8:12AM - SMASH! Fanfiction competition



Open to Australian and International authors.


Do you have a favourite fandom that you like to daydream about? Maybe you’ve thought about Sakura and Li Syaoran’s marriage. Or how things might have gone if Luffy wasn’t a rubber man.

SMASH! is running its 5th annual fanfiction competition for those wanting to write their favourite characters in ordinary and the extraordinary situations.

Simply select one of the provided categories….and start typing away! Entries must incorporate one or more anime, manga or gaming fandoms’ characters and/or story. If you won’t be writing, you can join in the fun by voting for the entries when they go online in June! Deadline for entries is June 9, 2012 at midnight.

7:34PM - Signal boosting: My friend is filling art commissions to fund her wedding

My two best friends since high school (over a decade! WOW!) are going to get married sometime in the near future once Prop 8 is ground to dust, but they are pretty strapped for cash. Bonnie a.k.a. Madame Dei (check out her DeviantArt here and her website here) is drawing commissions to help raise money and her prices are pretty affordable (Pricing Guide) and any little bit will help them. Her professional work includes illustrations for Krewe of Harpocrates, a budding tabletop game company and while she does draw a lot of fantasy character and creature illustrations as well as anime and game fanart, she can draw pretty much anything. I can think of no other women who are happier than these two and they deserve to have a great ceremony.
