OMG! Awesome! I really hope you get more participants this way, cause the prizes look very exciting! (Well, for me anyways XD)

Just curious, how do you know which art/fic would be first place? Will you be the one judging, or there are other judges, or will there be a vote?

[honey_bee89]

Hehe. Thanks. I hope so, too.

Well, it wouldn't be fair for only myself to decide these things, so I plan to have the members/watchers of the group vote for whatever they like best. The three entries (of each category) with the most votes will get the prizes. ^_^

I'm also going to try and make HirumaxMamori into a Super Group, so I've opened a donation poll and taking point commissions as well. I'll have to raise 45-50 dollars. XD So I'm going to have to advertise it somehow, but I'll wait until I'm finished with your drawing first. =)

Cool! So this is still until the end of this month right? I really hope we get lots of entries! I'd love to see what the others might come up with. I'm already thinking about possible storylines to work with. XD (I'm way too excited, I should really work on my current fics!)

A Super Group? Could you please explain what that is? (Seeing as I rarely use or go to DA)

Also... eek! I really hope my suggestions to you are all right and not too hard! You can definitely take your time with it, I really don't mind!

[honey_bee89]

Oops! I forgot to add the deadline here. XD I'll do that in a sec. Anyway, the deadline is on January 31st. =)

Well, a super group is like a premium membership; you can get way more stuff with it. You can make polls, have more custom widgets, use CSS coding on journals and - even more fun - you can post images (or thumbs of images) on journals and many other places in the group. This would be very handy for contests, for example, since people could simply look at the images instead of having to click on text links to see them. (I've found that while people don't mind clicking on links to look at fanfics, they really don't like clicking to see images. I don't know why. XD)

Also, you can make folders in folders, so instead of having 10 contest folders cluttering up the group's gallery, I could have them all contained in one neat little contest folder. =)

Well, here's an example of the things people have done with their super groups:

digital-artists
Ocart
PremiumMembers
SessKagSo, yeah. I think it might benefit the group to go super

Finally, I've managed to finish this and participate. To tell you the truth, I have no idea whether it belongs to Sport prompt but this was the first thing that came to my mind!
My beta's been neglecting me me, but I'll post proper (mistake-free) version on DA once she's done. She told me she won't make on in time so, sorry 'bout that "sighs" Here's the link http://reirarhapsody.livejournal.com/2922.html

I've decided to add the LJ link to the journals for now, but I'll change it to the DA link once you've uploaded it there. =)

Thanks for taking part in the contest! =D

[tashlliya]

Yes, I'm sorry about the inconvenience. I should save us all the trouble and move to San Francisco or Edinburgh (God, I would love that) and pester my relatives there to get my tenses (among other grammar things)to function properly XD

Anytime, this prompt got me out of writer's block I was having, so thank you very much!

[cherry_tiger]

Aaaand mine is up over here! I'm actually so glad to see a lot of people participating for this! Especially the fanarts!!! Awesome! ^^

[honey_bee89]

I know! It's great, isn't it? I hope to see even more submissions for February. <3

[cherry_tiger]

Seeing what usually comes in February, I definitely can't wait to see what's the prompt for next month!! ^^
