Win a Premium Membership! [Raffle]Ohaii everyone! Chieri here. >u< Still not dead yet. Still just smelling like it.
I know I have been quite inactive the past month, alot of private stuff going on and upcoming exams, but I will try to be more active again from now on. I miss being here with you guys and drawing so much. I will try my best to at least submit something regulary and reply to all notes & comments sooner as I did lately. (I really apologize for the wait.) I promise. You may slap me really hard if I neclect it again.
As a little consolation / thank you / because I want to, I decided to raffle away 
3 x a 1 Month Premium-Membership

I hope everyone will enjoy participating. It's easy!
As usual I will use random.org to choose the 3 lucky winners, providing screens that everything will be 100% fair. 
Microsoft Employees Disrupt Wii U Best Buy EventsRemember how Nintendo was showcasing some of their E3 games at participating Best Buy stores around the country? Well, apparently Microsoft employees have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"
However, the employees aren't getting what they hoped for. Most customers just start bashing the Xbox One in response. Seriously, Microsoft, the people attending these Best Buy Wii U events are people who are intimately familiar with the crap you pulled at E3. They ain't takin' your shit.
At first I thought this might just be a case of one really loyal Microsoft employee taking matters into his own hands (especially since the original source was /v/), but reports have come in from numerous Best Buy's around the country that indicate many Microsoft employees have ambushed the demo lines trying to persuade people to switch to the Xbox One.
Since so many reports have com

Please Pants Responsibly (Paper Notebooks FTW)

There are two ways to write a novel.  Plotting (you make an outline, a plan, a roadmap if you will, and then you sit down and write it) and pantsing (you write "by the seat of your pants, throwing caution to the wind).  So when I get asked if I'm a plotter or a pantser, I'm all like er, uh, hold on, let me?  Pantser?  I think?  But I kind of, um, do planny things?
And it gets kind of awkward because in these inarticulate moments I have managed to confuse everyone including myself. And probably spilled a drink.
In recent discussions, however, I've had a bit of a revelation, silly as it is. I've realized that I -- like many writers -- am a plotter/pantser hybrid.  And perhaps what I'm doing is something we could call Pantsing Responsibly.  And, maybe, just maybe, I could share some of my responsible pantsing tips with other writers. Starting with paper notebooks.
Anyone can find a notebook.  If there isn't alread
The Used Game ParadigmOver the course of this past generation I've been watching the video game market react to the way it's been forced to deal with increasing changes. I've come out against used game sales and even written a journal about boycotting GameStop because (like most people at the time) I believed they were the root cause of all the problems the video game industry has. But that's something I don't believe now as intently as i did then. From where I sit, piracy and used games sales are a problem, but not in the way game companies want us to believe that they are.
Used games are a good thing for consumers. We get to try games out, and if we don't like what we see or finish it early, we trade it in and try another title instead. It's a very good system for us since video game rentals are much harder to come by. Most video rental stores in America have gone extinct and outside specific Red Box Kiosks there aren't a lot of places for consumers to rent video games. The exception, of course, being thr

SPIKE updatesJust thought I'd share with you guys some updates on the progress of finishing my "SPIKE" novel.
A lot of people have asked me how it's going, when it will be published and stuff. I really appreciate getting asked these things because it shows that people are actually interested in my writings, and that it just such a great feeling :aww:
I've got two news for you guys today though: one bad news and one good news. Let's start with the bad news.
I haven't finished writing SPIKE yet.
And I honestly don't know when it will be finished - which oddly enough brings us to the good news:
I've made a new, major decision in the SPIKE story that I think a lot of you will be happy to hear. As usual I don't want to spoil too much, but there is a part in the story where Spike and Sam are separated from each other for quite a long while. At first I was planning on only writing from Spike's point of view, like, what he's experiencing during this separation period. I figured that since he's the main cha

MASSIVE Alcon 2011 Journal

:icontwinfools:

First off! I'd like to express my gratitude to our hosts: `KellyJane and her family, `tealpirate, ~sora1992, ~Rilack (our Alcon liason), FreeSaiyan (Alcon Chairman) and the accommodating Alcon staff ^_^ Thank you so much to all of your for being incredibly welcoming and making this trip possible for us.

I can't possibly write this in paragraph form, so point form awayyyY!!

LONDON

-we arrive in London and are greeted by `tealpirate and `KellyJane's hugs amidst shouts of "THEY'RE REAL!". They then gave us a HUGE bag of candy, which *VandorWolf was especially thankful for ;)



-FISH AND CHIPS! And the night that Lucahontas was born.
-Fingers missing, blur tooled mastery, and yearning to look good against and Aquatic background
-`KellyJane and ~One-Sky-One-Destiny gave us a grand tour of London :) AWESOME
-~sora1992 and `tealpirate SHHHHHH Daddy is talking.
-Platform 9 3/4!



-BASEBALL! I'm 46 years old!
-Meeting a real live fox and feeding it!
-Hyde Park monsooned on us :(



-Hanging at Starbucks with `tealpirate and bonding over our shared love of SHOOP
-London Dungeons with ~Rilack and ~AiruSama
-Meeting Parle Productions at Nandos the night before leaving for Alcon.

ALCON!

-Dat Late Night Panel with `KellyJane and `tealpirate, and I wasn't even drunkkkkk. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY LIFE PERFORMANCE.



-Meeting SO MANY AWESOME PEOPLE. ~AquaAssassin and *Medowsweet our lovely neighboors and amazing cosplayers from the Netherlands, :devanaiseroberts: forever witching and brightening up my hallway with her awesome, our Danish girls :) you know who you are!, THE NORWEGIANS<--- pretty much the happiest and friendliest group of people in existence, I miss them already D:, *KuroShiro13 who took photos for us and chiled with us at the con :), the KH group (Axel, Riku and Sora) happy birthday again to Riku!!!, The KH Pirate Steampunkers!, Percy Jackson and Annabeth!, Zidane (so cute!), Ciel/Hitsugaiya, The lovely Yuna I met on Sunday morning :)... I think I will be listing forever at this point so I'll just stop rambling and say a HUGE SHOUT OUT to all the people that attended our panels, i saw many of the same faces at all of them (even the 10am one, for which I give EXTRA PROPS)









-Ghost Story night
-TWO LIBRARIES
-getting given DELICIOUS COOKIES (so good SO GOOD), heart ornaments (so cute :)), engagement necklaces from Michael (which I am wearing), a Hans Christian Andersen storybook from our Danish girls, an original copy of a comic that a wonderful guy made for us of our "In Sora's Shoes" skit (forgive me if I have forgotten anything!)
-Our signed FDP Naruto jacket getting the highest bid at the Charity Auction. Chris (the awesome boss Itachi) is the guy to thank for 350 pounds going to Japan Relief from the sale of that jacket alone! The auction itself raised over 2000 pounds for charity!
-Beautiful night with *Tomoyo-hime and ~sora1992 in our room. WHY ARE WE SO BEAUTIFUL.





-`KellyJane and `tealpirate tackling me in their room and tickling me into I thrashed so hard that I banged me knee on the bed. THANKFULLY they had SO MUCH MEDICAL GEAR (Left f4 Dead... COUGH) that they forcefully wrapped my "wound" (I told Kelly that if I died she could have my orange juice) and they dragged my body back to my room and presented it to a now-very-amused Nova.
-The Masquerade with ~stripeydani, congrats to the FF guys who won in their incredible armour, Sebby and her flawless Kite who won second place and *Medowsweet's excellent Riku who won third place :) All of the entries were very impressive it was really tough to choose!
-THE PARK AND SLIDE on Monday night =D
-=vampiric-angel's shining moment

I'll end this all with a phrase that sums up my Alcon: "Amazing people=amazing con."

I've been writing this journal for 2 days and have come to the conclusion that I can't possibly include everything so this is my best attempt XD

I will miss everyone so much!
