Hi all! I need your input, thoughts, comments and good advice on what we can do to improve the Quirk Naming Ceremony. Don't hestiate or hold back.

Nevermore has gotten things started with some great ideas:

Graybonnie, one of the things I was thinking is when we started, the whole site was new and no one had a quirk name so "mass baptism" seemed in order. Now we have new people dribbling in from time to time, it seems to take forever to get a huge group together. All you really need is two at any given time, each naming each other. It might sustain interest more and keep things moving along if we let any two go forward.

It would also be tres neat if we could have a dedicated gallery for this. I have kept a list of all layouts posted to date. Might be mega work for Becky but maybe if need be I could get temp privileges or something and I would be happy to do the moving of the old ones.

I have no problem with the old threads but it would be a good idea to rewrite and start fresh with a stickied thread for ease of reference. Maybe then have each new group (even if only two) have their own thread so anyone can follow the process of them through the ceremony.

I would update the links in my list of names if the layouts got moved.

I think it would be cool, too, if everyone updated their User Profile to indicate their quirk name.

Just a few thoughts for now. Any other quirkers wanna chime in?

So do you agree with Nevermore or is there some other aspect of the ceremony that needs attention?

I've added a Naming Ceremony Gallery. I can't give anyone admin privileges, but everyone CAN move their own layouts into the new gallery, and I can go back and find any that don't get moved.

I definitely think we need one thread for this process. Can we combine information from all the various stickied threads?

Just wanted to remind everyone that you have three cards to move to the new gallery: the one where you named yourself, the one where you named someone else, and the one where you combined the names.

I love that we have one gallery for all of these. It really makes it so much easier to see the progression.

I have tried to keep on top of this to keep my list of links to the final layout (where the quirker puts her two names together) current and that list is stickied. I have edited it going forward but if anybody knows of a full quirk name not on the list, please let me know.

Thanks for the admin stuff, Becky, very much appreciated. I will move mine! (I guess I will have to ask Donna to move the second one for me since it is in her gallery. I am further guessing that she has probably already done that...)

Becky - thanks for posting all the change notices. I'm guessing for those folks who's second name was created by someone who is now MIA you will be able to move. Should we ask everyone to post here who may need some assistance?

All of the remaining art for the Quirk Naming Ceremony has been moved into the new gallery. If you see a stray somewhere, let me know and I'll move it!

It was actually a lot of fun to go back and see what we did--we should all be very proud of our Quirkhood.

Decided I cannot live without your new kit. Gonna go grab it. Are the papers on your blog that you are giving away part of the kit or in addition to?

Nevermind, I went back and read it! Downloading now. But can't find the kit in the store. Will look harder.

Nevermind, I had to refresh! Found it.
