I agree that Succubus Week is too narrow, and vote instead for Infernal Week (that's demonic creatures more broadly, right?). I envision either a succubus with budgie wings, or a hellbudgie; but I fear that the attempt will be aborted like all my other crappy avatar attempts in the past year.


Fairy Week is a grand idea as well!

Infernal Week is a cool idea, although I was secretly hoping for my own personal army of demonic hotties to seize control of the forum. >.>

Of course I do. And thanks for the "lovely"

And speaking of nominations...have we ever had an Underwater week?

the Infernal Week Idea would be pretty interesting, like getting an evil counterpart of my avvy

Although I was thinking of a Dragon Week too

I really like the Pokemon and Mistaken Identity ideas (I quite fondly remember them from times gone past), but I'll put my vote with Team-Up Week since that sounds pretty cool as well.

Hey, for those who wanted a Succubus avatar, if Infernal week gets chosen, and they decide to have their regular avatar turned into a Succubus, would any of you like to be in a silly comic explaining how your avatar was changed into one?

I'd say I haven't seen you around as well, but trawling the New Members thread regularly means I have. Testing how long into college I can keep up with the playground and drawing. Good to see you again still.

I was Osmium, and then Iridium, and then Osmoiridium.
And then I made my avatar my wallpaper.

That week was awesome.
