Not going to lie, I wasn't going to hold #ClerithMonth again this year, I wasn't sure if people would want to participate again or if I was going to be mentally up to it (depression), also because of Mina's amazing Clerith Contest taking place in December as well I thought it would be redundant. But after all of these vicious attacks on twitter and tumblr I feel like our fandom deserves something fun again. Something to remind us all that we're a great fandom with a flawless OTP. :wink:

#ClerithMonth was such a success last year (I was blown away) so do you guys want to try again this December? I was just going to leave it to Mina's contest this year, but I think Japanese fans would want to participate again if we held another #ClerithMonth so I thought maybe it'd be more inclusive?

What do you guys think? December is going to be epic for clerith whether it's just Clerith Contest or Clerith Month and it's going to be even more epic if we do both.

I need to know within the next two weeks if a decent amount of clerith fans want to participate before I start getting everything together.

I don't think the events would bite each other at all. Quite the opposite. Clerith Month was epic last year and I'm sure people would be happy if we do it again! I would love to join and help you! Fans who get inspired by the themes of Clerith Month might possibly feel even encouraged to send in their entries for both - the contest and the Clerith Month. And Clerith Day lies ahead, too! IMO there actually can't be enough events to spread Clerith love! :cleris:

So really, if you feel like doing it, please don't hesitate!! And please do not feel like you have to reserve it because of the contest. That is not what I would want for the contest to effect. I want this contest to be an occasion for the fandom to share the passion for Clerith. It would be sad if we abstain from holding Clerith Month because of the contest. Maybe we can actually connect them somehow? Or if necessary, I can change the period of the contest. I could shorten it, so it won't interfere with Clerith Month if need be.

Thank God, Mina. I was so worried. I did not want to distract from your event at all. Because honestly, I think your contest will draw more attention than anything.

No no, please don't alter the dates or anything. I think both events collaborating would just bring more attention to both so do not change the dates.

(also, this is IF I even do #clerithmonth again, I'm not sure very many people would contribute pieces).

(I first saw this on Twitter, so I may be misunderstanding it or got confused. Just replying here since tweets can't reply with all of this. Just my personal thoughts on the whole thing. XD)

Err, Well I feel kinda turned off that we're bringing Clerith Month back because of rabid haters.

Idk, it's just me, it just feels 'different' from last year's Clerith Month. But I understand that it can be encouraging and help us Clerith fans.

Well, I hope things go well, but I don't think I'll participate this year. I feel uncertain, I'll think about it.

Well, why does that turn you off? I'm not doing it to get back at the rabids, I'm doing it so that the clerith fans can be uplifted after all of this hate. We deserve some positivity after all of the rabids have been attacking us lately. It's not about getting at rabids, it's about uplifting cleriths. The attacks are just one of the reasons that I want to uplift the clerith fandom. But if you don't want to participate that's ok, too, sug. I hosted the event last year and I didn't even participate. But I plan to this year if I do it.

ClerithMonth was going to come back with or without haters, but I feel like the fandom needs it more than ever now.

I think this would be happening too closely on the heels of the other one, which was only, what, six months ago? I'd say at least wait a year in order to garner as much enthusiasm as the last one, and maybe start advertising it earlier.

I can't think of a pressing reason for why this needs to happen right now. Of course, I'm only one person.

There wasn't any pressing reason for #ClerithMonth last year, but shippers do this for ships because they love the ship and want to celebrate it. :lol: #ClerithWeek and #ClerithMonth are different. People on tumblr do both for their ships. ClerithMonth is December while ClerithWeek is April/May.

By the time December comes around it will be 8 months since #ClerithWeek. So that's not close together IMO. However, #ClerithWeek will be "soon" after December so I think I'll be moving #ClerithWeek to equal it out or drop it completely, which I don't want to do but if it means keeping #ClerithMonth then we have no choice. However, when I held Clerithweek Japanese fans still participated and so did Western fans, even though December was shortly before. I don't think most people care so long as we can do something for clerith.

But I worried about the closeness, too. I would like for the celebrations to be spaced out evenly in the year but I'm not sure which one to change, either. End of April/beginning of May has a lot of clerith symbolism, while December is the Clerith anniversary.


I think #ClerithMonth will be what brings back enthusiasm. Currently, a lot of cleriths are pretty offended/irritated by all of the hate towards us across the web right now. And people that didn't get to participate in it last year have shown interest this year. This is a pure celebration about clerith fans and clerith, and it ended up bringing out a lot of shippers last time so I think it will be the catalyst for more cleriths coming out to interact, too.

If people are burnt out for Clerith then nobody has to celebrate. But this is just for those that want to.

That said, I'm still not sure if we should, either.

I have an idea. If we're expecting the next round of Remake news (and many hope for an appearance from Aerith) in December, what if you planned the next fan event for when that happens or right after, so people have new media to work with?

Hmmm, so Playstation Experience is December 3rd - 4th... ClerithMonth will begin on December 1st, is that good?

Cuz that's a good idea. We're lucky PSEP is so early in December :lol:
