Slayers 15 themes Rounds

9:01AM - Community Adoption

Due to some circumstances in real life I'm putting up some of my communities for adoption. This is one of them. If you would like to adopt this community and become the new moderator and maintainer, then first one can have it, and I'll list you as moderator right away. You can take away my maintainer status too and change it to whatever you want. Otherwise the journal just might get deleted.

So who wants it?

It's been lovely all, but gah! so busy and then there's that loss of interest thing...
:-(

*hugs*

1:40PM - Slayers Novels Campaign - SAVE THEM

Many of you already know about this, but some of you don't.

Tokyopop has releaced a statement that they are not going to continue translating the Slayers novels after vol. 6. Please sign a petition, write a letter, and speak your defense to keep them from abandoning Slayers.

~ Sign the Petition

~ Letter Writing Campaign

~ Original Thread on theslayers group on LJ

Hopefully, if we get enough people who care about Slayers, this will just be a threat and not a reality. It would be a shame if they did this. Many of us were just getting into the novels too, learning more from them, and getting a new dose of Slayers after the anime came out so long ago.

Let's save Slayers! XD

8:19PM - Another post!

I'm usually not this prolific, but in creative writting class, it's hard not to write a snippet while the teacher is yapping XD

So here's my next entry!

10:38AM - LAST VOTING TIME - Extension

Well, I've gotten some votes, but not many. I'd like to see some more. C'mon people, this is the VERY LAST voting you'll have to do at this club for this year. And then the next time will be at the end of next. So, yeah, after this one, you'll get a major vacation from voting. I swear on Rezo's grave!

So go vote if you haven't yet at the posts for Toys, HERE and Romance, HERE.

I'm leaving the voting open all weekend until 6 pm Monday night. PLEASE PLEASE VOTE! Especially if you've entered. That would be very helpful. Right now I have a bunch of ties, so a few more people voting will really help alot.

THANKS!

10:39AM - Change in Community: 15 themes Round 1

Okay!
This is the official transformation post! The community is changing, as we expected. We're holding our very last drabble and oneshot voting posts for Toys, HERE and Romance, HERE. So go vote if you haven't yet.

So here's the new 411 on the club. The user info page has been changed too.

RULES:

From now on, we will be doing very laid-back rounds of submitting fiction with 15 themes of fanfiction each round. THERE ARE NO DEADLINES -- POST WHEN YOU HAVE TIME. When you have finished all 15 themes, you will receive a banner for your hard work, and then the first person to complete the first round will be able to pick the next 15 themes for Round 2.

After the first year, I will be checking to see all who’s finished the first round, and out of all those entries, we will decide best overall, and the winner of that will receive a gift certificate to their favorite store (hopefully a store I can find around Chicago to get it), courtesy of your mod. XD (I'm hoping this will at least motivate some people to get done in a year.)

So wait for November 7, 2006. That's when we'll do our best overall contest.

~*~

Anyway, without further adieu, here are the 15 themes for Round One:

3:00PM - MOD post

Okay so we have enough entries for a voting post for both themes, but I heard from a couple of people that they still plan on entering. I'll definitely leave it open if more people for sure are going to enter. How does Saturday (midnight central time) sound to those of you that may still have some stuff?

Then we can get along with the new ideas for the community.

Thank you for everyone that has entered so far, and please be sure to look at everyone's hard work and give feedback if possible!
