Win a Premium Membership! [Raffle]Ohaii everyone! Chieri here. >u< Still not dead yet. Still just smelling like it.
I know I have been quite inactive the past month, alot of private stuff going on and upcoming exams, but I will try to be more active again from now on. I miss being here with you guys and drawing so much. I will try my best to at least submit something regulary and reply to all notes & comments sooner as I did lately. (I really apologize for the wait.) I promise. You may slap me really hard if I neclect it again.
As a little consolation / thank you / because I want to, I decided to raffle away 
3 x a 1 Month Premium-Membership
^_^ Because I have some leftover points on my hand and I love hosting little events and raffles.
I hope everyone will enjoy participating. It's easy!
As usual I will use random.org to choose the 3 lucky winners, providing screens that everything will be 100% fair. 
Microsoft Employees Disrupt Wii U Best Buy EventsRemember how Nintendo was showcasing some of their E3 games at participating Best Buy stores around the country? Well, apparently Microsoft employees have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"
However, the employees aren't getting what they hoped for. Most customers just start bashing the Xbox One in response. Seriously, Microsoft, the people attending these Best Buy Wii U events are people who are intimately familiar with the crap you pulled at E3. They ain't takin' your shit.
At first I thought this might just be a case of one really loyal Microsoft employee taking matters into his own hands (especially since the original source was /v/), but reports have come in from numerous Best Buy's around the country that indicate many Microsoft employees have ambushed the demo lines trying to persuade people to switch to the Xbox One.
Since so many reports have com

Please Pants Responsibly (Paper Notebooks FTW)

There are two ways to write a novel.  Plotting (you make an outline, a plan, a roadmap if you will, and then you sit down and write it) and pantsing (you write "by the seat of your pants, throwing caution to the wind).  So when I get asked if I'm a plotter or a pantser, I'm all like er, uh, hold on, let me?  Pantser?  I think?  But I kind of, um, do planny things?
And it gets kind of awkward because in these inarticulate moments I have managed to confuse everyone including myself. And probably spilled a drink.
In recent discussions, however, I've had a bit of a revelation, silly as it is. I've realized that I -- like many writers -- am a plotter/pantser hybrid.  And perhaps what I'm doing is something we could call Pantsing Responsibly.  And, maybe, just maybe, I could share some of my responsible pantsing tips with other writers. Starting with paper notebooks.
Anyone can find a notebook.  If there isn't alread
The Used Game ParadigmOver the course of this past generation I've been watching the video game market react to the way it's been forced to deal with increasing changes. I've come out against used game sales and even written a journal about boycotting GameStop because (like most people at the time) I believed they were the root cause of all the problems the video game industry has. But that's something I don't believe now as intently as i did then. From where I sit, piracy and used games sales are a problem, but not in the way game companies want us to believe that they are.
Used games are a good thing for consumers. We get to try games out, and if we don't like what we see or finish it early, we trade it in and try another title instead. It's a very good system for us since video game rentals are much harder to come by. Most video rental stores in America have gone extinct and outside specific Red Box Kiosks there aren't a lot of places for consumers to rent video games. The exception, of course, being thr

SPIKE updatesJust thought I'd share with you guys some updates on the progress of finishing my "SPIKE" novel.
A lot of people have asked me how it's going, when it will be published and stuff. I really appreciate getting asked these things because it shows that people are actually interested in my writings, and that it just such a great feeling :aww:
I've got two news for you guys today though: one bad news and one good news. Let's start with the bad news.
I haven't finished writing SPIKE yet.
And I honestly don't know when it will be finished - which oddly enough brings us to the good news:
I've made a new, major decision in the SPIKE story that I think a lot of you will be happy to hear. As usual I don't want to spoil too much, but there is a part in the story where Spike and Sam are separated from each other for quite a long while. At first I was planning on only writing from Spike's point of view, like, what he's experiencing during this separation period. I figured that since he's the main cha

Artist of the Week



My artist of the week is ~chrisbin who is indeed my awesomeamazingwonderfulsexybrillfab boyfriend! :'D
So Chris doesn't like to take pictures of flowers and puppies and sparkly things that make you go awww. No. Chris likes experimental photography. He does not have a digital camera but chooses to instead use film cameras such as his Diana F+, his lomo fisheye 2 and a range of other older film cameras he has collected over the past few months. ~chrisbin has inspired me greatly and I think hes super. :') All my pictures are here because of him.
I love youuuuu! :heart:
Rambles


BBQs! :heart: Me and ~chrisbin have had a few on our own and with his parents. OMG YUM! I had a piece of steak that must have been bigger than my whole head! It was delish!
Me and ~chrisbin have had some time off and its been just what I have needed and I think he did too.
We made the sexiest cakes ever. Brownie cakes with our own little touches.
YUMMY! I want some now.
Oh! I have been watching what I eat for the past few weeks too.. (..but I had some cake..) and it has made such a difference. Not only is my stomach a lot more flatter now but I actually feel so much more healthy and energetic. I feel really good and happy. Very happy indeed.
I've been able to spend time with my mum and my nana. I will see them again tomorrow after work. Ahhh. Mel is Happy facing right now.
My step dad gave me 400 points towards a dA t-shirt! Yay!
Ugh.. that reminds me.. my membership is soon to run out. D: Oh wells.
I am happyyyyy! Bath times with Chris. Hehehehehe. :$
England were knocked out on sunday.. what an awful performance. Embarressing to say the least but oh well! I am still happy. Me and ~chrisbin had an epic BBQ afterwards anyway!
I'm off to play some xbox. Friday night is TF2 night! <3
Hope you like the features and AOTW!
And I hope you are HAPPY!
Hugs and stuff. x
