Arena ModeratorShorra said 4 months ago 1/30/2012 6:18:10 PM EDT

This is a fabulous idea! Count me in to mentor please :D

pikkatze said 4 months ago 1/30/2012 6:32:54 PM EDT

Thank you, all the wonderful mentors! Now we need some mentees! :D

oyvindk said 4 months ago 1/30/2012 6:50:54 PM EDT

I'm in!

And I'm already being mentored by pikkatze (she's been wonderful), so I'll stick with her.

Great idea! I've been having serious lack of inspiration or ideas for chops lately so an open theme is probably the worst possible for me right now.

Although having a mentor might give me the boost I need so if I may I'd like to sign up for one.
(If anyone would want me considering my intro speech marketing my inspirational abilities. :P )

Qofcheez said 4 months ago 1/31/2012 3:23:37 AM EDT

I'm available, but I've already had a request from Edenquest to work with me, though we haven't officially run it through the mentorship program, or started, this looks like a good place to start

I can mentor if you need me.

Even if it is an open theme contest, there is nothing stopping the mentors from suggesting a few themes in the HxH, I guess. Actually, I think it may be a good idea if they do so, just to provide some inspiration for those in need of it.

I would like to join :)

So would you like me to put you on the list of mentors? Are you OK with having, say, two mentees in case we get a lot of them? Otherwise, Edenquest can just sign up here and I'll take a note that they already have a mentor.

We always need you! :)

Added. :) Do you have a particular mentor in mind?

Yeah that's fine. I'm in England now, and nothing much to do, so I have ample time to work with a couple of mentees if need be

Tough choice! I've been mentored by Shorra before and it was awesome! But variation is a good thing I've heard.
How about that Todd-person? I have a hat similar to his, if all else fails we could always sit back and compare hats. :)

If my current mentee doesn't join I'd be glad to but then it looks like we may double up anyways so I wouldn't having a problem doing that.

Oh sorry. Wasn't aware that you already had a mentee. Did not look close enough at the mentoring program thread. Can we still be hat friends? :D

pikkatze said 4 months ago 1/31/2012 1:03:01 PM EDT

I have two mentees from the mentoring program. So that isn't a problem if the mentor has time. So, Todd person, do you think you can handle 2 mentees?

Todd1000 said 4 months ago 1/31/2012 1:35:15 PM EDT

Seeing as how we're on a HxH schedule, yeah I think I could do two (I don't know if my current mentee is going to enter anyway)

OK, then you're teaming up with Zabani. :) I'll PM you both.

MadameThenadier said 4 months ago 1/31/2012 2:26:45 PM EDT

I'll mentor.
