Double posting just because I have more banning to do and people might not realize it if I edit that last post.

It was brought to my attention that there are crazy fangirls out there. :O Fangirls who enjoy Netto x Enzan pairings. I have to see enough of those doujin covers whenever I search on eBay as it is, so that pairing is banned. Too popular on the same gender side of things. As are ANY Navi and their corresponding Net Op. Obviously, you aren't going too far on the creativity scale if you were to do Netto x Rockman, Yuriko x Needleman, etc. I would think you guys could've figured that out, but now it's been offically said. So please, stay away from those as well.

OK, now I hope and pray to Jesus, Allah, Buddah, Confucious, L. Ron Hubbard and Duo that's all I'll have to say on pairings anymore.

...'So, what about Daisuke x Saloma?' says someone randomly...IT'S FINE!!

Just a little random business I'm gonna take care of now. While the hacking really shouldn't have affected anybody entering, except if Ryouko does, I figured I'd give some more leeway to the deadline date. They will still be officially due on the 14th. But since weekdays can be sorta bad, especially for all you in school, I'll accept late entries until Saturday the 17th at midnight CST. We'll start judging the next day, so that should be enough extra time, if you need it.

Still wouldn't mind if another person or three would like to volunteer to help judge, too. Unless you still haven't decided if you're gonna enter or not. Rather not have the judging be too biased.

Also, I went ahead and posted my little certificate of appreication on my DA account, as some already know. So if you have submitted already, or plan to and want to grab it, go ahead:
Thanks for entering!

Another quick little double post to let everyone know you officially have about 1 week left to get those entries in! A week and 11+ hours from this post to be exact. So get to work!

Also, as an FYI: I've had the flu since late Monday night and haven't been able to get out of bed, let alone try to turn the computer on, since then. So by the looks of things, I didn't receive anything from anyone. But know if you did try to send something, I didn't get it. So if you send something over the next day or two and I don't reply quick or update the list, I'm not ignoring you. I'm just feeling so bad still that I don't really feel like going online.

Hope to see plenty of new entries when I check in again! (See, now I can use the guilt angle to plead for more entries to make me feel better Wink

)

This will be my final shameless plug!! Get your entries in by tomorrow night at midnight CST! That's about one full day and 8 hours from this post. Your time is running out to win some battlechips and Ryuusei cards or Ryouko's random mystery prize. Submit your crazy couple before it's too late! Loved all the entries I've gotten so far. But I still haven't recieved some that I thought I would be seeing. Crying or Very sad

Also, thank you to Izumi and (hopefully) Unknown Neo for putting up with my pestering and agreeing to judge along with Blue and I.

And if Unknown bails out, BubbleJudgeman is getting ready to randomly give out scores to our excellent entries!

(See, I can come up with some random thing in an hour while still hacking up my lungs from the stupid-hanging-on-to-me flu. No excuse for you not to draw something up as well! Smile

)

EDIT: Eh, I'm gonna be in enough trouble with all my quadtuple posts, so I'm just editing this one in this thread. Same as posted in the news post right here:

That's the ballgame! It's officially after midnight here, so the contest must now draw to a close. I'll be sending the judges a little note in a bit here, so we'll start judging tomorrow. If you were confused on the deadline and absolutely still want to enter, I will only let you sweettalk me into allowing your entry until tomorrow morning! But I have a feeling that's it.

We had a total of 14 entries by 11 participants: 9 in Romance and 5 in Humor. So thank you to all who entered. Thought I'd be getting a few others, but I guess I can't complain for a spur of the moment idea. Tabby will be happy that there is at least one pic that is perfectly dirty enough if she uses her imagination...I did and I'm now going to therapy for it. *shudder*

Hopefully, with our number of entries, judging won't take terribly long, but please be patient. I will post a link to the entries in the fanart thread once judging is complete. To tide you over until then, have a crappy rejected humor entry! (Yes, you can pay me to never draw something so ugly in paint with only a mouse in about 20 minutes again. Can't say it's my forte. I'm a stickin' to pencil sketched pics only! Feel free to mock this Laughing

):

*Trumpets blare*

And here are the results, everyone!

*12/16/07 EDIT* New link here:
http://www.freewebs.com/rockmiyabi/

I'm hoping my bandwidth holds out, and the judges didn't even put a dent in it. But I've never monitored a webpage really, so if it goes down, I apologize. I'll let you know if I've been alerted that you guys have sucked it all up. I haven't worked with .html in forever, but I think it's managable to read and click through. Also hope I didn't forget anything. Double checking doesn't always guarantee it's OK. If something's screwy, let me know.

Congrats to our Humor winner, Maqqy, and our Romance winner, Chang! Maqqy ran away with this competition, being the only unanimous piece. Because of that, she will have the tiebreaker in the prize selection. Either your choice of battlechips from my list and the McDonald's Ryuusei card set from NumberGirl or Ryouko's mystery prize. But remember, Ryouko's prize could be nothing more than a half-eaten Nintendo Power MMX pog! Shocked

I'll be contacting both winners shortly.

In terms of scoring, my system was simple. Entries were awarded points based on the number of entries in the category. With 6 total in Humor, a judge's first place entry got 6 points, 2nd got 5, and so on down the line. First place in Romance recieved 9 points, 2nd 8, etc. All 4 scores were added together and that's the number you see. So for example, Maqqy had all 6's with all four first place votes, so that's how she got 24 points. We actually had a tie in Romance, so I gave one bonus point for each first place vote. Since Chang had two votes for first, that broke the tie between she and mayl. As you'll see from the comments, we all had very differing opinions about our faves in this category. That made for a very tight race!

I made sure that the judges left some type of comment for their Top 3 in each category. Unknown Neo was nice enough to comment on them all, and I did as well. So everybody gets some feedback on their entries.

And I had some transparency issues working on the trophy sigs, so I just ended up making a little alteration to them and kept them as customized certificates the top 3 can print off instead. Those links come after your score. If any of you'd still like some type of custom sig instead, lemme know and I'll get around to it.

So thanks for entering everyone, and I hope everyone else enjoys seeing these crazy, sweet couples!
