| I took an unannounced hiatus from the internet, and I have to apologize for that, but I'm back now - just barely in time for the most brutal holiday event ever. I hope you folks are ready for it: Like the others, this is a community-wide (and beyond) event. I want to see stories, drawings, Deth-o-Lanterns, pictures of you douchebags in Dethklok-themed costumes, Dethcandy, ANYTHING YOUR SICK TWISTED MINDS CAN COME UP WITH. You have eleven days from the posting of this entry to get something in. GO GO GO. YOUR THEME: Halloween.* Duh. That can mean costumes, horror stories, any kind of spooky shit, or just something vaguely related like candy. This holiday is being dedicated to William Murderface, but he does not have to be in your submission at all. I just decided that every character should get a holiday dedicated to them, and it just so happens that Murderface got this one. If you don't think he deserved it, take it up with him. YOUR RULES: Ratings and subject matter are up to you and what you're personally comfortable with. Quality of work is also up to you, and how much effort you put in and your skill level. I don't judge. Seriously. I post any and all submissions, though if it's something that somehow insults another member of the fandom personally (unlikely, but possible I guess), then I will veto it. We don't like to hurt feelings here. *I will also except Día de los Muertos for the theme, even though I know it has nothing to do with Halloween. Just 'cause I think that'd be awesome. | ||||||||

| (Please read and spread this news around. ^.^) The general themes are summer and American Patriot. We want hot, sweaty guys. We want firecracker mishaps. We want stars and stripes. Red, white, and blue (bruises count). Chocolate chip Murdercookies! Make your own Murderkite! Cheap beer and apple pie! Anything along those lines! Let your imagination run wild; if involves Dethklok, it's golden. Art, fic (drabbles or ficlets only, please, for posting length reasons), icons, photographs of cosplay... anything appropriately themed and Dethklok-related will be accepted and praised. We are dedicating this holiday to Nathan Explosion, but he doesn't have to be the focal point of your piece. I repeat: This is Nathan's holiday, but he does NOT have to be your submission unless you want him to be. (Dedicating the holidays to main characters just seemed fair, since I plan for 6 holiday events a year, and there are 6 main characters, counting Ofdensen. Valentine's Day = Skwisgaar, St. Patrick's Day = Pickles, Syttende Mai = Toki, etc.) Like all of our past holiday events, submissions (and questions) can be emailed to me at: twilight_speaks@yahoo.com! The Due Date is JULY 23RD! I repeat, ALL SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE ON JULY 23RD at midnight (western pacific time). You can turn them in as early as you want, but no late submissions will be accepted. On July 24th, I'll post a mass post of all the submissions that were sent in and everyone can ogle and awe appropriately. This is the last holiday to tide us over until the Halloween Event in October, guys, so I hope that you can find a way to participate. If you know of anyone who'd like to play with us, point them our way! You do not have to be a member of Insanejournal or this comm to submit something to an event. (However, comm members do get special treatment from me simply because they're comm members, so if that's an incentive to join... well, please do! The more, the merrier. XD) I know where in a between-seasons slump, but spread the word, get excited, go forth and create, people! | ||||||||

| I promised you people a JULY EVENT, but since I'm not the only one who's gone a little quiet, I'm not sure anyone wants to participate in it. If you guys still want one, I was thinking an American Patriotic theme, due on the 13th (or 23rd). If you don't, then the holiday events will be going on hiatus until Halloween (when of course we will have our most BRUTAL HOLIDAY EVENT EVER, with a theme of DEATH and BLOOD and so forth). What do you guys want? I'll happily do up some summer heat submissions for July, and do a mass post on the 14th (or 24th) for people to enjoy. But I'll need help - a doodle, a drabble, a couple of 100x100 icons, even just a link so that other people know about it and participate, maybe? Anything along those lines would be aces. I just can't do it alone. /'.'\ So VOTE, KIDS! Do you want a Holiday Event to take place in July? I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK FOLKS - whether or not you're able to participate (so lurkers, don't be shy about sharing your opinions). | ||||||||

Click here to check it out! Leave comments! Thanks again to those of you who participated! Our next community holiday will be in July. I'm thinking a 4th of July theme, but maybe have it due on the 14th so that people have plenty of time to work on submissions? We're in brainstorm session right now, so let me know what you want to do/how you want to do it. Here are the ideas thus far: Central Character: Nathan Explosion or Charles Ofdensen or both? (Again, just like with every other holiday event, submissions won't have to revolve around the central theme or character. It's just helpful for people when they're coming up with ideas to have one, I think.) General Theme: American Patriotic. (CFO wearing a stars and stripes tie. Dethklok setting off fireworks. General Crozier on an American Flag background. Barbecues and apple pie. That sort of thing. Oh, and slash. Everything needs slash. Or het! Draw a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Explosion making out. I will post it.) Submitting Style: ??? How do you guys want to do this one? We can do it the way we have been and you can email me submissions, and I'll put them in one mass post for everyone. I can put a post up on the fourth and you guys can have until the fourteenth to put your submissions in the comments yourself. We can do a prompt list, we can do it anonymously, we can do it all kinds of ways. It's your comm as much as mine, so I'm open to suggestions. | ||||||||

| Ten days until all May Masquerade entries are due! Please see the post regarding syttende mai - everything's due on the 16th! Also WELCOME to the new members!!! I keep track of members through their introduction posts. Whether you're an author, artist, or lurker, I'd love to know who you are! The questions seem frivolous and fun (they are), but they're also useful for me to know favorite characters, popular pairings, and that sort of thing. I put up monthly birthday posts, and if you didn't post an introduction, I probably don't know your birthday. The introduction form is here: It's totally okay if you don't fill one out, but it's fun to do! I know I'm behind on adding stories and such to the memories. I hope to get everything sorted out soon. But I should be good on intros. If you have filled out an introduction and it is not listed here, let me know and I shall remedy it! | ||||||||

| Just two weeks (fourteen days) until the Syttende Mai entries are due! A huge thanks to the couple of things sent in already. After that, did you folks want to plan for something in early or mid July? | ||||||||

| I'm happy to see more stories getting posted here, although it's sad that dethslash.com seems to no longer be with us. However, I'm posting now to talk to you about syttende mai, or May 17th. It's Norwegian Constitution Day, so obviously a community holiday event is in order, right? I thought so, too!
Any questions? GO FORTH AND ASK!!! You shall be answered. | ||||||||||

| Thank you again to everyone who participated in St. Patrick's Day. It ended up being a lot better than I thought it would! We're going to take a break for April (please don't let that stop you from posting Dethklok-themed easter eggs or drawings of characters in bunny ears, though... all posts - discussion posts, fanfics, fanart, and anything else - are always welcome, so long as they're in some way related to our favorite band). The next Holiday Event will be in mid May! ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} nasasie suggested syttende mai, or Norwegian Constitution Day, and I really liked that idea. I thought we could do a "May Masquerade" for May 17th. Here's how it would work:Instead of doing a prompt or request list, we all have until May 17th to create artwork or fanfics that in some way involve Toki or his parents (or Norway in general - if you want to just draw Skwisgaar saying something disparaging about Norwegians, or whatever, that'd be fine, too). The submissions don't have to be about the holiday itself, they should just have something to do with a Norwegian. All submissions will be due on the 16th and posted anonymously on the 17th, after which people will have a week to guess who did what. At the end of the week (Saturday, the 22nd), there will be a reveal of who was responsible for what piece (unless for some reason someone wants to stay anonymous, in which case they can if they want to). Now, the method of posting would be up to you guys. Do you think I should post all of the submissions together, the way I did for Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day? The other options would be to post them over several individual posts, or to start a post that you guys would respond to, posting your submissions yourselves in the comments. Kind of like you would with an anonymous kink meme. I'm worried that might get confusing that way, though, and lead to some pieces being overlooked. What do you think? Suggestions? Better ideas? Let me know. ^.^ | ||||||||||

They will be posted in a mass post on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day. Submissions can be anything - drawings, fics (may have to be posted separately, if they are more than 500 words), icons, screencaps, pictures of cookies, yarn and glue projects... whatever your heart desires, so long as the end result is a virtual gift (something that can be emailed). Submissions do not have to correspond to specific prompts, those are merely anonymous requests and suggestions from others. Email all submissions to twilight_speaks@yahoo.com or link to them in a comment to this post (all comments will be screened, to make this one more of a surprise). If you have a request or prompt to add to the list, you can comment here, as well. The deadline for requests/prompts is Monday, March 9th. | ||||||||

| I know Valentine's day was yesterday, and our brains are probably still fried from that, but I wanted to get the ball rolling on this one early since we're going to be doing it a little differently. Here's the deal: This post is an anonymous request box. All comments are being screened. Do you have a St. Patrick's-themed image you'd like to see drawn? A favorite pairing that you'd like to read about having drunken, sloppy sex? A favorite character who you think should be picking four-leaf clovers and getting lucky? Any Irish (or Irish-American) suggestions, whatsoever? Well, then, make a St. Patrick's Request here! No matter how strange, perverse or silly - slash or non-slash. You won't be judged! At the end of the month, I will post a master list of these prompts for people to use as inspiration. On March 17th, I will make a collective post with everyone's St. Patrick's Day submissions. If you see your anonymous prompt answered, you can choose whether or not to speak up and claim it as yours or stay silent and just bask in the fact that it saw fruition. This will work similarly to the Valentine collection in that you do not have to make anything to get your request filled, but the more submissions we have the more awesome it'll look. By commenting here you are only offering prompts, and not committing yourself to anything. Feel free to submit as many suggestions as you want. No upper limit! (Green is my personal favorite color, and St. Patrick's Day happens to be in my birthday week, so I hope to see some greatness come out of this. Let's get brainstorming!) | ||||||||

| Valentine Suggestions: Drawings, drabbles or ficlets (say about 500 words or less), icons, screenshots, photoshopped screenshots, collages, a scan or photo of a construction paper heart with character names on it, macaroni murder ladies, basically whatever you want to make! Submission Rules: The end result should be a virtual gift - generic or user-specific. It can be as rough or as polished as you like. Stick figures are fine. A screencap of Murderface puking with the text "Happy Puke Day" (preferably in pink) is also fine. Funny, cutesy, sappy, pornographic... whatever you're moved to do. You can post your submission/s (or a link to your submission if you're keeping it off-site) yourself at any time between now and Valentine's day in a comment to this entry (so I don't miss it), or email it directly to me at twilight_speaks@yahoo.com. The due date is February 14th, 11:59 pm Pacific Time. I'll make a post of all the gifts collected together on Sunday, the 15th, at 12:00 am, my time. ( Community Member Requests and favorites, if you want to make specific valentines for any of our members or want pairing suggestions. ) For those of you who just want ideas for a general valentine that isn't for any specific member: The most common favorite pairings so far - Nathan and Toki, Nathan and Murderface, Toki and Skwisgaar The most common favorite characters - Nathan, then Murderface, with Toki, Skwisgaar and Charles tying for third, and poor Pickles in the rear. How did that happen? Or just do a valentine for your own favorite character or pairing. It's up to you! We'll take anything. XD | ||||||||

| Instead of doing a Valentine* exchange, I thought I'd just have it out in the open. Nobody is obligated to create Valentine* pictures or ficlets for anyone, but since it's coming up I thought I'd make a post for prompts. I have two questions to ask: 1. If you were to get a Valentine*, what would you want the theme of it to be? Do you have a favorite character or pairing? For instance, I like to get anything with Ofdensen. Specifically, Skwisgaar and Ofdensen. But Skwisgaar/Murderface is coming up to be a close second, as far as my pairings go. What are yours? 2. Assuming not everyone can draw or write fanfic (for whatever reason), what other Valentines* can we exchange? If anyone is willing to make a couple of pairing icons, for example, that would be pretty awesome. (And yes, I fully intend to make a Valentine of some sort for everyone who responds to this post. If you have the time, please feel free to do the same. XD ALSO: If you don't have time to do them for other people in the comm, then you can just make a Valentine for your own personal OTP or favorite Metalocalypse character. Actually, would you guys like that? I could make a general Valentine post when we get closer to the day, for people to respond to. Or you could all send your Valentines to my email and I'll post them on the 14th all in a big post. Or... whatever you guys think. XD) *I know that not everyone likes Valentine's day. Some people actively hate it. SO, if that's the case, you can feel free to use the term "Fuckings Day" or whatever to replace it. | ||||||||

| Hey, guys! I'm not sure what's up with IJ lately, but there's been a wee bit of trouble with some of the asylum invites. If you need me to invite you to this comm manually, you can let me know in an email (twilight_speaks@yahoo.com) or on AIM (twilightspeaks). I usually respond to both pretty quickly. Also, to make this an official community-related post, I'll say this: You can go ahead and introduce yourself on the comm if you want to let people know who you are (even if you don't consider yourself an artist or author). I'll steal from another community I'm part of and give you a sample form you can use if you like: Name/Nickname: Age/Birthday: (optional of course) Sex: (also optional) How long have you been a fan of the show? Who is your favorite Metalocalypse character? How about pairing? Are you a fanfic author, artist or beta-reader? Or something else entirely? Where else can we find you, or where else might we know you from? Random info: (Whatever you want!) ( Here's mine. :) ) There you go, easy as pie. Just tag your introductions with "introduction." ^.^ I will not promise that you will get something special for telling the comm the day and month of your birthday (you can omit year if you're shy about age). But... it certainly wouldn't hurt, would it? I thought it might be fun to know, anyway. | ||||||||||

| This is just for people who aren't familiar with terms like "drabble" and "ficlet." I tend to use the harder definitions, which are as follows: Drabble - A piece of fiction that is 100 words, exactly. Exactly 100 words. A half drabble is 50 words. A drabble and a half is 150 words, and so forth. Using terms like "double drabble" or "triple drabble" to indicate 200 or 300-word stories is cool. I would also probably refer to stories that are under 100 words as a "drabble" even if they didn't quite meet the 100 word limit, though. So if you want to call a 74-word story a drabble, I'm sure nobody will argue. Ficlet - Also known as "short short" or "flash fiction", this would be a story that less than 1,000 words. Since nobody can agree on what these terms mean (whether a short short is 500 or less, and flash fiction is 500-1000 or vice versa), then I figure they're all interchangeable. Short story - 1,000 to 15,000 words. Novella - 15,000 to 40,000 words. Or "novelette" if you prefer. Novel - 40,000+ words. | ||||||||
