!!IMPORTANT!!

ATTENTION all current DateMe members! The club has now shifted to official "group" status here on DA. Thus, you will need to REjoin by clicking on the tab at the top of our main page that says "Join our Group." Otherwise, you're not an official "member" here.

Please remain on our watchlist for the time being. If it becomes unnecessary, we'll let you know.

**NOTE: Submission to contests has changed. We have enabled members to contribute to our gallery themselves. Thus, we ask anyone who wishes to participate in the contest to upload their own entry(ies). This will save everyone a lot of trouble; the staff will have less work and you, the members, will get faves on your own profile rather than ours. This month, we ask you to ONLY add deviations to the gallery folder labeled "12 December." Thank you.

As for previous deviations uploaded to the group, I'm sorry but they will not be removed and replaced with new copies at this time. It's a lot of tedious work and it seems rather unnecessary. Perhaps we will revisit the issue in the future, but for now everything stays as-is.

**EDIT: 12/23/09

I'd like to remind all of our contributing members that this group ONLY accepts contest submissions. Any other art/fiction that you'll find in our gallery is 1 ) related to the group (ie, prize sticker/pin designs, featured artwork for the year, etc) or 2 ) prize art/fiction. Members are only allowed to submit contest entries!

That said, we very much appreciate the gesture of donated artwork from our members and sincerely regret having to delete it from our archives. Even though we cannot accept it on the group, we fully intend to add all of this artwork to our favorites archive.

So sorry for the confusion...

Megami <3

The voting session will last between the 1st of December and the 7th, ending exactly at midnight, EST on the latter date. Just like the submission deadline, there is a six-hour extension to account for time zone differences. Thus, if you manage to submit your vote(s) by 6AM on November 8th, 2009 it (they) can still be counted. To vote, please respond to this journal entry.

We ask that you PLEASE submit a vote for both the fanart AND fanfiction sections of this contest. This is not a requirement, but we STRONGLY URGE you to show all of our contestants this courtesy.

You are NOT required to be a member of this group to vote. Simply reply to this journal as dictated above and your vote will be counted.

You only need to vote for ONE entry per section (ie, one fanart and/or one fanfiction submission). When voting, please indicate whether the entry is fanart or fanfiction and the title of the piece.

This probably doesn't need to be said, but we also ask that you do NOT vote for yourself.

Now that all of the necessities are out of the way, here's the list of entries for you to consider this month:



Love Harvest by ~megaminoeien
