Round 105 Update

ENTRIES ARE DUE SATURDAY, MARCH 13TH, AT 11:59PM.

C'mon, guys. xD
Artwork should be the category to pass without hesitation. I mean, it's always had three winners. So get me those three entries, and you can send in more avatars or whatever. :)

Also, I thought the site Pixlr might be of help to you with finishing the art stuff. It's an online version of Photoshop (but not quite). You don't get as many options-- like brushes or filters-- as Photoshop or Gimp, but it works a tad better than MS Paint, unless you're a pixel artist. Have fun. ;D

"Th[e] theme is still 'toys' (and yes, plushies count. Anything your pet can play with counts. Except snowglobes. They're misfits. >c)"

Also, please send me entries via anamail only, by sending a link (if you're a premium user) or an uploaded url (if you're a normal or premium user).

DID I NOT PUT UP THE NEW ROUND OF THE AWC YESTERDAY I'M SORRY GUYS. You can hit me.

Anyways now that that's out of the way, I'm announcing the new AWC. Which is unthemed. And unthemed AWC. That does NOT, people, mean that it can be written about ANYTHING WILLY NILLY. It does have to be Anatherian (in the sense that "Anatherian" is the only restriction). That means that you cannot write about how you had such a bad day at school but your boyfriend made you feel better. Unless you were a Kuma and your boyfriend was Lepus and it wasn't school, it was Alchemy school. Yeah. So. Send your entries to me.

Toodles!

Do you know this guy? Probably not, he's not been formally introduced yet. But for now, his name is Albert and he's a wizz at making plushies. Or at least, he was until his eyesight started to fade. Now he trains other Zenox in the art of plushie making, as he believes only Zenox have what it takes to be true masters of tinkering, what with the multiple eyes and limbs.

So look out Tinkers, there's competition! More on Albert another day... Keep checking the skies! News. I mean news. And no, Albert doesn't always wear Crystalmas clothing. Don't be so silly!

So anyway, Albert's latest creations are these:


Zufinx Plushies, yay~!

With great appreciation to Glen for the Zufinx Plushies.


This poor Ursa was looking for somewhere to nap and wandered into the Power Drop Mines. Not finding it satisfactory enough, he decided to burrow a little and ended up excavating a few news items that our Cruz;


Hadn't seen before.




A new fossil, a mineral and mineraloid. I have no idea what the difference is, Clari made me do it. :o

The Ursa let his discoveries go to his head, and has now declared himself the official Power Drop Mining Champion. A little bit persumptious, eh? Perhaps there's something you could to make him a bit more humble.

Fossils are always special, so if you get one, keep it safe. And don't worry, The rocks, minerals and mineraloids will do something cool in the future.

With great appreciation to CometCon for the Skull Fossil.

With great appreciation to Clari for the Amber & Amethyst.

PS: What's that? That Ursa looks like it could be an element? Why no... I don't believe it IS an element... But hey, his friend might just live up to your expectations.


But uhm, she looks kinda grumpy. Not enough sleep, maybe? After all, they were looking for a den for the night. And now they have all this puplicity! The glamour of being a celebrity is never easy.

With great appreciation to Gabsph for the Miasma Ursa.
I am really so very sorry, but it's so hard to find enough time to go on the computer these days.

Now I know a lot of you were sorry to see this go. It's the old Fire Taikim. It was never meant to be Fire, but I obviously had a Zerky moment and released it as fire accidently!


Welcome back our fiercesome rooster, now the Glamourous Topaz Taikim.

Now, have you ever seen the sparkly combs about?


Sure you have, they've been general junk for AGES. But one night, after a relaxing bath, Nicci's usual brush snapped at the handle while styling her luchious locks. Catastrophe! It was the middle of the night, no where would be open this time of night. But it just so happens Nicci is good friends with the Junk Shop owner.


She knocked on his door, and needless to say, he wasn't too pleased to be woken up when he had work in the morning! Nicci persuaded him to let her borrow a few combs. In exchange, she said, she would try some magicks on them so she would never be without something to brush her hair with. And so he agreed.

The result was slightly different to what she planned, but it wasn't a complete loss. The Junk Shop owner decided that they were now too valuble to sell and he withdrew them from his stock.

And that as they say, is that. For now, perhaps you should try using them on your Taikim. But who knows... Perhaps other pets will be affected in the future, due to Nicci and her broken brush.

With great appreciation to Kurokitty for the Glamourous Topaz Taikim.
