Hey all of you, it’s been a while again. I have a few updates, one, both my pc and my laptop are up and running again. Both of them had different problems… such as my laptop had some sort of virus, I’m guessing anyways. I battled with it and killed the bugger that attacked me so it’s all good. My PC suffered a crash from a power outage issue… which was the most frustrating, I pretty much lost everything but was able to scramble and recover most of my music and art so I’m not too upset about that. Actually not at all, I still have open canvas on both so it all works out.

Other updates! I’ve switched to an English Lit. major in College. I’m finally settled in a long term home, no more moving for me (so tired of it). Still don’t have internet at home – part of the reason I haven’t been in contact, somehow I can still access all of facebook through my phone but DA has been a bitch. I accidently erased most of my friends on facebook… crap xD

Lots of family things, both of my half brothers had appendicitis, had surgery and are fine. My uncle had surgery and is doing good – totally different issue though. My mum and I are finally rebuilding some of our relationship now that things have been settling down, and I think all the drama in my life is slowly disappearing. I feels so good.

SO! Update on those contest entries D: We aren’t going to vote seeing as only a handful submitted for it anyways… so to all who submitted these wonderful pictures and a story here they are!!

You all get a free commission! Just go on and note me or just tell me what you want here! Thank you all for playing and not sending angry notes to my account for missing. And again, thank you for all the happy birthdays AND TO EVERYONE WHO DIDN’T ENTER you all missed out! (naw joking!) I hope you all enjoy the submissions that were entered for the contest.

If by chance, I went through my comments and notes looking for all entries, these were all the notifications I got. If someone did enter something for real, that’s dated for back then, please let me know and you’re entitled for a free commission too!

Thank you all so much for the happy birthdays!

We've had a few internet problems over here keeping us from our computers (myself and the roomies) so I've had a hard time between new classes and trying to get our house on the market to have time for anything internet related for the most part. I'm so sorry!

And tomorrow, I have one class, a home to come home to, and a computer with internet to check out the lovely entries and I took a sneak peak at what some of you have done and I really want to say, you are more than amazing D: like! OMG I can't wait to sit down and fully read your entry and gift. The sheer effort you put into that is amazing, and if anyone wants some good reading go ahead and run to her page to check it all out!! Seriously!

Alright, I need sleep before class tomorrow, the family stole me away for the night, but thank you everyone who said happy birthday :3 it meant a lot! I hope you all are doing well!

The contest will move it's deadline to the 11th! is that alright? help people out?

Tho since only so many people met the deadline they may get a little something for their efforts

*I know, I know, I just got the money to see this so I was a late bloomer but still...*


No offense to Ponyo but District 9 just freakin kicked it's ass in recent movies. I think that was hands down the best movie of the year, far better than Harry Potter (which needed a lot of help), and even better than the new Terminator (which was lots of love)! It was everything you could ask for in a movie.

If you haven't seen it, go, please, for the sake of our humanity just do it!

xD

It's finally here! That silly yet fun holiday that only comes once a year - celebrate and have fun!

xD

Seriously though, I'll have something up because this day really has miraculously turned into a fandom wide holiday. And I'm rping Akuroku like hardcore with my fellow writer today, so today is full of win. And tomorrow I really want to see Ponyo.

Say, does anyone know which day is most appropriate to celebrate Sora and Riku? I was thinking the date of when the first game was released but that's just a KH anniversary.

Alright it's official, I'm going to hold a Supernatural/Scifi/Fantasy contest for Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy characters!

The deadline will be September 3rd - on my birthday (so I have fun art work to review that day)! Though that deadline could go longer if artists need extra time.

First place prize will get a three month sub and a free commission. Second place will receive a free commission. And third place will receive a free sketch.

Rules

They can be illustrated as things such as Vampires, werewolves, merfolk, fairies, nymphs, pixies, dragons, griffins, sphinxes, zombies, sirens, harpies, unicorns and so on, so on. If you have a question about a creature, just ask!

2. In your artist comments please include a written reasoning for why you chose certain creatures to be represented through the character you drew. I want to see some fun explanations!
