Best of luck to all those undertaking ODW (or IDS for that matter). I too sometimes have the impulse to tunnel into one deck and one deck alone, but I have found through trial and error that, paradoxically, I have to leave myself an "out" (such as reserving the right to have a Deck of the Week on the side) if I want to be able to focus on my chosen deck. Removing other options altogether shuts me down on all fronts...confessions of a commitment-phobe.
Elendil, you may remember that in 2011-2012 I did an Intensive Deck Study while continuing with Deck of the Week. I earmarked the IDS deck for deeper study, reading of affiliated literature, etc. and used the Decks of the Week for less structured things like off-the-cuff draws or daily readings.
Although, perhaps that worked better with IDS because IDS was, as noted elsewhere in this thread, more of an academic undertaking for many of us, so it complemented an unstructured Deck of the Week. There seems to be a different theme to the One Deck Wonder.
If you genuinely feel an urge to stick to one deck, don't give a thought to the DOW facilitation. The other members can alternate thread-creating responsibilities.
I am very tempted to join with the International Icon deck which I used last week and haven't yet put away although I am supposed to be using just the Aquarian Tarot for this week's Deck of the Week....
I might just study the II alongside my decks of the week. As the 'unofficial, unappointed' facilitator of DotW I would feel a little disloyal leaving the group...and I still have many decks in my collection that need to be cycled through.
Ah, the dilemma.....
