Hi there. I am breaking my long-time accidental journal hiatus to bring you wonderful news.

:iconpatronoct:, a writers' OCT for writers hosted by the fanciest of lances, madam fancylances, is a thing, and you should join that thing.

Do you like superheroes? Of course you do. You're on the internet. Everyone likes superheroes on the internet.

Do you like words? I'll bet you do. You're reading them right the fuck now.

Do you like defeating your foes and rivals in literary combat with words and a superhero of your own creation? "MY VERY OWN SUPERHERO, OH GOLLY!" I hear you say? Yes, golly indeed. They can totally be anything. Your superhero's power could even be kittens. I know mine would be, if I could join.

But alas, I cannot, for I am judging all up in this sexy beast of a competition, which brings me to our final sales pitch. Do you like fair, balanced, thoughtful, experienced judging in your online competitions? Aww yiss, we have it all, folks.

Come one, come all, to the Patron OCT, where your superhero competes to be the Official Patron Superhero of Diesel City.


For more information, visit PatronOCT, or visit the chatroom at chat.deviantart.com/chat/write…

If you're wondering why I haven't been online much recently, it's cause I've been hosting european tourists from couchsurfing.org. It's pretty much the best thing EVER and I'll probably make a rant of some sort about it sometime soon but right now I'm short of time 'cause I'm at a friend's place.

Basically the point is the German couchsurfer I have at the moment used my computer and now it's a diseased hulk. That's probably unrelated but I'm usually pretty careful and I can't be sure of others' online habits. I got hit with a spyware / trojan bomb disguised as some anti-virus software which auto-installed on my computer. It's blocked every possible avenue for repair by disabling pretty much everything that isn't that program or msn I guess.

All this while running Norton antivirus which costs me like $90 a year so FUCK THEM IN AN INFECTED STAB WOUND TO THE LIVER AREA. THANKS FOR NOTHING, ASSHOLES.

So I'm thinking about defecting to Steve Jobs and his apple empire and getting a mac. Should I? Is it possible to get a pirated copy of photoshop to work on there? Flash, even? Is it worth it? Anything else I should know?

Or, any suggestions for decent pc style laptops? I'm looking for something decentish but still compact enough to travel with.

See you either on the flipside when I work my limited computer necromancy and revive my PCrap, or when I visit a friend next, or whenever. Shit sucks, man.

Do you have a super special unique snowflake female character? Or just a regular female character? Does she have a mouth? If so, you're in luck.

Wanna find out what she sounds like?

My eternal colleague and esteemed bro mmmkitties, who you may recognise from pretty much everything ManlyMens related, and this excellent flash animation by the illustrious PhiTuS, requires regular voice acting assignments to maintain enough sanity to keep up her carefully constructed facade of normalcy. Who knows what could happen if she isn't given a way to channel her university induced rage?

Anyway, she turned this rage on me today. It took dozens of links to amusing pictures to soothe it. While we wait for PhiTuS, Okk, and JerkDouglas to be struck with the inspiration and time to make something flashy that requires ladyvoices, I figure I'd sign her up for a cool mini-project to save myself from a horrible fate.

That's where you guys come in. Comment on this journal with a visual reference (if you have lots link to lots) of the character, a description of who and what she is and all that, and some lines you'd like voiced (with context, I suppose).

At this stage, I'm going to set the slots for this at ten, with a possibility that mmmkitties may want to injure me for volunteering her for this and therefore she might want to scale back and choose her five favourites instead.

It'll probably be collated and posted as a film or something on dA, which is part of the reason why visual references are needed, so they can be pasted in so the video isn't just a blank screen.

It might even get used in a demo reel or something, maybe. She needs to do one of those soon.


So anyway, help a sister out. Let her voice your character. Be cool.

AS IN STORIES ABOUT EVENTS AND STUFF, NOT THE THING THE MOON DOES.


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, I COME FROM THE FUTURE WITH NEWS OF '11. SO FAR, IT'S PRETTY DARK. COULD THIS MEAN THE SUN HAS BEEN EXTINGUISHED (AS FORETOLD BY SOME ANCIENT MAYAN PROPHESY)? MORE NEWS AS IT HAPPENS.

Also, you may notice a distinct lack of christmas cards hailing from Australialand in your letterboxes. For this I am truly sorry. I have about five of them in various stages of completion but I've sent out none of them. I blame mmmkitties for that, because she arrived from Canadaland and we immediately gallivanted off to explore the imaginatively named Kangaroo Island (where, ironically, we saw everything BUT kangaroos (but we did see about a dozen wallabies, and I'm pretty sure they can combine Voltron style to become kangaroos so that counts I guess)) and the Barossa Valley, which, if you know anything about wine, is KIND OF A BIG DEAL.

Anyway I kinda went on a tangent there, the point I'm trying to get to is because I couldn't get them to y'all by christmas, I'm upgrading them to something quasi-special.

YAY!

So expect to see some within the next few days I guess. I'll still send out the originals if you guys still want them.

But for now, good day and good night. Try not to blow yourselves up with fireworks and junk.

Words and stuff


<EDIT>
IF Y'ALL WANT A CARD AND AREN'T ON THE LIST, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY DO SOME NOTING. ALSO THAT REMINDING THING STILL STANDS I THINK I MISSED A FEW MORE JOURNALS MAYBE.
</EDIT>

So like I saw some journals and stuff about some christmas card thing that's going around, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon.

Who wants a christmas card, sent direct from Australialand?

But not just ANY christmas card - I'm talking one of a kind, personalised, unique, yet utterly worthless cards made by yours truly, featuring a delightful christmas themed cover spread drawn by me, probably featuring some of my characters because I'm an egotist and I actually think you would like this, and one sketchy pencil drawing thing on the inside. This can be of anything you want. ANYTHING. Except dicks. I'm not drawing a dick.

I will send this card to you if you are currently residing somewhere on Earth.

Here's the deal:

Send me a note with the important information I need- A) Your mailing address (so I can mail it out to you) B) The name (Real or fake, doesn't matter, but it needs to be addressed to someone) C) What you want me to draw.

PS: If you don't tell me what you want, you'll be left at my mercy for what I draw you. It might even be a dick. But it will probably just be one of your OCs or something.


THE LIST:
DeadGP
mippins
Leucrotta
Maygen-Lucia
Silverkestrel
KasumiAlche
Tamasha


ALSO I accidentally deleted some of the journals and I can't remember who they belong to, so if you're offering the same thing (or want to return the favour) please let me know because I honestly have never received a christmas card in my life except from my mother and aunt and stuff and I would like to get some this year. THANKS.
