Thoughts On Skout Kamp

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

In all the book craziness, I've been a tad slow with updates, but I hope to be all caught up soon! I'm still planning to wrap up "The Mockingbird Song" this month. Still working on a new illustration. And still working on the new rendition of Skout Kamp!

In case you've forgotten, the Skary Skouts were essentially my street team some time back when I had more time to manage it (with the help of some Skouts). Many former Skouts have let me know it's time to bring Kamp back, so that's what I'm working to do. Hooray! Here's what's in the blueprints so far: (more...)

What to do about the Skary Skouts?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Remember the Skary Skouts? Yes? Fantastic! Keep reading. Oh, you don't? Fantastic! Keep reading.

The Skouts were my street team a couple o' years ago. They had a message board and little "merit badges" you could post in online profiles. There were also Skouts-only contests and games, and sometimes a Skout would be highlighted on the site if he or she did something special to tell people about the Childrin. They even had their own subsite called Skary Skout Kamp! But eventually it got to the point where it was just a wee mite difficult to manage. There were mods, but even they were overwhelmed as they did have jobs and school and families and such (the nerve of them!).

And so, after some havoc wreaked by malicious spammers, I finally threw my hands in the air and said "Hang it!" Skout Kamp was abruptly and unceremoniously closed. But ever since skary.net was relaunched recently, I've been getting regular questions as to whether or not the Skouts will make a return.

So, my question to you is... would you like to be a Skary Skout (again)? If Skout Kamp came back, what features would you like to see? Send your answers by email or comment on this thread on Facebook!
