	art is allowed but you said no icons/banners. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	By art we mean original art that you create yourself, no a recomposition of previously produced materials. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I recently created a new LJ solely for things I write so they wouldn't get cluttered up with my personal life entries. I am currently doing the challenge of Envy/Winry Rockbell from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, and I was wondering if it would be too much trouble to change the claimer from this account to the other? If so I understand, if not thank you--and here is my new account. ^^

	You said that art is allowed, and I'm sure this is a stupid question, but does that include doujinshi? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Hello,

I just wanted to clear up my pairing. I write Ginny/Draco for Harry Potter but when I updated recently, I was told there is someone new writing my pairing. I've been really careful about reading the drop lists and such, and when I just now went back through them, my name/pairing has never been on them. Yet, the claimed list now lists the new writer as the current writer.

Have I missed something? Please let me know if I need to delete my newest entry or not, and who gets to continue writing.

Thank you

	After some research, we discovered that the fault is ours entirely. Apparently your claim was deleted by mistake. I apologize for the inconvience but the only fair result of this is that you both continue writing for the pairing. You won't share the pairing, just work independently of each other. I hope that's okay and I apologize again for the problems. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Would it be alright to include poems at the end of each story? Not original poems, but poems by other people that remind you of the theme and/or the story? You'd include their name in the disclaimer, right? Not sure... -Thanks. You guys do a great job. I -heart- this community. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kissesmods 2006-04-10 01:10 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you :) And yes, it's fine so long as there is original content preceeding it. And yes please, make sure that there is an indication of who the actual author is whether in the disclaimer or at the end of the poem its. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ah, sorry I forgot to leave a clarification for where the extensions page went. We only put it up when we're close to purge time so the next one is June 1st and you should be fine. Sorry for the confusion, I'll go fix that right now. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	kissesmods 2006-04-27 11:44 am UTC (link)

Hiya there! I've heard a lot about 30 kisses, and thought it was cool, but I'm lazy so I never bother joining anything. XD Anyway, the other day at school, some of my friends were talking about it, and we decided we wanted to do something like that, but on our own time. So we made up our own list of 30 themes and chose subjects.
Here's my question: Would it be like, degrading everything you stand for or mortally offending you or something if we do this? Can I post my stories on Fanfiction.net as long as I put that it is our own original list? Or would you hire the FBI to seek us out and have us disposed of? o_O

LOL. No no, not the FBI. The CIA on the other hand...

150_comms is a good example of how many communities have spun off from ideas like 30 kisses and fanfic100. It's not unheard of to do something like this and at least from my perspective, it's great! I mean, we don't own the idea, we just like to think that we are the caretakers of this set of themes, who are in truth someone from Japan's to begin with (I think...). The fact that you made your own list of themes means you are very creative, completely independent from us and free to do as you please. No secret or overt government services will be involved.

Good luck! And if you ever feel like you want to expand into a LJ comm like this one, don't forget to drop a note in our ad box.

	Ok, so, I have two claims. If I cross them over and use that (probably quite long) fic to count for a theme in each, is that cool? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kissesmods 2006-05-15 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Hmmm... I've never encountered this. I would say yes but I'll check with the others mods first. Give me a couple of days and I'll get back with a final answer. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Okay. I do have a ficjournal --> precarious_ink which is where I'll be putting my challenges in. The thing is, I want to go by this current username (private journal) but the links I'll be placing will direct them to my fic journal, is that okay? Or do I have to switch names?

	Okay, I have a question. Because I am indecisive and just a little greedy, there are two couples I want to write, but they're from the same fandom. I know I can't have them both at the same time. However... once I'm done with one, could I come back and claim the other if no one else has? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hi. I was very confused by #4 so I asked a friend of mine who's learning Japanese to translate the original Japanese, and he told me it means "The distance between us and reciprocation." Um, can I just use that as the interpretation? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: #4 kissesmods 2006-05-19 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	The interpretation of the theme itself is really up to the writer. If you want to read it that, it's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent)

hi! i just joined the community but i haven't decided if i want to write a fic just yet. in any case, i was wondering, who was the first one to come up with 30 kisses anyway? i'm not talking about the comm (is this the first ever comm of 30 kisses btw?). i mean, i think 30 kisses is a cool idea! whoever came up with it is really good! i'm just curious to who thought it up. :D

	The original creator came from Japan and the website is here :http://biwakko.sub.jp/. It was first adopted and translated by [Bad username: emilychan"] and has since been kept going by a dedicate group of mods and an ever growing population of fan fic writers. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

hi! sorry for the constant questions. anyway, i was just wondering, when you write the fic, do you have to include the theme in the story?

uh... i don't think it's too clear. i'll try and give an example:

say the theme is #1 look over here, so when you write the story, does there have to be a part in it that says:

"this guy calls out to her 'look over here!' and she turns around..."

or another example would be:

"and he looks over here while he thinks i'm not looking..."

basically, my point is, do the exact words have to come out in the story itself?

~syv

p.s. i hope you understood what i was trying to point out.

kissesmods

I think I understand.

You don't have the use the exact phrase, but you have to use the idea present by it.

So in your example, "look over there", you could say:

"this guy calls out to her 'look over here!' and she turns around..."

Or you could have the idea of the phrase

"The guy sits on his chair and sees the sun setting behind her. He smiles and point, directing her head to turn to look at the horizon."

So the ideas is there, even if the phrase is not. Some people make this the center of their entry. Others kind of mention it in passing. If you want a better idea, you can look at the archives for that theme to see how other people have used it.

Hall of Fame Page

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a [...] [...]>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Okay, this is going to sound totally random and stupid, and I just know I'm going to bop myself on the head for this, but does the Hall of Fame page look odd to anyone except me? When I clicked it, I saw this:

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a [...] http://community.livejournal.com/hirumamo/10568.html#cutid1">') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.] And then the raw html.

Now, I got worried, because that's MY pairing. O_o I was like: "Uh oh...I screwed up the Hall of Fame with my stupidity!!!!"

Now, no one's brought it up, so maybe it's just me... O.o I just want to make sure.

^^ Sorry!

Okay, I think i am in th right spot here...I was hoping not to post here for I was hoping to fix the problem, but this week has been totally bad for me...Our computer decided to hate me this week, so, I am uncertain how, but my pairings I have Malik IshtarxYami of Yu-Gi-Oh and Riza HawkeyexWinry Rockbell of Fullmetal Alchemist pairings all the fics got deleted and I couldn't remember where I left off, so, I was hoping to fix those problems before June, but I've also been busy helpin' my mom (she's having dental surgery this Saturday) and lookin'for a new job...And I just feel like crawling in a hole and just crying...

Sorry to ramble on like that, but I am willing to give up my 2 pairings, coz, there is just no way I can do 30 fics for each of them...Stupid computer *mumbles at the comp* I am so sorry. They were done too and I was gonna post the rest this week...My pairings again are as followed.
