Wishing everyone a wonderful start to 2018!

Hopefully it's better than 2017.

:)

Happy New Year!
I hope 2012 is a year of good fortune for everyone and a year where you can achieve your goals (if not your dreams).

*hugs*

Edit:oops set this to just private instead of everyone. >_>

SMASH! (Sydney Manga and Anime Show) is a convention by fans for fans. We have a really strong focus on creativity from artists to cosplayers to authors.

SMASH! is running a fanfiction competition for those interested in taking a bit of creative license to canon (or possibly throwing it right out the window).

Take your favourite series or characters and shape and twist them to your heart’s content.

Entries will be judged by a panel of reputable fanfiction authors, chosen for their skills and knowledge of a broad range of fandoms.

To be in on the action, have a look at the fandom list (you’re sure to know at least one of them), and pick one of our prompts to use as broadly as you like to write your fanfic. The skies the limits for what you choose to write (any scene, any pairing), but all fanfics must be rated G or PG. The word length of fics is recommended to be between 1000 to 5000 words, but this is a recommendation, not a hard limit.

Unfortunately prizes will only be awarded to entrants from Australia or New Zealand, but others are welcome to enter and receive feedback from our judges.

Deadline - Midnight, July 1st 2010

Please pass the message on if you have any friends who may be interested. Thanks!

YŪKO MIYAMURA and TIFFANY GRANT are coming to Sydney Town Hall on Saturday August 7th!

The Japanese seiyū and the American voice actor for Evangelion's Asuka are our VIP Guests at SMASH! this year. Neon Genesis Evangelion is a landmark in anime history, and SMASH! is honoured to bring you the voices behind this ground-breaking series.

We're also proud to announce as a special guest MATT GREENFIELD!

Matt is a co-founder of ADV Films and one of the pioneers in the Western anime industry. ADV Films was responsible for releasing Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hellsing, Rurouni Kenshin, Azumanga Daioh, Noir and many, many more.

Tickets for the convention will be $20 for advance sales and $25 for at-the-door. We'll have an announcement about when tickets go on sale soon. There's still lots of exciting news about this year to tell you, so keep your eyes on the blog, join our DeviantArt group, friend us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter (social media whores).

Why are we one day? Dreading the idea of the Town Hall dungeon again? You need to read the FAQ! http://www.smash.org.au/2010-faq/

A bit late, but better late than never.

Because I was tempted by the unknown...
( Darn you ambigous answers. )

In other news...yes I know I still fail at updating. I've picked up more work shifts and am starting to try and pull together my project outline for my honours. Also banging my head against the idiosyncrasies of computers (particularly those which run windows OS on top of the apple OS) *sighs* (9hours straight today with only minor progress)
I'm around on occasion...and occasionally manage to reply to people's posts.

But I still love you all.
I swear!

Heyhoo everyone.
*gleebles*
*tackles and bear hugs you all*

( Ramblings and quizzes and well...edging on babbling. But that really should be expected from me after exams. You can't say there weren't warnings. )
*luffles you all*
See you on the net.

To all of my religious friends I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Everyone else well it's a nice day all the same. Hope you enjoy it.

Happy Holidays all.

*blows kiss*

As per usual with my family, I haven't managed to run on time with my christmas plans this year.
This was mostly helped along by my older sisters "absolutely necessary" party, which involved many days of physical labour and as much time as possible to retreat into sleep.
Anyway, presents still haven't been sent off. I'm off to the post office with them tomorrow.
Sorry about lateness...then again they aren't exactly christmas presents, more like holiday appreciation gifts anyway (that come wrapped in xmas wrapping paper).
Most of you should get them within a month (maybe 2 since Canada can't seem to get packages to people in less than that)

Oh julzbat we need to meet up soon. I'm working the 29th, but am otherwise free. Let me know your plans...

EDIT: GAH! Slept in and managed to miss the post. Guess I'll be sending them off after everything opens again in a couple of days. Sorry

Wow, I can't believe it's already almost christmas again. Time really flies even when you're not having fun.
Anyway I thought I'd do the necessary christmas/season exhange post.

I've been really busy this year, so I haven't really had a lot of time to interact with people and months as a time went between posts and comments. Yet a few of you have managed to make me feel your loving friendship all year, even when I was absent. So I have a few gifts lined up for people.

Sooo:
danii06
forochel
kasugai_gummie
meitachi
windyhurrice
and of course the also much absent B-kins

Be expecting stuff in your mailbox...probably shortly after christmas (as soon as I hunt down your addresses again). Probably not something on any of your wishlists, but something that reminds me of you.
If anyone else would like rambling incoherency a letter or christmas card, drop me a line with a link to your address and I'll get right on it.

As for my wishlist:
1)Reciprocity is always heart-warming
2)Any fandom shinies you'd like to dedicate to me...:P
Fanfic, icons, etc. are always appreciated in any of a few fandoms...KKM (gen/ConYuu), PoT (Ryoma), Reborn (Gokudera), Oofuri (Mihashi *crows* Duck-boy *cough*), DGM (Allen), ES21 (Hiruma, Sena, Shin)
3)Good slashy or gen. books (particularly fantasy ones) Very sick of unrealistic female characters and the unbelievable romance elements that take over the plot.
4)For all my wonderful friends to have a lovely and much enjoyed christmas/holiday season, full of happiness and fun

Still working on that coming to visit...was almost going to be in North America for your next winter(?) session...but that looks like it's falling through as the government seems willing to offer me money if I start my honours project and run it over christmas next year.
Anyway, for my contact details go here (locked post of course)

*love and hugs for you all*

Psssst, of course all my Australian friends who I'll see soon will get theirs by hand.
