OK, you probably noticed a WHOLE LOT of FYI sticky threads up there

They are most of the old threads from the original PJU discussions. With the PJU literally just around the corner, I wanted to bring them all forward so we could all get reaquainted with the characters and Info there.

Plus... if anyone is feeling perky, to go through the threads and pull the information out of them into a "readers digest" version that we can find important information more quickly. This will take some work so people are not in any way required to do this but can volunteer for it. There are about 10 threads stuck up there devoted to the PJU and that's just way too many. If we can get them whittled down into a couple of more manageable threads, then I'd love to unstick those old one and pop up a couple of new ones with all the old information in them in a much more consolidated format.

any ideas of how we can do that any better?

I would just have the EICs do it but I think we are dead about now... we have worked a ton to get what we've got, we are anxious to get the next steps going, have a bundle of more stuff to do when the next step happens (probably next week) and honestly, I personally can't handle doing this on top of all of that.

It would be extremely helpful if we can consolidate those old threads down into something far more manageable.

Guys (and girls) THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! :D

and yes, they are all closed on purpose. Right now, what we don't need is MORE characters added. Those topics were well discussed and for now, lets just run with what we have. When the time comes, we'll be expanding on more topics, characters, stories, looks, etc... but the EIC team has a plan of attack so I'd like to follow it and take each stage as it comes from here on out. Thanks :D

*tentative hand raising*

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but what in the hell exactly IS this PJU thing?

Hey Ven, can't Terry make a interior board or something? Like in the Critical Mass?

Just a thought.

I wish I could answer you Ink, but I only know that it involves us working on stuff, the specifics are waaaay beyond me at this point. :)

Glad to see this is going down, I'm jonesing (sp?) for something to do!!!!

Oh, and pleeeeeeeeease don't take away those threads for any reason for awhile. I want so badly to read everything in there, but I know I'm not going to be able to for a little while. :(

If you are behind on this one, and there's good reason for that... as it started over a year ago and has been "in quiet hands" for a whiile now... start with this thread (http://www.penciljack.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24952) as it is the ground works of a brainstormed idea that became The PencilJack Universe, our own comics for the penciljack site. (I wonder if Terry even remembers it? hehe)

Anyway, the threads are all about various characters, plots and ideas for creating our own universe. For the last 8 months, the EIC team have been putting together a "kick off" issue #0 for the PJU. This is a monsterously humungusoidally gigantic 48 page whopper of a story that sets the stage for all of the issues to follow. (Its almost ready to post for the PJ community.)

A very long time ago, I had spoken to Terry about this project and he approved but said he didn't want to make a subforum until it really got started (I agree, it could have just become vapor-ware and then what?) So at some point, we'll probably get that subforum for the PJU.

Anyway, we have all kinds of projects planned for the PJU and everyone will get to dip their hands into helping create this universe.

I read through all the stuff above and it sounds very interesting.

Can't wait to see exactly what you do with it. "all kinds of projects" has got me wondering. :)
