Hey everyone! I want to bug luckyshirt. And I want you to help me.
July 5th is the 4 month "anniversary" of M postponing Chapter 2 of find the starlight. I want to send Darin a little reminder that we are all waiting patiently, and let him know that we are still super excited about the continuation of FTS. I would like to do this in the following way:
Everyone who still considers themselves a follower of FTS should, on July 5th, do the following:
Take a picture of something related to FTS (their alchemy kit key, a piece of art, a moodily lit locked door) Tweet it with the caption "I remember #findthestarlight".
Depending on how many participants we get, I think we should either: A) spread out the messages throughout the day, and @luckyshirt them B) just get as many of them as possible and then have someone tweet a message to him suggesting he check out the hashtag.
I am going to try to figure out how to coordinate this. I don't think anywhere is currently very active, so I am going to take a look at tumblr and twitter, and see how many people I can just message via those channels.
If anyone has any other ideas, please chime in here. And, please use this thread to "check in" and let me know you are on board for this little endeavor.

Totally 100% on board! I would suggest not using the fts tag on tumblr to advertise it and instead directly message people you might think would be interested on the off-chance that he checks the tag.
Also, if people don't have twitter but have instagram, that's also a way to post a picture and tag it.

Yeah, I was just going to message everyone, but tumblr isn't letting me but the link here into the ask. Do you know a way around that?

I'm completely on board. Excellent idea cornchak.
I like the second version the best.
Do you think we should make it #IRememberFindtheStarlight? That way he doesn't really get a heads up of what's brewing until you tell him to check out the tag? Then he'll peruse a whole list of pics rather than just sporadically seeing them trickle in throughout the day.
I'd say we each post multiple things as well. And who cares if there's some dupes (the medallion will be popular I'd guess). And for maximum exposure, and to increase curiosity from outsiders, maybe even do cryptic non-obvious but tangentially-related objects like an owl or an old-timey bell perched to ring above a door, a waitress's name tag that is turned so you just can't read the name - things that haven't actually existed outside of the lore or related conversations. Inside jokes like the PdL drawing, even. Anything goes. Make him work for the connections...
And I definitely think we should all use tumblr, Instagram and Twitter even if it's just cross posting. He does that all the time to increase reach. Even though we're only trying to reach one person, if HE then reposts/tweets/tags about it...

I'm in, but please remind me on the 5th just in case. It's been an extremely busy summer for us, with our daughter, son in law and their two kids living with us between basketball seasons in Europe. I wish all a very safe, happy 4th of July!

Totally in! I'll participate on Twitter and Instagram; I haven't been using Tumblr much but I'll try to remember to do so on the 5th (I'll put an alarm in my phone XD).
Just make sure we settle on the hashtag before then (#findthestarlight vs #IRememberFindTheStarlight or some other variation).

Yes, I like it, Jed. Let's do #IRememberFindTheStarlight and each post multiple things throughout the day, across various social networks. Then we will just tip him off at the end of the day.

I'm sure we'll all be seeing each other's posts throughout the day. I would encourage everyone to disregard the thoughts of, "oh man, cornchak posted a key picture, I was gonna do that..."
Just do it! Let's get as many instances of the message out there. If they're similar, great! It's showing a shared passion, shared themes, a coherence in the message, a body of people that think alike (though not mindless automatons) because he has introduced these shared elements into our lives.
We've shared an experience and though each is unique and that is important, the sharing is what has bonded us, so let's not negate that overlap.
I think it'll be interesting to see everyone's different interpretations of similar elements on Sunday. I'm looking forward to that as much as the potential for this to rejuvenate FTS.

I'm really excited for this! It feels like finally something to do after so long of waiting.
My friend and I decided to celebrate the 4th by visiting the zoo nearby, so I'm hoping that I can get a couple good pictures that are FTS related. xD
