Hello Everyone!

I know it’s been a minute since I’ve been on Tumblr - honestly the holidays are a busy time for all of us. 

I just wanted to give a little bit of an update on how the new SessKag site is coming along and talk about some of the progress that we have made, and some of the delays that we had had.

Originally, I announced the idea at the end of October 2021 and began doing fundraising for the project. The turnout and support from the community was really heartening and I am happy to announce that we raised enough funds for our initial build, and to cover  the costs/fees that come with creating a site. 

I had already been working on the project for about a month by that time, but the funding allowed for me to hire a website developer to help me with some of the things I wasn’t proficient at or didn’t have time to learn. Keep in mind that I work a full time job and have a family - so working on this project is definitely a passion, but there are times when other things take priority. 

I hired a web dev to create our fanfiction database and I built the base site myself, using the inputs from the community. For those that don’t know, there is a Pink Moon Observatory (PMO) discord server that has been taking in everyone’s ideas, thoughts, or suggestions. Below you’ll find the link if you’d like to join us! https://discord.gg/X68hnXRbbB 

Now, we did have some hiccups at the beginning of December; the web dev that I hired was no longer able to do the job. Which spurred on a new job posting from me and a new search to find someone to create our database. I did about 12 interviews and finally settled on our current web dev who’s been working diligently to meet our goals!

This did cause a slip in our timeline though. Our original plan was to have the PMO up and ready for the community by 1 Feb. Our current goal is to launch by 1 April 2022. The change in web dev meant we had to start from scratch and he’s had a ton of great ideas to help with ease of access and the user interface. 

But hey! We are still working like crazy to bring this idea and project to life! The goal is to create a one-stop shop for all things SessKag, and I honestly think the community is going to be thrilled with the result. 

Right now, we are going for a functional launch of our platform and ensure everything works right and well for the community. After that, we will plan continuous updates for the site and the database as a whole. I’m not looking to create something and just leave it as is - I really want a living, breathing, platform that continues to grow right along with its users. 

The PMO will be a long-term SessKag, community-based space.

Again, thank you to everyone who has supported the cause - by either well wishes or financially. I update as often as I can within the aforementioned discord server since Tumblr isn’t my usual platform. 

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns and I’ll be happy to answer them!

As an additional note - be on the lookout for some PMO Launch Day events and community outreach within the coming months! We’ve had some great ideas about how to build up the community and promote our new site.  Several people have asked about donating - we are still taking donations up until site launch. Here’s the link! Thank you. SessKag Site GoFundMe Page

2022 is the year of SessKag!

Hello Everyone!

Mod Chie and I have been discussing more events for the fandom and she had the fantastic idea to come up with a SessKag Fandom Appreciation Week! This event will be hosted right here through the SessKag Events blog. It will include a fun-filled week opened up to the fandom to express their - you guessed it - appreciation to others in the community! 

Event Date: 8-14 Nov 2021

Now you may be thinking to yourself: I wish I could find out more about my favorite content creators within the fandom to help show my appreciation! 

We were thinking the same thing! 

As part of the event, we will be conducting creator interviews based on YOUR suggestions. 

If you would like to participate, please fill out THIS FORM indicating:

- Which creator (artist or writer) you would like to have interviewed

- What questions you are dying to know the answers to (up to 5) 

Mod Chie and I will compose a list, interview those creators, and post their responses throughout the Appreciation Week! 

The last day to nominate creators is: Sunday, 17 Oct 2021

Be on the lookout for more information concerning this event as we draw closer to the event date!

The SessKag Awards’ nomination forms are now OPEN!
