I got an idea for a special thread that everyone could take part in building, but at first I need to find out if there's enough interest.
There are quite a bit of rules that I've come up with, so I'd like to explain those, too.
But first of all, the idea would be that in the thread, a post would be dedicated to each member that has ever belonged to H!P.
Each post would contain at least a picture of the member and a brief (or long, depends on the maker) explanation on how they contribute/contributed or are/were important to Hello!Project. Other than that, the content of the post would be up to the maker; they could also decide whether to ask other fans for something to add to the post (the member threads can be used for this purpose). For example, if someone other than drifoy got to pick Reina but wanted to ask drifoy for a beautiful graphic for the post, that would be perfectly acceptable. The only limit would be to not have too much text (such as long poems or fanfics) because we're not making a novel here
Youtube etc. links would also be acceptable, but let's leave downloads for other places.
Now about distributing the H!P members. Only one post per each H!P member, so fierce battling shall take place over who gets to write about who.
I figured that at first, everyone would be able to choose 1-3 girls that they wanted to 'appreciate'.
However, if you chose more than one girl, the girls would all have to be from different units because I think it would be unfair if the same person got to do, for example, Sayumi, Reina and Risa, or Risako, Miyabi and Momoko. It just wouldn't be fair, right? An exception are groups that have been un-functional for years (for example, T&C Bomber) and H!P Eggs, just because they have less fans than the currently active and releasing groups. If somebody wants to write about two or three Eggs, be my guest!!
So at first, people would choose their girls on a first-come-first-serve basis. To make it as fair as possible, I'd let everyone know in advance exactly when the claiming thread is opened. After that, if it started to look like some members aren't being chosen (especially members who have graduated H!P ages ago, or H!P Eggs), anyone who was interested would be allowed to write on them. But only time will tell if there'd be need for this.
Also, busy people would be adviced to choose only one member to write on, if it seems like they won't have enough time to put much thought into their 'appreciation'.
So, what do you think? Would you be interested in taking part in something like this?DON'T start claiming for any members yet!!

Since Roman My Dear Boy, shirenu has brought JOY and HAPPINESS to the wonderful world of Hello! Project fandom!
Her H!P Egg site, even if not up-to-date, is rather splendid!
May her spirit LIVE ON and her arse never be banned!
What would we do without shirenu!!

...So yeah! Coming up with something like that wouldn't be too hard, right ^_^
