Advice for our Artists and WritersI figure this is a much needed journal. I know a lot of people want to know how to get better and how to rank better in the judging. It's very tough to judge at all, believe us - there are so many great entries and it's hard to give out numbers that suggest "this one is better than this other one-" but I guess that's the reality of judging, huh?
Well, this group IS here to give people prompts about what to draw. We like seeing improvement, and there was a good amount of it from people who entered Mission 2 after having done Mission 1. I can only imagine how much more improvement we'll see with these next ones!
I suppose I ought to start at something that both the art and writing categories have in common:
Readability
For these two categories, readability means a separate but similar thing.
For art, ask yourself these questions...
1) Is my handwriting legible?
It's important that we can clearly and quickly read what you wr

Writing App 2.0 Feedback / SuggestionsWhile the response to the Writing App v2.0 has generally been positive, there have been a number of writers who dislike or hate it entirely! I would like anyone with any kind of constructive feedback or suggestions to post them here so I can read them.
Some things to keep in mind:
The art application serves a few purposes:
1. What Pokemon are on a team
2. What guild the Pokemon are in
3. Showcasing the artist's skill level and style
4. Providing all of the above in a consistent format (the application outline itself)
Accomplishing both #3 and #4 in a written application was a bit more difficult than I realized, so I tried to get around that by writing a small series of interactions between Callahan and whatever team was going up to him to register. I believe it has been fairly successful, but the complaints I have received about it were mostly along the lines of "Too constraining, too boring if Callahan is a

NEW POLICY FOR PMD-E EXTRA EXTRAEvent folders will be reopened for a brief period of time after we're done sorting through all the submissions.
What this means for you:
You still have a chance to get credit for completing an Event.
What this also means for you:
Your submissions will not be eligible to be in the featured category.
Your teams will most likely not be in any kind of cameo we use for the canon story line.
Some of you may notice that this policy is JUST LIKE THE PROCEDURE FOR MISSION FOLDERS. That's right! A lot of people don't realize we reopen the Missions folders for about a week after we're done judging in order to give people an extra chance to complete a mission for credit (but not judging!). It's been like this since the start of PMD-E, and it's always been listed under the countdown clock.
The only difference is that instead of not getting judged (late mission entries), your event won't get featured or cameo'd/incorporated into the main story line.

Rescuers Mission 6Hi!!
Let me just take this chance to tell y’all that Mike’s a lil buttface and ran back home to Mom!! Or that’s what Mr. Fresnel told me, anyway.  I’d believe it if I were you, he prolly knows what he’s talkin about, being a super cool music guy and all.
...except that he keeps not giving me my freakin triangle! It’s really annoying!!  When you see him I think you should bug him lots.  Don’t tell him I told you to.  I mean it.  I’ll make you pay if you do!
OK whatever! Oh yeah, I got a mission for y’all.  Me ‘n Winston are gonna go lookin around for Pokemon who got lost and stuff during the blizzard.  Kay? Help us out! We can’t let Pokemon just sit around lost and cryin for their mommas.  Winston does enough crying as it is, we don’t need no more of that!
Ummmm... gosh darnit, I don’t know what’s su

EDIT4: COULD YOU PLEASE LINK YOUR APP HERE IN THIS JOURNAL? I WON'T LOOK AT ANYTHING ON MY PROFILE OR NOTES, THAT WON'T GIVE YOU HIGHER PRIORITIES. I'LL MAKE ARTS BASE ON THE ORDER ON THIS JOURNAL ONLY.

EDIT2: WRITING IS OKAY, IT'S STILL A KIND OF ARTS, DON'T YOU RECKON?

Hey PMD-E peeps, I realize I had never done this art trades things before. So, why not make it happen now, especially since we have to wait for mission 6 to commence.

If you do, show it to me and I'll draw yours. I'll probably paint with the style I use when I'm painting NPC suggestions. Also, if ever I get too overwhelmed, I thi

Event 6 - Temporal Terraforming“Oh man! You again!? I swear I was JUST HERE!” She looked at Devonshire sternly, as if she could somehow divine the answer she sought from his equally stern gaze. Her appearance in his office was not _totally_ uncalled for, she had been summoned by the blowing of the Thistle Whistle, an amazingly powerful (if not a bit mysterious) instrument that now lay safely in the possession of Arianna. While much more could be said about Arianna and the Thistle Whistle, that’s not relevant to the task soon to be on hand. It’s Jasmine we’re interested in.
“Ah, yes, you must be the girl Arianna mentioned! We were beginning to think you weren’t going to show, what with you taking so long.” Devonshire really didn’t know how she abruptly appeared in front of him, and didn’t much care. What he did care about was the fact that she had knocked over several papers he’d been meaning to look at, and it would take him upwa

A victory for Canterlot Gardens and for peaceI have spent the past half a year vigourously fighting against Canterlot Gardens with all my heart and all my being. It started with a wave of rumours and leaked documents, and I responded to this, my anger only getting worse with time. Most recently, a new wave of rumours and slander (the lie about me getting arrested at CG, when I wasn't even there) culminated in me actually starting a petition against CG.
The CG staffers have done terrible things to me— but they have ONLY done such terrible things to me. The thing is, I'm just one person. Their convention sounds like it was amazing, and 2000 people had themselves a great time there. I'm unwilling to continue fighting a group that makes so many people happy, regardless of how many nasty things they may do to me. In fact, I never should have fought them in the first place. To that end, I have already deleted the text of my petition against them, and I've requested change.org to remove the petition entirely.
I have lost dozens of

Mission 5 Reminder & Tumblr List

by ~michael2021, Feb 5, 2012, 6:57:30 PM
Journals / Personal

So hello!! I hope everyone remembered that when you're COMPLETELY done with your Mission 5 work that you send in a Group Note containing your:

1) Team Name
2) Guild
3) Application Link
4) Comic Page(s) Link [If it's properly connected, then you would only need to link the first/cover page!]
5) Additional information, such as teams that collaborated, not cameod. (Remember, if they didn't work with you, then it's not really a collaboration!)

Then I can properly log & organize your works into the proper folders and write your team(s) down so that they can be judged!!

Now...

Tumblr

I've noticed a great deal of our members have taken themselves up to make specific Tumblrs for their team. They even have really rad art! Radical!!

Unfortunately, it blows that it's hard to find each team's Tumblr. So I've taken myself up to making a Grand List of "Ask--" Tumblrs on a GoogleDocs Spreadsheet!

It's right here!

And I really need all your help in order to do this!!!I want you all to comment in this journal with your:

1) Teams Name (Yes I know you would use a singular Tumblr for multiple Teams)
2) The link to your Team(s) Tumblr

And if I didn't see your comment or anything, please don't be afraid to shoot off a Note to my general vicinity. This is my project, so I want to do this right. That big angry yellow note icon -will- grab my attention.

Thanks!!
