Welcome! Are you a someone who likes the idea of things that remain yet change, having something solid and set that moves on constantly? Do you like the passing of time? Do you like to pass your time with art?

Well, you'd better, since you're here.

<img:stuff/tmmcjandivider.jpg>


This is a monthly contest about the months.
I want your artistic interpretation about the current month

January

be it writing (on their separate wikis please), visual art, music or anything you can imagine. Be creative, and remember, most of the stuff you do on Elftown is actually art. For example, role-playing is a form of art.

Deadline is always the end of the month in question.

Rules, we gotsa have rules!
1. I am the over-lord of this particular wiki here. So what I say, goes. On the positive side, I'm Finnish, so I don't talk much! :P
2. Remember the uploading art rules. And just be nice in general. Unless rudeness is what you are after in your work... O_o
3. I'm not fust about nudity or gory stuff or anything, so run rampant.

Thumbnails
~Visual Artists:
I want a small max 150 x 150 pixel sized thumbnail that is a piece of the artwork. Not a clickable ET-thumbnail but the sort you see in professional art-pages. Under it I want the link to your artwork (uploaded to ET or anywhere - as long as it works - I hate broken links!) that is to be clicked in order to view the full thing.

~Literary Artists:
I want a link to your writing (a wiki-link or any other where it is and where it will stay - I hate broken links!) and hopefully an except from the story/poem/script/whatever it is, max 2 lines in the page (about 4-5 lines in the edit-form). I'll let you do the choosing, so I won't enforce it.

~Something else Artists:
A link to your work and a description of what it is if you wish. If it is a Flash-thing, a thumbnail of a screenshot will be welcome.

Now the reason for thumbnailing like this is a silly one: it's more exciting this way! Sides, we avoid the annoying long load of this page and it's fairer for those entries that can't be entered into Elftown and need to be link-clicked anyway. So everybody gets a tiny spotlight for their entry in here - even the writings do (I want samples, short passages) - and then visitors can just click the links to the ones they find interesting, or click all of them and see their computer die with shame. So the thumbnail will be your advertisement for your entry.

Unclear? Good. Ask me questions, and I shall tell you no lies!

Suggestion of the moment:
If you find one month too short a time for your exceptionally excellent piece, then think ahead. Start your submission ahead of time and submit it by the appropriate month. Or if you miss the deadline, then keep working over the year and submit it the next time around we get to that month.

Thus endeth this long ramble by your local [iippo].

2005-10-26 [RoyDante]: lol.. go go :)

2005-10-26 [Aradon Templar]: Your rambles tend to be unpredictable, iippo. It's most definately a good thing, and makes long narratives interesting. Oh, and I may be participating, if Terragen 2 comes in. But not for November, I don't think. Maybe January.

2005-10-27 [iippo]: Goodness. And suggestions are mostly welcome.

2005-10-27 [Aradon Templar]: Remove the under construction bracket up at the top? People might not try to enter, yet.

2005-10-27 [iippo]: xD fair enough.

2005-10-27 [Aradon Templar]: *lubs pages made by teh iippo* They get the point across in a slightly round-about ish manner, but short and humorous. With unexpected phrasings, such as "Unclear? Good" :D

2005-10-28 [Mom]: Hmmm...Looks most interesting.*Rubs chin*

2005-11-03 [iippo]: Bwee, so many entries. So now's the time to become a thumbnail-bastard... I want those partial thumbnails that you see in professional art pages. If anyone has objection on me thumbnailing their piece, then feel free to do that yourself, but I'm going to use the three first entries as examplary ones for now. And make it clearer on the actual page itself.

2005-11-03 [Lerune]: I think the thumbnails help to make the page look neater, it cuts down on loading time, and people can always click on the image to see it in more detail, so don't fret. I can't see why anyone would object to thumbnails. *wishes large contests would always do thumbnails*

2005-11-03 [Skydancer]: I absolutely agree, it makes for a much neater and more pleasing presentation.

2005-11-11 [Stephen]: I third that. It helps to reduce loading time, and gives the contest a more perfessional feel.

2005-11-25 [Skydancer]: {Is waiting on December to get here.. :) }

2005-11-25 [iippo]: Hehehe. I'm dreading the end of November: means I need to get judging. >.O

2005-11-30 [O'saku]: Where do you enter written stories?

2005-11-30 [Aradon Templar]: Put them on a separate wiki, then place a link to them here, with a two-line sample. Kind of like how Entry 9 was done.

2005-12-01 [duckofdoom]: I must say entry 9 rocks. lol. : )

2005-12-01 [iippo]: DECEMBER NOW!
