Hello to all of you in InterWeb Land.
Nice weather, huh? I think it's brisk!

Oh right, the....idea~


Well, Known to VERY few of you, I just got a web-cam and I plan to make my first broadcast tomorrow on Youtube at: [link]

The thing is, I do not have a clear topic to talk about. I do have a slight attention-span problem, so I need to have some kind of topic to return to if I wonder off on a tangent.

So? Any ideas? Nothing about politics since I really could care less on that topic. I love animals, maybe that could be one. Hmm...I'll just put up a poll and see what is the popular vite by tomorrow afternoon.

If you want me to shout out at you, say so in a comment below!


...Yes, you are all about to see the Multi-talented Maru-sha....LIVE!
Break out the happy-snacks~!

THE POOL IS CLOSED!!

Fan Favorite Poll Winners:
1st:
2nd:
3rd:

Judging: COMPLETE

All of the entries really sparked my love of crack and/or fluff. But only these three of the seven entries stood out from the rest!

Be proud of yourself everyone! This has been a wild rife of a contest and sadly, the finally loop is here.

There is ONE winner per category:
Best Crack
Best Fluff
Best of Both Worlds (Crack and Fluff)

+++++++++

The WINNERS!!

BEST Crack:
- (NagatoXMaru, KisameXNagato CRACK)
--
Seriously...SERIOUSLY?!! What the hell as the artist snorting when they thought this up? THIS is what true crack is. Unexpected and disturbing hilarity. No one else used the pairing of NagatoXAnyone in the whole contest, making this stand out and be on top. All the other pairings were interesting or even predictable. This artist thought outside of the virtual box and created a piece that makes me laugh and creeps me out to the fullest. First place can go to no one else but


BEST Fluff:
- (DeixSaso fluff. MaruxKarla fluff + OC)
--
The cuteness...the sheer cuteness of this entry alone shot it up the ranks. The pairing is predictable, yet done in a fluffy manner. I can't ever see Sasori being THAT nice to Deidara, making this SLIGHTLY cracky, but it falls more into the fluff area. Congratulations on Second place,

Best of Both Words:
- (Jashin, Dana, Hidan, Maru CRACK/FLUFF)
--
This decision was hard. It was all left up to Originality. Never has there been an entry based on a real conversation entered in a contest I've had with someone here on DA. It takes real creativity to re-enact a totally cracked out situation in a drawing. The art itself isn't high, but it's far better than I can do and the idea behind it all is the real crack. Third place goes to you,

Runner-Ups (Honorable mention)
- (KisaxMaru crack/fluff)
- (DeixKisaxTobi fluff/crack)
Gawd I wanted to give these guys something, but my words of praise are going to have to do. Very cute ideas were used to their potential, but were either too much like the rest or used a character I had seen in the contest once too many to really be excited about it any further. Still these entries have a place in my heart and I hope they bring their A-game to the next contest, whenever that may be.

Thank you to ALL who participated! I am a writer of my word and this was a HARD contest to judge! So much crack and fluff.
I hope you all had fun with your entries and hope you do stop by for the next contest in the future. Until then, Sayonara!

Get in your last minute entries ASAP! If you need more time, please note me and I'll be the judge of if I want to postpone this anymore.

This time a around the theme is: Crack and Fluff

For this contest, the entries that will be qualified must contain Crack or Fluff!!

For those who do not know (noobs...):
Crack - situations that WOULD NOT happen regularly. This can be a pairing or just two or more characters doing something that just would never really happen!
examples:
[link]
[link]

Fluff - situations with two characters really expressing their love for one another in large or copious amounts.
examples:
[link]
[link]

Characters up for Cracking or Fluffing out:
Must be "Akatsuki Daze" or "My Jashin" related.
This includes...
Pein
Konan
Tobi
Kakuzu
Hidan
Zetsu
Kisame
Maru
Deidara
Itachi
Nanako
Sasori
Karla
Kabuto
Orochimaru
Sasuke
Tsuande
Jashin (as he appears here:[link])

-

Be creative, be random, be IMAGINATIVE~! There will be a point system used based on how cracky or fluffy your submissions are. There's a plus if you have BOTH a crack and fluff setup! One point extra will be added if Maru or Karla are used.

=====================
Rules:
------
Everyone hates rules, but these have to be addressed.

0) This is an Akatsuki Daze and My Jashin based contest! Make sure your submission follows somewhere along the lines of the initial fan-fic. Do you see Naruto or Sakura in Akatsuki Daze or My Jashin? No? Then they really shouldn't be in your entry unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary or they are only mentioned.

1) If you are doing a drawing, no nudity... This is a contest for all ages. It can be ecchi, but not hentai. Got it? Good.

2) If you submit a work of prose, have a field-day with it. This is a contrast for those who just want to submit something hentai and rule 1 only hinders them.

3) You can add Maru or Karla if need be. They're not original Akatsuki members to begin with, but your work will be kicked up a point if they do happen to be in your submission.

4) If you're writing or making a picture, it MUST contain this one simple thing. A swim-suit. As long as the item is named in the story and is used in some way, the story passes. (NO LONGER VALID!!)

5) Limit 3 submissions per person.

6) ALL THE RULES ABOVE MUST BE FOLLOWED OR YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE PUT IN THE TRASH-BIN

Optional:
7)You may use your own OC in any fashion, be it fic-wise or in a drawing!
==============================
PRIZES!

WOOT! There are prizes!!

1st prize - Three month subscription to deivantART and your OC entered into a future chapter of Akatsuki Daze: Quiz and Pop.

2nd prize - One month subscription to deviantART

3rd prize - your OC entered into a future chapter of Akatsuki Daze: Quiz and Pop.

There you have it, you many enter a fluff drawing or fic, a hentai crack or fluff fic, or a crack/fluff drawing or fic. Heck, if you somehow get all of them into your entry, consider yourself almost guaranteed a prize.

REMEMBER: ALL ENTRIES DO NOT HAVE TO CONTAIN THE KEY ITEM: A SWIMSUIT!

Contest ends: September 26th
Contest begins: five minutes ago
