skype name is jo-chan687.

And yes, I would love to participate in the main chat and also be kept up to date on the Belinsk planning. :3 I want to see if there's something I can/would like to participate in this year.
