makeashrineTo my delight, some participants have linked to the marathon on their collective to declare what they're up to. In one case, that has even directly led to a sign-up! (Thanks, ichiharas!)
That got me thinking: In the fansite sphere, event buttons such as the ones currently up on the site are typically uploaded as a badge of honour after submitting your site, to show that you participated in an event (which may even have inspired the site/design in the first place) and made it to the finish line, and to direct visitors to fellow event creations. Naturally, such buttons can just as well be used to inform about your current activity (and to advertise the event), as in the case mentioned above… But what if we had fun lil graphics specifically for that?
I don't know about the future, but it so happens that there are Neo-Queen Serenity sprites (from the game Sailor Moon: Another Story!) that would make nice status buttons for the current event. :D I think it unlikely that I'll have time to make pixel buttons, blinkies etc., but I'm posting the sprites here in case anyone would like to make some. They could say something like: current status: our kingdoms eternal marathon.
The sprites are from The Spriters Resource if you need the original files or want to browse other elements. Any status buttons without Sailor Moon theme are most welcome too!
If you make any buttons and share them here, I'll upload them to the event site – and the more, the merrier. :) That aside, I'd love to hear if there's any interest in such buttons in general (namely for future shrine events).
