2008-10-22 [Kelaria]: I once wrote a story where the main char used a broken flower vase to kill the vampire who kidnapped and terrorized her :P That's dark! XD And she dies too at the end... most depressing story I ever wrote x_x
I've got an idea for this theme too! And it involves lots of sunshine... except it's been cloudy all day yesterday and today :( Hopefully I'll get some sunshine sometime in the next few days... I'm impatient to try my idea out!!! *sigh*
2008-10-22 [Duke Devlin]: XD Hahaha Flower Vase? XD How random. :P
2008-10-22 [Linderel]: It's not random, actually. It's a traditional art theme. :)
2008-10-22 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Oof. Personal problems. Will be a couple of weeks before I get back into posting.
2008-10-23 [Annie T.]: Whee, I got two more done. I think I have spurts of inspiration. :P
2008-10-23 [Trennas]: i have plenty of inspiration, but really no time to work on any stories whatsoever:( work and school are slowly killing me 0_o
2008-10-24 [Duke Devlin]: Ahh well.., it seems odd. :P Good theme though.., I believe I have an idea. ^^ Whether or not I manage to write it before the middle of next week remains to be seen, however. :P
So Trennas, we are no the same boat. D:
2008-10-26 [Trennas]: i guess we are.. and im not liking it for one bit!
2008-10-26 [Chimes]: Would you rather get out of the boat and paddle?
2008-10-27 [Kuruni]: whaaaaa!! week four!! so much to do! i can make it i can make it!!!
2008-10-27 [Trennas]: actually, this is week 5 right?:p
2008-10-27 [Linderel]: Indeed it is!
2008-10-29 [Duke Devlin]: Paddling is no where near as fun as being in a boat. D:
Also, I am actually writing these now. XD
2008-10-29 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Hmmm no idea for this new one, I have, however, started on my flower vase one! Hooray! Week 2 inspiration still eludes me somewhat
2008-10-29 [Duke Devlin]: *cough* .. I am just finding inspiration for the first. :P
2008-10-30 [Synsae]: hmmm... I am getting behind... I only have week 1 up... week 2 and 3 elude me... and week 4 should be easy... but, having trouble finding a flower vase here... but, I should be able to have week 5 in at some point soon...
2008-10-30 [Duke Devlin]: XD I am at the same point as you, [Synsae]. :P
2008-11-03 [Linderel]: Heehee. Let's see how much you all hate me now. Especially the photographers.
2008-11-03 [Teufelsweib]: is this contest about making a portfolio or about managing to paint/photogra
2008-11-03 [*micky*]: Hahaha What you say [Teufelsweib]! Though I like the challanges xD
2008-11-03 [Jitter]: You know if I'd entered the photo round you'd end up with a photo of a book :P
2008-11-03 [vegetoot]: Great idea, thanks.
2008-11-03 [*micky*]: Hahaha we're so inspirering for eachother:P
2008-11-03 [Jitter]: x) You're welcome! Funny that I was thinking of replacing my dark fairytales entry with an image from a celtic myth.. Now I'll just enter it under this theme xP
2008-11-03 [Chimes]: Damn! My paradise one (when it is complete) will also fit into this weeks XD
2008-11-03 [Chrysilla]: [Weet-weet] wanted me to tell you that she can't post atm, being busy with school, work and moving out, but that she's got the pics and she'll have them up as soon as possible.
As for theme no 6... >.<
2008-11-03 [Anvikit]: gaelic.. is that like celtic? or like angelic? or what? I cant find much about it in specific on google..
2008-11-03 [Linderel]: Ask Wikipedia instead. :3
Allison, dear, the point of this contest is to create a portfolio while stretching your imagination to the limit :P
2008-11-03 [Duke Devlin]: Eheheh.. It is certainly doing that. XD I just wish I could be less busy.. >.> I will SO get this done, before the finish. ^^ Actually, when is that? I figure someone will know... :P
2008-11-03 [Linderel]: Beginning of January. I've not yet decided the specific date, but January 8th at the earliest.
2008-11-03 [Duke Devlin]: Okie dokie. ^^ Thank you, Linderel. :D <3 :)
That's AGES. :D But not quite long enough to allow me to grow complacent. oO :O
2008-11-03 [Anvikit]: Okay.. I tried wikipedia..
I put in gaelic mythology and got Irish?? Is that right? If not would you mind giving me a link?
2008-11-03 [Anvikit]: http://en.wiki
Breezed through the irish wikipedia.. and it just seems to tell about the history of story telling or some such.. but no real stories or anything other than just breif outlines of how the stories went when they were written and who they were written by i think..
2008-11-03 [Linderel]: Yes, it redirects to Irish mythology, but see the listing at the right-hand side? It also has links to e.g. Scottish mythology. You'll also notice that there are various links to various mythical beings/charact
Really, I just wanted to include both Irish and Scottish mythology in the theme, and as it's possible to refer to them as 'Gaelic mythology' in the collective, I did so. Just go google Irish/Scottish mythology :P
Let me give you a very easy and typical example of Irish mythology: the banshee. Jitter should probably look into that :D
2008-11-03 [Anvikit]: okay.. so it's just a group of different mythologies from a region of europe?
2008-11-03 [Linderel]: Basically, by my understanding. :)
2008-11-03 [Synsae]: well... I finally got something for "Dark Fairytale" though... I sorta modernized it.........
2008-11-03 [Jitter]: I already thought about a banshee before reading the comments here :P But to be honest I have always been fascinated by Brigid's story <3 And the changelings :o and the children of Lir and... and...
I might have to review my Irish Ghosts and Hauntings book...
Good thing I have about 4 on the subject :P
2008-11-03 [Synsae]: ahhh... I think I know what I want to do for the Gaelic Mythology theme (I mean, I think I know what part of Gaelic Mythology I want to do. I just got to think of how to do it.)
2008-11-04 [Synsae]: almost caught up... just need a photo for the paradise theme... yay! lol
2008-11-08 [Linderel]: Oi, people. This goes to everyone watching this page, be they current or old or future participants. How many of you would be interested in committing to review each other's portfolio works? There would be a separate wiki for this, and each week the works for one theme would be covered, starting way back from the first theme of the first round. The optional themes could be reviewed whenever - I'd leave that up to you.
Now, this would probably demand a significant portion of your time, but I think it might be very useful. So all in the favour say aye.
(I had something similar in mind some months back, but nothing so expansive. I'll have to thank Chrys for putting the notion in my head this time, no matter how indirectly.)
2008-11-08 [Chimes]: It sounds like a good idea, but I don't know whether I'd have time to do ALL of them.
2008-11-08 [Linderel]: Mm, I don't suppose it's necessary for everyone to review everything - just as long as they're all covered in some capacity. And nothing, I suppose, would stop people from reviewing something a bit later. The technical details, if we go through with this, still need to be worked out. At the moment I'm just seeing how interested people would be in this :P
2008-11-08 [Chimes]: Well, I'd review the odd entry here and there :P
2008-11-08 [Linderel]: I'll take that as an AYE :P
2008-11-08 [Chimes]: Oh yes. An aye bearing an eye from I. :P
2008-11-08 [Linderel]: Groaaaaaaan xD
2008-11-08 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Yeah it sounds like a cool idea! Would we be reviewing like one person from each category? Or just the people in our own or something like that? I'd probably have to wait til all the assignments have been posted to do it though, Rosie has little time for anything right now. Silly work/uni
2008-11-08 [Chrysilla]: aye aye, miss Lin *salutes*
2008-11-08 [Synsae]: sounds like a good idea... I would not be able to give reviews... but I would support this idea :)
2008-11-08 [Linderel]: Everyone would be reviewing everyone's work, no limitations there - except that it would be one theme at a time. You would concentrate on the works for theme X for a Z amount of time, then move on to theme Y, and so on. You could still review the works for theme X later as well.
2008-11-08 [iippo]: I say aye, but aye also have a question: when you say review, what do you mean exactly? And also, categories separate or together (so reviewing photos and art at the same time or separate?)
2008-11-08 [Linderel]: Probably using the wrong term. I blame lack of nutrition <_<
By review I mean constructive critique.
Not sure about that yet. As I said, technical details would need to be worked out.
2008-11-08 [iippo]: Ah-haa, I'm with you nao. :3
2008-11-08 [Linderel]: Is that an 'aye' I hear? :3
2008-11-08 [deeterhi]: sounds like a nice idea, if you can work out the technical details and whatnot....Aye
2008-11-09 [Duke Devlin]: AYE. :) :D :O And stuff. :)
2008-11-10 [iippo]: Aye, that was an aye. :3
2008-11-10 [Linderel]: Wheeee!
Hmm, it is Monday again. *ponder ponder*
2008-11-10 [Jitter]: Ooh I like this!
2008-11-10 [Linderel]: The theme or the critique wiki idea? :P
2008-11-10 [Jitter]: The theme. I didn't even notice the comments abive tbh. It's been a bit hectic around here :P
2008-11-10 [Linderel]: So go read the suggestion and say aye or nay! xD
Supposing it's slowed down a bit :P
2008-11-10 [Chimes]: I love this theme.
2008-11-10 [Jitter]: Hmm I like the review idea but I suck at giving cc and reviewing :/
2008-11-10 [Jitter]: hehe
2008-11-10 [Chimes]: Well, I review for both the Herald and another site I'm on (On said other site I review stories) so if you wanted some reviewing guidelines I could give a shot at typing some up. *wonders whether we have some for the new review feature...*
2008-11-10 [Jitter]: Oh yes! You definitely should right a tutorial/guide
2008-11-10 [Chimes]: Wahay! *bounces off to do it*
2008-11-10 [Duke Devlin]: Well I bet you LOVE the new theme, Chimes. :P
2008-11-10 [Chimes]: I do, I do. *hugs it*
2008-11-10 [Duke Devlin]: XD
2008-11-11 [Chimes]: What did you change? o.o;;;
2008-11-11 [Linderel]: For anyone suffering from confusion: nothing changed, I just added some keywords in hopes of enhancing our chances to be found through a Google search. :P
2008-11-11 [Chimes]: *shakes a shamefully unmenacing fist at Lin* Curse youuu! :P Love ya, really.
2008-11-11 [Linderel]: *giggle*
2008-11-11 [Duke Devlin]: *shakes a slightly more menacing fist* .. *still isn't menacing either* :P
2008-11-17 [Alexi Ice]: Too late to be interested?
2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Too late for this round, I'm afraid. But stick around, you can sign up for the next when the time comes.
2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Have fun with the new theme. :D
2008-11-17 [Duke Devlin]: .. Goody... -___- :D
2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Hmm, whuzzat? :P
2008-11-17 [Alexi Ice]: Alright cool. I figured since you were already on round four...lol. ^^
2008-11-17 [Linderel]: I'd once again like to remind you that any dictionary definition of the word is useable. ;3
2008-11-17 [Duke Devlin]: New themes. XD I'd SO far behind. :P
2008-11-17 [Alexi Ice]: So [Linderel] when do you think the next round starts? Or maybe, when do you know the next found starts?
2008-11-17 [Linderel]: Well, this one will end around the second week of January. I'll open the sign-ups soon after that, so hopefully by the beginning of February.
2008-11-17 [Alexi Ice]: Alright cool! Sign me up whenever ^^ You know I'm interested!!
2008-11-18 [Anvikit]: Okay.. so.. is "Mature Content" allowed? G-R.. I get.. but I'm still not sure where this would fall.
2008-11-18 [Linderel]: Well... how graphic is it?
2008-11-18 [Anvikit]: sculpture.. disembodied body part..
I could always write it off as a stinkhorn mushroom .. lol but eh, nevermind.. I'll just make something else..
2008-11-18 [Linderel]: Hahaha xD
Yeah, well. I don't really like limiting you any more than necessary, but personally I get queasy when confronted with graphic violence. <_<
I may rethink the rule anyhow.
2008-11-18 [Anvikit]: Salright :) Well I wouldn't call this violent.. but it may be not suitable for all ages..
2008-11-18 [Linderel]: Hmm. You could put a warning on top of your portfolio. Or something.
2008-11-18 [Linderel]: On a different note - WOOHOO! We're on the first Google results page for the keywords "portfolio contest". :D
Now to sneak onto more popular searches as well...
2008-11-18 [Anvikit]: nah salright, I'll just make something everyone can enjoy... It's already been.. Altered...
2008-11-25 [Linderel]: Gah, you should've reminded me xD
2008-11-25 [*micky*]: Nooo, have a dillema! I now have a picture possible for...Masks, seasons and Gaelic mythology xD Lolz...
2008-11-25 [Jitter]: This has to be the toughest round so far! :o
2008-11-25 [Linderel]: Might be true <_<
2008-11-25 [*micky*]: I wouldn't know, but though it is indeed! ^^
2008-12-01 [Linderel]: Ding ding ding! Last theme! As always, you may choose to portray as many (or few) of the options in your piece as you like. Take one, or take all five - entirely up to you.
2008-12-01 [Linderel]: (As a side note: If you do the second one, and do it well, I will love you forever.)
2008-12-01 [Triola]: You'll love me forever anyways, so I'm gonna need a little more than that :P
2008-12-01 [*micky*]: *feels kinda stupid* I had to look up what it ment xD...Even I who have had acting lessons:P
2008-12-01 [Linderel]: Trin, wait until you see your Christmas present. ;P
And we already know I'm your #1 fan.
2008-12-01 [Linderel]: I'm sure it's fine. :3
2008-12-01 [Triola]: You'll find out eventually :P
2008-12-01 [Linderel]: Yah :P
It's a good thing I don't have any lessons on Thursday or Friday, the gifts this year take even more preparation time than usual. *plot plot*
2008-12-01 [Triola]: I finished all presents waaay back in October :P
2008-12-01 [Linderel]: Good for you xD One year, I'm going to learn and actually start on time... Expenses would be less dramatic that way, too.
2008-12-01 [Triola]: Yeah, that's what I figured :P
2008-12-02 [Jitter]: I haven't started yet :/ I found myself buried under tons of design work (and WoW) and baby (and WoW) and getting intimate with teh hubby (and WoW) blah. Need 27 hours in a day
2008-12-02 [Jitter]: oh by the way: http://www.dar
2008-12-02 [Synsae]: frakking hell... the cord I use to get images from my camera to my PC is missing... and I took some good photos for this contest too... *shakes fist violently*
hopefully I find it before the due date...
2008-12-02 [Linderel]: Well, you do have roughly a month :P
2008-12-02 [Synsae]: yeah, but when things like that disappear on me... it usually takes me over a month to find it...
2008-12-02 [Linderel]: *crosses fingers*
2008-12-02 [Synsae]: and this confuses me too... cause I just used it yesterday to get photos from my camera to my PC
note: the photos I took off my camera yesterday were not related to this contest... but the photos I took today, and need to get off it, do relate to this contest
2008-12-02 [Linderel]: Process of elimination, then. Where's the least likely place, or the most likely place for it to be, etc. Where do you remember seeing/holding it last?
2008-12-02 [Synsae]: right where I sit now.... or in my desk draw where I keep all my cords
2008-12-02 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Checking every inch in your busiest areas help a lot. I tend to over look it several times before I realize it's right there.
Sometimes I absentmindedly lay something down along my 'busy' paths.
I laid a lens cap down on a table my dad uses and I was looking in the places I usually set it, couldn't find it. x.x
2008-12-02 [Synsae]: yeah, somehow... I feel my brother probably took it.... I'll ask him next time I see him... and I'll resume looking for it tomorrow...
2008-12-02 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Oh. =o Well, good luck at finding it!
2008-12-03 [deeterhi]: Gah! You've finally set a theme that has stumped me....i don't know what to do.....
2008-12-03 [Linderel]: Remember that you only have to pick one, if you so wish. You can do one or all, I don't really care. :D
2008-12-03 [Duke Devlin]: That's a really quite cool way of doing it. ^^ I wonder if I could incorporate all...~~ *ponders away*
2008-12-03 [Duke Devlin]: (Which means I am also wandering away.. :P)
2008-12-04 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Oof I promise I shall catch up soon :)
Just as soon as I remember what sleep is :-/ Curse work and uni...
2008-12-04 [Synsae]: hurray! I found the missing cord! As I somewhat suspected, my brother took it.
2008-12-05 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: So I will upload like crazy once Finals are done!
2008-12-08 [Linderel]: Last month starting nao.
2008-12-08 [Anvikit]: Thanks for putting up the deadline :)
Quick question.. would a custom DIY Toy (Munny) count as a personal project? Since I didn't actually make the mold.. But I am the one giving it it's character?
.. like a blank canvas in toy form..
2008-12-08 [Chimes]: I will be having fun with this... :)
2008-12-08 [Anvikit]: Shaweet... Cause I'm gonna be working on one now.. it's turning out so awesome so far.. (If my son doesn't break his horns off lol)
2008-12-08 [Duke Devlin]: How DAMN!
2008-12-09 [Annie T.]: Whew...I have a lot to catch up on.
2008-12-09 [vegetoot]: Thank something for setting the deadline after Christmas, I might even have time to take pictures :).
2008-12-09 [Duke Devlin]: Hehe :) I'm only just doing my second and third weeks... XP
2008-12-09 [Linderel]: Duh, of course it's after Christmas. I always give at least a month. :P
2008-12-09 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Wahey, that should be enough time to catch up. Especially as I've just kicked the shit out of this damn essay. I can officially say this module is now my bitch!
2008-12-10 [Duke Devlin]: *Laughs at module, on your behalf* *MOCKS IT IN FACT!!!*
:D
2008-12-12 [Chimes]: *beefing up the portfolio* Ooooh, yeaaaah.
2008-12-14 [Duke Devlin]: *Not portfolio beefing*
2008-12-27 [Synsae]: well... I just completed my portfolio 
2008-12-27 [Chimes]: Wowsa! *runs to look*
2008-12-28 [Duke Devlin]: :O WELL DONE!
2009-01-02 [Jitter]: Finished :3 Cassandrart portfolio bwiiii
2009-01-02 [Synsae]: lol, good timing for me to finish my portfolio... my PC died yesterday... seriously! it did!.... I'm on my dad's PC right now (which is going back to NH with him in a few days)
2009-01-03 [Duke Devlin]: Oh dear.. Time is running out. D:
2009-01-03 [Chrysilla]: Yep, time to panic.
2009-01-03 [Tableau Vivant]: Well, Tableau portfolio is finished too! =D
2009-01-03 [Jitter]: ^^ Congrats
2009-01-05 [Duke Devlin]: *Panicking* D:
2009-01-05 [Linderel]: Don't panic, write!
2009-01-05 [Duke Devlin]: I will! D: But I have to do the neglected homework! XD
2009-01-05 [Jitter]: I don't know if I will be able to finish my writing portfolio in time :(
2009-01-05 [Chimes]: I'm hoping I will :] I only have a couple more to do... one is pretty much done anyway...
2009-01-06 [vegetoot]: I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything done, I'm sorry :(.
2009-01-06 [Duke Devlin]: You tried :)
See I am just gonna be crazy writing for the next few days. XD
2009-01-06 [Chimes]: Me too! Including an essay. DX
2009-01-06 [Duke Devlin]: SAME! D: *wails*
2009-01-06 [Chimes]: Both essays? :P
2009-01-06 [Duke Devlin]: .... Shhh... *coughYEScough*
2009-01-06 [Chimes]: *sing song voice* Diiiittooo~
2009-01-06 [Duke Devlin]: Heheh XD
2009-01-06 [Chimes]: :D We're bad, bad people.
2009-01-06 [Duke Devlin]: Oh yes. That we are.
2009-01-07 [Linderel]: I still have both of my term papers to write :D
2009-01-07 [Jitter]: I am worse because I have comissions and I'm procrastinatin
2009-01-07 [Linderel]: Well, study points are nice to have, too... They ensure my income.
2009-01-07 [Chrysilla]: can we get a little more time for the writingfolio, pretty please? *puppy eyes*
2009-01-07 [Linderel]: Deadline's the same for all folios, but I may or may not extend it. We'll see.
2009-01-07 [Chimes]: I think I have... three and a half more to do? XD Maybe. I need to write! Both essays and weird things...
2009-01-07 [Duke Devlin]: Alas, I have the majority of mine to do. I actually feel more sorry for the Photography and Art ones, as they require somewhat more planning than spontaneous writing and such. :P
2009-01-07 [Chimes]: Very true. Though you caaaan do spontaneous Photography.
2009-01-07 [Duke Devlin]: True. >.> D:
Unlike Philosophy. You can't just go 'Oh, I feel like philosophising now!' and sit there, thinking up new theories and critiquing others! :P XD Well, you can, but it'd be somewhat odd. ;) (Sorry, getting into A level subjects now. XP)
2009-01-07 [Chimes]: XD Haha. That would be amusing.
2009-01-07 [Duke Devlin]: Now I intend to do it, of course.
2009-01-07 [Chimes]: I figured as much.
2009-01-07 [Duke Devlin]: Pah! No you didn't. I deem that lies, trickery, deceit, witchcraft, villainy, slander, heresy, treason, treachery, assault and of course, larceny!
2009-01-07 [Chimes]: Are you quite finished? :P
2009-01-07 [Duke Devlin]: Actually, no. But I refuse to litter this page too much more with my seemingly pointless shouts of crimes!
2009-01-11 [Linderel]: 1. Changed the deadline! You can breathe a momentary sigh of relief now.
2. I had an idea that I'll probably implement right at the end of this very same round. Aside from the winners, I am going to be personally picking out a favourite from each portfolio and figure out a badge/other prize for those.
2009-01-11 [Zacky Stardust]: Oh my god, thank you so much... I was freaking out trying to finish things for this contest as well as my AP Studio Art portfolio... Thank you, thank you, thank you! <3
2009-01-11 [Linderel]: The hostess is a trifle busy as well, so it was best all around xD
2009-01-11 [Zacky Stardust]: Awesome, that's always a good thing. xD
2009-01-11 [Linderel]: Uni is evil, but I love it nonetheless. :3 <3
2009-01-11 [*micky*]: Woa thanks you so much...I was totaly blank for the last theme:P
2009-01-11 [Duke Devlin]: Hehe :P Now I actually have a hope of being judged. XD
2009-01-11 [Chrysilla]: Lin, I love you *squeezes*
2009-01-11 [Able Insane]: When can we sign up for the next contest?
2009-01-11 [Linderel]: When this round is over. :)
2009-01-15 [Anvikit]: Sweet awsomeness!!! I still have time to finish taking pictures!! and well finish a few projects too.. :D thank you so much!! .. now to get off the procrastinatio
2009-01-19 [Annie T.]: I don't think I'm gonna make it...
2009-01-19 [Linderel]: None of this defeatist attitude! :P
