First, because I know that's what everyone's here for:

GARY OAK'S BIRTHDAY CONTEST WILL END NOVEMBER 21ST AT 11:59PM!

Please have your entries in by then: preferably, I'd like them linked to this journal or the previous one in their description, if possible. In order to submit them for judging, send me a note marked 'GARY OAK B-DAY PLZ' with the link to the submission included.

Reminders:

-Gary himself doesn't have to be in it: the theme just needs to be his birthday. Make that clear!

-Try to steer clear of +18 work: there are people who want to see your work that are under 18. Don't give more underage people reasons to lie about their age.

-Last entries due by 11:59pm November 21st, Eastern Time. No exceptions.

-Winner will be announced the following day, November 22nd, at an undetermined time. Be sure to celebrate the glorious day of Oak that day!

-Funny = Bonus Points

-Crap = Fail

I'll be posting up something by then, myself. Also, for those of you that have noticed, Gary himself's been making some comments of his own in my posts concerning him.

(So that means you BEST all be getting me good presents.)>

So far, the contestants are:

Wish them all luck! If you still wish to enter the contest, please let me know. I will edit this list for more competitors should they choose to join. Please note that you MUST let me know before submitting a piece for this contest if you wish to participate.

Good luck to everyone!

Now for a little inside look on me.

(No one cares about your stupid flu.)>

YOU should, considering without me, you have no birthday contest.

(Point taken. Carry on, then. *coughloosercough* )>

...Anyway...from the 10th up to the 16th, I had the flu. I had JUST gotten the Swine Flu vaccine the week before, and, of course, when I was waiting for the waiting period to get the regular Flu vaccine, I caught...the regular Flu.

Go figure.

I was sent home, due to being contagious, and spent the entire time back in Delaware. Sorry, everyone. I'm back now.

Also, this coming weekend is NOT ONLY Gary's birthday, but also the weekend of Anime USA, which I'm going to. I'll post up the results when I can, therefore, to the contest. I'll be going as Pence, since my Gary Oak costume is currently made of much fail and my Ash one is along those lines, itself. Although if anyone has any green gloves, that'd be great. -flail-

That's about it! Smell ya later!

(Hey! You can't just run around stealing my lines!)>

Oh, sorry. My bad. Why don't you say it, then?

(I will! Smell ya later!)>
