hi! i just joined the community but i haven't decided if i want to write a fic just yet. in any case, i was wondering, who was the first one to come up with 30 kisses anyway? i'm not talking about the comm (is this the first ever comm of 30 kisses btw?). i mean, i think 30 kisses is a cool idea! whoever came up with it is really good! i'm just curious to who thought it up. :D

The original creator came from Japan and the website is here :http://biwakko.sub.jp/.

It was first adopted and translated by emilychan" and has since been kept going by a dedicate group of mods and an ever growing population of fan fic writers.

wow. thanks! i'll try and see if i can write a fic soon. btw, would it be in any way an offense to you and the comm if i join both this comm and the 30kisses comm and say, submit a piece of work to both comms? i mean, i know they have their differences but still, would it be all right with you?

So long as you follow the rules we have when posting here, it makes no difference to us.

hi! sorry for the constant questions. anyway, i was just wondering, when you write the fic, do you have to include the theme in the story?

uh... i don't think it's too clear. i'll try and give an example:

say the theme is #1 look over here, so when you write the story, does there have to be a part in it that says:

"this guy calls out to her 'look over here!' and she turns around..."

or another example would be:

"and he looks over here while he thinks i'm not looking..."

basically, my point is, do the exact words have to come out in the story itself?

p.s. i hope you understood what i was trying to point out.

[kissesmods]

I think I understand.

You don't have the use the exact phrase, but you have to use the idea present by it.

So in your example, "look over there", you could say:

"this guy calls out to her 'look over here!' and she turns around..."

Or you could have the idea of the phrase

"The guy sits on his chair and sees the sun setting behind her. He smiles and point, directing her head to turn to look at the horizon."

So the ideas is there, even if the phrase is not. Some people make this the center of their entry. Others kind of mention it in passing. If you want a better idea, you can look at the archives for that theme to see how other people have used it.

Hall of Fame Page

Okay, this is going to sound totally random and stupid, and I just know I'm going to bop myself on the head for this, but does the Hall of Fame page look odd to anyone except me? When I clicked it, I saw this:

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.] And then the raw html.

Now, I got worried, because that's MY pairing. O_o I was like: "Uh oh...I screwed up the Hall of Fame with my stupidity!!!!"

Now, no one's brought it up, so maybe it's just me... O.o I just want to make sure.

^^ Sorry!

EUREKA!

Turns out it wasn't your pairing at all but the one just above it and another one that I had just added (took a while to figure that out). Thank you so much for pointing it out! IT should look perfect now, with your pairing included.

Is it possible for me to use an iPod in place of theme 14 (radio casette player)?

[sephiraprincess]

Okay, I think i am in th right spot here...I was hoping not to post here for I was hoping to fix the problem, but this week has been totally bad for me...Our computer decided to hate me this week, so, I am uncertain how, but my pairings I have Malik IshtarxYami of Yu-Gi-Oh and Riza HawkeyexWinry Rockbell of Fullmetal Alchemist pairings all the fics got deleted and I couldn't remember where I left off, so, I was hoping to fix those problems before June, but I've also been busy helpin' my mom (she's having dental surgery this Saturday) and lookin'for a new job...And I just feel like crawling in a hole and just crying

[kissesmods]

Okay you're all set and in the clear until August.

I like to think bad weeks happen so that when the good weeks happen, you enjoy them more. But in any case, good luck with every, hope your mom feels better and good luck job hunting. Remember that everything you've posted has been archived here so at least you can get a copy of that.

After tomorrow my mom will feel all better....Thanks again...
