I like the support for Shakespeare Week, but I still can't picture how it'd work.
The point of Theme Week is to boost activity and discussion, and I can only see Shakespeare discussion going so far...
Maybe if we include Star Fox since all the planets are named for Shakespeare's work? Nah...
I don't know, I just don't see it being too big.

NES Week would work well, as would Band/Musician Week... World War NSFCD will be huge if it works out right... but I just can't see Shakespeare working.

Prove me wrong.

Nope. Instead I'll ask you what you think about my unnoticed idea. (RPG Week)

But truthfully I do agree with you; NES Week sounds like it'd promote more discussion.

3 of my friends smoke weed. Why? Well I asked one time, and this is what they said: "Because I can blow out smoke and it makes me feel like a intercourse ing dragon"

Sorry I missed that. It could work, but some of our  users aren't into RPGs. Granted, that could be said for any theme I throw at them, some people don't like NES; some people don't like Horror stuff, etc, but whatever.
I'll keep it in mind for a future theme week. :)

I know this is a video game forum, but I'd like it if not too many of these themes were video game centric. It's a way to promote discussion but also a way to break from the norm for a week.

Fowl Language Week.  Half the people would incorporate swearing into their names, the other half would name themselves after birds.

If you want something to break away then I advise something topical which we'll all discuss anyways. It's kind of why my vote went to band - I mean come on, who here doesn't listen to music?

It's also an under discussed topic here.

It seems every other time I pop into IRC, there is a band discussion, and a floated thread called WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO.  How often do we discuss Shakespeare.  Huh?  How often, Tk?  HUH?  ANSWER ME!

well I don't go on IRC but I don't see it much on the forums.

...That's on almost every forum in existance. (Overstretch but you get the idea)

Through If we're going as broad as having something plain called "Band Week" I'd be fine with a Book Week. None of you would ever guess who I'd be ;3

TK you have showed me how to make Shakespeare week work.

Literature Week.
Let's the Shakespearean users have their wish, and leaves it broad enough for the rest of us to join in.

So, to me  it's between NES Week and Literature Week... Hmm...

Dog Food

I say Literature Week, NES Week, Horror Week, then Music Week.

We'll have four themes ready to go.

But I still like Shakespeare week better than Literature week. Broad topics make it harder for me to decide on something to be.
I get obsessively manic over things. It's a problem.

I actually like the idea of Literature Week.

Macawmoses

Shakespeare has such a wide catalogue to work on its own that it isn't funny. In terms of discussion, there is...

favorite piece
shakespeare crossover (Macbeth meets Othello. What next?!)
And of course, any analysis on pieces...is hamlet a mysoginist? Yes or no?

How about a Serious Discussion about Hamlet or Macbeth's innocence/guilt? Movie adaptation discussion.

There is a ton to go with.
