Everfree Northwest - Two New Polls and Vendor Application
Everfree Northwest is looking for your input with two new polls!
Boasting the largest and most in-depth writing track of any MLP fan convention to date, Everfree Northwest has become a literary hub for the community. During EFNW 2013 we ran over a dozen writing panels and events, from panels such as Character Development and Setting to events such as the Iron Author competition and the Author Hangout. Everfree Northwest 2014’s writing track is already shaping up to be just as - if not more - exciting than last year. That’s why we want to hear from you! We want to make sure our writing track meets the community's needs, and do we’ve come up with a Everfree NW 2014 Writing Track poll! Rate the provided event ideas to help us prioritize our panel and event offerings. You can take the Writing Track Poll here! You can also provide suggestions and feedback on the Everfree Northwest FIMFiction group ‘Everfree Northwest Readers and Writers’; the forum thread for feedback and suggestions can be found here.
What type of merchandise do you want available at Everfree Northwest? Our next poll asks you what items you would like to see offered from the convention store for purchase, from t-shirts and mugs to buttons and posters. We have 19 items currently up for voting, so make your voice heard! You can take the Merchandise Poll here!
Along with our polls, we’ve also updated our Panel Submission and Volunteer Application with forums right on our website!
