Portfolio Contest

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: Actually, that's an excellent reason to participate - as it says up there on the page (if in a fairly roundabout way), this whole thing is geared towards giving you something for later life. Winning would be just an added bonus. :D Thus I have no intention of dropping you from the judging. :P

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: *pokes the category description* That's better for this.

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: oh you changed it XD supersweet! XD *hugs*

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: :3

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: :D I actually have to create a written portfolio so that I can get into Uni. This is a BIG help towards that.

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: Great. :D
Hmmm. I wonder if I should shadow participate in the writing, just for kicks. :P

... the photographers are going to hate me in week six. :P

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: im mainly writing for a future anthology ^^ this helps muchos! i would never get around to do it otherwise:p

oh dear, what you have in store? XD

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: Glad to be of help :D

Can't tell you that! The themes are the same for everyone, but I imagine that particular one will be more difficult for the photographers to do. xD

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: curioussssss!:p

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: You'll just have to wait. :P

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: patience, i has it:p

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: I am going to be a regular here at this contest, I can tell. :P

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: not the only one! *pokes*:p

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: Eep! Aaah! Poking!

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: yes! P.O.K.I.N.G!

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: *hides behind... someone*

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: Regulars yay! :D

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: *big grin* You won't be able to get rid of me.

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: *walks by with disposable garbage bags*

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: I lurves me some regulars aye :D

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: aye!

wait.. i mean.. ahhrr!

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: He's plotting my death!

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: who me? im just an innocent janitor!

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: Tell it to the Judge! :P

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: you mean.. judge superfudge?

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: I'm not too sure.

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: or fudge superjudge?

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: Does it have to rhyme? :P

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: you have any better ideas?:p

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: Let me think on it.

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: time's up!

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: Hah. I'm totally shadowing with the written category.

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: ebil!

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: Why? :O

2008-10-01 [Trennas]: hey, in my book thats a compliment!:p

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: Oh, alright. :D

2008-10-01 [Easterling]: This is going to be awesome to follow - there are so many great artists - and writers, too - up there!

I want to praise [Linderel] so much for coming up with this idea. This is the absolute best contest in Elftown. It involves so much of inspiration, creativeness and imagination and a lot of people from different levels of experience can take part and learn from each other. It must mean a lot of work behind every round, and I just want to say thankyou for doing this!

2008-10-01 [Linderel]: *blushes and glows* =^___^= <3

2008-10-01 [Chimes]: Awwwh! That was sweet. The blushing and glowing, too.

2008-10-01 [Easterling]: It felt like something that just had to be said. :)

2008-10-02 [Trennas]: that being said, get down from your cloud #9 again, and get crackin' on those themes Lin! *cracks whip*:p

2008-10-02 [Linderel]: Oi! The only one cracking whips here will be me!
And as for the themes, I usually come up with them when it's time to put a new one up. Or poke [nekorin] to invent one. This time I just had a few ideas in advance. :P

2008-10-02 [Duke Devlin]: Hey I am SOOOO being a regular too! :D Even though I have the extreme luck of not requiring a portfolio for my uni courses. :P Writing = Life.

2008-10-02 [Chimes]: I like requiring a portfolio. :]

2008-10-02 [Duke Devlin]: As would I. However, journalism requires it not!

2008-10-02 [Chimes]: You've decided then? :D AWESOME! ^^

2008-10-02 [Duke Devlin]: Yep. :D English & Journalism Joint. :D

2008-10-02 [Chimes]: You and I might cross paths then... if you go to Chester. :P

2008-10-03 [windowframe]: What would you want to go to Chester for? Go to Bristol. :P

2008-10-03 [Chimes]: Paaah! :P Chester looks amazing. ^^

2008-10-03 [windowframe]: Bristol is MOAR amazing! :D

2008-10-03 [Chimes]: I have me heart set on Chester :P

2008-10-03 [windowframe]: Why?

2008-10-03 [Chimes]: It seems like a very 'me' place. :]

2008-10-03 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Forget chester and Bristol... come to Lancaster with me!

(And rawr I'm back online! So I'll be doing an entry tomorrowwwwwww)

2008-10-04 [Trennas]: im so glad i can just stay in my own little happy place ^^

2008-10-04 [Teufelsweib]: nieuwegein??? O___o

2008-10-04 [Linderel]: I loved it there. I'm sure you'll recall. xD

2008-10-04 [Teufelsweib]: yes, but it is quite a crappy city compared to others :P

2008-10-04 [Linderel]: Hehe. Perhaps. :P

2008-10-04 [nehirwen]: I wouldn't want to live there, I think. :\

2008-10-04 [Trennas]: no you dont:p nieuwegein sucks:p

i meant my own little happy place.. in my head..

2008-10-04 [Teufelsweib]: ah, explains a lot already xD

Nieuwegein indeed sucks -_-
(Jamai gave a concert here today O____o)

2008-10-04 [Tableau Vivant]: It sucks so badXD

2008-10-04 [nehirwen]: I don't think I've been there ever, it just sounds bad xD :p
Uggh.. jamai

2008-10-04 [Teufelsweib]: in the top three of most ugliest cities of holland, we were second xD

yahhh >___<

2008-10-05 [arthemis_]: Haha, I was thinking 'Jamai'? Our Jamai? And then I saw the name Slavork :P Never knew that Nieuwegein was an ugly city... why is that?

2008-10-05 [Trennas]: come visit and find out:p

2008-10-05 [arthemis_]: lol :D Maybe at a Dutchie Day? Is there something like an Elftown Dutchie day?

2008-10-05 [Trennas]: not really XD we had a meeting in utrecht once, twas fun:)

2008-10-05 [Teufelsweib]: we should have a meeting again sometime :O
but not in Nieuwegein xD it's too ugly for a meeting xP

2008-10-05 [Trennas]: lets go to utrecht again!:p

2008-10-05 [Teufelsweib]: ok =D
and this time decide what to do before we go xD

2008-10-05 [Trennas]: yeah that might be a good idea:p

2008-10-05 [Teufelsweib]: dutchies meeting!

2008-10-05 [Linderel]: ;_;
You'll have to arrange a Dutchie meeting when I'm there!

2008-10-05 [Trennas]: well when are you there?:p

2008-10-05 [Linderel]: That's still open.
I'm coming there in exchange... probably to Groningen. :P Next autumn at the earliest.

2008-10-05 [nehirwen]: Groningen is nice. :) <3

2008-10-05 [Linderel]: I'd have liked to go to Utrecht or Nijmegen, but apparently my uni is only cooperating with the one in Groningen. Not as many interesting courses there...

2008-10-05 [Trennas]: never been to groningen.. its a hell to get to and get back from XD

2008-10-05 [Linderel]: So I've understood :P

2008-10-06 [Trennas]: yeah, our country may be small, but since the public transport is very incompetent its a pain in the ass to get anywhere :s well not so much getting somewhere, but getting back is often a problem :p

2008-10-06 [Linderel]: Holy shite, it's Monday! Why didn't you people remind me, I've been off in la-la land again. xD

2008-10-06 [Trennas]: hahaha XD well i personally have been busy so i didnt really think about it either XD cool theme though! but as it seems im not going to be able to participate that much.. school interferes once again :(

2008-10-06 [Linderel]: Nuuu! Oh well, there's still plenty of time even if you fall behind a bit. :3

2008-10-06 [Trennas]: yeah, but im gonna be booked pretty solid until january:s

2008-10-06 [Duke Devlin]: Wow I'm behind. D:

2008-10-06 [Linderel]: o_o
That makes me sad. ;_;

2008-10-06 [Triola]: Dark fairytales? I hate you >.<

2008-10-06 [Linderel]: What? Whaaaaaaat? :O

2008-10-06 [Triola]: I have no clue what to do for the photograph section xD

2008-10-06 [Linderel]: Oh you're going to hate me even more in week six :P

2008-10-06 [Triola]: Possibly :P Though I'll most likely hate everyone and anything in six weeks, exams will do that to you x)

2008-10-06 [Trennas]: i still love you!
*hugs*

2008-10-06 [Linderel]: Exams be eeeeebil :P *slobber*

2008-10-06 [Trennas]: you should be! you should be!

2008-10-06 [Duke Devlin]: *fears* D: It's my own fault for being a procrastinator. :P

2008-10-06 [Trennas]: yes! you will SUFFER!

2008-10-06 [Duke Devlin]: *sniffle* I will. D: But I am so behind in everything. :( Not only ET. :(

2008-10-06 [Trennas]: youre not the only one:p

2008-10-06 [Triola]: Not by a long shot >.< Bah.

2008-10-06 [Duke Devlin]: D: Well, we can be procrastinators together! D:

2008-10-06 [Triola]: No way, I'm starting a new and better life! Tomorrow >.>

2008-10-07 [Linderel]: I still think this is a piece of cake compared to week six. *whistles*

2008-10-07 [Triola]: If I hear one more word about week six, my curiosity will more than likely choke me >.<

2008-10-07 [Linderel]: :x

2008-10-07 [Trennas]: so.. week six huh?

2008-10-07 [Linderel]: Hey! Don't go making people choke! Trin's supposed to visit me in a week!

2008-10-07 [Trennas]: wasnt she supposed to visit you in week.. oh.. i dont know.. six?:p

2008-10-07 [Tyrana]: I always miss this. I'm such a bonehead. I love watching everyone's portfolios so far, though!

2008-10-07 [Duke Devlin]: I haven't even started. XD I keep losing inspiration,. I shall probably do both on thursday of something.

2008-10-07 [Jitter]: .... Week six? Can I arrange to give birth to quantaplets to avoid it? :P

2008-10-07 [Linderel]: I'd like to see that :P

2008-10-07 [Trennas]: i really really wouldnt:p

2008-10-07 [Synsae]: ....... I know I have not exactly been paying much attention here but..... what?????

2008-10-07 [Trennas]: its for your own good:p

2008-10-08 [Jitter]: Question Do you mind if we post poems we wrote for the PC in Daily Poem? :3

2008-10-08 [Linderel]: Nope, go ahead. :P

2008-10-08 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Pew pew, I have an AWESOME idea for this theme, but I'm currently bedridden with flu (And I'm whispering like a dirty phonecaller haha), so I shall have it up sooooon

2008-10-12 [Chimes]: I have an idea, I am writing it now... and it is REALLY different from how I assume most people will interpret the theme.

2008-10-12 [Duke Devlin]: Hmm.. I believe that I should really catch up on this. :P

2008-10-12 [Chimes]: You probably should, yes. College work first though, missy. XD

2008-10-12 [Duke Devlin]: I know. D: I so WANT to be doing nice creative writing right now.. :(

2008-10-12 [Chimes]: Awwh. *huggles*

2008-10-12 [Duke Devlin]: :D *huggles* ^^ Much better than doing work.. *cough* :D

2008-10-12 [Chimes]: It is true. XD

2008-10-12 [Duke Devlin]: :D Exactly! ^^ I am still starting the commentary. D: It is FAILING.

2008-10-12 [Chimes]: Mine failed too, don't worry.

2008-10-12 [Duke Devlin]: XD Oh well, Ruth will survive. XD

2008-10-13 [Trennas]: *pokes [Linderel]* post a new theme, ye lazy bugger:p

2008-10-13 [Linderel]: Aaaaaaye.
Post your entries, ye lazy buggers!

2008-10-13 [Chimes]: Mine is nearing completion :P I like this theme too. :D

2008-10-13 [Linderel]: Just be glad I didn't post the one I initially thought of. <_<
I saved that one for one of week ten's options. >:D

2008-10-13 [Chimes]: Oh? Is it a scary theme? XD Will it be hard?

2008-10-13 [Linderel]: I think it'll be pretty hard, yeah... :P But easiest for the writers, probably.

2008-10-13 [Chimes]: HOORAY!

2008-10-13 [Trennas]: lucky bastards are we, the lot of us:p

2008-10-13 [Chrysilla]: -> is caught up with the wedding preparatives

2008-10-13 [Kuruni]: I assume we have to post new photos and drawings right? not things we have posted somewhere else?

2008-10-13 [Triola]: She would prefer new ones, but you are allowed to use old work :)

2008-10-13 [Duke Devlin]: Wow.. Now I am three weeks behind. :P Curse procrastination! D: *curses it*
Okay, I will TRULY do these this week. :P

2008-10-14 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Yay I wrote a poem >.< At least I think it's a poem... I'm shite at poetry heh.

I'll also be posting my week 2 entry next week... after I submit it to my CreW workshop so I can get some feedback on it!

2008-10-14 [Jitter]: Now what do I write for the writingfolio...? >.<

2008-10-14 [Annie T.]: Haha...yay writers!

2008-10-15 [Kuruni]: alright thank you!!!!

2008-10-15 [NamelessMerc]: Meep, I'm so far behind... Procrastination takes up so much damned time!

2008-10-15 [Chrysilla]: finally put up the week 2 photo. nothing written yet, reason: see above. enjoy.

2008-10-18 [Byne]: Is it too late to join this contest? x____x

2008-10-18 [Jitter]: Yes. But you can sign up for the next round :) (Or follow this one unofficially)

2008-10-18 [Byne]: I'll join the next round. Give me a shout when it starts?

2008-10-18 [Duke Devlin]: I'm SO far behind. XD
I have to do all of them. :P
Oh well, I have a week off soon. PERFECT. :D

2008-10-19 [Byne]: I just wish I'd known about this before hand.....

2008-10-19 [Duke Devlin]: Ahh well, there is always next time.

2008-10-19 [Byne]: I know. But I am impatient?

2008-10-20 [Jitter]: WTB new theme kthxbai


:P

2008-10-20 [Byne]: Om... What does WTB stand for?

2008-10-20 [Jitter]: Want to buy. It's WoWslang

2008-10-20 [Chrysilla]: allow me to contradict you, it's international mmorpg slang :D

2008-10-20 [Jitter]: Whatever :D WoW is the mmorpg king ;)

2008-10-20 [Trennas]: to be dethroned when Knights of the Old Republic is released ^^

2008-10-20 [Linderel]: Theme coming soon. Couldn't update earlier, was on train :P

2008-10-20 [Linderel]: Traditional themes ftw xD

2008-10-20 [*micky*]: Aaah now Im one behind xD

2008-10-20 [Anvikit]: flower vase.. hummm.. I like this one..

2008-10-20 [Byne]: Can I sign up for this round? O:

2008-10-20 [Anvikit]: Nope, sorry [Byne] The portfolio contest has already begun, You had to sign up before the first round began then continue it through the whole 10 weeks 10 rounds.

But that doesn't mean you can't create ,photograph or write about anything in any of the rounds just for your own amusement :D

2008-10-21 [Linderel]: [Byne]: Like they said. :P You'll just have to wait, unfortunately. However, as also said, nothing stops you from shadowing for fun. :3

Anyway... this is round number four, of which week four just began. Each round has ten given themes and two self-picked ones, and lasts roughly fourteen weeks. Don't go confusing the terms.

2008-10-21 [Byne]: Ah... I got slightly confused. As Jitter said in an early comment that I just had to wait for the next round.... COnfusion. x______x

2008-10-21 [Jitter]: Yep, round, not week :)

2008-10-21 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Hmmm... pondering this one

2008-10-21 [Chimes]: Ideas, ideas. :]

2008-10-21 [Jitter]: You're trying to ruin my plan to make a dark portfolio -.-;

2008-10-22 [Linderel]: Sowwies!
It's not that hard to turn this theme into a dark one, though.

2008-10-22 [Jitter]: Ah yes, I do have something in mind... :P

But right now I'll go to bed :P
