fountain Posted July 2, 2022 Author Posted July 2, 2022 Well, Iβm headed to sleep now! One last thank you to everybody that was here for the finale to celebrate the season Β Now that things are coming to a close, Aurora and I are planning on bringing back a Songwriterβs Thread here on ATRL so that the community has a place to go and talk about our writing and our songs during the time in between seasons! Weβll link it here once we have it posted in the next few days.Β

Achilles. Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 Hope Iβll be able to do next season. Β Β I want to try to work on my uptempos, my hooks, and (perhaps most importantly), making my writing more concise. Feel like I want to write some proper pop tunes

Thank you both for this @AuroraΒ @fountainΒ and for all your hard work and flawless organisation in this game. If thereβs one thing Iβve taken from this game itβs that Iβm now inspired with a title for my 72nd (?) album and have found the fun in writing pop music again as I continue my personal little goal of writing 100 albums/ EPs ??

It wouldβve been great to have seen you submit more consistently, but thereβs always the future! We were stranded in your arms in need of a password to be free, but we ended up embracing it and becoming lovers in June. We really hope you enjoyed your time this season and hopefully we can see you again next season! Love how you basically did the "All" challenge for me right there, can I submit retroactively?Β 16 hours ago, Aurora said: Β Rank Writer Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6 Average 23 @RobDeWittBukater 8.133 6.767 0 0 7.8 0 3.783 I hope you enjoy this loyalty Rose Gold Hit Token of Britney Spears for submitting during at least half of Golden Hit!

Prisoner Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 Thank god my posting restriction finally lifted Β Β Congrats to the winners and everyone else, this was really a season of talent with all those perfect scores and high averages Β And also a big thank you to our two lovely hosts, you both did such awesome work and I can't wait to be part of the new season which seems to be coming as early as August Β

And yes, weβll back before we know it with season two Β We wanted to take advantage of the last few weeks of summer since hopefully that should be a pretty free time for most people, I guess it can kind of be considered as a sister season to the first season since theyβll happen pretty close together, and anybody who takes part in both can come away from it having collectively written a full album worth of songs which is cuteΒ Β Probably going to be a longer wait for season three after this, for myself and Auroraβs sakeΒ

Julia Fox Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 Just a suggestion!Β Β next season could be with eliminationsΒ

Thatβs fine and so right because it made a lot of sense and serves an unique way to do a game here x maybe an all stars season with the best contestants overall all seasons would made sense in a elimination formatβ¦ which would be coolβ¦ hope you consider this idea because with competitiveness things changes a lotΒ

Β The casual non-elimination environment is generally more welcoming to a variety of potential participants, and the shorter <2 month duration means we can have more of these seasons more frequently, circumventing the creative drain that is often experienced in the latter half of traditional Platinum Hit seasons. Β We've also thrown around the idea of seasonal specials or events, which may tie into the Songwriter's Thread fountain mentioned earlier that should be debuting soonβ’οΈ. Between these and the more frequent Golden Hit seasons, we anticipate up to four seasons of Golden Hit per year (vs. the 1-2 Platinum Hit or Song of the Season would typically see), and some extra surprises along the way. Β The best way to keep up with potential Golden Hit news would be to keep and eye on this thread in the coming days until the Songwriter's Thread is (re-)debuted, and then that will be our home base between seasons to share any works off-season, perhaps the occasional inspiration prompt song-starter, mini 24-hour challenges, and of course the launch date announcement of Golden Hit: Season 2!
