First off, a reminder that THIS application could use a vote or two.

Also, we have a tiebreaker for first betwwen lafemmedarla and viciousmiss. The first one to answer this trivia question correctly wins first place, the other wins second by default. If no one has answered correctly within 24 hours a winner will be chosen randomly.

( TRIVIA QUESTION FOR VICIOUSMISS AND LAFEMMEDARLA )

Also November is a REOPENING OF ALL THEMES and there will also be an OPTIONAL GENDER STAMPING AVAILABLE.

The rules for this month will be a bit different.

1. Making up of theme- If you were unable to apply for a theme before you can do so now, simply put the name of the theme you are applying for as the subject, to make it easier for voters.

2. Theme Restamping- If you were previously stamped for a theme, but would like a different stamp, simply reapply and put the name of the theme you are reapplying for in the subject line. It would also help if you mention that it's a restamp.

3. Gender Stamping- This option is a bit different from restamping, and is available for those who were previously stamped. Instead of getting a new stamp, you are getting an additional stamp. For these applications please include the name of the theme you are reapplying for, as well as the gender stamp you want in the subject line. For example, if you were previously stamped as Julia for the mirror theme, but now want to see what male you look like, your subject title would be : MIRROR THEME//MALE.

4. Please wait about 3 days after you've submitted one application to submit another, this is just to make sure everyone has a chance to be stamped, and so one person won't apply for all applications in the same day.

( VOTING OPTIONS )

If you need any clarification about the voting options, let me know and I'll edit some examples int this post.

Uh, so I realized today that it is October 2nd .... meaning that I should have already posted a poll, doled out prizes, and started the new theme. I don't know where the time has flown or where my head has been this month.

I apologize for my forgetfulness and inattention as of late, and I'll try to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

HERE IS THE TIEBREAKER FOR purerandomosity, viciousmiss, and lafemmedarla who are all tied with five points. As soon as I have sorted out who is what place via the tie-breaker I will send you all your prizes right away.

( TIE-BREAKER QUESTION HERE )

HERE IS THE POLL FOR THIS MONTH'S THEME

Once again, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi everyone!

My theme applications could use a couple more votes HERE, so please vote when you get the chance.

I know that the school year has started so there has been a recent decrease in activity around here, which is completely understandable. That being said, if anyone has any suggestions on how to liven this community up a bit I'm more than willing to listen :)

Thanks!
-Melissa

Hi everyone,
purerandomosity, viciousmiss, and lafememdarla could use some more votes on their theme applications HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Please vote when you get the chance, thanks!
