There will be an unusual amount of L pics just for a short while.  I'd searched for L, and submitted some of my faves to the club - when we submit art done by others, it sends a note to the artist and they can either allow it in the club, or deny it. If you're a club mod, the easiest way to submit is to visit your collection, and then click and drag the thumbnail. Instead of "faves" being the first collection, you can submit to your clubs in the first or second collection. Quick and easy! (for everyone else, you'll have to visit our gallery, click "add to this gallery" with "existing deviation", and search your faves for it.  ) So enjoy the L goodness! ^-^ 
And I don't know how it works!  (but it's exciting!  ) Er, crap... they've deleted the devID info, so I have no idea who said they could help the club. XD Please write your name again? Thanks! ^^ XDDDD Go to either # hq or # devBUG for instructions on how to convert the group you own (not just mod. )  ALSO...  if you have submitted a deviation in a note, the notes are all gone. So please submit it again, but NOT in a note! I think... click on our gallery, and submit your art that way. And... this is very belated, and I apologise, but the lovely = Dishrag has very generously donated her prizes from our competition! [link]Because of this, I'm going to blog about her. (she didn't ask for anything) She's very talented, and her gallery will prove that.  (and she's also doing very cheap commissions - if you haven't had a commission before, I recommend you start with her! Her work is pro! And it will probably be worth something someday!  ) Get an original dishrag! 
Apologies for delay - demands in my life have absolutely skyrocketed. I had counted votes here and there over a few days - some of you might have received 'thanks' notes to their vote and wondered what happened. Anyway, thanks for your understanding.
The votes were actually very spread-out. ^^ That means that there were a lot of good entries that people could enjoy! And regardless of placing, each entry made the contest more fun. Entries were collected here: [link] Thank you again. 
WINNERS (there actually were more which were kinda close, but I think we'll stick to the top 5. I hope everyone who entered had fun! )

Well, it's that time of year again. (L's birthday approaching - 31st Oct)
Other contests-
- "L's Birthday - what would Matt give L as a present? " - deadline November 7th. [link]
- "Draw Mello and Matt in matching Halloween costumes" - deadline November 8th. [link]
- " 'Trick or Treat', your mission will be to demonstrate the Wammy Boys having fun during the Halloween festivities." - deadline November 30th. [link]
But back to our contest - since it's halloween, it's perfect to dress L up! 
What you need to do is comment and say you want to enter on this journal. ^^ One person per character, and you don't know what you'll get! I'll reveal what characters or things correspond to that number, and you have to dress L up in that costume. ^^ I don't know the order of the list yet - I'll write them on pieces of paper so it's random! So that means you don't know what you're going to get, but I'll try to make them fun so hopefully you'll find it interesting. ^^
You can have as much fun as you want with this! ^^ Doesn't have to be an entirely accurate representation, and doesn't have to be a halloween setting. Could be anything!
Rules:
Only one person per character. If you finish yours, you may comment that you'll enter again - and I'll tell you what the character is again so it's a surprise!
New art only.
Can have other characters interacting with L as well, but it's got to include L in the costume you were assigned.
Type of entry - anything. Drawing, painting, cosplay photo, story, etc.
Church-of-L members only (it's 'just watch to join', and we want you to receive updates! )
Please make the note title 'contest' when you send in your entry to distinguish it from other submissions. If we have permission to upload, we'll upload during the next submission run. 
Deadline: October 31st
Prizes: Er... *tumbleweeds* Prize donations welcome! (art, features, subby, etc.)

This is for members who would like to announce something - be it commissions, competitions, selling something, anything!  If you want your announcements posted on your submissions as well, just put the message you want in the note with your submission. ^^ Will do major updates when things are added.
