What is Create?

Create is a series of themed challenges. We hope to provoke h2g2 researchers into feats of wilder research, more studious creative writing, tastier visual arts, more lyrical fun and wonderfully composed biscuits.

Scroll down the page to see our official volunteers. If you are a current volunteer, please subscribe to Create's journals by adding 'Create' to your list of friends.

May: Towel Day 2013

Towel Day 2013 is coming, and Create invites all interested h2g2ers to share their towel carrying experiences by photographing the evidence and then sending it to us on our Facebook page, via Twitter @h2g2_Guide or create@h2g2.com. We will publish them all there and then those sent by email in h2g2's very own newspaper, The Post.

April: Tell Us About Your Travels.

This month, Create invites you to celebrate spring by writing about your travels. Can you tell us about a journey you enjoyed (or hated) or an interesting place you visited? See Tell Us About Your Travels.

March: A CHALLENGE from Dmitri.

This month, Create cannot think of anything better than to draw your attention to a CHALLENGE issued by our beloved Guide Editor, Dmitri. Take it away, Dmitri!

February: Family Photos.

The Create team invites h2g2ers to look for family photos and write about them. Do you have a photo that you would like to share with us? Or one that inspires you to write an Edited Guide article, a story, or a poem? See Family Photos.

January: Things. Or perhaps Stuff.

The Create team invite h2g2ers to put holiday bounty to good use - in writing. Do you have a product review to share? How about an adventure any Christmas gifts started for you? Check out the New Year's challenge here.

November

Solnushka is planning NaJoPoMo again! We are truly delighted!!

Following from the very successful challenge last November, we are pleased to be running NaJoPoMo once again. Full details can be found here

Solnushka and our the Create volunteers welcome all participants, new or old to h2g2. We'll look forward to reading your journals. Good luck!

October: Spooky Fun

28th October Create were pleased to invite you to the performance of 'It's my Party, and I'll die if I want to'. Someone died, and a lot of people were suspects. Thank you to all those that helped plan, write and act this entertainment. We found it great fun to do, and hope that we can do this again in the future.

Many thanks to all those who made it even more fun by playing along during the evening, and an especial thanks to those who sent in their solutions to the mystery.

We will be printing the correct solution in this weekend's Post. Mind you, some of the alternative solutions that were sent in were even more imaginative. Great fun to read.

In the meantime, Dmitri requested spooky stories for the Post, so get over there and read what the other researchers sent in.

September: Food and Drink

We asked you to share a favourite family recipe. We had some really fabulous recipes - many thanks to all who took part.

August: Elton Abroad and Summer Reading

Two interesting topics this month. So, we're really looking forward to a bumper crop of entries. Find out what is happening to Elton - have you seen him in your locality? If so we want photographic evidence please. Or simply tell us about your favourite summer read. Or, take part in both these challenges. Huge thanks to Tavaron this month for her inspiration behind Elton's Great Escapade.

Challenge Extra: July to September

We've two new challenges to hopefully inspire you which will run over the next three months. Please take a look at our introductory page. Ask questions if you need further help or advice.

July: Sport and Personal Fitness

Nosebagbadger generously accepted the role of host for this challenge, which has now ended. The challenge page for July is Create: Sport and Personal Fitness Challenge. Thank you to all who took part.

June: Got the Music in You?

The challenge has now ended, so be sure to contact Z to claim the Create participant badge for the month.

Getting Involved

If you'd like advance notice of our future ideas please take a look at Create's planning page. Do drop by. Unless, of course, you want it all to be a surprise.

October Create: It's my Party and I'll Die if I Want to. (Oct 28, 2012)
Dear friends of Create

I am sure you will have already noticed that we're holding an evenings entertainment for everyone to join in. You may want to play the part of a detective and ask the players questions, trying to find the person with the means, the motive and the opportunity to commit the murder.

If you'd like just to watch it all unfold, you will be more than welcome. Full details can be found here: U14997463

September Journal (Sep 2, 2012)
Dear Friends of Create,

And any other interested readers. smiley This is a short journal just to keep you in the picture as to the up to date challenges that we have on the go at the moment.

For September only, we have a new opportunity to share recipes, especially traditional family recipes from round the globe. A87769831

For August and for a few more weeks to come, we're still asking you to send in photos of Elton Abroad, A87767257 : we really hope you manage to snap the hamster on his Great Escape.

We're still encouraging Updates of old Entries and Flea Market rescues, and last but not least we've been receiving a lot of photographs for old Entries, some of which are now being added by Matt to the relevant Entry. You can remind yourselves of the details in the Challenge Extra Entry here: A87764746

Please make sure that you claim your qualifying contributor badge or better still more than one badge!

Calling Create volunteers (Jul 27, 2012)
How on earth did it get to be nearly August?

I read on the Create planning page that August was marked as 'Books and Review'. So please add any suggestions for August either here or over in Trello.

All Create volunteers *should have received an invitation to join the Trello Create planning board. Please do so, it's a much easier thing to use than Noesis, and we can keep track of planning far better. It can host images very well, and do a lot more than the Noesis forum ever could.

*If you have not received an email to join, it may be because I've got the wrong contact details for you - you can send me your current email address privately to guideeditorsATh2g2.com.

There is also an important document that all volunteers should read, the link to it can be found both in Noesis Create forum and Trello Create board.

Lanzababy

ps exciting news, just in, Tavaron has a really neat idea for August. Please go over to Trello to find out what it is!magic hamster
