...I have "I Want Your Sex" stuck in my head, which is the tune I typed that title to, so yeah ^^; Kaido Kio is my default user-picture, so blame that.

ANYWAY! Happy first day of spring :D (for those in the Northern Hemisphere, 'in any case' ^^;)! Since it seems like you wonderful lot want a contest (according to the poll at http://sheikxlink_fc.livejournal.com/2012/03/11 ), then there shall be a contest~ So that means we need to work things out for it.

So there shall be a 2012 Minuet of Spring contest. Physical and non-physical prises/prizes seem to be tied, so how does a choice like last time sound?

vatelle has offered their services (and so do I), but would anyone else like to volunteer anything? Art, writing, unlimited rice pudding, et cetera, et cetera? If you would like to, just leave a comment in this post saying what :) I personally will be offering art, writing, a Shink button like last time, and/or a 2 months paid subscription for LiveJournal. Sadly doujinshi for this are too rare & expensive to offer :(

Next I would like to know if the 2009 format** was alright? 600 words or 600x600 pixels were the maximum limits. The point of that was to have a bunch of short/small entries that wouldn't be daunting, and kinda fit in with it being for spring. Would you like a different set-up? Should tge limits be higher, or lower? Should there be an added theme? Last time an entry had to be based on a song, was that alright? Here is the opportunity to let me/everyone know!!!

I would like to get everything organised within the next 2 weeks so that it could be opened around April 4TH (04-04), and run until May 5TH (05-05) if there are no objections. So please spread the word around!

OKAY! I am finally getting to the posting of the results [like 10 days late on this]!

I firstly want to apologize for all the lags and stuff from my end. When I first posted the contest, life was going awesome. But just since April there has been a lot of real-life stuff come-up, and I haven’t been online much at all. BUT today is my birthday~ ;D So HOPEFULLY don’t be too mad at my frequent absences, and reply to this with lots of flaming [I am 21 as-of 4:00pmAST~].

Soooooooooooooooo; *badum ba bum* The results of the poll I posted almost a month ago!:

Defiantly going to be a contest!
Defiantly going to be split into two categories!
- fan art
  &
- fan fiction
There will be a winner and a runner-up for each category!
There will be prizes! [no idea when I started spelling it with a 'z' D:]
You guys all rock so hard!
The most asked for prizes were commissioned fan art & fan fiction!
This time it is going to be fluff-based, but there will be a angst-based one later this year ;)

So as I mentioned in the previous post; If you want art/fic for winning, than there needs to be volunteers. Already three lovely ~~'bachelorettes'~~ members [fireflypenance, aubuyn, & rein_kun] have put themselves forward for writing (seriously you guys are win!), so now there just needs to be some artists :D Once that is done I'll open it up and get this show on the road! *weeeeeee*

Also if you are signed-up for prizes you can still compete!~♥
