What to do at Camp Sparkle, part 1

[pensnest]

I think it would be really awesome to have some prepared video that we could watch and—possibly—talk about, and it's not something people can throw together in five minutes, so.

I'd like to propose that we have A Boy For Five Minutes. A montage of the most awesome moments of the sparkly boy of your choice, in the opinion of whoever puts it together. Maximum of five minutes long—and I know that's going to mean some hard, hard choices, yes!

Who's up for this? We have more than two months, so there should be time to track down your favourite moments and figure out how to put them together, I think.

It's time to claim your sparkly boy of choice.


AJ claimed, astonishingly, by trumpeterofdoom ;-)

Brian equally astonishingly, claimed by bubbleforest ;-)

Lance okay, I'm going to try this one myself

I'm also, and perhaps more controversially, going to suggest we have a "pimping" session, in which you can show five minutes of footage from another fandom, in order to demonstrate to those who don't care just Why we should be fascinated by... whoever. Education time!

If a lot of other people think that's a great idea, then sure. But personally, I'd rather that we didn't. I get to hear about fandoms I'm not interested in every day on LJ, and Camp Sparkle is popslash time.

[rikes]

Hee, yeah. It might be fun, but as you said, that's basically my LJ friendslist every day! :) I don't mind either way though.

[pensnest]

That's true—but last time we kind of fissioned into little bits talking about not-pop fandoms anyway. I think it might be worth a few minutes to say, oh, *that's* why they're interested. (Cos I'm mostly not bothered enough to investigate.)

Ditto what nopseud said. Camp Sparkle for me is all about the popslash, and I kinda need two years worth of popjoy injected into me.

Dare I sign up and claim AJ? This would mean fiddling around with Windows Movie Maker. /o\

[pensnest]

I can think of no-one better qualified!

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

The real question is could you keep it down to five minutes.

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

ASDFGJK;DFKHL&SDFGK%DSFK. Um. If no one else wants Brian, I guess I could take him. I mean. Yeah. I might be able to scrape together a minute or two worth.

[chalcopyrite.livejournal.com]

Don't go out of your way or anything. :D

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Omg such a hassle.

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

See above comment to JM. lol

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE IMPLYING, LADY. Come on, Brian's so boring! I'll be lucky if I can fill out a minute, let alone five. Most grueling task of the year, this one!

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

I do hate to see you suffer so. Perhaps somebody else should take on the task. Better yet, since you insist he is dull, Brian can simply be skipped. Safer that way for everyone, wouldn't you think?

Only a minute or two? Pffttt. ;P

I would gladly enjoy such a video. :)

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

lmfao, I know, right? If you have any suggestions, do please let me know! We'll be sharing him all week, it'll be awesome. :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_titch/]

IKR?! I AM SO EXCITED! FYI, I am also bringing my external harddrive so bring yours if you need footage type stuff. I also have my huge picture archive on there which is primarily Brian.

As for suggestions, uh.... A Night Out footage, naturally. It is so very hard to narrow it down - Brian is just far too awesome for his own good!

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

ASDFGJFKDLGH, FOOTAGE, YES, THANK YOU! ♥ Yesss, you're right, A Night Out for sure! I've gots to look around a lot. :D

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

I'M SO SURPRISED. I CAN'T EVEN. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY LIKES BRIAN? JEEZ, METTE, GIVE THAT PERSON A FAIR CHANCE.

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

WHATEVER, OKAY, I CAN DO WHAT I WANT. I LIVE TO MAKE VIDEOS ABOUT LAME PEOPLES!

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

OKAY WELL, MAKE SOME MOAR VIDEOS OF THOSE SUPER LAME KRADAM PEOPLES.

[adelate]

Maybe if not everybody is interested in the pimping session, it could be a smaller thing that the people who wanted to do could do?

[pensnest]

Yeah... I mean, there's no particular *need* to do it at all, and if most of us aren't interested, then fair enough. It just seemed to me it'd be something we could all do together, rather than splitting up to enjoy non-pop activities... but on reflection, we do split into subgroups anyway during the week, and some of those will probably be looking at other fandoms anyway.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Given the generally organic flow of Camp Sparkle, I'd say the Random Splinter Groups are pretty much exactly that...two people start talking about X subject, and other people overhear and feel that subject is interesting and join in the discussion (or video watching, or whatever.) Whether or not the subject of the moment is specifically Pop or Something Else is sort of irrelevant.

Perhaps we need a dry erase board in the kitchen (or wherever the most-common gathering point is, but I think that's ALWAYS been the kitchen so far, hasn't it?) where Interested Parties could write a note that they intend to do Such And Such a thing in X Room in ten minutes, or tomorrow at noon or whatever? It's certainly possible other people might be interested in various Splinter Activities that they simply weren't aware were happening. And if one of them is discussing some Other Fandom, perhaps someone who isn't normally bothered to investigate could drop by to see if their interest could be drawn in. Bothering to investigate is much easier when all you have to do is walk to a room and lurk. *g*
