1.) Would you like to see more Contests in general?
-Contests are good, but what I'd truly prefer is a means of giving our artists more of an incentive to communicate outside of the artist topics. We don't have many artists that comment on things other than art. Maybe adding a point system or shop (sounds far-fetched I know.) But let's say the site had a shop and its own currency, Raider points. A writer looking to have their MC drawn out in concept form or in a full body simple background theme could open a post offering 5000 raider points ($5) for a black and white version of their character. They could pay the artist, the artist could then go to the MR Store which could have items such as drawing paper or things like that, and order it. I know I'm making it sound way easier than it is but that's just my thought.
2.) Would you like there to be a theme for the contests on a monthly basis? (e.g. December could be Xmas
themed, October Halloween, February Romance, March Action themed etc.? )
Yeah.
3.) Would you like to see more Artist Contests?
I'd like to see more participants. Raider points to the winner! (I kid)
4.) Would you prefer a competition to be Fan art or original artwork?
Doesn't matter.
5.) Would you like to see more Writers Contests?
Definitely. I'd like to see a contest where one writer and one artist are paired together. The writers job is to write a one to two paragraph summary of an original character and the artists job is to translate it. The winning team is determined by which group did the best job of bringing that character to life.
6.) Would you prefer one shot/short story competitions or extracts continuations of you own works?
Whichever.
7.) Would you like to see more Collaboration Contests?
That's all I'm preaching.
8.) Would you like to see more Competitions with prizes up for grabs?
Raider Points!!!!!
9.) What kind of prizes would you like to see from this list? Anime Merch/Manga Volumes/Drawing Equipment/DVD's/Winning an commissioned piece/Having your Artwork or story promoted? (Feel free to add anymore suggestions for prizes/rewards. Keep it realistic though, I'm willing to purchase prizes myself, but I'm not made of money :P)
Simple things... drawing paper for artists, maybe a small recorder for a writer so that if they are on the go and get an idea they can record it.
10.) Any other suggestions for Competitions?
I'd like to see more competitions involving the original character creations of our members. Maybe competitions between who is stronger, or personality comparisons.
Social Media:
11.) Would you like to see the Facebook/Twitter accounts to be more active?
Yup.
12.) What kind of content would you like to see on these? (Major anime/manga/site news, contests being promoted etc.)
Original content from our members. Every week there could be a link to the character of the week (artist), chapter of the week (writer) and Raider of the week (chosen by admins based off participation and stuff like that)
13.) Any other suggestions for Social Media?
Youtube Channel:
14.) Would you like to see more content on the Youtube Channel?
We have one?
15.) What kind of Content would you like to see on the Youtube Channel from this list? AMV's/Speed paints/Reviews/writing and art tutorials
Tutorials would be great, character studies, (60 second videos of members sharing the story of how they came up with a character or how an original character of theirs relates to them.) Maybe top 10 countdowns of things like best anime fights, relationships, original characters... all voted on by the members.
16.) Any other suggestions for the Youtube Channel?
MR weekly, where we can go and find out what mangas released new chapters during the week. Where the character/chapter and member of the week can briefly be promoted.
Misc.
17.) Any other feedback/suggestions on what you'd like to see from the community? (More use of skype, quizzes and games)
Dunno.
