Now I'm all curious to see what Ryona's drawing! Very Happy

Me, too. Ryona, you had better show us all when you're done. ^^_^^

How many of you plan to enter the Ghost writing contest?

by Ragter the junior greeter Sat Sep 26, 2009 2:43 pm

...

I already entered it Kathryn Neutral

by **Kalon Ordona II** Sat Sep 26, 2009 3:20 pm

There seem to be quite a few interested parties. Nod

Quite a few more than the last contest. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the entries! Very Happy

by **Kathryn Lacey** Sun Sep 27, 2009 2:12 am

Yeah. I'm actually considering entering just to enter... I don't actually want to win because I have no idea what I would have commissioned if I did win, but it would be fun just to see if I have what it takes. ^^_^^;;

by Guest Sun Sep 27, 2009 3:47 am

I'm definitely going to try to enter...but that depends on me mustering the motivation to write something up for it. I have an idea, but the last time I tried to write it, the story didn't really turn out like I wanted so I gave up. Maybe this time things will go smoother.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Sun Sep 27, 2009 4:02 am

Maybe this time you'll have better motivation, too?

by Guest Sun Sep 27, 2009 4:12 am

Not much chance of that... but we'll see.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Sun Sep 27, 2009 4:46 am

Well, of course there isn't going to be much of a chance with that attitude. :: shakes head ::

I'm actually really excited about my idea. I have a beginning and an end and my catalyst, but now... I like... need to figure out the body. XD

by **Gadreille** Sun Sep 27, 2009 11:20 am

If you use your elf dress as inspiration, it will give you one hell of a body!

-ba doom tsh-

yea...I'm really tired... Razz

I'd like to get some of my art up on the site, but then again, I've been saying this for the longest time. Truth be told, I f***ing hate my scanner, and it takes a long time to turn on my old ass computer, then my printer, scan something, save it onto a jump drive, shut down the fossil PC, and then come back to my laptop and download it

by Kædai Sun Sep 27, 2009 12:40 pm

Sounds like me. I'm just too lazy to put forth the effort of scanning random drawings and then emailing them and then going to my laptop and then opening the pic the saving it then putting it up on photobucket then distributing said pic to the masses.

I'd rather sleep. =D

by Guest Sun Sep 27, 2009 12:46 pm

Yeah...I just let my wife take care of all of that unnecessary work. Of course, we only have one computer to work with, instead of two.

by Ragter the junior greeter Sun Sep 27, 2009 1:52 pm

I don't even have a scanner..

by **Kalon Ordona II** Sun Sep 27, 2009 10:29 pm

I guess I'm lucky to have a scanner? Laughing

And a machine that works smoothly? Laughing

Although, I do have to go back to Windows 98 every time I want to scan something.
At least it's on the same computer and I don't have to wait very long.

People who don't have a scanner: just take pictures of the art. This is the internet; I'm sure you can find tons of tips on how to do it properly. Then once you've got the pictures you can fix them up in photoshop or some photomanipulative ( Laughing

) program and upload it to us! xD

Honestly, my elf dress wouldn't fit within my story anywhere at all. It's sad, but true. It's the future and elves are of the past. =3

I usually just use my camera to transfer pictures from there to my computer, but I wish I had a scanner. It would be so much easier.

by Ragter the junior greeter Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:18 pm

...

you can transfer pictures from a camera to a computer?

by Guest Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:33 pm

Digital cameras yes. But you already knew that. I mean...how couldn't you?

by **Fate Flyer** Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:34 pm

by **Kathryn Lacey** Mon Sep 28, 2009 9:43 pm

Ragter's already proven he's not the brightest Crayon in the box. There's nothing we can do about that. =3

by **Kalon Ordona II** Tue Sep 29, 2009 7:59 pm

I thought all cameras were digital these days. Laughing

Especially with cellphones and things.

by Guest Wed Sep 30, 2009 2:19 am

There are still disposable cameras. And journalists prefer old-style film cameras a lot of the time.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Wed Sep 30, 2009 2:49 pm

Yes, but most people use digital cameras. They're better.

by Ragter the junior greeter Wed Sep 30, 2009 6:33 pm

Not really Kalon, the camera in Quarantine wasn't digital, so ha!

...I was kidding Smile

by **Kalon Ordona II** Thu Oct 01, 2009 12:09 am

Aha! Well, I do find it odd that many digital cameras take so very long to actually snap the shot, whereas older cameras seemed to do it in an instant. What with shutter speeds and all.

Maybe the digital camera I sometimes borrow isn't very advanced? Laughing

by Guest Thu Oct 01, 2009 3:38 am

Digital cameras focus a lot on getting a good picture, rather than forcing the user to do it themselves. They have to find the target, focus on the target, and adjust the lighting, on top of everything else the handler is making it do.

With older cameras, that is all done before the button is pressed to take the picture. Now, most of it is done between the time you press the button and the camera takes the picture. So, yes, it takes a bit longer, but it also makes it easier for the photographer.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:44 am

Here, here! I love digital cameras. I get such nice pictures from them. I don't mind the slow capture rate. ^^_^^

by Lucian 'The Wolf' Harth Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:23 am

Jeezuz it has been far too long.... Unfortunately it seems that my staff position has been stripped, but I understand why and there are no hard feelings.

NOW THEN!

All that is out of the way, so I just wanted to make one simple announcement to all the old, and I'm sure all the new, members of this wonderful site that is FOG.

-Ahem-

Lucian.
Is.
Back.
