Welcome to Gaia! ::

That was completely and totally unintentional, though hilarious. 3nodding

So I'll make the contest thread on the 8th. Okay. ^^ I can handle that.

Upon second thought, I have questions.

1- This thread will be at the guild, right?
2- Do we have Judges?
3- Second round anyone can submit, yes? So what makes the last round winners special?
4- Second round and only 100g?
5- gonk When will you be back again?

We did have a contest. Now we're going to round two. The old thread's probably sunk down in the mid-depths of the contest forum. 3nodding

EDIT: And today I learned another interesting yet morbid fact in you-know-which class. I didn't know that, when left with their original body fluids and all, dead bodies will move around, moan, sit up, and all that kind of stuff. My teacher says it's a natural part of death. It also gave people good reason to believe in vampires back in the old days.

I mean, imagine it. Somebody disapears. Then the townspeople ask "Who's died recently?" They go dig up the grave and sure enough, the person has moved or is sitting up with blood running down the side of their mouth, and their teeth look pointy because of the receding gums. *Gasp*

Of course the only logical solution is they're the walking dead. Let's put a stake through them and the coffin into the ground so that they don't get up again. Works like a charm. xd

*spaz*

4 months. Count them. May, June, July, August. 4. That's three more than I'd originally thought. gonk

*deep breaths* It's a shock. Cold water in my face. That's okay. That is okay. I'll get used to it. I will. Humans are adjustable that way. Otherwise, we'd never survive.

sad Don't forget us.

I know! I'm so sorry for leaving you guys like this. I feel really bad about it since I've always been so gung-ho about the 'zine. However, my parents want us to go back this summer to visit my grandmother. She's pretty sick right now so we want to spend more time together before, well...you know. Just in case she won't be around that much longer. sad

Don't freak out! You guys have seen how I run the 'zine, so you know how to do it. Besides, just hire more staffies if the work gets to be too much! I'll sit back and supervise during this issue, so everyone can practice steering our little ship into the horizon. wink So ask all your questions now, or forever hold your silence...or something like that, lol.

Okay, let me try and get this contest straight. We gather in finalists from each round. Last time it was 8. This time it will be [insert answer here]. Then in the finals we get [insert number] more finalists and gather all of them up. Then we let the readers vote from all the finalists from rounds 1, 2, and 3. This determines who gets the 5000g award.

Please tell me that's it.

Those are really the only questions I can think to ask. Others will come, I'm sure. We'll just have to use a little more brain power than usual. That's all.

Don't feel bad about leaving us. Most of my spazzes are jokes, though they may come from genuine shock. In the end I know I can handle it. My confidence is just funny like that. I freak out to expel my negativity and then I move on. ^^ My, wasn't that all zen-like.

Hopefully we'll be able to hold up. Almost a half year though. But then again, I fail to notice that years shorten as I grow older. It'll wiz by me in a blur and the next thing I know you'll be wanting all that jucy power back from us.

Have fun in Taiwan. Hope your grandmother's going to be okay. When you get back you'll propably have a few (and hopefully nice) surprises. ^^

My heart to you.

*cough* Uh, too much of a 'good-bye' atmosphere. Let us hope I didn't jump the gun. It sounded like you were leaving tomorrow. gonk Anyway, good night. ^^ Off to bed for me. Soon. If I don't randomly decide to procrastinate.

Absolutely, alicemae. I am in a volunteering spirit... but I don't know what I'm copy/pasting.

I posted it in my journal, so everything should be all set.

I'll continue contemplating other possible ideas...
