JB Appreciation Week 2017!

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?

JB Week, just make stuff and post it. We have themes which are guidelines here:

Sunday, October 1 - Silver / Start the week off RIGHT with the ultimate Shipper Supercut Groupwatch (featuring no Cersei, two bare asses, and two time zones!)

Monday, October 2 - Gold / Post new Gifsets and Mood Boards / Share your favorite set made by someone else! / Crack Talk: 101 Uses for Jaime's Golden Hand

Tuesday, October 3 - Obsidian / Post new Fanart / Share your favorite art made by someone else / Challenge: make art that illustrates a prompt...in 60 minutes!

Wednesday, October 4 - Ruby / Make new Videos and Doll Stories / Share someone's video or doll story that gives you feels / Fan Video and Interview Groupwatch!

Thursday, October 5 - Emerald / Awesome Meta and Endgame Fun! / Share meaningful meta, give us your 100% CONFIRMED endgame spec! /

Friday, October 6 - Sapphire / Post ALL THE FIC (I mean, post every day, but post MORE today, duh) / Comment on Three Fics you've never commented on / Really Dumb Fic-a-Thon: post one oddball ASoIaF/GoT character, and the next person has to write one paragraph of JB fic from that character's POV! Lol.

Saturday, October 7 - Valyrian Steel / Nostalgia day! / Share the first thing you ever read or looked at or heard in shipper fandom! / Bring back the first thing you ever made! / Share three goofy, weepy, snarky, lovely moments you've experienced on the Good Ship JB / Major hype chat of hype!


Week-Long Events!

The Family Jewels Round Robin Fic - You all knew it was happening. Prepare yourselves for the crazy. The theme is THE CROWN.

The JB Scavenger Hunt: Deep Alliance Edition! - Each day, you'll get a clue that leads somewhere in the realm of ship fandom. If you figure out the clue, you'll find one scrambled word, and at the end of the week, you'll have a full phrase of scrambled words that will give you...well, you'll see. You might need a maester for this one!


Do as much or as little as you want :)

Imgur is what I use and haven't had problems yet. There are fewer and fewer hosts that cooperate with rational humans now.

There are usually two group watches. One for the Euros and one for the Americans.


Americans do their watch at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Euros...?

Waaaaiiiiiit, Groupwatch is schedules for Sunday!??
PERFECT!!!
And here I was, starting a major poll among the EuroWatch regulars because I won't be here on Monday, our normal day.

Ok... I'll send out another bunch of ravens PMs and post the result here! :D

(When will I learn to read, instead of thinking? Damnit!)

We go onto daylight savings / summer time this weekend, so have to re-do all my timezone calculations and settings! :(

Hmmm - according to my searches, I think this means that Sundays 10PM Eastern Standard Time = Mondays 1pm Australian Eastern Summer Time, which means I may or may not make it, depending on commitments. And 10pm Sundays Eastern European Time = 7am Mondays our time. Which is definitely possible for me, as long as I have coffee!

Ok, EuroWatch team got it all sorted out - finally! :D

Sunday & Wednesday, 9.30pm CEST / 3.30pm EST / 6.30am AEDT! (Because of workdays, being all adult and responsible and all that jazz...)

Europe is in daylight saving time mode until 29th of October.
USA & Canada will switch modes on 5th of November.
Africa doesn't have that - Marion, we'll need to keep that in mind.

I'm sorry, Curra... But you know the rituals - lots of time for you to get coffee before the actual watching begins ;)

Thanks to Marion and Quinn for the tip on Imgur! I'll have to check them out.

I've been fighting off illness the last few days, so my simple contribution will have to be posting reviews of some stories I've admired and not responded to in the past. But there's a JB project I've been working on for a long time that I really needed a place to host pictures in order to share, so I am hoping to make headway on that during the hiatus.

I am looking forward to some JB goodies to help me recover from this bug, though! :yes:

Once again superQuinn and the supercut was the toast of the Eurowatchers. I was too slow to catch all the fangirling in one screenshot but here is a sample

We also NEED to know which (amazing) version of Hands of Gold you chose for the outro track?
