      Well, I'll note that DA has numerous OP-related fanclubs. Most are character-specialty, or pairing-specialty.

      I noticed, although there are two different Usopp fanclubs, one for every other Strawhat, one for CP9, an inactive one for the Marine, and even ones for Helmeppo (dead) and Buggy, nobody's made any for the Arlong Pirates or indeed any of the gyojin (exception: there's one for Tom's Workers, which I assume includes him)

      I was pondering setting one up.

      What I had figured:

      Possible Name: Fishonen (take on bishonen XD)
      Possible Avatar: Cycle of headshots of the various major fishmen (help needed if I go this route– point me to clear, minimum-spoilery pics of Tom and the Foxy fishmen please so I can crop out portraits?)

      If there were contests, they'd likely be seasonal/event related or theme challenges (i. e. baby fishmen), since one can't do an "birthday" contest like with the Strawhats.)

      Would anyone be interested? Or have any advice? Since some of you here obviously run clubs already, advice is appreciated.

        I think that if you want to do it, then you should. ^^ I'd join, mermen rock~

        Advice from me, since I own two clubs there… get someone talented an reliable to do the ID. Avoid having a contest for it because it's basically you get what you get. One of the clubs I'm in, Usopp Kaizoku-dan, does monthly 'themes' rather than contests which works great if you don't want to have to judge and draw a prize for the winner. It also takes away the competitive edge from submitting work, so it becomes more casual. However, contests with prizes might bring in incintive to submit things.

        Submitting club entries are up to you, of course. Some clubs make journal pages exclusively for members and art and what not, and some clubs put members on the front page and submit entries directly into the gallery. It's up to you. 😃

          Um, yeah. Contests are kinda hard to manage, especially if done monthly. OnePieceUnlimited haven't decided on its first contest's winner yet, and they're already on the 3rd contest.

          I'll join the fishmen club!

          Alas, the CP9 club's been idle for quite some time now. I've also been trying to join 1piecefan ;_; Not in yet.

            Well, I didn't study the CP9 club specifically (too spoilerriffic, damn you Viz to translation hell, where everyone speaks like a motherboard manual!), didn't know they were dead.

            I joined 1piecefans, and it took months to recognize it; by the time I was listed, I was ready to demand a rank hike. XD Their admin is sporadic at best.

            I like what you're saying about theme propositions rather than contests; then I don't have to line up prizes (nobody'd WANT a commission by me, and I'd have to repeatedly say "okay, (character past chapter 82), what does he look like" XD

              Try bi-monthly. The last two for UsoKa had winners by default because only one person entered for each. Then again, I don't really do much to promote them except on the page itself.

              Anyway, I'd sure as hell join a club for the Gyojin!

                    I personally prefer the annual monthly contest. And since it's a fishman club, I think I'll request people draw Captain Morgan. XD XD XD I need sleep.
