Moonfair 2003
Moonfair's 2003 was structured quite a bit differently to the established pattern of today. The Guilds, plus Sus Rid and the AoC (Alliance of Cheese, now disbanded) - hosted a portion for a two week period each:
Wanderers and Ashlings hosted from August 1 - 14
Dreamweavers and Mystics hosted from August 15 - 28
AoC and SusRid will hosted from August 29 - September 12
During each guild/sect's turn, they had to build their own portion of the Moonfair website. There were also a couple of Obernewtyn.net-hosted competitions (such as the original Twentyfamilies tattoo competition).
For example, the Mystics section was this: Party in the Cavern (all the other guild/sect Moonfair 2003 sites seem to have been eaten by the Internet gods...).You'll see from this that quite a lot of the original competitions in the first structured moonfair still exist today - such as the Mystics fortunes, and the good ol' Uber-impossible quiz.
Moonfair 2003 was won by the Ashlings Guild.
