Thank you, EVERYONE, for participating, whether you contributed a fanwork or supported us with comments! We love you, and there's no other way to say it: dxk_festival was a huge success, and your enthusiasm and encouragement were appreciated to no end - we honestly couldn't do this without you. So again, thank you. :)

A few general fandom announcements:

Be on the lookout for the new userinfo at diexkaorulove, which will include new community guidelines and updates on the DxK network. We'll definitely be needing feedback on some decisions regarding a few particular LJ communities within the network (basically, we're considering integrating them back into diexkaorulove), and we'd love to hear what you think!

deg_remix is debuting its first series of remixed fics in about a month, during the first week of February, so also keep an eye out for that, if you're interested!

And as always, the DiexKaoru Love Fanfiction Archive is always open for submissions; we encourage you to submit your works, and if we get enough entries from this community, we'll be sure to make a specific category for "DxK Festival 2006"! Help is always needed - so let us know if you'd be interested in working on the archive with us, because that would be amazing. :)

So this is a new year - the Festival ends for 2006, but we hope you'll be coming back for more in 2007! See you then!


Much love,
Moderators decadentrebel, prelude_to_ruin, and civilized_era

Huge apologies for the lack of comments and follow-ups from us mods; civilized_era is currently out of town and has no access to the internet, prelude_to_ruin has an unavoidable RL issue, and my internet connection has been severely bogged down because of the Taiwan earthquake.

I'd just like to announce that even though the last week of the festival is already finished, all late entries for any of the weeks can be posted on January 1-2, 2006. So if you have a late entry, don't fret, it's still eligible to be posted for the festival. :)

This is a very lame closing e-mail for the festival, I know, a better one coming soon. Until then, Happy New Year to everybody! :D

ok, for this week I submit a little animation youhouuuuu!!!
It's my first animation (ok, I' did some before but not as long as this one) *proud, proud*
I did all the draw with my little hand and, even if I started this in October, I did the major part this two past week XD
the animation is based on a song I listened when I was a little girl XD (so I think I can put it in this song fic week)
mmhh... even if sometimes the draw are ugly (because I drew them bad or because I zoomed and the pic became more pixelized (and because I changed the file from avi to mpg, some pic became more ugly) I can call it a cute thing (well everytime I saw it I just thinks "so cuuuuuute" XD)
btw I'm so happy to have finish it in the time and post it there youhouuuuu ^o^

this is the megaupload link to uplaod it http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SMHOSQME
and the yousendit link: http://download.yousendit.com/81561CCD66D0F9B7
enjoy ^o^
it's not a big file but I think it take around 30 minute to uploade it (as it took around 30 minute for me to put it on megauploade)
if you want I uploade it on another place (yousendit, sendspaces...) tell me ^^

and like the song is in french, I put a little (and bad) translation of the lyrics under the cut

( the bad translationCollapse )
