In these dwindling days and hours of 2018, we here behind the scenes of the DC Universe community have been taking some time to reflect on how weâre going to charge into 2019 better than ever.
With that in mind, our New Yearâs commitments to you, the DC Universe community, are to:
Encourage a welcoming environment for new members
Sustain a positive environment for existing members
Continue to reward Community Heroes
Create a robust calendar of unique, digital community events
Brainstorm possibilities for in-person meetups
Evolve our tools and content as the community grows
Maintain a transparent and responsive communication system
Support our Alpha Lanterns moderation team
Promote DC fandom wherever we may go!
These past 3 months of 2018 were just the beginning, so buckle up, friends; 2019 is going to be one wild ride!
How about you? Is there anything above that got you particularly excited? What are your commitments for 2019? Let us know in the comments below!
Iâll bite, but once I say a resolution imma have to do it!
When it comes to DC, Iâd really like to start branching out and reading more comics outside my comfort zone, particularly based on the recommendations of this community.
Iâd like to keep a cool head and always make an effort to see both sides of any discussion that emerges, even if itâs not aligned with my personal worldview.
I want to always make sure the mods know how freaking amazing they are (shoutouts to KittyKrawler, MissInkBlot, Harleys Puddin, WhySoSerious_Lo, and Pretty.Poison.Bombshell real quick).
I want to get more work done on my Swamp Thing and Watchmen tattoos.
Outside DC, I want to travel for fun more, and learn to unplug every once in a while, so I can come back stronger than ever.
In 2019, I plan to continue reminding myself to workout, whilst wholeheartedly knowing I will not.
I also plan to devote more time to my design work and spending less time watching Netflix.
Iâve already started branching out to other comics that are not WW or Batman. So, Iâll just go ahead and commit to continuing this oh-so-arduous effort.
And I definitely commit to trying my best to work less so I can spend more mommy time with my Lil Man. ^ ^
LOL @LadyWonder, I entirely hear exactly what youâre saying when you resolve to âcontinue reminding myself to workout, whilst wholeheartedly knowing I will not.â
We can help each other try to find better work/life balance! <3
@Catboy20, yes please!! Iâd love to see your cosplays on here. If you need tips feel free to jump in and ask, Iâve seen some uh-mazing work on our Fan Creations board.
Another note to self: Best part of going to comic con is that everyone around is screaming and fanning out right along with you Itâs total freedom to be yourself!
My resolution is to, of course, read more comics on this device and elsewhere. But the bigger and more personal resolution for me is to be a more persistent and positive presence, not just with the guys and gals in it, but for anyone new coming in, regardless of whether they are discovering DC through TV, Movies, Comics, Animation, etc.
Itâs fun to be among like-minded folk, but itâs also important to at least have a small part in building new fans.
