Mod Post: BIG PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT, Rules change, Community Housekeeping

Happy Birthday, Remus Lupin! May you spend your day snuggled up tight with your favourite Potions master. And may we all get to watch! ~_^

Lupin_Snape 5th Anniversary Activities:

Announcing the Snupineer Funtime Activity Project!
This project is our big community project, to be released on our Anniversary. That means this project has a quick turn-around deadline of April 1. It will be a free download of Snupin-based activities ranging from colouring pages to any and all games we can think of - the project is designed to be one in which even long-time lurkers could participate.

Any rating will be welcome - we will make PG13 and PG15 versions.
Duplicates welcome - If we have more than one Word Search or Paper Doll, etc., they will all go in ("lore's paper dolls").
Multiple submissions welcome - If you want more than one piece included, send them along.
Anonymous submissions welcome, but not encouraged - We want to give credit wherever it's due, but if you have an issue, please let us know in email.

File Formats - Adobe PDF most welcome (here's the Adobe page with 5 free creations), Word, In-Design, Microsoft Publisher, etc. Be prepared to lose your fonts if you give us anything but a PDF file. Other formats - Please ask!
ETA: As asked here, I can always take art as an image and drop it into one of my many programs myself, so if you just want to mail me TIFF or JPEG files (300 dpi preferred for flexibility), feel free!

Ideas:
Colouring Pages - Black and White Line Drawings (these can be from existing art or created new)
Paper Dolls - If anyone wants to share a template early for others to make outfits, please do (colour welcome)
Games - Any and all kids, with some suggestions and creators linked below (colour welcome)
Trivia - Question sets, can be general or specific (book canon, fanon, cliches, etc.), 20 - 50 questions.
Clip Art - A page of Snupiny objects either in photo or drawn form (print on sticker paper, for example, colour welcome)
Madlibs - Fill-in-the-blanks of a story for humourous results

Examples of games you could create:
Which Silhouette?
Italian version of the Rebus
Traditional Word Finds
Word Finds with Shapes
Rebus
Find the Differences
Connect the Dots
Crosswords
Mazes

Entries should be mailed as attachments in an email to the community email address. Deadline is April 1, and that needs to be firm. If you have something started and a good excuse, write me rather than letting it go, but please don't procrastinate. The deadline is tight, but there are suggestions here for everyone from artists to lurkers, so I hope many of you will participate and be submitting throughout the rest of this month.

ETA: Please send an answer key with any games or puzzles you submit. Even a scanned image of your own solving of the puzzle on paper is welcome.

Community Rules Update - PLEASE READ:
I updated the Community Rules to reflect that we take R and NC17 posts here on Lupin_Snape now. Posting and cross-posting to

bymoonlight is still welcome, as are links to posts on

bymoonlight.

I also added a new rule 4.5, which states: Posts that are off-topic and have any version of "the mods can delete this if they want" in the text will be deleted and the user will be banned. Exceptions to this rule may be made at the moderators' discretions.

I don't like having to add such a rule, then again, I also don't like the anger I feel whenever someone takes advantage of the community by posting without reading the rules and expecting us to clean up after him/her. If you are not sure if a post will be on-topic, the community email is on the rules page, so please use it. Answers are usually given within a day and at many times within minutes. Thank you to the 99.99% of you who don't need this spelled out - you're all aces!

Housekeeping:
Trading Places is still wrapping up. A few authors never received art, even though they gave stories. If any artists are looking for one last challenge, please drop me an email at the community email address. The wonderful

senjy is all ready with the masterlist whenever we get the last pieces in.

I need a Cliche Month master list, and if anyone wants to tackle the birthdays from this year, please let me know.

Family Fest prompts are still open until I post them, which should be just after Remus' Birthday. If you have any art or darkfic ideas, they would help fill a hole in ideas.

List of Things Your Mod Needs To Do
Put Up Masterlists. Yes, I have a few backlogged.
Put up new Chat Room info. Thanks to

diana_moon for them!
Edit Links Lists on Both comms.
Update community info once Family Fest is up.
Put Lupin_Snape Mood Theme on IJ.
Get OpenID info together for posting.
Get polling together for 5th Anniversary!

Don't forget to tag your posts! Anyone can use existing community tags for any post.

Am I forgetting anything housekeeping-wise? Don't be afraid to tell me, I feel like I am... ^_^

love, lore

	Lore, Tell me what to do (and how to do it, in great detail, because I have a hard time understanding instructions), and I'll do it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Do you want to try and do Cliche Month? It's pretty much the same way you did the Prophet, all we need are Title, Author, Rating in that order. If you could separate Fic, Drabbles and Art that would be super.

The trick is that you have to sometimes be a bit sleuth-y, checking stories that maybe aren't clearly marked for the challenge in the subject line (like they are supposed to be). Usually the author's notes on the story will mention the challenge. And you can check into this month for late entries. Any piece marked for Cliche month on either IJ or LJ

lupin_snape should be linked. Email me your coded document as text to the mod mail or the one you've used before for me.

If you're up to this, let me know! If not and someone else sees this post and wants to take a whack at it, please reply. I think the Cliche Month list will be fairly short.

love, lore

	Kay, I'll get to it after I get back from the 50 min. class I'm about to go to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just did a list too...they can compare them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm stealing your rule 4.5 for every community I run, because OMG I can't stand that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lore 2008-03-10 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	Feel free! I know I'm over letting people walk all over the Lupin_Snape communities because they're too lazy or rude to take 30 seconds to read the rules. Harrrumph! love, lore (Reply to this) (Parent)

	pervert_bitch 2008-03-10 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds like fun. I hope I can submit something, even if it's one Colouring Pages :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lore 2008-03-10 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	Most of those game links take you to creation sites, so it should be easy for everyone to participate. I am hoping the colouring pages make up a solid section, though! What's a funtime book without them? ~_^ love, lore (Reply to this) (Parent)

	lore 2008-03-30 11:09 am UTC (link)
	The deadline for this is fast approaching if you were still thinking about participating. HUGS Thanks! love, lore (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pervert_bitch 2008-03-31 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I have just send it... Such a silly girl, I did the drawings but forgot to scan them and PDF them :P (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dingochow 2008-03-10 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	Can you accept an image in an image format, say a TIFF, for a coloring page? If so, what size would you like, and do you want a printable version, at say 300 dpi, as well? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lore 2008-03-10 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Oh sure, I can put art files in a program, no problem! How about 8 inches x 10.5 inches, vertical or horizontal is fine. It couldn't hurt to have a 300 DPI version, especially if someone is sending a JPG, and TIFF is even better. I can always resample art to 150 or 72 if needs be because of size issues. Good question! Thanks for asking! HUGS love, lore (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dingochow 2008-03-10 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks-- it's mostly finished and should trim up nicely. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lore 2008-03-30 11:08 am UTC (link)
	Hi! I was wondering if you ever sent anything in for this? Maybe I missed it.... Thank you! love, lore (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bonfoi 2008-03-10 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	Just e-mailed you a list of the 2008 Cliché Month Art and Fics that I could sift out of the list. (Reply to this)

	bonfoi 2008-03-11 12:00 am UTC (link)
	Word search...I did those for the newspaper in college all the time. (Reply to this)

	julythirtyfirst 2008-03-11 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	This sounds fun! Hopefully I'll be able to send in one or two images for the coloring pages. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lore 2008-03-30 11:07 am UTC (link)
	Hello! The deadline is fast approaching. Were you thinking of doing this still? g love, lore (Reply to this) (Parent)

	blpaintchart 2008-03-13 01:32 pm UTC (link)
	I've just sent my quiz to you. Thought I'd mention it here just in case it tries to spam itself again! ;) (Reply to this)

	pikkalam_sri 2008-03-15 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	This project sounds like so much fun! I sketched something for coloring and am working on a crossword puzzle now :P Thanks for the links! (Reply to this)
