Quality Prose Contest (JIP)The judging for this is currently in process, thank you for all the great submissions!
Another day and another contest at #Written-Imagination's week long birthday celebrations. This time our contest is looking for the quality construction of descriptive prose, not matter how flowery it happens to be (so long as we know what you're talking about and it conforms to rules). This means you show things that are happening to the audience with imagery, metaphor, simile, symbolism and all the other elements of figurative language.
You don't tell them by saying "it was sad" - you show them by saying "Tears spilled down her pale cheeks as the coffin descended into the freshly dug earth below." We want descriptive language to up our eyeballs and straining our brains!

So here are the rules for the contest:
It can be no more than

Big Contest(Win 1 Year PM)CLOSEDCLOSED
What honestly humbles me the most when it comes to dA, is that even when I am doing absolutely nothing, and seldom comment on your stuff lately (It's not due to me being uninterested, I just have become super busy lately, and I need to adjust my classwork/dA work) I still average at least 50 pageviews a day. I think that is lovely. While I don't look at pageviews when it comes to popularity, it's nice that my inactivity has made it so I am not forgotten.
So to show my appreciation, I would really like to kick my first year off on dA with a BANG. And that is with what? Making my own contest, with what as a grand prize? A One-Year Premium Membership

ooc: Day 4 Character Meme4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?
Shikamaru Nara? Vain? You have got to be kidding me.
Shika' doesn't care, like, what-so-ever.
Shika might know he's attractive but he doesn't know why.

Things?Updaaateeee
So for the past week I've been inactive because I went on camp. But now I'm back

Just got some random things I want to share.

Speaking of Naruto, I've finally caught up with it!! The next chapter seems so far away why does it only update once a week :iconlazycryplz:
And also, now I'm on holidays, I'm thinking of opening point commissions. Would anyone be interested? How many points would you be willing to donate for one?

Chapter 613 ...Kishimoto-sensei ... this is really .... mean ... first you kill off their sensei and now Ino's and Shikamaru's father ... I swear , Team 10 suffers more then Team 7 ...

You must be a member of the group to enter.
All submissions must be submitted by January 1st, 2013 in the Holiday Contest 2012 folder in the gallary.

All Submissions must be Holiday or Winter Spirit themed. They must take place during the winter season or be closely associated to it. It must be a strong theme in the one-shot.

Myself, Getsurei-Kage and Majorasmasks will be the judges. We will not enter for this reason. Judges and Artist links will be posted at the bottom of the blog.
All the submissions will be read and scored. You will be scored for your technique, originality, plot, and keeping to the theme.
After the judges pick winners, we will announce them in a blog.
We still only have 100 points donated

I would really like ShikaTema to become canon... but then there's NaruHina which also needs to happen as well... Hinata's confession during the Pein Arc can't go unnoticed..
Damn it
