Thank you, Cybertronians!

[ostro_goth]

I'd like to thank the Cybertronian muns for bringing their canon's amazing holiday of Cubefall to Milliways.

It was enormous fun!!

Also, it was throughly thought through and well communicated beforehand, so everybody knew what was up, what was supposed to be different, could think of some realistic options for their 'reconfiguration', and some of us even decided to keep the new shape after the holiday, in the spirit of change and new beginnings.

For others, the 'change and new beginnings' part was perhaps a little less obvious, but still very much present. The holiday made a difference in unexpected ways.

Thank you!!

OMG word. :D My pup that participated had a lot of fun with it, and got to do things she would not have normally been exposed to. PLUS she came to the concept on her own that she has reasons to not want to keep that configuration. :D!

I swear, houses should not have characterization like that. *amused*

Yep; I just listened to MPR, and you and Geoff went on about it in a way that makes me go 'Word!!' just as much.

It was a chance for the characters to explore totally unexpected aspects of their personalties, or just enjoy a radical change. I think one of my favourites was the Fox. And not just because I always enjoy the Fox, or think it's fun Ven chose Naveen Andrews for the human shape. We see lots of human-to-animal transformation, so that reversal, and the comment about the underside of tables, were just priceless.-

Thank you! I'm glad you had a good time!

I gather from the MPR podcast that it was all your idea? Well, I definitely had a good time, and so did the others I played with. And, it seems, those whose threads I merely read...

[autocommander.livejournal.com]

Well, there was stuff that I borrowed, but yes, I pretty much came up with it from whole cloth. However, I need to give credit where credit is due, and Cam really needs the credit of spurring me to come up with it and being a bouncer-of-concepts.

Thirded, I think, at this point. It was fun to both watch and participate in.

[ostro_goth]

Enormously! And now Teja can always go 'When I was being a centaur...'

[ceitfianna]

I agree so much. The element of choice and the reasoning behind it gave the transformations such a wonderful joy and I look forward to next year's Cubefall.

[ostro_goth]

So do I! And spontaneously, as per a sort of Rule 87 Violation, it made all the difference in the world for Teja...

I wish I'd had time to participate -- it was loads of fun to watch, and kudos to you guys for coming up with an awesome plot like that. :D

[silveraspen]

Also agreed! I didn't have time to take advantage of it, but it was brilliant and wonderfully fun to read along with.

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I enjoyed it, even if it took a more-than-slightly unintended turn.

I really need to start putting anti-derailing measures in place. I really do.

Thanks for not just a great idea, but an unexpected chance to reinvent a pup who has always been fun to play but who needed something to change the game for him (Cyrus O'Dell, the Battlin' Dean).

[mephron]

That really helps me feel good - the fact people were able to use it to revitalize a character.
