.: Change :.
Life is about change, spirals and growth. The world is going through change as we experience Autumn in the northern hemisphere and Spring in the southern. I experience change at this time of year as I want to spend more time on my writing projects and less on my photography.
I edit & write two similar but different blog sites,
Goth Girl of the Week (GGotW) and
Copslayers of the Week (CosWeek). Both feature images of models that are Alternatives to traditional fashion models, and both feature people from around the world.
Goth Girl of the Week has been a project of mine for 6 years and I seem to be getting less and less response to it, I used to see 1,200 hits a day in 2009, now I see less that 400 and I posted the first Feature since August yesterday. In contrast
Copslayers of the Week is a new project with just pictures, so far. I only get 20 viewers a day, but it takes time to build a site like this. I see one as fading, the other as growing.
Copslayers of the Week is about to go into a new faze as I add interviews and start engaging the readers more. CosWeek is definitely a project I want to keep going and I am losing interest in GGotW as fewer and fewer submissions for interviews are sent in.
I'm wondering if my year end tradition at GGotW should be transferred to CosWeek? I hold a competition for Goth Girl of the Year, can I do the same for Cosplayer of the Year? With 125 Cosplayers displayed so far this year, how do I break it down?
This is going to take some real thought, but I want to hear your input.
A)Is this a good idea?
B)How should I make it fair?
C)How to qualify & not qualify?
D)Should there be categories?
I'm throwing this out to you guys for feedback, but please pass this around and ask you friends to check this Journal and comment too. The more responses the more likely I'll do this.
