So we haven't done any of these in a while but we're in a good place in terms of contributors and issues coming out so I figured I'd see if there was interest in doing just some short Christmas themed stories. I know December is a while away but 6 months can pass by really quickly and it's better to have too much time than not enough.

No, it's a really good idea to start coordinating it now. The earlier we start, the more successful I think it will be.
However, I will suggest that we keep things far more open than the last time we tried this. I think the attempt to shoe-horn in a running Condiment King plotline into it is what made the anniversary special fall apart. The first Holiday special worked nicely with people able to tell whatever story they wanted. I think it'd be best if we went back to that style.

I do like there being SOME kind of throughline. Just one “thing” that links the stories beyond just the holiday theme.

I think if we do a through line we make it something people can acknowledge with just a throwaway line, or just not acknowledge if they don't want to. We wouldn't want someone to not contribute because they didn't like whatever plot we came up with

Here's another option to keep it connected though it definitely reduces story potential.
Everybody picks a minor character from their claims or somebody they like and got permission for. And they all tell the same story except from their point of view.
It's something crazy and zany, each story is different. And by the end, one of the Editors writes Fury or Stewart in a "I'm too old for this shit" moment where they just toss a pen over their shoulders or throw all the statements in the trash because there was no way to figure what really happened.
There'd be a couple of beats and the concept to settle on but it could be fun. Gives the Wallpaper, Support, Underutilized characters a chance to be the protagonist.
Note: I'm only suggesting something like this because it is six months away. We have time to settle on some sort of zany, holiday story.

To help keep track between the Discord Server and here, this seems to be latest idea for the throughline that most have agreed upon. Courtesy of Stardrifter for putting the best wording to it. |
