edited the first post with the entries!

haha, i forgot that i made the deadline MONDAY and not Halloween. i was all ready to yell at the lack of submissions and rage rage rage. that being said, TODAY IS THE LAST DAY FOR SUBMISSIONS. push through those hangovers and candy comas, and ENTER!

Bumping the threadddd also, a little more than a week until the deadline for entries!!!!! xoxo bonzai

So I just came off of deviantART, where they changed the website to wear purple in remembrance of teens who have lost their lives to anti-LGBT bullying. And in contrast, it's pretty sad to see the state of affairs here. Having a community run TF2 server means we get to determine the kind of environment we want to have for our players. I think that environment should be non-discriminatory. Discrimination based on race, sex, religion, or sexual orientation shouldn't be ignored. I don't want to have a debate with people about context or the definition of the word "gay." We all know that it is frequently used as an insult, and as such implies that homosexuality is wrong. I know you probably don't go through that thought process when you throw around the word, but that is still what you are implying with your use of it. Choosing not to be offended by it, claiming to be desensitized to the word -- those are pretty big indicators of how LGBT-discrimination has become so accepted that we don't even bat an eyelash at it. And that's really sad. So I'd really like to know if what Rambo posted earlier about the MOTD and our server rules is true.

FAQ What is the Fan Art Competition? The Fan Art Competition is a monthly event where artists create some form of art based on a certain theme. What is the theme? The theme is decided by the winner of the previous months competition (most of the time) and must be video game related. Who can submit art? Anyone. What are my restrictions? You are allowed to submit one entry, but other than that there are no restrictions. There are no size, quality, image size restrictions. Who decides the winner? The OCR community. Anyone who wants to vote, can vote. How does voting work? You vote for your three favorite entries, from first to third. These entries are given points based on the order in which you voted for them in. For example, 1st. Rambo 2nd. bonzai 3rd. Nyuura In this case, Rambo would get 3 points, bonzai would get 2, and Nyuura would get 1 (although Nyuura gets three most of the time). When and how do we see the results? After the voting period is over, I'll announce the winner and show the tallied scores for all entries. If I enter the contest can I vote? Yes, and voting for yourself is allowed if you really want to. Rules and Regulations! 1) Any art submitted must be based off of the months theme. 2) No nudity. 3) Your entry must be created within the month. It cannot have been something you've created in the past or partially finished prior to the announcement of the theme. 4) All entries must be 100% your work. Simply altering something created by someone else may be cool, but is not allowed as an entry. -------------------------- List of Previous Competitions FAC 39: Favorite Side Quest FAC 38: Video Game Babes FAC 37: Squeenix FAC 36: Boss Month FAC 35: Body Swap FAC 34: Role Reversal FAC 33: Free For All FAC 32: Revamped FAC 31: Video Game Remix Art FAC 30: Steam Punk FAC 29: WTF FAC 28: Sega vs. Nintendo FAC 27: Panzer Dragoon Series FAC 26: Marvel vs. Capcom FAC 25: Blizzard Games FAC 24: LucasArts Adventure Games FAC 23: Heroes as Villains FAC 22: Creatures FAC 21: Femme Fatales FAC 20: A Final Fantasy Christmas FAC 19: Ultimate Power FAC 18: Sidekicks FAC 17: Mecha FAC 16: Zombies FAC 15: Weapons FAC 14: Boss Month FAC 14: Chrono Series FAC 13: Konami FAC 12: Super Mario Bros.

a friendly reminder that the deadline for submitting entries is a little over a week away! hope everyone's hard at work! :3

I believe the theme is pretty open ended; any game, any character, just has to relate somehow to a side quest. Get creative! I'm hoping not everyone is deterred by the theme, as it makes me sadfaced: ;______________; I also am thinking of a very hated side quest. Very...very hated. gahhhhhh
