Apply to the crew!

<img:img/mood/15082_1166671878.jpg>

There is now finally a structured rule-based way to get into the Elftown crew. So far the crew has been my friends, and their friends and their friends. But as Elftown has become too big, I feel it's necessary to have a more formal process.

Please note that we don't have unlimited time to consider applications. Also note that you can have fun applying, even if you don't get the honour of being selected for doing slave-work without getting paid ;-)

Elftown Valentine Competitions

The deadline for the Elftown Valentine Competitions is coming up! Don't forget that you can enter photos, artwork or poetry!

The theme is 'heart(s)' so your entry needs to include a heart in it somewhere, but that's it - so get creative!

Deadline is the 14th February 2010 (surprise!)

Easier to be friends...

No, we can't really make it easier to be friends. But it's now easier to suggest to someone that you want to be their Elftown-friend as you don't have to have received a message from that member. It makes sense as you might already know that person before joining Elftown or that you know the person well from the forums or the wiki.

Needless to say: Don't send out friends-request to people whom you don't know!

If this causes more problem than it solves, we'll revert the change.

Decorating


City lights
Shinning bright
Drowning out
My starry night

A little tree
Filling a small
Corner of my
Little home

Tinny lights
Shinning bright
Bring a twinkle
Back into the night.

Snow falling down
All over town
What a beautifully
Wondrous sight

Cat's Suicide - PART ONE


1

There is no simple pass
In the mountain.
The mourners must climb
Up the stairwell---

2

Winding up, winding down
The steppe is harsh
So is the sound.
I am not there,
But was with the needy,
That need. Always need.

3

The waters are flat,
The cat is quick to
Descend into the water.
I follow, cautious
Death takes its time.
I take mine.

4

The cat stops--
And lets the pace of
The waves pick up.
Death takes its time.
And now mine.
The sun is dim
It will not look when
The existence dives.

[Hendercrazy]

<img300*0:http://www.elftown.com/img/photo/7914_1213137848.jpg>


How haven't we featured this guy yet? Hendercrazy is one of the few gentlemen worthy of the title "the man". He's a freaky talented artist, responsible for the oh so comical (excuse my horrible puns) Spazznik. He's super cool, super nice... he's pretty much a super hero when you get right down to it. Go look at his house, go click on his wikis. Do it!

What is it you do mostly on Elftown?
Currently, I'm having fun with writing and illustrating an ongoing webcomic called Spazznik. :D I'm also hosting a small comic workshop over in The Comic Workshop. The format being focused on at the moment is single panel cartoons. There are a few folks already there participating and can be found in the TCW - Single Panel Cartoons. Last, but certainly not least, I'm putting together a more serious side of my art in a wiki entitled Art of Derek Henderson. It's here you will eventually find my work as finished art prints and the progressions leading up to the final product. Some of the images might even make it on to t-shirts as well... we'll see. Admittedly, it's slow going right now but I'm working on it. :)

Is there a particular thing you like about Elftown, such as a specific wiki?
Just love to roam around in poeple's ET houses, look at art, follow links to their wikis and whatever other fun and cool stuff I happen to discover. :D

Is there a member whose house you really like yourself? Why do you like that house?
Off of the top of my head...
[travs the bean] - He's a good friend, a great talent and a person who I've worked with in the past. :)
[deeterhi] - Don't really know her that well but she has some really nice comic work. :D
[Yncke] - A cool person who's really improved with her art. ;)
[M!] - A fun and wacky girl who often flirts with creative genius. :P
[Nocturnaliss] - A former girlfriend who's as unique as her nifty stylized art.

Have any critique/comments/suggestions/admiration etc. on a specific Elftown matter?
I'd love to see a whole new flux of artists and writers from Elfwood make their way here. It's time to liven the place up a bit with a whole new generation of fantasy and sci-fi folks!!!

What is your message to all Elftowners?
"Every failure you endure gets you one step closer to success." :D - Derek "Hendercrazy" Henderson

<img300*0:http://www.elftown.com/img/photo/32014_1228607244.jpg>


By golly-gosh! It's Doormat! This poetry virtuoso has been featured poet a record 14 times. Along with poetry, Doormat indulges in the activities of "shooting bears in the face with paintballs", "sliding down mountains atop pieces of compressed wood" and of course, "pwning noobs". This multitalented member is seriously entertaining and you've really got to give his house a visit!

What is it you do mostly on Elftown?
Lurk, talk to people, submit poems to contests, troll wikis. :P

Is there a particular thing you like about Elftown, such as a specific wiki?
Daily Poem. Submit stuff. Wait. Win. Submit moar. Rinse, Repeat, Eat. Profit. :D Also, Bears, for the latest tactical intel.

Is there a member whose house you really like yourself? Why do you like that house?
[Rainbow Dragonflies] It’s nicely laid out, pretty, and entertaining. I have a feeling that her camera pwns mine as well.

Have any critique/comments/suggestions/admiration etc. on a specific Elftown matter?
Moar contests, cats, cowbells, Cray X-MPs, participation, people, palindromes, pantomimes, etc. plz

What is your message to all Elftowners?
Get out there and do stuff, no matter what it may be. Someone will like it/hate it, but hey, you’ll give someone something to do. Also, when in doubt, HIT Z TWICE TO DO A BARREL ROLL!

The featured story for 30 September 2009 is brought to you by [Kaimee] (author) and [Linderel] (nominator)
