Portfolio Contest

2008-05-14 [Triola]: I'll find someone, don't worry, I have months :P

2008-05-14 [sequeena_rae]: Lies!

2008-05-14 [Linderel]: Okay, this is getting entirely too random xD

2008-05-26 [Easterling]: I think I'll take away my portfolio from the list. I'm sad to say that I've been way too busy this semester for being able to keep up with the themes. Maybe some other time I can do another try, but for now, I'll just stay and watch all you others' great works! :)

2008-05-26 [Easterling]: Oh,I guess I can't change it? well.. maybe you can do it for me, [Linderel]..

2008-05-26 [Triola]: There's no use removing it. All that will happen anyway is that you're not eligible to win :)

2008-05-26 [Easterling]: Ok, then it's all right. :)

2008-05-27 [blu.nation]: x) I absolutely did not have time to do this. I'd make a last ditch attempt, but the month has been too stressful already. I'm sorry I didn't manage, even with the ridiculous amount of time we had...

2008-05-27 [Triola]: It's really too bad you didn't finish yours, I think you'd have had a good shot at winning otherwise!

2008-05-27 [Linderel]: I think I shall despair soon :P

2008-05-27 [Triola]: I finished! :D

2008-05-27 [Linderel]: Yush <3
But as wonderful as that is, it is a small comfort ;_;
Why oh whyyyy does this always happen? *moan, whine*

2008-05-27 [Triola]: Because everyone except me seem to have lives? >.>

2008-05-27 [Linderel]: Stupid real life. *grumble*

2008-05-27 [Jitter]: Hey, I finished as well ;p

2008-05-27 [vegetoot]: I'd almost ask if the deadline could be set to the fifteenth, becuase I've got my last exams tormorrow, and a familyweekend coming up. But I won't O=]. *tries to manage*

2008-05-27 [Linderel]: Aye, you did ^_^ *lubs on Jitter*
I will not be guilt-tripped into changing it further :P Or perhaps I will, because I'm way too soft, and I may yet be comatose when the current deadline rolls around. We'll see.

2008-06-03 [vegetoot]: At this moment, I don't know if I'll be able to finish my portfolio. My father died an hour ago (the dutch people who read my diary will probably know it already), and there's still a lot to do for his funeral, besides the fact I don't even realise it now.
I guess it's one of the best excuses possible, but unfortunately enough... I didn't make it up. I'll try to manage, cause I'll be truly sorry if I won't be able to finish this.

2008-06-03 [Galatea]: Oh lord, I am so so sorry! :(

2008-06-03 [Linderel]: I'm sorry to hear it. Make Allison hug you for me the next time you meet, yah?

2008-06-03 [Jitter]: I'm so sorry :( *hugs*

2008-06-06 [sequeena_rae]: My finishing this contest isn't going to happen. Sorry Lami, I really wanted to :/

2008-06-06 [Linderel]: *sigh* Oh well. Life happens. :)

2008-06-08 [vegetoot]: Finished. I guess.

2008-06-10 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: lol I've got all my images... just didn't upload them. That's what I call being prepared... Still want em lin?

2008-06-10 [Linderel]: Ah. Yeah. Hang on.

2008-06-10 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: lol love ya Lin!

2008-06-11 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: Woooot! Done! Fake isn't all that origional.. though I've had it for months... but still! Every Category! *feels proud* :P 

2008-06-11 [Galatea]: congratulations and great job!  And that goes to everyone that finished!

2008-07-13 [Linderel]: Forgive me for the extremely long wait - it's about to get longer. Tomorrow, I leave for our summer house and will stay there the whole week, and while I may get my own part of the judging done tonight, I cannot announce winners before I get at least a third opinion. I do, however, promise to get the results up by the end of the month.
Thanks so much for your patience, and apologies again!

2008-07-13 [vegetoot]: I'm looking forward to it^^. Fortunately there is life besides the portfolio contest :P.

2008-07-13 [Triola]: :O There is life beside the portfolio contest?! Why did no one tell me this?

2008-07-13 [sequeena_rae]: Because you are a sad, delusioned individual :p

2008-07-13 [Triola]: Worst part is, it's true >.< :P

2008-07-13 [sequeena_rae]: oh yes!

2008-07-13 [Triola]: But you're an attention-hungry diary-whore, so it's alright :3

2008-07-13 [sequeena_rae]: Oh you know me. There's no point in having an uncle murdered if you can't write about it.

2008-07-13 [Triola]: Keeping the mood light, I see. I was more referring to the cat-stuff, which you know I adore (to tease you about), but we can go with the dead uncle if you'd rather. I warn you though, it will only end in a huggle-fest. Are you prepared to face the consequences? 

2008-07-13 [sequeena_rae]: Oh fuck no, keep well away from me woman!

2008-07-13 [Triola]: *snugglesmothers*

2008-07-13 [sequeena_rae]: >________________< *beats*

2008-07-13 [Triola]: I can feel the love in this room :3 *cuddles*

2008-07-13 [sequeena_rae]: You should go into counselling.

2008-07-13 [Linderel]: Oi, girls, change of venue now! :P

2008-07-13 [Triola]: Yes, mother :P

2008-07-14 [Jitter]: There's indeed life beyond this contest. But it seems to pretty much override everything else lately :s

2008-07-14 [Teufelsweib]: trin, jitter, squee, am sending you girls lami's love through a text message :3

2008-07-15 [sequeena_rae]: Tell Lami I tried to text her but my phone does not understand how to do such a thing xD

2008-07-15 [Teufelsweib]: hahahaha... will do the next time I text her xD

2008-07-15 [Triola]: I texted her :D

2008-07-15 [sequeena_rae]: I don't understand oversea codes so I don't know how to do it :/

2008-07-15 [Triola]: I just got the entire number from Vorkje >.>

2008-07-15 [Teufelsweib]: squee, want her phonenumber aswell?:)

2008-07-15 [sequeena_rae]: Got her number...if it's the one in the personal box at the bottom of her page...

2008-07-15 [Teufelsweib]: hmmm... perhaps instead of the +, use 00. that always works for me :)

2008-07-15 [sequeena_rae]: oh kay!

2008-07-15 [Triola]: I can't see the number in the personal box :( It's like... blank is my cell number.

2008-07-15 [Linderel]: That's weird o_O

2008-07-15 [Triola]: I thought so too. But I've noticed it happen before. All phonenumbers go all Skype, and they disappear for short intervals every now and then. They come back after a while, though.

2008-07-15 [Linderel]: Huh.

2008-07-15 [vegetoot]: Makes me think of:

Pvt. MacGregor: "Thank you, sir! That's very helpful! It's all very clear now!"_{Call of Duty 2 Single Player}

2008-08-27 [Triola]: *pokepokepokepokepoke*

2008-08-27 [Linderel]: *goes prostrate* Begging for forgiveness sirs and madams! Won't be long now!

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: Winners up as soon as I get badges done. Hopefully tonight.
Advertisement time, my lovelies!

2008-08-29 [Triola]: Trying something new this round :D

2008-08-29 [Sherya]: Oh, it's a new round? Kewl. :3

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: Yush. Fancy taking part, Sher? :D
(Yes, I did just abbreviate your name :P)

2008-08-29 [Triola]: Let's make that Cher! :D

2008-08-29 [Triola]: And this is very scary, just as I posted that they started playing a Cher song on the TV o.o

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: o_O

2008-08-29 [Chrysilla]: New contest, yay! ^^ Can I take part again? :D

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: Go ahead! But I like to get new contestants as well, so don't forget to advertise. :3

2008-08-29 [Tableau Vivant]: Oooooooooooooooh, I might be joining the photo portfolio.... thinking about it =P

2008-08-29 [Triola]: Dodododo! :D

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: Joooooooooooin!

2008-08-29 [Chrysilla]: okay, we have a deal :D
Any news about the results on the other one?

2008-08-29 [Tableau Vivant]: Well..... okay =P
I guess I'll take the (older) camera with me to Amsterdam, so I can keep on shooting over there! =D

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: Yay!

2008-08-29 [Iuna]: yay, I'm going to join again ^^ hopefully I'll still have time to make photos when I'm in Wageningen! I'll try! =)

2008-08-29 [Teufelsweib]: awesome that you're joining, Sndur! =D

2008-08-29 [Teufelsweib]: congrats to the winners, btw! ^^

2008-08-29 [Jitter]: Congratulations!

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: Hallo Jitter xD

2008-08-29 [Zacky Stardust]: Ugh. I kind of want to try again, but I failed so hard at the last round that I don't know if I should... I have so much art I need to work on for AP Studio Art.

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: I would say to participate in any case, but - if you're not sure whether you have time, perhaps it's better to skip.

2008-08-29 [Jitter]: Hello there ^_^ :P xD

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: You're my faithful regular, eh xD Not that I mind at all <3 *slobber*

2008-08-29 [Jitter]: *luffles*

I promised I'll be in every round if I can and I will ^^

I need the motivation too ;)

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: *grope*

You did? Yegods, my brain, it's like cheese. All the better, then! :D

Bweehee. :3

2008-08-29 [Jitter]: If you need names for the wiki make it "cass portfolio" or something. Or "nanouk" or w/e xD

I need sleep but I'm busy painting Drizzt <3 *huggles*

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: Will do! xD
Drizzt <3<3

2008-08-29 [Zacky Stardust]: Maybe once more people sign up I'll see how my art schedule looks then xD
Eh, sorry for being sort of a lurker. D8 I felt bad about not completing everything last time.

2008-08-29 [Linderel]: Well, you did try, that's the important thing. :3

2008-08-30 [Zacky Stardust]: I had more pictures that I actually meant to submit but totally never finished. D; Inspiration can be quite inconvenient sometimes.

2008-08-30 [Linderel]: Muses are bitches! This is a universally acknowledged fact.

2008-08-30 [Jitter]: Sadists is a better word I think!

2008-08-30 [Linderel]: That is also true xD

2008-08-30 [Zacky Stardust]: Indeed. Dx My inspiration always pops up at the most inconvenient times. Like, I've been experiencing writers block for like a week and I finally was able to start getting something done earlier... and then suddenly my friend calls and talks for like an hour and totally massacres what little inspiration I mustered up.

2008-08-30 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: *DOES FREAKING CRAZY HAPPY DANCE* I WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN! FIRST TIME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never ever, thought I'd beat anyone! some of the photo's where so incredibly creative! Thanks so much everyone!

2008-08-30 [Chrysilla]: Congratulations, Scarlet Now let's party!

2008-08-30 [Linderel]: Scarlet, feel like claiming any of the additional prizes (jewellery or writing)? :3

2008-08-30 [Kelaria]: Writing is one of the additional prizes? :D What kind of writing? I'm intrigued! ^^

2008-08-30 [Linderel]: It is now, since I really can't be bothered to bring my bookbinding supplies all the way to my new apartment :P
Uhm, well, a story or a poem, about whatever the winner wants.

2008-08-30 [Triola]: Can I get jewellery? :3 You can have it done by October :D

2008-08-30 [Linderel]: Yes ma'am :D
Earrings/necklace/bracelet?

2008-08-30 [Triola]: Hmmm.... I don't know *thinkthinkthink* Earrings or bracelet? You decide!

2008-08-30 [windowframe]: *signs up* I will do bettar this time. <.<

2008-08-30 [Linderel]: Halloooes.

Trin, okay :o I'll see about it when I go to Helsinki, I don't have my jewellery stuff here with me yet. :3

2008-08-30 [Triola]: You have a couple of months :P

2008-08-30 [Linderel]: Yah, but I like to stuff ASAP if I have the chance. :P

2008-08-31 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: oooo! Jewellery! But can I see a sample? I'd like to see the styles!

2008-08-31 [Triola]: Lin's Jewellery :)

2008-08-31 [Tableau Vivant]: The rings are amazing =O <3

2008-08-31 [Linderel]: That wiki is so outdated <_<

2008-08-31 [Triola]: Do something about it ;)

2008-08-31 [Linderel]: This is, at the moment, only partly doable :P

2008-08-31 [Triola]: You can add the picture I took with the ones you made me last Christmas :)

2008-08-31 [Linderel]: Uuumph. Can you link plz? xD

2008-08-31 [Triola]: Alright, but only since you asked so nicely :P

2008-08-31 [Linderel]: *slobbers*

2008-08-31 [Triola]: *snuggles* :3

2008-08-31 [Kelaria]: My bracelet is on that page! :D Hooray! If I ever win this contest again, I think I'll ask for earrings! ^^ Course, that's if I get up the courage to enter again and if I do well enough to win! :P

2008-08-31 [Linderel]: Haha, there's only one way to find out ;3

2008-09-01 [Kelaria]: Oh heck... I'll go for it! :D But I already made the page... is that okay? I didn't think I'd sign up again yet! But I wanted to keep up anyway (like I have been, silly me!) :P It should be at Kelaria portfolio 4. I'll sign the page over to you if you want. :) Just let me know!

2008-09-01 [Linderel]: We'll see about it when it's time for the round to actually start. If you do use that page, you won't have to sign it over to me until the end of the round. :) (And I've the privs to do it myself, as a matter of fact.)

2008-09-01 [Triola]: The art part of the competition is looking awesome so far! I'm so glad I decided to sit that one out, now I can focus on simply enjoying the battle :3

2008-09-02 [Annie T.]: Yay, congratulations!

2008-09-02 [Kelaria]: Ohh! That's handy! ^_^ Well it's all yours to take over if you want :) I had made the pages up to a certain number a while ago, just because I was making it a personal goal to keep up with this contest (it helps my creativity! hehe!) even if I wasn't officially entered! ^^ I'm silly like that! :P This contest is a really awesome idea! That's why it's so popular ;) I certainly enjoy it! Even when I'm not officially entered, it's fun to try to come up with things to fit the themes! :D

2008-09-02 [Kelaria]: *is a total dork* XD

2008-09-02 [Linderel]: It's always nice to know my ideas are appreciated <3
And shadow participation is totally cool, I should do it more myself xD

2008-09-02 [Jitter]: It's my favourite contest :3

2008-09-02 [Linderel]: <3<3

2008-09-03 [Kelaria]: I'm not always brave enough to enter! ^^ Plus, I want to give other people a chance to enter the contest too! :)

2008-09-03 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: I won once! Better not push my luck! Besides.. I'm too busy with school, my camera died, and I don't have easy access to a scanner! :P

2008-09-04 [Kuruni]: I'm not really sure how all of this works but i will give it a try.....

So i have to create one image for each theme, but will have to create two extra images of my own theme on each category?

Help, i'm ridiculously confused, i'm tired.

2008-09-04 [Triola]: Each week there is a new theme up until ten, then there is a month or so until the final deadline, and before the final deadline you have to have drawn all ten themes and two of your own :) Twelve images in all, that is. And you can draw all of them the day before the deadline if that suits you the best, although I recomment doing the themes when they come, otherwise you'll be in for quite the night before the deadline :P

2008-09-04 [Linderel]: Wow, you just signed up for a lot of work, [Kuruni] :D
You'll be doing those ten+two themes for both categories, unless you want to retreat from one or the other :P

Anyhow... YAY!

The sign-up for art is pathetically slow, though... Ah well.

2008-09-04 [Jitter]: Yay [Kuruni] :D *cheers*

2008-09-04 [*micky*]: Wish I could draw good enough to enter [Linderel] xD But I'll try the Photo part^^

2008-09-04 [Chrysilla]: Please welcome [Weet-weet], my bestest friend, great photographer and new to Elftown! Dragged down here by me, of course :D

2008-09-04 [Linderel]: *already stalking*

2008-09-04 [Chrysilla]: Hey, wait a bit, she's just moving in her ET house, let her put some furniture at least XD

2008-09-04 [Linderel]: Aww, but I'll just sit silently in the corner, she won't even notice me there!

2008-09-05 [Iuna]: wow, the photo contest is full already! that's fast :O

2008-09-05 [Synsae]: yeah, I am glad I got my spot when I did...

2008-09-06 [Kuruni]: Well yes it´s a lot of work, i hope i can make it, because i still have work to do, i hope you guys understand if i cannot finish everything in time, but i will make a great effort. The photography part is quite easy for me, compared to the art part but i will take it like a Viking GRRRR!!! i can make it YEAH!

2008-09-06 [Jitter]: We get about a month after the deadline to wrap up :D

2008-09-06 [Linderel]: No, there's only one deadline :P Which will be set about a month after the last theme, but still.

2008-09-06 [Jitter]: Bad wording on my behalf :P

2008-09-06 [Linderel]: Yesh it was :P *spanks*

2008-09-06 [Jitter]: You try think properly in the morning with a baby that gets your attention by pulling your hair? :P xD

2008-09-06 [Linderel]: That's sort of adorable xD
Nah, I don't even need a baby to pull my hair to be unable to think properly in the morning :P

2008-09-06 [Jitter]: And I seem to never remember to make coffee anymore. Sacrilege >.<

2008-09-09 [vegetoot]: Photopart is full -_-. *blegh 'n vomit 'n stuff*

2008-09-09 [Iuna]: vegetoot, do you want to participate instead of me? I'll just participate on the sideline then ;)

2008-09-09 [Linderel]: Yay! We has got [deeterhi]! :D

2008-09-09 [Triola]: *does the [deeterhi] dance* :P

2008-09-09 [deeterhi]: oh gosh o.O
I can only imagine what that dance looks like. (probably something very embarrassing ;) you cheeky little monkeys)

2008-09-09 [Triola]: Oh, you love it, don't try to convince us otherwise! :P

2008-09-09 [Chimes]: Damn! I shall have to wait until the next round, if there is one. I have no scanner so can't do the art one so I shall have to wait until the next round so I can do the Photography one. :D I shall be watching this contest closely...

Have you ever thought of adding a written one? :] I reckon people would go for it - I know I would. Just a suggestion.

2008-09-09 [Linderel]: Writing contests on Elftown never fare very well unless they're official. Believe me, I've tried, and I manage the Writing Contests list on top of that...
But perhaps I can give it a test run during a later round. :)

2008-09-09 [Triola]: It's sad, but true :(

2008-09-09 [Chimes]: Ah, well... it was worth asking, I suppose. If you do give it a test run I will participate... so you know you have one person :D

*is browsing the Writing Contests*

2008-09-09 [Triola]: I'd probably join too, as a show of loyalty and to kick my writing into action :P

2008-09-09 [Jitter]: I need the practice too but sometimes I have small near to no inspiration

2008-09-09 [Chimes]: I seem to always have inspiration... :]

2008-09-09 [Iuna]: If someone wants to join the photography contest, I can give up my place, so somebody else can take it. I already participated twice, so it's fine by me not to participate now.

2008-09-09 [Chrysilla]: I'd join a writing contest too ^^

2008-09-09 [Zacky Stardust]: I decided that even though I'm busy, I'm going to give it another try, and this time, I plan to do much better. ^_^

2008-09-10 [Annie T.]: I'd join a writing contest. ;) What does that make? 4?

By the way, if anyone wants to joine the photography contest, I too will give up my spot. I just participated last time so I don't mind.

2008-09-10 [Mikie9191]: sorry if this has already been asked: does each week hold it's own deadline? or is there one deadline at the end of the 10th week?

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: The deadline is about a month after the 10th week. You may finish your pieces at your own pace; the themes are given weekly just to give it a bit of a frame.

2008-09-10 [Jitter]: I'd suggest you tossed a wreiting round too Lin :3

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: Urrr I dunno.
Let me consider that first xD
Because... you know I'll be terribly disappointed if I put the category up and then it fails, right? :/

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: ...eh.
What the heck. I'll set it up. We'll start small, though, with five entrants as minimum instead of ten. You better make good on your words! xD

2008-09-10 [Mikie9191]: Thanks for clearing that up :)
.x.

2008-09-10 [Chimes]: HOORAY! *huggles and squeezes Linderel* You just made me a very happy little beaver. *signs up*

*is advertising this wiki in her mood :])

2008-09-10 [Trennas]: hmmm i feel drawn to the writing portfolio thing, but i dont know if i am going to be able to participate in it as much as i would like due to school restrictions.. but i would like to give it a shot nonetheless..

2008-09-10 [Chimes]: Score one for the 'Chimes Recruitment Services'. :P

2008-09-10 [Trennas]: lol great job kid:p

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: No huggling and/or squeezing please <_<
Oooh, keep advertising! And yay a [Trennas]!

2008-09-10 [Chimes]: Alright. I shall dance instead. *dances*
I shall. :D

2008-09-10 [Trennas]: *pokes:p*

i figured what the heck.. if i actually get some stuff done its nice for my short story collection.. and if i dont, well at least im bound to get new ideas XD

2008-09-10 [Triola]: No... huggling? o.o

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: Trin: Aside from the obvious people of course. :P *slobber*

2008-09-10 [Triola]: *nuzzles* :D

2008-09-10 [Jitter]: *huggle*

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: Halloooo again Jitter dear xD *lick*

2008-09-10 [Trennas]: *gets popcorn*

2008-09-10 [Chimes]: *hands Trennas a toaster*

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: o__O

2008-09-10 [Chimes]: *very, very slow occurring grin*

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: That's... creepy :P

2008-09-10 [Chimes]: Then it served its purpose! :D HURRAH!

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: *giggle*

2008-09-10 [Jitter]: *pulls curtain and licks Lami back in secret* :P

2008-09-10 [Linderel]: <3

2008-09-10 [Trennas]: *holds toaster upside down*

2008-09-10 [Chimes]: I warned you! THEY WILL EAT YOUR SOUL! You are disturbing the peace of their bottom-of-toaster darkness.

2008-09-10 [Chimes]: Silence ensues.
