Main Page News Strategy
With the new version of theOtaku, one of the things I want to do is to tighten our main page's strategy.

I'm very fascinated by creativity among otaku, as in not just being a fan of anime or video games but of using that as a starting point for creative expression.

I can see the main page evolving into a showcase for that creativity. Once you have a strategy, everything becomes filtered through that strategy. Here are a few examples:

Old: "Interview with Miyazaki about his upcoming movie"
New: "Interview with Miyazaki about his view on fan art"
Or:
"Interview with top fan artist about Miyazaki"

Old: "Super Smash Bros Release Date Announced"
New: "Man Creates Super Smash Brothers Characters Out Of Legos"

Old: "Rate your favorite anime"
New: "Write a haiku to capture the essence about your favorite anime"

Old: "What's your opinion on this anime?"
New: "Why do so many people cosplay as this character?"

The challenge is coming up with lots of content and features with this strategy on a daily basis. Do any of you have ideas for recurring features under a new "creativity" theme?

BTW: I'm up to episode 3 of Haruhi
