The time has come! Or more probably, it's better to get this out of the way before the season, because I very much doubt we're going to accomplish ANYTHING productive until September! Because of hype. HYPE I tell you.

So...JB Week is happening, and the theme this round will be THE FAMILY JEWELS. *snicker*

Day1 - Silver
Day 2 - Gold / Focus on Gifsets and Mood Boards
Day 3 - Obsidian / Focus on Fanart
Day 4 - Ruby / Focus on Videos and Doll Stories
Day 5 - Emerald / Focus on Endgame Fun!
Day 6 - Sapphire / Focus on Fic
Day 7 - Valyrian Steel

There will be many more events and challenges during the week, but this is what you can "prep" for if you want to create new things! We'll have a Family Jewels round robin starting on Silver Day, and a BRAND NEW activity that will probably be super crazy because US.

The big question is...WHEN? It's looking like the best-case final season scenario is fall of '18, so do we want to enjoy JB week at the normal time and do other things over the hiatus to fill the void, or do we want to push JB week to a different time?

With a lull in news, it's a great time to let your creativity FLOW.

You know what I'm saying, I'm saying JB WEEK is coming.

Do one thing today, be it start a sketch, write two sentences of fic, choose a couple photos for a gifset..just one thing each day :)

I think I might have three or four full length fics for appreciation week. I'm working on getting seven but that might not happen with work being insane.

Thanks for the reminder, Mikki. Is there a way the dates could be added to the first post in the thread (for those who don't have JB Week marked on their calendars yet)? (And maybe have the first post top every page of the thread, as I have noticed you guys sometimes do in the past?) It took a bit of skimming through the first page to find the actual dates.

So excited to hear there will be some lovely new JB fics to read in the near future! :tarth: <3 :lannister: :dance:

Tricky, that only works for the entire forum. So you can't just change one thread :)

October 1 is when it starts.

The themes are for inspiration, but if you're inspired by something else, that's ALL GOOD.

Let's just celebrate and enjoy JB!

Now it's six!

Do we have an A03 group thing set up so I can't start adding for future dates as I'm going to be really busy during appreciation week itself?

For following purposes :)

I am reblogging old JB Week stuff.

I have over 200 things queued. The tag is #jb week memories
http://jaimebrienneonline.tumblr.com/tagged/jb-week-memories

And I am not reblogging my own drabbles, or the fic, because I blogged the fic collections already. Seriously, if you follow me on tumblr, your dash is going to be flooded :)

You go Mikki!!!!

I've decided to use this year's JBweek to blog/post my own stuff from AO3 on tumblr. I've never done that before, but what the hell!

Does this mean that I need to revive my tumblr to spread and join the awesomeness?
Damn... Actually sounds like a good reason! :p

Anyone want to enlighten the n00b how JB Week works, other than me getting to read a whole bunch of new fanfic and drool over beautifully made fanvids? I saw the request for prompts and wouldn't mind taking a look at those. I've not written fanfic in about 10 years, but I'm really thinking about giving it a go this time.

I really wanted to take some new pictures of my funko pop figures for J/B week, but my work is INSANE this week. I do have a backlog of stuff that I have never shared here, so maybe I'll at least get around to posting that.
I have a custom season 2/3 Jaime funko pop I am working on that I am trying to get done by J/B Week, but we'll see. :headwall:

Same here on the workload issues, BluHamster. Would not have guessed it would be the case at this point in the year. :( Good luck on sharing some of your backlog stuff!

The new photo shoot pictures in the NCW thread have also reminded me of something I was meaning to ask well ahead of JB Week (and obviously forgot)...Does anyone have suggestions of image sites that allow third party hosting for free? I do not post my photos a ton, but I like to every once in a while either in a blog post or on a message board. (For example, I have pics of trips to Iceland and especially Croatia that I was thinking of sharing with GoT related sights I visited...) I used Photobucket for this for quite a few years but got a notification a few months ago that I would need to upgrade to a different type of account to continue to do this. Is that typical for pretty much all image hosting sites or are there ones that you can still join and do this for free? Thanks for any advice.
