The Maximum Mood Theme Track schedule is as follows: ( Part One: January 1 through February 11: Mandatory moods (plus three) )

February 12 through Feb 18: First break! Take this time to refresh, relax, catch up on any moods you missed, or get a head start on future moods. This is also a good time to show off your progress; or, if you're satisfied with what you've come up with, this is also a decent stopping point; with these basic fifteen moods accounted for, all other moods will have an associated image.

( Part Two: February 19 through April 1: Secondary and Tertiary Moods )

April 2 through April 8: Second break! Take another week off to relax, catch up, get ahead, or even stop here. You've got a good foundation for your mood theme, and are welcome to rejoin and pick it up again at any time!

( Part Three: April 9 through May 20 )

May 21 through May 27: Third break! You know the drill by now.

( Part Four: May 28 through July 8 )

July 9 through July 15: Fourth break

( Part Five: July 16 through August 26 )

August 27 through September 2: Fifth break

( Part Six: September 3 through October 14 )

October 15 through October 21: Sixth break

( Part Seven: October 22 through December 2 )

December 3 through 9: Seventh break

( Final Part: December 10 through December 23 )

December 24 through December 31: Final break! A fantastic time to show off everything you've done through the year, whether you found an early stopping point you were satisfied with, did only one or two moods a week at any given time, or made something for every single mood, now is a wonderful time to celebrate what you did. And for your mod to think about whether to do this again next year 😉

Important Note: On Leap Years, any date after February (aside from December 31st) should actually be one day earlier than listed above. This is because of February 29th and math shenanigans, and doesn't affect much aside from stealing one extra day off at the end of the year.

Remember that this is also only a suggested schedule. It's what the community will be officially posting, for anyone who wants to work on prompts as a group, but you can create the moods in any order you like, and stop or start whenever! The important part is to have fun while creating something you're satisfied with.
