Out of curiosity and insanity, I looked up my old Disney Builds and checked out the days I posted them. I do "Three A Day" with such regularity now that I forget that wasn't always the case. I ALSO used to post more or less what I'd built THAT DAY. AND this was before most people had smartphones, and so I couldn't post builds until I got home, resulting in 2 builds being posted at a time fairly often. AND, I would also have to post the builds either when I got home (late at night), or when I got up the next morning. The long waits may be part of why I used to get so grouchy if the only comment I got in eight hours was "______ still has ______'s complications"
.
So I started the Disney Builds in January 2013, just having finished a
Mortal Kombat set. I thought it'd be funny to do the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of
MK. I can't remember the exact impetus behind the Disney builds aside from me being a fan. Doing builds of a TV show weren't uncommon back then, but it wasn't a regular thing, especially for such a big project.
Observations:
* Some days, I posted only one thing. Some days I posted NOTHING- I think deciding to go out at night or wake up right before work impeded some build posting. Other times I just... didn't post anything. Ratigan, Frollo, Timon & Pumbaa, Shang, Kida & Rufio were all posted miles from anything else. Some are kind of odd choices, meaning I probably didn't plan on things being that way.
* Some days I posted a LOT of stuff at once for whatever reason. The Beast, the castle servants, the Bimbettes AND everything from
Brother Bear all in one twenty-four hour period?
* I waited longer than I thought to post
Beauty and the Beast- I don't usually save "Best for Last" anymore.
Aladdin largely capped off the whole thing, though Chernabog was the final build.
* I didn't get QUITE as many comments as I remember getting. A lot of back & forth over Belle when I posted her... but most of the other comments were pretty short & sweet, some of which I still remember. I actually get MORE comments on the current crop, and you can't imagine how happy that makes me- the slow dissolution of some posters is a constant source of angst for me.
* Going from
Roger Rabbit to
Sleeping Beauty is odd, given how I used to set these up (with top-level movies being split from each other).
