Even so, 5 months is a long time. We haven't been in the collab season the whole time. Even if it's a long term project, there will always be some tricks which are cool, fun, and interesting, but just don't fit into a video project. Those are tricks for VotW; going this long without submissions is a little ridiculous, since it really isn't that hard to film and submit a trick (and if it's a leftover trick that was filmed, half of that is already done). I'm guilty of it too, since I never really take a break from diaboloing, so I've always got some ideas bouncing around my head.
Maybe it's time to revamp the process for VotW. What if it worked as an obligation, where people sign up for a certain week of the year, and have an obligation to have a trick for that week? We could have sign-ups each month, and maybe this way we could even have multiple people in a week and have a mini-collab for each week.
Sorry about the long, only-slightly-on-topic post, I didn't mean to ramble on as long as I did.
