Wow, everyone started coming in around the time the event ended. XD I'll be dice rolling on a spam thread on Gaia for the winners and prizes and come back to tell you the results in a bit.


@Alice: Aha, I'm doing well, thanks. I just started feeding my knuffels; it's been a pretty busy day for me today (and it will be again tomorrow).

Oh, you're right about the literature; why didn't I think of that? XD Oh, I'll go ahead and take you up on your advice then and do that before the event thing. Thanks for your suggestion. :)

The professor checks the assignments at the end of each week (around Sat.) but I'm not sure if she leaves notes. In any case, I never check for that; all I really care about are the credits. XD; *headfloor*

I have gotten a perfect before --on a Final exam, to be exact. I couldn't believe it because I only studied, like, an hour before the exam. Then again, I did complete all her assignments during the semester, and I pretty much knew what was going on. XD

I'm one of those "smart but lazy" people. I always finish my assignments last minute (like writing reports the night before they're due and doing homework mere hours before I have to turn it in.) I don't recommend my lifestyle though; when I'm not doing homework, I always think about it. I get nightmares about school all the time. XD;


@Lan: Oh, yep! I should probably add the 3 gallery bit to the rules or something. Man, lots of stuff to do here. XD

I do that with my writing too --that is, if there are poems or lyrics in my writing, I use italics. I try to limit my use of bolds and underlines for my writing though; too much of it looks unprofessional to me. I pretty much do what I see in books. They are my free teachers. <3


@Xae: Yay! *dances*


So my thread confidantes and I have been talking, and we might use the member point system for things like "Character of the Month" contests and such. Or I think I mentioned something like that to them. In any case, I still have to do lots of work tomorrow, so I can't really talk to them about it until Wednesday (if they're free then), but if things go as planned, there will be nifty benefits in the long run. :)

Hello~ 8'D

| Mika | :: Agreed, I pretty much just look to published books for story formatting advice. XD
I don't think I had ever used bold or underline (unless for book titles and such) for story writing though. Or maybe I just forgot where I've used them. If it's for roleplaying, I usually bold what the characters say so they're more visible.

Aha, hey Kit! Don't worry, I've been pretty busy too. X)

The winners have been decided! :) I'll be sending a leaf tattoo to Ha Ru and 1k to Lan! :D Also, everyone who participated in this event will receive 1 member point.


@Lan: I use certain things like italics and underlines for the MLA format stuff... er, if I'm not lazy. It's just a habit I want to keep up with. Following the ways of the published is a good way to go, though. *nods*

I don't bold what a character says, but I italicize what they think.


Edit: Lan, I already have a trade open with you, so I can't send you the money. Ehh, I will send it via a mule. >x>

Of all these pieces of broken dreams

this one that scares and confuses me...



@ kityu:
What's "OTL"? Sorry for the newbie question... :)

@ Mikael:
I ALWAYS do everything last minute. But I know that I lack "smartness" (comparatively, lol) and so I have to fight with my extra lazieness if I want result. And I do want result. So while I do everything the last minute it involves A LOT of extra (and unnecessary) research. And well, that was a good compensation to my lack of luck and slow-thinking. XD Some really great professors noticed me. :mclove:

Ah, Xaevan is with us! I want an autograph...

Actually, there are many people on kofk who's autographs I desire.
Too many good artists for a single me. lol


Congratulations, Lan and Ha Ru!!!
*throws confetti*



...if all these things that you say are true

you should be someone I always knew.

Ah, thank you~ :mclaugh:
And congrats to Ha Ru!
( Okay, thanks for the heads up. Sorry for the trouble.
XD; )

It's been a while since I've had to write a paper, so I just haven't kept up with MLA format stuff. The most I've ever had to use of it was just for the Works Cited page anyway.
XD;;

And for bolding speech, it just depends on who else is roleplaying, heh. Sometimes I just try to match their formatting a little bit. I also italicize their thoughts though. owo

@Alice: Don't worry, I've asked that before. When I first started using chat, I didn't even know what "XD" was. *headfloor*

OTL is a person on their knees in defeat; the "O" is the head, the "T" is the arm and body, and the "L" is the leg. XD


@Lan: Yeah, I have to do more Works Cited stuff than official hardcore essays. XD My professors are nice and lax. <3

Nice.

I'm sending things slowly because I'm slowly updating the front page with this announcement...and stuff. XD;

Dear me... It must be my imagination but it doesn't look like a person in defeat. Well, no, it does, but... When I first looked at it it the way you explained, I was like "wtf???".
However it's ok now. lol
I must stop thinking about romantic relations between my characters. XD XD
I'd better draw something. I must figure out that shading thing at last!

I am such a dork. I sent Haru the 1k by mistake. *headfloor* Well, I guess I don't mind either way, but I PMed her a note about it to see which she'd rather have. XD;


@Alice: Aha, it looks surprisingly accurate to me.

Every time I think about my characters getting involved romantically with each other, it becomes utter chaos --one of those "so right, but so wrong" moments. *headfloor* It's only "right" in the sense that I like good eyecandy... braincandy... but since my characters are created for role-playing purposes, they don't actually ship well together. I don't think any of it will ever happen, otherwise I'd never be motivated enough to write. XD;
