Aww, but hey! Your avi is too amazing to ignore. I mean ... LOOK AT HER. Princess Zelda herself! The layering. The colors. It's all so perfect.

Maybe next time you'll get to play, yes? Your avi's are always so wonderful.

And that's what I thought about the next island swap. I'll have to get ready for that one when it comes! So excited already.

Thank you very much. xD One day, she will have a perfect tabard for the front of her dress... but until then, I'm pretty happy with the cosplay. xD Need to change into something more generally Winter-Nights-y in a bit, though. xD Or maybe a holiday-ish cosplay, anyway. >_> HMM.

I'm excited about the island swap too. x3 It's really fun seeing what people are doing. :3

You could always throw in a santa hat, or some presents in the background. Or make it snow in the background/outside. >__>

Agreed. So much creativity. :D :D

Looks like star mixed Zajac and Cacao together. XD

XD There were a couple I looked at twice to make sure I was putting the entry in the right place. They're neighbor islands, so it's to be expected there'd be a bit of cross-over. xD

yeah. xD ooo CK you look super cute!!!

Thank you! :3 Don't you love starting out at point A and ending up at point Z? xD

Forewarning everyone - I just realized it's time for the second island challenge! ...and I hadn't thought of it at all! D: So if you have an in-progress avatar for Zajac or the Isle, hurry and get it in so you can get 3 points instead of just 1!

New challenge soon!

Ooo! Time for some sleep for me first. :D

Yes - get some sleep. xD

The contest descriptions for Gwydion and the Dainae Empire are up now! You have all of December 24th and 25th to earn 3 points for submitting!

Any entry for Zajac or the Isle of Cacao are now only worth 1 point. (But remember, it's still worth submitting just to get more points!)

If you have any questions, don't hesitate!

It's official, Gwydion is my favorite.

::laughs:: Yay! I've never had someone live-blog their reaction to something like that. I'm stoked. xD

I agree, though. Of the islands, I'd probably want to move to Gwydion, even if Menewsha were probably ultimately more friendly. xD

Hazzah! Can't wait to try these categories out

Yay! xD I can't wait to see what people do with them!~

CK, I'm in a live-blogging mood right now. I did a little daily blog thing for the Halloween event which I'm doing again for this event. Also, all the live-blogging and Let's Play stuff in the NV/otome thread inspired me. :3

Live blogging is a lot of fun. xD I don't do it near enough. So far, I've only done it for Holiday Star and a live-action drama I watched a few months back. xD

Also, this:

LOL. I completely forgot that was there... What great timing for that.

Haha, yeah. I found it a few weeks ago and liked it, but now it's true!
There is also one about getting fresh stock from Dainae.

★Island Contest Two Entry ★
Username: SuperZombiePotatoe
Island Represented: Gwydion
Commentary: I've always had trouble with doing magic. It comes so naturally to other elves. What am I doing wrong? I moved out into the woods to isolate myself entirely, so that I could concentrate on nothing else but my practicing. I bought a book on magic and I put it under my pillow so that my brain will absorb the information while I sleep (a friend told me about that!). I bought a hat, a wand and a pack of cards (start small, I always say). I also practice outside, because, you know, absorb good vibes from the trees and all that. And there, I think, lies my problem. Gwydion is not an ideal place for card tricks. The damn winds keep sneaking up on me and blowing my cards all around! Or maybe it's me. I've never had a strong grip either.

Aww, poor elfy! xD

Yay for the first entry into contest two! x3 I'll go add it to the front page!

Disappearing soonish to go soak in the tub, but I need to do my stretches and sit-ups first, so I'll check again after I get those done.

the DAC isnt allowed? well i better make my avatar quick then!

Not this time around! I'm not really fond of the bar on the DAC. Whenever someone makes a DAC avatar, I keep getting distracted from the avatar by the bar and I would feel bad if I unconsciously favored those who made regular avatars. So it was just a better idea to make sure it was fair for everyone participating. ><;

bloodstainedwings: btw - I want to mention that you can resubmit for Island Contest One and get full points since you made an avatar in time the first time around. :)

thank you so much. im working on it now as you can probably see.

edit:
its slightly different as i had to make due with what i have available. but i like it more now.

Wah, I'm a silly who didn't read the thread soon enough. I'll try to submit late if I get any laptop time.
