A bullet journal girlie? Oh boy!

By now you'll know that I love a little bit of everything when it comes to hobbies, and my bullet journal is my rock in keeping accountable and responsible.

If you're saying "what's a bullet journal?" I highly recommend the Bullet Journal website for understanding the concept, and Pinterest for ideas once you've gotten the hang of the jargon! But for me, basically it's a combination of a planner, diary, and a calendar. Above is my first original spread!

Do you have a lot of family that maybe you forget to check in on? Maybe some friends who disappear for a few weeks, just like you do? Fear not! I have just the layout for you. Enter my "Comms Log."

You'll see that there's a blank spot on the left for names of family members juxtaposed against initials of the months for this year. Every month I check in on a family member or friend, I'm going to mark off that I did it with little green lines, like on an old sci Fi computer.

Anyway, I'm pretty proud of this, so if you try it, please let me know how it works for you!

Hehehe thank you! I'm glad you've been enjoying them. I was looking at how I used to promo a different tournament blog and noticed that I had ran into a similar predicament in the past--many slots still need to be filled + extension already given + still don't have enough sign-ups--and noticed that the memes WORKED and got us to 64 sign-ups in time so I figured. Why not do the same here. If it works, it works after all ^^ (Special thanks to @solar-systemm and @cosmiicats for helping me choose which memes to use btw!!)

I had already made a majority of the more "serious" graphics in advance so I'll still be using those. Though that does lead to a noticeable shift in tone between some posts XD

ALSO! YOU CAN STILL JOIN!! Your AU doesn't need to be fleshed out to submit it to the Collision. Getting to see an AU grow in real time is one of the fun parts about running this event. I actually have a post scheduled to post later today regarding what qualifies as something that can submitted to the Collision (with a meme attached of course, idea courtesy of Cosmic). As long as you can fill out the form, your AU is pretty much good to go! And if you're worried about the image section, I will literally accept it if you go into a document, type your AU Name, change it to a cool font (or don't), take a screenshot, and use that as your logo. Of course, in the end it's up to you whether you decide to join as a competitor or not, though I hope you enjoy AU Collision regardless! ^^

Omg, you’re so kind!! That makes me so so happy to hear 💖💖💖

It is definitely a lot to handle at once as the only one running the blog, but luckily this is my 4th time running an event like this! First two were @lmk-oc-competition (rip sorry it’s so dead now), and the third was Sonic AU Collision (rip the original blog). So anyway, I’ve picked up a thing or two! (There’s a reason I ask to ping the blog for collision questions even though I already get a notification from the reblog….).

Things that YOU AU Collisioners can do to help me run things more smoothly is to always include @sonic-au-collision-zone in ALL your propaganda posts. Don’t worry about spamming me. It helps having everything in the same place so I don’t have to go hunting through the #au collision propaganda tag too much, but I will anyway bc ily all. But not enough to check the #sonic au collision propaganda tag, sorry that’s not the one I use /lh. TLDR: Tagging the blog makes life easier for me :D

Another thing is to include your AU name somewhere in the post (especially if it’s your first time posting propaganda!) because I don’t have everything memorized yet and have to constantly refer back to my sheet and look for your user (assuming you’re using the same user provided) before tagging the AU. If you wanna go above and beyond you could even use the #world: [your au] tag in your post so I can easily yoink it for myself. <3

This is my first time participating.

Propaganda can be anything! Be it art, writing, or just plain ol’ yapping about why people should vote for your AU. Propaganda can also feature other people’s AUs (which I highly encourage everyone to interact with other’s AUs). So just do whatever your heart desires and have fun!

(And yes, I accept tomodachi life shenanigans)

then post cancelled. everyone go home /j

Real Answer: We’ll still start with how many submissions we ended up getting. To avoid having to cut off anyone who joined past 32 submissions, I’ve decided that some polls will include 3 AUs rather than 2. (Side note: Match-ups will be randomized). I already adjusted my bracket graphic to account for this just in case, so it shouldn’t cause me too much trouble, but I would still prefer if we reached 64 in time!
