[Art Exchange] shit. lets be cupid :: 2011 Pail Day : LAST DAY OF SIGNING UP 20th!

[DJ-P0N3]

I'LL TAKE YOU ROUND THE UNIVERSE...

and all the other places too...

I'm pretty sure the universe pretty much covers everything.

[catharticCarnifex]

Shut up woman/man/mayor get on my HORSE!

Seriously though, don't worry. I'll help you fight AH. I won't let it ruin this beautiful thing we've got going (for the last five minutes)

[DJ-P0N3]

As much as I appreciate the offer, matesprit-of-past-few-minutes, I can handle AH myself.
After all, I have an ace i the hole to be released soon enough.

Mwahahahahahahaha

[gingerale]

I just realized, both Almost Human and Andrew Hussie are referred as AH. Coincidence?

[catharticCarnifex]

I THINK NOT! >:[

Also, I realized I've set a pretty high standard on my own writing, since I used to chug out short stories a long time ago. I'm going to repeat again that if I do write a fic (which, you know, could happen), it would be 3000 words long, at least. Make of that what you will.

But I am secretly judging you

[Paul]

W-w-w-w-w-w-ww-


MSB i thought we had something ;_;

[Almost Human]

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Help me fill the pail
So the drone doesn't cull me or you

There are way to many syllables in that last bit, You are now banned from poetry.

Aw yeah getting moiraled by a drunk AH?

Everything's coming up Bandages C:

....
You know when you wake up after a night of drinking and look over to see what you did last night and learn her name...you know that intense regret you feel as you look at all her coldsores and upper lip hair?
Well I hate to break it to you Bandages...
...
....
No I can't fight it. I still love you.

Seriously though, don't worry. I'll help you fight AH.

Whoa, CC, I'm flattered, but I just don't have those kind if feelings for you okay?
I mean, I can't just go around fighting everyone who asks! I'm just not that kind!

I can handle AH myself.
After all, I have an ace i the hole to be released soon enough.
Mwahahahahahahaha

Aw, I wish I had a secret weapon. I guess I'll just have to beat you down the old fashion way.
Oh Well.

I just realized, both Almost Human and Andrew Hussie are referred as AH. Coincidence?

What the shit is the point of even trying to have a secret identity around here?
MAN

[flutterShy]

Is that where you were last night AH?!

[Almost Human]

Ahh...Ahhh...
N-No baby. I was in bed all last night. I never even got up once to accidentally smash open the liquor cabinet, order a bunch of things from the Shopping Network and than start up a new friendship based romantic relationship with the forums scariest collection of avatars. I mean, I Don't know what you saw, heard or read, but who are you going to trust baby, me or your silly mislead senses of the physical and common variety?

I don't... I don't know what to say or tell you, or ... what to do, I don't .. all this mess, but your words, and... I don't even know...

ohgod the first thing i did after reading your post was to look at your avatar worst idea /ever/ i think I Gave myself a heart-attack/panic attack

[DJ-P0N3]

I always suspected something.
I am pretty sure there is now a double meaning to AH - AH.

W-w-w-w-w-w-ww-


MSB i thought we had something ;_;

Whoa.
This is totally unrequited and unexpected.
THE DRAMA CONTINUES.

[Almost Human]

Hey.
Hey guys.
I wrote a song for my Kesemis's...eses. I wrote it just now, and than went through time and gave it to a singer so that I could post it here for you today. This is for you Mayor...I mean Kayak. Or perhaps Solaris.
No wait I mean Andrew Hussie...or...Me?
Hrm.

[DJ-P0N3]

Erk.
At school, I can't see it at all.
Nope, can't see a damn thing.

No one spoil it for me.

[flutterShy]

Oh
my
god
AH

o.O

[Paul]

I hope I'm in it. ;_;

I feel so unhated.

(ive been tsundere like this whole freaking thread wassup)

[catharticCarnifex]

*sigh* ._.

[Hazel]

Well, if I would be writing something, I'd settle on no less than 3000 words, but that's me. :| To be honest, and this is my opinion alone, writing a 500-word fic is something you can pull off in less than an hour. Just saying that a lot of people who're doing art gifts and what not are putting in hours in their stuff, so if you feel like you can write more than whatever arbitrary limit we put up, go ahead.

Again, this is not a ruling, this is just how I feel on this case. I will however say right here and now that there was a screenshot from WoW in the Secret Santa, and... that's... not even fun. That's just disappointing. So please put some effort into this.

I put hours into everything I write. I don't just slap something together and dump it on the internet. Writing also requires editing, copy-editing and beta-reading, or at least it does when I do it. Most of the best fics I've ever read were between 500 and 1000 words long, they were neat, well-edited and precise. More is not better, and I'd much rather receive a fic that someone put thought and effort into than a long spiel that hasn't even been copy-edited.

Then again, I'm not the recipient of my own work, because if I was, it wouldn't be an exchange. If other people feel that length is more important than quality, I can do that too.

[Almost Human]

Whoa I just caught this line. Is this serious?
Who the shit did that? And they're not invited back are they?
They're not here are they?

[catharticCarnifex]

Which is why I commented later that I was being harsh in my judgement. I'm sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intention, I was only speaking out of personal experience and I'm not even an experienced fanfic-writer. If you think 500-1000 words is good, then it's good. I'm not going to put in any kind of minimum or maximum, unless the vast majority ask me to. I was just sharing my own opinions on the matter.

[momatoes]

^ Link please :0

Anyway, I sure do hope there's a way to monetize all of these kismetic antics. Sigh. All I have is seventy gallons of mud and this large inflatable swimming pool lying around. SIGH

[gingerale]

The piece CC mentioned was a fic by Summergale to Crimson Lunar and the wow screen was just the visual part of the joke on it.

I guess you could have my large supply of revealing swim clothes, but I'm not sure how that would help at all.

[catharticCarnifex]

*is already in bathing gear, rolling around in the mud*

Yeah, I wasn't being fair to it. I apologize for that, it's just... I dunno, I spent literally almost a day all in all on the pic I did and I felt really bad about letting it go, but I shouldn't be so high-demand about all this, I just want people to have fun.

[LargM]

I LOVE going above and beyond on art trades. I think it has to do with the fact that the drawing or whatever is directed to a specific person and I get a supreme desire to make them happy and excited. Then I spend waaaay too much time on arting things up.
OF course you have to find time to do these things, so hopefully my schedule is going to be nice and open when I get to workin' so i don't disappoint.

Anyway I do have to admit I am getting a little jealous of all this hot spade action going on all of this thread. Maybe one day I will get a Voltaire youtube clip shoved romantically in my direction. Hey a mac truck driver can dream, right?

DEAL

You deliver it round the back of my house. Wear a garishly pink scarf, and a Dutton Button on your left lapel.

i will be waiting


In more serious chat, it really would be best if the art showed at least some modicum of effort. I'm not asking for any wowzy* kind of arts, but I want my gift, at least, to radiate the effort that was placed into it. Hmm, this is actually difficult to quantify or even specify.

*I ran out of adjectives.
