I guess it isnāt happening then š
sorry for the delay on this reply, outside of us trying to wait and see the most amount of responses we could possibly get from the survey, we have each had a lot of personal happenings taking our time and energies away from fandom at large.
the survey responses were positive but also quite low. weāve looked at the numbers and talked for hours and hours about it, but our ratios of interested to sign-up to drops/MIAs from the previous round donāt support running a round for less than 10 people positively, absolutely committed to being a part of the collab.
this is twofold - one, we fundamentally need enough people to actually have an event, including enough artists to actually be able to collab with. which we already were short on in the previous round. weāre not seeing those numbers reflected in surveys that have been put out.
two, all participants are owed a supportive, active environment. thatās not something demonstratively present on tumblr right now. the change in policies, the migration of people out of 1d fandom and out of tumblr spaces - means there is an absence of community and that more weight would fall on participants and mods to both create and to market their own works - with the full expectation that these works could not garner very much feedback or any prolonged hosting support from tumblr. we want to be kind to participants will managing our own workload in curation of a fandom event space.
we are the mods all love creating for the 1D fandom. we love the collab that we made with each other, and we want everyone to have a great experience, but the environment to support another round isnāt there.
tdlr; we just donāt want to start up round 2 when the platform is disintegrating and the fandom is less engaged. the problems that arise with that result in a more hectic, unpredictable fan event, and we donāt want people to be stressed out or let down.
we wish nothing but the best for you and for everyone still here with us and hope that one day, we all find each other again, in whatever shape is kindest.
love,
di, katelyn, yuzu
