NEWS, BABY

Ehem, sorry 'bout the severe lack of info getting out, I've been gone/grounded/busy/dead in a ditch, so I haven't been able to do much. However! I am back for good this time, meaning this club will have a crapload more activity as I ease back into posting regularly.

Admins, I've given you all the privilege of writing the club blog, so if there's something you need to get out to the group, do so! Don't be shy about telling the world what's going on, and feel free to ask members for ideas about competitions and such.

CONTEST TIEM!
-------------------------
Members, vote on the winner of the last contest! Vote in my poll!

First and foremost, I would like to extend extreme thanks to my admins for taking care of the club while I've been gone for the last week or so. As school starts to wind down, I'm forced to spend more time studying for finals and the like, so the fact that I have such a helpful crew makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Second, members! Does anyone have any ideas of something fun we could do, some things we could do better, or just all around how to make the club better? Share 'em!

CHANGES
-------------------------
The five submission a day limit is still in effect, but I have made some changes to the folder system. The categorization was actually overlapping, so I fixed it. The folders are now:

0-9 and A-E
F-L
M-Q
R-T
U-Z

My lovely admins, you'll get a note soon about the Featured Author bit, but until then I've taken it off the front page.

CONTEST TIEM!
-------------------------
I'm about as informed as the liberal media on this...*shot*

I don't know what to do, but SamuraiSallyBWAC is asking for anyone that would be willing to donate a three-month subscription to the winner. As far as I know, all other prize givers are still on, myself included.

If the judges could contact me about what the -censored- is going on, I would love it. :)

The quantity of consonants in the English language is constant.  If omitted in one place, they turn up in another.  When a Bostonian "pahks" his "cah," the lost r's migrate southwest, causing a Texan to "warsh" his car and invest in "erl wells."  ~Author Unknown

Yes, I am the new founder. I contacted the deviantART help desk and got myself moved up in the absence of our actual founder. We now have a properly functioning group! Yay!

Okay, I got quite a few people willing to help out around here, which makes me very happy. I have chosen my helping hands, but thanks to everyone who offered their assistance! It's more than appreciated.

So, your administrative team is comprised of:

:iconsims247: as Founder

:iconquill-stroke: as Contributor

:iconhit-n-miss: as Contributor

:iconkydusthehedge: as Contributor

and :iconsamuraisallybwac: as Contributor

Go ahead and introduce yourself if you want!

Mkay, since all of the aforementioned people (myself included) have lives outside of dA, I've placed a five submission a day limit. Why? Because it's nice to come on after a six hour day and not have 100 submissions to read. :lol:

I think this is reasonable, considering some groups implement a 'one a day' system. Contributors, this does not apply to you. As admins, you have pretty dang close to free reign around here, so your submissions are not numbered.

Okay, it seems tails3K up and left. Unfortunately, this leaves me alone to manage the group. Eek!

So, since my ADHD won't allow me to have the attention span and organizational skills to manage a group by myself, I am extending an audition of sorts to be an admin. Leave a comment on this blog or send a note to the group if you're interested. All I ask for requirements is that you can speak correct English, your grammar skills are pretty good if not top notch, and you can give good reasons as to why a piece might have been declined.

Until I get a few helping hands around here, please be patient with me as I read submissions and vote on them.

About the Contest:

I have no idea at all what's going to happen with it. As far as I know, it's dead, seeing as our top prize giver has deactivated her account.

If you want to read the entries, visit the Competition Entries folder.


Wait, where does it say who won? :confused:

It doesn't, not yet!  ^^; We got a lot of entries, and also a lot of regular submissions right around the closing date of the competition, so that's a lot of reading!

Don't panic, we'll tell you as soon as possible.

This list is updated now so you can be sure we received your entry:
