It seems the forums are already dying. T_T
Maybe we should have fanfic/fanart/icon contests or something to bring it back to life....

I'd definitely be up for a contest. We do need to do something to bring this site back to life. I come on here every day looking for updates but it's just like... nothing. We also probably need more members. We need to hunt people down.

Done better than my forum. o.O Haven't got any members, and after all the work I put into it...

Forums are difficult to get people into. It takes a LOT of members before the forums can really get some life.
I suggest that we make efforts to contact any Abarat fans we can find and advertise the site to them. More members = more posts!

Yeah, I agree about the contest thing, but I'm not the one to start it.

Then I assume nobody will condemn me if I do?  |

Do you want to make a contest? If you do, then totally go for it. I hope it's fanfiction or multimedia contest, because I can't draw to save my life.

So how ironic is it that I post this, and then I'm vanished for ... oh my goddess, was it really more than a month?! x.x
I'd definitely start something, but I really don't think I have enough time. But if anyone else has any ideas, then please share!
Now I feel like attempting fanart... xP

Well, I've been thinking... someone needs to start a contest. Despite how bad I am at this stuff, I'm totally willing to do it for Abarat! So... if I started a challenge/contest thing, how many of you would participate? Are any of you actually interested?

I'd participate! (no duh xP) I just don't think I'd have the time to set one up and moderate it.

I really do feel bad that the forums are dying... Abarat doesn't get enough love as it is! We all need to get motivated to post some more! If we could just get enough people even lurking again then we could start a contest or a discussion about something...

I do agree, but the problem is that there is just a lack of interest. Updates for Abarat are few and far between. The latest thing I heard was that the next book might come out in September. But we all know that it will probably get pushed back. But thats like that first good information I have had in a year.
I enjoy knowing there is a crowd here that loves Abarat as much as i do, but until there a larger fandom, I'm afraid interest and members will continue to wane.

Maybe instead of a contest we can do some sort of Abarat-related project that anyone active can get involved in? We could have a book discussion, where each week we read a chapter, starting with the prologue of the first book, and get online at a specific time to discuss it. Or we could start a project to advertise the books to those who haven't read it in an attempt to grow the fandom. We could even do a big fanfic collaboration.

Those are all great ideas. If there is anything I could possibly help with then let me know. Feel free to start any contests or what not. The people, the fans rule this forum so whatever you guys want goes really.
