It's just another Xmas celebration - people don't have to take part and it can run alongside anythin else. Maybe not this year with 100 etc but next year and on I could run it with no pressure for anyone to play, just optional seasonal celebrations if people fancy.

there've only been two but there was a six year wait in-between those so it wouldn't hurt to not have one this or next year.

can we have an existential song spin-off. I had a really good potential for that but I ended up wasting it for the Xmas spin-off :thinking:

We've also got end of year stuff too of course which I wouldn't want to run into. If anything was to overlap I'd say a spin off and reloaded but then there's always the fear that the turn-out for one suffers because people don't want to enter two things at once. It's fine requesting a spin off but like say it went ahead at the same time as something and nobody enters after all the fuss, like??? :///

 

I'll have a look and see if there's a way around it and have a chat with the other mods if the demand is really there but I can't really say much more than we'll see :lol:

 

Halloween is right bang in the middle of 100 tho so that's a pretty solid no I think, and we've already talked about Xmas.

We haven’t had a spin off since June , it’s needed please

Can we have another BJSC quiz tbh? The last one ended up being fun. x

Yea I'm sure we can fit it in somewhere just not now when we've got so much going on.

Just mentioned on plug that maybe we could have our own version of BBC Introducing where we send artists who are local to where we are from (town/city, county, district etc)?

Love that idea *.*

Aye champion, you up for hosting duties on it?

I gathered a fairly long list of potentials for BJSC during the years that I didn't end up sending for whatever reason (too safe/too risky/too weird(not necessarily in a good way)/'not really me'/forgot about its existence/I already sent something similar, etc.) and I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't enter them in the future, either. I guess everyone has 1 or 2 (or 20) forgotten potentials like this.

 

I think it might be interesting to have a 'Forgotten Potentials' spinoff, as these songs can still be great discoveries for others + they would get the spotlight they deserve.

 

If the crowd likes the idea then I'm happy to host the contest in the future.

 

(I love the 'BBC Introducing' idea that Lewis had too, btw)

 

 

I for one would be cool with that, I probably have quite a few 'ones that got away' or 'ones I was tempted to send but never did and probably never would'. I think I also skipped the last Frank contest so it would be kinda nice in that way too.

 

adding in: I've also had an idea for a spin-off for actually years now lol, I'm not exactly sure of the details of how it would work but it sounds doable to me. I don't want to steal Frank's thunder tho so I'll maybe bring it up properly later.

I just want another masquerade spin off :P

Xmas please x My entry, well artist, was STOLEN last time, missed out by MINUTES to an EXISTENTIAL, NON CHRISTMASSY SONG, and I still haven't been able to avenge it!!!!!!

Iconique.

Oh, feel free to present your idea (steal my thunder :kink: ), I'll host the next UP too, so I'm not in a rush with this (+ I guess there are no more spinoffs this year, only Rejects + EOY).

 

No Christmas spinoff for me ('Christmas Unicorn' was stolen from me and all the other Christmas songs can die) but YASS for Masquerade Vol. 3!!

I’m happy with that if you’re ok to host it! When you reckon you’ve got time to run it just drop us a PM with some dates you’re thinking of and what, if any, restrictions you’d have on entires (ie standard veto rules or something specific)

 

 

I’d like to see us pick these back up in 2020 but that depends a lot on y’all being willing to host as well as pitch in theme ideas. Gonna finish the year off with an updated TBO but come the new year I’m really looking forward to us having some more things going on here.

 

We can’t have it fall back on a mod to host everything, the vision for this subforum was always to give you guys more control over what happened here but that comes with the responsibility of taking on the hosting.

I'll host Xmas if no one else wants to and DEFINITELY need to be on the veto pannel for it after last time's fiasco!!!

Yes please,Michael. I wasn't here for the last Christmas spin-off and I've had a wonderful Christmas song ready since 2017 that I don't think anyone will know.

Okay well, my idea sounds quite excessive at first but I've always imagined it to be potentially fun. I mean the idea is actually simple - it would be a contest where everyone has two entries. So it might be interesting to look and see like, how a country might have two hits or two 'flops' or one hit and one flop etc. All in the same contest. Sounds a bit like Masquerade except in this one you would choose both your entries.

 

If the volume of entries is too large, I'd imagine there'd need to be semis where both entries from each country are in the same semi (otherwise everyone would have to listen to both semis).
