CCSF 2011

The Creatures Community Spirit Festival 2011 ran for two weeks, from Tuesday November 1st to the 14th, with a surprise additional day on November 15th. The coordinator was Laura, with AquaShee assisting.

The theme was 'New Faces: new users, creators starting small, and perhaps a new game to boot', i.e. The Creatures fans and games of 2011, established by the results of a theme survey. Each Creatures fan who contributed at least one item to the festival got a featured mention.

Alternate proposals for themes included "Technology and Inventions: highlighting Ettins, Shee, gadgetry and machines.", "Legacy, Past and Future: highlighting time capsules, the Creatures legacy, old charm and what's still to come.", "Frontiers: jungles, deserts, and other frontiers around the world.", "Season's Greetings: any holiday from any corner of the globe.", "Kaleidoscope: a whirlwind of fantasy, fairytale, carnival and fairground fun.", "A Beach Theme.", "Realism.", and "No Theme."
