Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

In the meantime, here's a chance to win a few points!

All you need to do is this:
Browse deviantART and find a piece of art (or more than one) you REALLY like. Something that means something to you!
Then simply make a journal featuring that piece (or pieces) of art. You could even say a few words about that piece and the artist?
Remember to comment below with a link to your journal!

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

SCIENCE FICTION WRITING CONTEST - 440

total for prizes!

Pick up your pen, pencils, markers, quills, and/or keyboards ladies and gentlemen, it's contest time. I hope. I mean, really, it'll be loads of fun guys. Unlike the screaming that is emitting from the show my family is watching right now. That's not fun.

So, here's how this contest is going to work out. I'm going to pick from a hat one of our folders, and, that'll happen as soon as I find paper that doesn't have a part of my book on it... *wanders off for a while* FOUND ONE!! *pops out of stack of papers*

So, just as a refresher, our folders are as follows:

Science Fiction
Historical Fiction
Fantasy
General/Everyday
Futuristic
Spiritual/Demonic
Superpowers
Romance
Fan Fiction
Mixed
Horror
Short Stories
Mixed
Poetry

The category Short Stories will be used as the basis. Every entry will be a short story.

Main category is: Science Fiction

Rules:

Everything goes!!! I don't care if it's got mature on mature on mature. If you want to write that, go right ahead! But if someone is insulted, I'm not getting you out of that. I will not be that kind admin. And yes, you may submit old works!

Try to keep it a good length. Not too short, but please don't write a twelve page essay. I'd die if I had to read that. There's no word limit.

HAVE FUN. I think this is the most important rule. If you're not going to have fun, then don't do it. I can always find some other use for you.

You have to be a member (or a member of an affiliate) to join this contest, so please join us, writers!

Please submit entries to the SCIFI CONTEST folder, NOT THE SCIENCE FICTION OR ANY OTHER FOLDER! If it is not in the specified folder, your entry will not count!

Deadline is 11:59pm EST, November 16th.
Other notes:
I need judges. So if you don't want to write, but you'd love to critique, come join the judging club. Just send me a note or comment here. I'll only take four other judges. Judge places given on first come first served basis. Judges, I'll be making a chat room for us to use to discuss entries as the deadline gets closer.
Judge 1: ~Fackio-Zally
Judge 2: this lovely person ~1negative1
Judge 3: ~Nyatto, you're awesome!
Judge 4: ~strawburdeath, thank you soo much.

Judge 5: *TheDorsai. You saved me.

I'll be sending you all a note closer to the deadline so we can all get together and start doing things.
