The Future of ANTM After Cycle 2
« on: October 27, 2012, 07:52:48 PM »
Now that the competition is rolling to a close, an inevitable question arises - What is the future of ANTM after Cycle 2?

Interest in seeing a Cycle 3 has been expressed by members publicly and I have received PMs in regards to this issue as well. While this is exciting news, I do not know how the moderators feel about allowing another cycle, or if any other doll photography contests will take its place. Since ANTM was a specially created forum, another cycle would no doubt need approval.

Either way, my point here is to say that I will be unable to host another cycle even if it does meet approval. As much as I love hosting, two cycles back to back have burnt me out. However, if another cycle is approved, someone else is more than welcome to host it in my place.

If a third cycle is not approved, there are always other options to keep the ANTM spirit alive - challenges open to all members in the regular Monster High forum, etc. In fact, I think something like that would be quite fun regardless of whether or not a next cycle is approved. It would certainly help to get even more members involved!

In gist, thank you all for your participation, enthusiasm, and feedback, and I look forward to hosting one last challenge for you - the finale! See you there ;)

Is Icecrystalline's Next Top Doll going to be resumed since it was cancelled because of the conflict of ANTM? I can't believe we are at the end!!!

Thank you Tuney for running this it has been very inspiring! (and expensive- I bought more than one doll because of contestants XD)

I think Icey said she would be unable to run the Next Top Doll and I don't think anyone's stepped up to take it over.

I do hope someone wants to run Cycle 3 (if approved) I think I've improved a good deal lately.

I have loved watching this cycle of ANTM. The judges have done a fantastic job. Thank you so much for making the other 2 cycles. I would love to see another cycle if it's possible. I even bought my Spectra with hope of participating in another cycle.

Aw tuney! Such a shame :(

No, Sadly I will not be hosting either as I posted on a thread a few months back. I am too busy with personal commitments and especially A Levels. My studies are too important to let anything take over right now, I need the best grades humanely possible to get into uni! XD

Aww, thanks, guys!

Don't be disappointed though. If another cycle is approved, I'm sure *somebody* would be in a position to host! And if not, I'd be happy to create little challenges for all members to participate in. How awesome would it be if we got twenty entries a challenge? Or thirty? Or forty?!

Tuney, antm has been so much fun to follow. You did a wondeful job. You can tell you put your heart and soul into it. Even if no one steps up to the plate to do a round 3, I would love it if people kept up similar photo threads asking for shots. I was seriously thinking of just purchasing a bait doll for competing. ;p Thanks again!

If no one steps up to host a third round, then a series of stand-alone mini challenges would be a great substitute. Thanks Tuney for all your hard work. It's been interesting watching the contest as it progresses.
