Okay, this is the beginning of a small series of altpov!fics. Takes place between parts two and three of Mina de Malfois and the Young Blood. Please ignore this if it's that bad. *somehow doubts this will be declared mock-canon like other fanfics do*

( beneath the cut )

Hey guys,

The Mina page and all my hosted sites will be down, I don't know when yet but I'm switching host companies (from Neureal to their parent company EMC) and I have to re-upload everything myself so I'm giving everyone a heads up.

I'll be doing a complete backup of everything today before I change over, so nothing *should* be lost.

Please bear with me during this time, it has been quite a long time since I had to do this.

Thanks,
-Jillian/Sapph

New t3h_poker fic up. Now with annotations; just hover your mouse over the underlined text.

I just wanted to let people know that there will be a new Pseuicide Game on my LJ tomorrow starting at 9 AM EST (New York time zone).
For those who don't know what it is, basically I post something really wanky and people are free to get as absurdly upset about it as they want. We've already played this game twice: I commited pseuicide and posted a controversial article. Great fun was had by all.
The rules for the game are here.

I just realised it has been awhile since I made any Mina icons. Any requests? =D

Also, it has finally arrived! Volume 2 in paperback! And the Velveteen Rabbit quote from Seasonal Goodwill has made it into the shops.

Just to let everyone know, if no entries are received by midnight the contest deadline will be extended to November 23rd. With voting starting on November 24th.

So if you just heard about the contest you have some more time to work with.

Hello fair ladies and historical-dressed gentlemen,

mdmfans is running an art contest! Tis quite simple really, draw Mina! (And any other Minaverse people, places, etc you want.) The winner is all chosen by mdmfans members and the winner gets their design featured in the MDMFans CafePress shoppe!

The contest is open now and without further ado, the rules...

CONTEST RULES
1. The closing date for the contest is Wednesday, November 14th, 2007. Entries must be received before midnight on that day. (Central Standard Time)
2. The design you submit must follow the Image Guidelines below to be eligible.
3. You may enter the contest as many times as you like, but remember we are looking for quality, not quantity.
4. Please link to your art here on this entry. (Some good places for free graphics uploading is Photobucket and DeviantArt)
5. The winning design will be chosen by voting on the mdmfans community, after the contest has ended. Voting will start November 15th, 2007 and run through November 19th, 2007.
6. The winner of the contest will have to be willing to share temporary copyright with mdmfans, so that the design can be used for products and sold. We will make sure that you are given full credit as the artist, and recommend putting a discreet signature somewhere on your image.
6a. The artist just needs to share copyright, because otherwise according to CafePress' rules that would be stealing if the picture got used without permission/sharing of temporary copy rights just for CafePress... mdmfans would have no other copy rights over the art.

IMAGE GUIDELINES

(Please note: Guidelines 1-5 are part of Cafe Press' User Agreement. Please read through this agreement, just to be certain there are no problems later.)

1. The image should measure approximately 2100 x 3225 minimum, with a resolution no greater than 300 dpi, and no lower than 100 dpi.
2. Your image should be submitted in either .jpg or .png format.
3. Images must not use any copyrighted or commercial characters.
4. Your pictures cannot be sexually suggestive, racist or abusive.
5. Entries cannot depict the use of alcohol, drugs or cigarettes.
6. Obviously, all images must be entirely your own work.
7. The pictures can include anything from Minaverse, but it is required that Mina is in the picture.


Please feel free to ask any questions!

No, it isn't the Volume 2 book yet. But the Volume 1 items have been moved to their own shop so the main shop can have Volume 2 items when they become available. But also two quotes from the series are on shirts, crazy people called fandom, fandom forecast, and supressed psychosis quotes.

Also a poll, below.

( The Cafe Press product list )

Poll #1073153 What is your favorite Mina de Malfois series' quote?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 2

With the quote shops, do you want other items available besides shirts?

If you answered yes to #3, what items? (List available in the main entry)

P.S. Could mutecornett get in touch with me, please?

mdmfans is now backed up on JF, here. I wasn't able to post anyone else's posts, but you can back up any of your own important MDMFans posts to the JF comm. All the discussion entries are there now. =)
