Since the mid 1990s there has been an increasingly energetic debate about the reality and nature of short lived (hours to days) flare events in Long Period Variable stars. The ongoing development of a large database of light curves of variable stars extracted from Moving Object and Transient Event Search System (MOTESS) and Global Network of Astronomical Telescopes (GNAT) collaborative photometric survey projects offers the possibility of significantly contributing to this debate over the next couple of years. We describe the unique advantages of using these MG Variable Star Catalog data and outline the protocol we have developed and our progress to date. We discuss the extraction of LPVs from the MG Variable Star Catalogs, discuss their color-color diagrams, provide a summary of light curves developed to date, discuss the status of a concurrent program to determine spectral types and offer a call for potential professional-amateur collaborators.
