Submissions for Update 01/31/07

I've asked in the fanart thread, and I've asked in the wallpaper thread, but I haven't got much of a response. I don't want to just consider anything you guys post on here free to EM-- that's your work, and I need your permission to have it on the site. If you have a submission, any submission, post it in this thread! I will not let you know here whether you have been rejected or accepted-- I'll email you, and if you have any questions about your submission, I will answer them privately if they are relayed privately, through pm or email, or publicly if you put them in the thread.

I will still be taking submissions by email, so feel free to send things that way! Also, feel free to ask questions about my criteria, my progress on this update, or anything else about the submissions process. I'm aiming for an update on the 31st of January, so look for it then.

ALSO. One last thing. As of the last time I had checked my email, I hadn't received any analysis, and while I may not show it by participating in discussion very often, the analysis I've read here has been fantastic. I would really like to include some of it in the essay section on the site, so if anyone wants to take a few of their posts and make an essay (a coherent essay, mind you-- none of this batman stuff emot-mad) I'll definitely give it a read and see whether it qualifies.

Thanks in advance for all the great submissions! emot-keke

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

The only thing I could give you is fanfic.  But I'm not a writer, so we'll just forgo that idea.

Nonsense. That Juri/Shiori fic you posted in the forum some time ago was terrific. Still is. emot-biggrin

I have a few potential pictures I could send in, but count on me to not find enough time to color then. >:

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

Hey, if it's not up on EM, go ahead and submit it! I'll be happy to take a look at anything Utena-related, whether you did it years ago or now.

And angelicreation, don't be silly. If you have SKU stories, please do submit them. Since the forum started, donations have dropped right off, and I'm kind of worried that we won't have enough to bother updating with.

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

*Puts hand up* I've been working on an essay! It's a big heaving bastard, dealing with parallels in the series and movie (and it's an attempt to explain just why Movie Akio is such a suckhole school-eng101 )

I've got a whole day in a beachhouse coming up, I may just have to shift all my Utena files onto the laptop and do some hardcore research now, get it done a.s.a.p.

Ooh, and I'm sure I've got some of the silly wallpapers I made long ago.

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

Okay, I have to ask, would it be alright if I were to write an essay about Shiori? Nothing too big, just a minor essay on why she is the way she is, since that seems to be one of the biggest misconceptions about her character.

Okay I know I don't run the site but why do you feel you have to ask permission to write about Shiori. Your Shiori analysis is wonderful; of course you should write and essay and submit it. Seriously! Go now...get writing.

Okay, I'll have it finished before the next update.

Honestly, I'm never very sure of my own opinion, so I wasn't sure if I just sounded like a babbling idiot who likes to babble about Shiori in particular. e.e

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

Fine, fine... I'll send you the small amount of fanfic stuff - drabbles really- that I have finished.  Maybe... maybe if I ever finish the one I sent Giovanna to peruse, I'll give that one to you.

I'm still not a writer.  *pbbt*

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

Yes, or email them to me, or just link them or something. Trying to keep track of who's given permission and who hasn't should have given me a headache, but it hasn't... I don't have a whole lot to put up this update. That, and I don't want to just go around appropriating work that you guys might not think was ready, or that was private and you only wanted to share it with us, not just anyone who comes on the site.

I know it's more work for you, but at least this way the lines stay nice and clear as to who wants what on EM.

Edit: Also, thanks angelicreation. Be sure to let me know how you want to be credited.

Go ahead and credit me as angelicreation.  My real name isn't that interesting anyways.

PM is fine, of course! And I really like at least links to the pictures posted here, pm'ed to me, or emailed to me. I don't want to run the risk of mixing up which pieces are fine to put on EM and which are not.

Batman stuff.

I was just joking, I don't think anyone would expect to get that in fanart, even if it is really funny. emot-keke

Same thing goes for essays about Touga-Batman. emot-mad

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

I'm resizing wallpapers. Except I think I already sent you most of the completed ones I actually intend to submit. If I ever get around to finishing my Keiko, Yuuko, and Aiko one before the 31st,  though, I'll send that too.

I feel like wallpaper-making is consuming my life -_-;
