I sort of disappeared and went on hiatus without announcing it.

Although I'm sure nobody's noticed, so it's fine. I felt like I should apologise anyway.

Anyway, maybe I'm back? It depends on how I feel.

It seems some things have changed around here while I've been away, so I'll have to get used to those.

Well, I'll get right onto replies and things!

Oh and while I'm here, I think I have a few Lolita watchers, so here's my most recent sales post on the egl_comm_sales. I need the money since I'm finishing college on friday and can't rely on EMA anymore while I'm still searching for a job ^^; I have my Innocent World JSK up for sale real cheap!

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I updated on the project. (Actually, have I ever?)

Well anyway, I just don’t want it to be forgotten. I’ve had tons of messages about it and over a hundred people interested in taking part, but so far I only have 17 submissions: ten fanarts, six letters and a poem. And it’s already from an impressive amount of places: Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Italy, the UK, the US, Vietnam, Australia, Portugal, Finland, Canada, Malaysia and the Netherlands. This is just amazing to see, seriously!

BUT… I’m still not satisfied. We need a big, big, big book to send over to him, to show him the whole world is supporting him. The final deadline is March 15th, so just over ten days away. Please, please hurry and send in your submission if you want it to be included in the fanbook.

And I’ve had absolutely no video submissions! If it’s really not a popular idea, I won’t include it. I just thought it would be nice for him to see some of his fans from all over the world. Wouldn’t it be amazing for him to see people of so many different races and cultures and languages as fans of him? Even if he can’t understand what you’re saying, he can still see the support you’re showing through your body language in a video. Just a thought ^^

Also, I’ve had someone ask me before if they could help out financially. It never even crossed my mind to ask anyone to help in this way before—it was just my silly little idea for my idol’s birthday to begin with. And yes, it will cost a lot to print the book and then send it over to Korea. But it’s a project that’s really close to my heart, so I was just going to deal with that myself. But if anyone is really kind enough to want to help out, then you’re by all means welcome to—my paypal address is the same as the submission e-mail address (which you still have to ask me privately for: tumblr ask box or deviant art note). No donation is too small, but please don’t feel obliged.

Anyway, I hope you’ve all been having fun with this project. The submissions I’ve had so far have been so lovely and heart-warming. I have so much respect for you guys.

Please don’t forget to reblog this and spread the word!

And here is the original project post for any of you who missed it (:

I’ve been thinking for a while that I’d like to organise a fan project for SHINee’s Kim Jonghyun’s birthday. Internationally, it's his 21st next and I’d like to send him something special from all his international fans.

So I propose a book. A book filled with fan art and letters for our dear Bling Bling Jonghyun. And a compilation of videos with messages for him.

I want to send not only a gift to celebrate his brithday, but also a gift of encouragement. I want to let him know that there are so many of us outside of Korea who appreciate and support him no matter what. You don't need to worry yourselves with organising anything like printing or putting it all together or sending it off, I'll have all of that covered.


Interested?

Before I tell you how to submit, here are some rules guidelines.

Fan art

• Must be your own work—please do not submit someone else’s art and claim it as your own.
• Similarly, please do not submit someone else’s work even if you aren’t claiming it as yours—unless they have given you express permission.
• No photographs, edited or not. Unless it is an imaginative Photoshop manipulation, I will reject it. I just believe they don’t show much thought having gone into it as a gift, especially considering none of us know him personally for it to have a special meaning for him.
• Nothing including pairings (i.e. Jongkey, Jongsica, etc.)

Letters

• Do not use any swear words/profanities.
• No innuendos or sexual references of any sort.
• No outright—or subtle—abuse, especially pertaining to Shin Sekyung and/or his relationship with her. (In fact, best not to even mention her at all—their relationship may not last forever and we want this gift to be something he’ll be able to look back over for years and years to come without bringing back any possible bad memories.*)
• No general fangirling either. (Or fanboying, whatever~)
• If not in English, please provide a translation for me so that I can check if it is appropriate (or find somebody who can).

Video message

• Same basic rules apply for this as for the letters, but include no nudity, porn or anything else of a sexual nature; no violence.
• Clips must be no more than 1:00min in length.
• Be original! This is your chance to show your support in any visual way you can think of!


Remember, any of these are optional. You can submit just a piece of art, or just a letter, or just a video, or two options or all three! Also, there isn’t really a limit on the amount of fan art you can send (although, obviously if it gets a little too much I’ll have to tell you to stop now please ^^), but please only one letter and one video per person.

When you’re ready, drop me a message somewhere (tumblr, deviantART, livejournal) and I’ll send you my e-mail address in a private message in return. You can then submit everything via e-mail to me. Please include your name (or a penname) and your location (just the country is fine) with your submission.

I will not reject any submission, unless it breaks any of the rules above or any obvious ones that I may have missed. If I do reject it, I will let you know. You may be able to tweak it and resubmit.
This project is not limited only to Blingers, but is open to all Shawols and fans of S.M. The Ballad too!

Deadline for submissions is March 15th, but if you can, please try to get yours in earlier. I don't want a mad tsunami of things being sent right at the very end, if we can help it.



Well that’s all I think! Phew!

So go on, go spread the news and point everyone back to this post! (Also, let’s see if we can find any male fans to get involved…)

Have fun~!


*Although I say not to mention Shin Sekyung, even in support, this project has been partly influenced by all the negative attention their relationship has received since it was made public (whether you believed it or not). This, plus his injured ankle and therefore inability to perform fully with the rest of SHINee. While Jjong has been continuously reassuring us that he is happy and always upbeat, there’s no doubt the negativity will affect him in some form, no matter how little he shows it. This project is really to lift his spirits and show him how much we all still love him, no matter what the very loud but very small minority say.

♥ Blew my first ever bubble with gum on Thursday! Been doing it ever since. My photography tutor congratulated me on it today =^ o ^=

♥ Managed to finished all my work before all my three deadlines in one week. Or make that four if you count the contextual studies essay seperate from the sketchbook. Which I do.

♥ Actually made a present and got a card for my sister BEFORE HER BIRTHDAY. Now I just need to SEND IT TOMORROW so that it gets to the other side of the world before Sunday!

♥ Got better at blowing bubbles.

♥ Learnt how to say "I'm scratching my room's floor" in Korean.

♥ Actually started work at the beginning of the new contextual studies unit. (READ: Actually started the new contextual studies work before the deadline.)

♥ Made a new pair of earrings for myself.

♥ Got myself a bag with a band motif printed (because I've run out of awesome bags & no band that I like sells bags as merch T__T)

♥ Gots myself new hair! Oh yes. I love. This is the first time a hairdresser has cut my hair right according to a picture. BIG KUDOS TO HIM!

And finally...

And I will not stop until I've finished.

Really, I've had four weeks off college that I could have done this in, but, as usual, I've left it to the last minute again. Study day with Niamh didn't work out. She's not a good influence anymore, she's baaaaad. Pah.

So I've told myself I'm not allowed to finish the drawing I started yesterday until I've completed this essay. I'm not even allowed to touch it. Look at it.
