5-26-05: So it took longer than I expected. But. Voting is up. Now I have to work on Royal Guard awards. Speaking of contest judging, I'm attempting to recruit a panel to help me out with the Fantasy Character judging. If you'd like to help - and did not enter yourself - please email or tag with your address right away. (You'd only be committing yourself to this one contest, though I may recruit a more permanent panel later.)

5-11-05: Most Fantasy Character entries are up. If yours isn't, you should have received an email from me. (If you didn't, I missed your entry somehow and you'll need to send it again.) In general, I did not reply to entries unless I had a question or problem of some sort. Voting will start when I get the last details straightened out.

5-7-05: I'm extremely behind. I imagine you've noticed. I'm catching up, I swear.

4-13-05: New sprite bases! Also, voting has begun for the Royal Guard contest. Make a Pattern awards should be up soon - I just need to sort a few things out first.

4-9-05: And now for something special... Sarah and I are holding a fantasy character contest that we think is pretty spiffy.

4-5-05: Oooh... aaah... I guess I'll admit my new doll was worth it, but it took way too long. I also put up several contest entries.

4-1-05: An actual doll! Also, I updated my character gallery with several pretty dolls.

3-29-05: Make a Pattern is now voting. I think I'll be caught up with requests sometime in the next year.

3-28-05: I'm caught up on contests. Make a Pattern will start voting either tomorrow or when I hear back from a contestant, whichever comes first. Pattern entries won't go up until voting starts, but everything else is up.

3-27-05: Happy Easter! I made a bunch of blinkies. You may detect a theme. Catching up on contest entries is going to take a while. (It would help if people read the rules thoroughly.) On that subject, what I really want for the Royal Guard contest is a explanation of the outfit and how it fits with the kingdom.

3-19-05: I'm starting a new series of contests. For the first, create a Royal Guard.

3-16-05: Several contest entries. If yours isn't up, and you sent it before today, there must have been some sort of problem, and you should check your email and get back to me. I'll be going out of town in a couple of days, so I may be slow to respond to mail. Never fear, I'll get to it eventually.

3-11-05: If you're entering my pattern contest, please pay attention to the size and file requirements. Thank you.

3-7-05: "Dolling" for lazy people: open a year and a half old GIMP file, and fix it as much as possible without actually doing much. I almost feel productive. Of course, that could be because I put up some new patterns, and started a pattern making contest (detect a theme?). I think pattern making is pretty easy, but if you're really hopeless and need pointers or a tutorial, please let me know.

3-2-05: Sprite the doll awards! Also one new doll (a much belated request) and a gift sprite. New contest coming as soon as I finish the page for it.

2-26-05: Long time no see. I hope to have contest awards soon, because I want to start a new one. What happened to February?

2-15-05: I started a new survey, which I think is pretty cool. Also I updated awards and my character gallery, which was rather out of date. I'm on such a roll I might even start Sprite the Doll awards. But more likely I'll go to bed. An entirely unseasonal warm spell has sent my mold allergy into high gear, bleh.

2-13-05: Creative Color awards! Later I'll update awards and gifts and such.

2-12-05: I think I was my own 20,000th visitor. How funny is that? If I owe you a request, you could be my hero (and get it sooner) if you kindly reminded me what I'm supposed to do. I have the info somewhere, but my records are all messed up. (Still no contest results. I know, it's sad. Not my fault, for once.)

2-8-05: Both contests are waiting for awards. Voting is over, but I haven't received judging results yet. A new contest is in order, and I'll have one up soon. I've been catching up on forum duties. While you're waiting, check out my contest calendar for cool contests to enter. :)

2-3-05: Put up some awards and a new doll for a contest. Speaking of contests, if you're holding one I recommend Monsum's Judging Panel. I've had useful results myself, and of course I think some of the judges are pretty spiffy. ;)

While I'm recommending things, if you're in the mood for a forum, why don't you pay a visit to Dolls Online? It's very friendly, with lots to do, but not so much that it's overwhelming. Except maybe when you're three weeks behind with moderating duties. Ahem.

1-31-05: Sprite the Doll is now voting. If I made any mistakes, please let me know right away. In honor of catching up with one thing, at least, here's a really delightful bumper sticker. It's my first ever Random Bumper Sticker, and I'll admit it's pretty darn random.

1-30-05: I've put up all the Sprite the Doll entries, but voting will be a bit delayed. Please check and make sure your entry is up. What with all the files and people involved, it's gotten rather confusing.

1-24-05: Winter Fantasy awards. I know, it's something of a shock.

1-23-05: Beginning to catch up. I started Creative Color voting and put up a bunch of Sprite the Doll entries. Other stuff coming soon.

1-13-05: New contest: Sprite the Doll. The others I'm preparing need more work. In the meantime, I put up Creative Color entries and new awards, and realized I should have started awards for Winter Fantasy. Oops.

1-11-05: Another new doll, and some contest entries. Just for the record, the hair can be whatever color you like. While I was at it, I put up a couple of awards I received.

1-7-05: Sword Dancer awards! Also an new award for me, and an entry in my new contest.

1-4-05: One new doll. She was extremely experimental, but lots of fun.

1-3-05: Happy New Year! For site news, that means a new update log. Yay. I've also started a new color contest. Sword Dancer awards are coming soon.
