Broken Ghost

Curious to know if anyone wanted to meet up for the PiViP festival at King’s Island on May 18!!!

After all! Mark, Bob, and Wade are gonna be there!!

If anyone is interested let me know and I’ll send out a Discord sever invite!

Okay guys… while writing the next few chapters of ‘Chaos’ (which will be posted SOON), my brain came up with an idea that I just couldn’t wait to try….

I’m going to give you the chance to have your own story with any of the JSE egos in my universe AND any established characters (Olsen, Stacey, Sammi, Peter, The Creature, etc.). If you want a story, please send me an ask… this applies to anyone who follows my blog or loves my stories.

Now… as you guys know, I’m good at writing angst, so expect that in your stories. Also, I want to keep your story as a surprise… with the prompts you pick AND if you make it or not. 😉

If you are interested, send me an ask! All I require is that you send me these four things…

1)The name you want (please let it be a name).

2) the egos/characters you want.

3)pick a number between 1 and 150 (up to three numbers can be picked).

4) Heads or Tails

This is exciting! Please reboot or share. If you want to try this for yourselves, go ahead! I’ll message you what the last two choices are… but after a while, I assume all of you will know. 😉😁

Good luck, gamers! PMA!

This is serious people

Please read this post VERY, VERY THOROUGHLY. It is all incredibly important and will answer like 90% of current questions our admins are getting.

DEADLINES & SUBMISSIONS -A TIMELINE:

Musicians & Singers

All musician roles (both instruments and singers) have a sign-up deadline of April 15. After this, if you want to contribute, we’ll take you on in another capacity until other deadlines limit those.

It’s fine if you can’t be super active between then and recording, but if you want in, we have to KNOW by then. Recording deadlines are below.

Instrument-musician roles seeking a solo have a deadline of April 6 to present why you’re a bawss and can be worked in for a solo.

Between these dates and the end of April, our Music Directors are finalizing writing and distributing the sheet music to incorporate everybody.

Recording will come in May. We have a tentative projected deadline for these recordings at the end of May, meaning recording for instruments and singers will be May 1-May 31, give-or-take.

Contributors

If you are planning to submit a video to this project aside from the above, we’ll be taking these from April 15 through May 31st. After this, our video editors will begin our long and arduous process.

If you are expecting a video shortly after this deadline (like, you’re gonna meet your 10 year digital BFF at a con, or something, early June), contact us.

Ping the Video Editors and let them know, and we WILL discuss that and be willing to hold a spot for you within reason.The above point also covers if you’re planning to arrange a con-choir akin to how we’re cooperating with DarkLight in Paris. If your convention date is past this, but you at least get a confirmed schedule before the general submission deadline is past, let us know and we’ll hold a place for your con-choir. Please note this is only for con-sized events, not small individual groups. 

If you personally orchestrate a gathering of friends singing the song outside of our digital choir, standard submission dates apply.

As-before, we’re looking for major life events or super wild things this fandom has done to encourage you to live life. Crazy GISH vids are encouraged. Emotional meetings. Etc. But if you wanna just flex that SPN tat you got in a two second video clip to show it off, that works too.

So to clarify: Submissions for video content will open April 15 and close May 31, with the above exception. 

If you are submitting static/unmoving art for use in the video, we will use it as best we can. Not all art will be able to make it into the video. Art that does not make it into the video will be included in a zine. This zine will have PDF format and be printed out to be presented to the crew. We don’t have the financials to make it open distribution/printing and we’re not gonna beg for money to do so, but in everybody here leaving with a copy of the zine, you can all find your own resources to print it individually so you will always have a copy of this, and of course – yes, we’re going to make sure the crew gets it.

Art submission deadlines for video inclusion mirror video submission deadlines (Apr15 - May31). However, please see “The Zine” below.

News on how to submit will be provided when submissions are open. Please do not ask until then, for my sanity.

Dev Team Our dev team is everything from music directors, sound mixers, and video editors. Once music & singing recording is completed around the end of May, early June becomes their terrain. The end of the year is our goal to have the video project finished – which may sound excessive, but we’re going to be dealing with several hundred tracks of video alone, much less audio clean-up and so forth. Those will be five-to-six very busy months for our post-production crew, so the above deadlines are incredibly important. There will be no specific deadline in signing up for any related post-production team elements because, let’s face it, if somebody shows up in August and thinks they can help with sound or video, odds are, they probably can. We’ll update you if this changes.

The Zine The zine itself is going to handle overflow from the video and accept longer contributions. We don’t have a specific date on it beyond wanting it done by the end of January. If you miss the video submission deadline for art, we can still include it in a tribute also intended to be delivered to the crew. We do not yet have a decided deadline on this, and will update as we get a better idea of our future horizon.

Art is not to have shippy content, but should be designed in a fair and balanced display of the crew. Team Free Will, Found Family, undersung heroes, and yes, Sam and Dean. And hell, Dean and Cas, as long as that’s an ampersand and not a slash, if you feel me. But please also respect that we don’t want a bunch of “gen” representation of a specific ship alone, either. Because I know the Destiel fandom is a tentacle monster of love, and extremely digitally engaged. So it’s something to keep in mind. If too much of a specific duo is submitted, it’ll be on zine handlers to consider what to use and what to not, and we don’t want anybody’s stuff getting disregarded!

That said, if you want in as a musician or singer, even if you can’t contribute RIGHT NOW, now is the time to climb into the server. Just be available to record some time in May.

And of course, as always, the discord link >> https://discord.gg/y3TGebk

Mar 28, 2019 – Update

So this has been… impressive. First of all let it be said, we’ll still be accepting new entrants until at least the night of the season 14 finale for most roles. After that, some may be limited.

As always, feel free to hop into the Discord server. << Link

This is a list of the currently available base roles (and an idea of how many of each we have at the time of this post!). You can sign up for these with Chuckbot automatically on joining.

Musicians - Those who plan to take part in the instrumental arrangement. This may include those who play an instrument, those who can read/arrange music, or those who have orchestral experience. Or any others who fit into this category! (18)

If you have special skills in the area, like sound mixing, music theory, voice coaching, composing or transposing, let us know and we’ll manually promote you to another role like Music Director (4)

Singers - Those who will be acting as vocalists of any kind. Singers of all experience levels and ranges.(99)

Once you join the singer group, you’ll find a pin to test your base vocal range (if you don’t know.) Show the result and a TL, Manager or Admin will set you into that range for future tracking/pings/organizing

If you have particular skill in singing, ability to read sheet music, understanding of music theory and self confidence, check if your voice range has a team leader. Team leaders will test early composition harmonics with other team leaders and make “guide” videos once we have our composition set.

Developers - Sound, video, or other development experts. The ones who will put it all together and help with the technical bits along the way. (14)

This kinda crosspollinates with some other crews depending on what you can contribute so speak up in the group and let us know.

Signers - d/Deaf folks who will be signing. Please don’t assign this role to yourself if you are hearing. If you are hearing and would like to contribute, please get in touch with Crypto, the Signer Team Leader. (4? this one is being discussed)

Contributors - Those who wish to contribute in another way, such as doing art or contributing words of gratitude, etc. Or neat videos of inspirational things this fandom has encouraged you to do (crazy gish moments, awesome meet ups, things people normally wouldn’t call “art”) (42)

Once you’re in, let us know if you do art or writing so we can eventually slim this down into managed groups and pick team leaders for these roles as well.

We have 17 translators covering a bunch of countries if somebody needs help communicating.

Also, if you wish to make a group effort on your end, let us know. For example, we have a “DarkLight” team for DarkLight Con in Paris that has their own channel and are planning to make a group choir out of… most of the con. Let us know your groups, we’ll set you up a channel for you to participate in the respective category (like Singers) while still being able to coordinate both among yourselves and with any other dev teams.

For those just tuning in, this started as the idea of a few people singing “Carry on my Wayward Son”. That’s still the idea, but we’re about to Peter Hollins up this bitch plus some instrumentals and a message of what this show and crew has done to improve your life, what it has helped you create, and what it has helped you do. There’s already talk of potential overflow projects and followups to other big “fandom songs”, but of course, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Hah.

“What do you say?”

So I’m working on mapping out a sendoff project to give J2M but the concept alone is “not just me,” in fact, it’s all of you.

Some of y’all know I make videos. I’m not a huge channel or anything but it’s what I do. And so the idea struck me and the wife, similar to the Fanfiction episode choir: Carry On My Wayward Son

NOTE: THIS IS A LONG TERM GOAL AND NOT AN IMMEDIATE DEADLINE SO IF YOU CAN’T RIGHT AWAY, THAT’S FINE.

But the CONCEPT is getting as many of us as possible to sing “Carry On My Wayward Son” to collab into a choir video with a few special flares.

I’d also love to get:

A few people willing to get together to re-create the music for the song. No lyrics. Just the music. We want the original style at original time signature, peppy and upbeat. I KNOW this fandom has musical talent, we’ve seen it before. If you know someone who can do this PLEASE tag them to check this post.

Next, we’ll need as many people as possible to sing to the music. Requirements for recording for the video are as follows:

You must record in a quiet room and have no music audible, but you may wear head phones or whatever you need to be able to hear the song so you can keep up. We only want YOUR voice!  Record in the quietest room you can with your best audio available but if the quality suffers I CAN try to fix it. 

We would like at least one, preferably 2 or 3 people to sign the song in ASL.

IMPORTANT NOTES

You do NOT need to have a perfect singing voice, it will be presented choir style once I can shuffle edit it around to harmonize. If you feel like you sing like a banshee that’s OKAY because only my ears will bleed and I’m fine with that.

When you record, dress like you’re about to meet J2M at a con. Try to look like, nice ish.  Cosplay is more than welcome. Do not record your video looking like you just crawled out of bed, please.

This is a goal to do long term by the series finale so we have time to get traction, so if you feel like you can input AT ALL in the next YEAR, please sign on so I can tag you.

If you don’t want to sing, you are welcome to submit a blurb to J2M, cast, and crew to thank them for the 15 years they have given us. This blurb must be 250 characters or less, as it will only appear briefly on screen. Fanart is also welcome. Absolutely NOTHING shippy if you are going to submit fanart or dialogue, and you must thank the ENTIRE cast and crew in your submission.

I’ll also make a discord server to help stay in contact. It won’t be MANDATORY to join the server but it will be HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. It will not be a HIGHLY ACTIVE server (probably unless you guys are chatterboxes) but will be used for pings to remind people of deadlines as time starts creeping up on us. I have a feeling this year will go by quicker than we think.

I’m considering opening said discord server to also help support other projects “going out”, such as participants in AO3 Season 16 or @destielfanficseason16 wherein we can bundle artists, authors, editors, betas, etc into groups to help ping people for more live time engagement than hoping everybody gets active notifs on this storm of a hellsite. If managers from such projects join the discord they will be granted admin privileges etc to also help moderate their respective teams.

Please leave a comment-note that you are interested or a reblog note to match, please reblog to signal boost. There’s a few steps along the way before anybody starts recording their singing.

We have a year. Let’s make the most of it.

THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER (LINK) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

When you join, go to #project-assignments and select your role(s). YOU CAN BE MORE THAN ONE. This sets you on a ping-relay when related assignments to your task come up.

Managers: People working with teams. Examples would be the head of a GISH choir, or if project managers for related fanfiction projects come in.

Musicians: To coordinate how to play out and record our own recording of it

Dev Team: Sound, video, or other development experts that we can all sort of refine and master our work over the next year.

Sign Team: DO U EVEN SIGN BRO. We’ll contact you later to know what form of signing you know (ASL, BSL, AUSLAN, etc). Absolutely 100% preferred to be actual deaf-person representation so please don’t just sign on because you learned it

Contributors: For people that can’t or don’t want to do any of the other roles but want to submit related art, blurbs of gratitude, etc.

Pardon the dust. I’ve got some backup on the way while we sort out channels, right now we’re kind of getting an estimated head count of what magnitude we’re about to have to work on this with. In the next couple of days we’ll be refining things like posting permissions in channels and designing designated channels for each type of creator in.

We will NOT be actively delegating tasks until after the season 14 finale, with the exact date to be determined. I’ll @ everyone with announcements as they come and @ role types with designated responses. But for now we need to just get a raw vat of bodies to consider who is available for what before we even START assigning collaboration.

IF YOU ARE A CREATOR AND THINK YOU CAN HELP, YOU PROBABLY CAN. Discord is available on most phones and computers, so even if you aren’t a big user, load it up so we can ping things better than spam tagging on tumblr, please. For my sanity. Omg.
