Hey, America! Glad to see you back. I know all about Real Life getting in the way of online fun. Hope it was nothing too bad.

I'll look into the new show.

[america126]

Nope,Nothing Too Bad. Have a Job xD

Awesome!

[Everlovin]

That's good. My drop offs usually indicate sick relatives.

[america126]

That Sucks

The Show Starts In January on The 5th On MTV

I Feel Like I Have a Unfair Advantage Having Read The Book.

[Everlovin]

Most everyone one is doing well for the moment. The last year has just been too crazy.

We'll see about the show. If I can remember when it is. Nice on the head start!

[america126]

I Know The Feeling xD

Yep,I Read The Book and it's Sequel

Challenge #90

I know I am posting a day early, but since this is a Special Halloween Challenge, I thought I would give everyone an extra day. I will post entries for the mystery challenge tomorrow the 26th as normal.

Halloween for some countries is October 31st. This week's challenge is to make Halloween art! Spooky, Scary, Creepy, everything goes! If you don't celebrate Halloween, you can still make scary/spooky/creepy art of fan fic! Or if you are a fraidy cat, you can make "cute" spooky entries. {or just wait until next week for the new challenge}.

If possible, get me your Halloween entries by midnight your time, Friday October 30th. I will post them on Halloween . If you can't make that deadline, you will still have until noon your time Monday Nov 2nd. I'll post any entries then as well.

Challenge 91

This week the challenge will be about "focus". Most of the time, our artwork is about the entire piece. For example, see my sig below. This week, I want you to focus on a specific part of the artwork. Maybe the left or right side, or the center, or maybe just a face. Make the areas that you are not focusing on blurry, or maybe black and white and the focus is in color....whatever you want to do to make sure we focus on only part of the sig.

Entries due to me by noon your time Monday November 9th.

It's that time again! If you are interested in doing Secret Santa and/or the Advent Calendar, please let me know!

How they work:

Advent Calendar

Sign up for one, two or three [or as many as you want] days in December that you want to do art. The theme is Christmas or Holiday. You may use any thunk, any fandom or any ship as long as it is Christmasy or Holidayish. It must also include the number of the day you signed up for. {if you sign up for Dec. 4th, it must have a number "4" on the art somewhere.} A good size is 600x400, but it must still follow GW guidelines for posting pics!

You must PM me your art work by midnight the day before your day is due. If you have Dec. 4th, then I will need your artwork by midnight your time Dec 3rd, but the sooner you can get it to me, the better.

Secret Santa

Please do not sign up for secret santa unless you are positive you can make something! It is not nice to sign up, get a name and then bail out and not make them something!

You will receive an assignment based on what you like and what you are comfortable making. I will do my best to pair up fandoms and thunks. What you make depends on who you get, but a minimum of 2 pieces of art is required. This can mean an avi and matching sig. For fan fic, this means 2 drabbles [500 words or less each] OR one longer one at least 1500 words or more. If you want to make more, please do! But limit of ten please. There will be info sheets to sign up listing what you want to get, and what you are able to make.

This time of year can be very busy, so please take the time to think about this and make sure you are able to do this. Backing out at the last minute because you are "too busy" makes things very difficult for me, and not very nice to the person you were to make gifts for. Signs up will happen in the next few weeks, so there is PLENTY of time before Christmas to make your presents.

If you think you are seriously interested, PM or message me, or let me know!

I know this is early, this will not start until Dec. 1st, but I wanted to give everyone plenty of time to decide what they want to do, sign up for it and make sure they can follow through, especially those that pick the first few days in December and also the ones doing Secret Santa.

Let me know what days you want and I will keep the list updated.

Secret Santa

What you make depends on who you get, but a minimum of 2 pieces of art is required. This can mean an avi and matching sig. For fan fic, this means 2 drabbles [500 words or less each] OR one longer one at least 1500 words or more. If you want to make more, please do! But limit of ten please. This is all secret, so no telling who you got! Any questions you have about your assignment please go through me.
