Here is a Time Zone Converter.

• Authors are allowed to have a proxy, as long as the proxy has all the needed information to make a claim; username, email, prompt number(s).


• Authors are allowed to have up to five choices on the form.


• Please use the blue prompt number found on the lower right-hand side of the art slide, which is the same prompt number found on the top of the following slide with the art's information.

If you have any other questions about claims, please feel free to comment on this post, DM or email me.

I thought aesthetics & mood boards weren’t allowed? There are definitely two there that fit that description? Yet you rejected art that was done just like those???

If that’s the case then mine need to be allowed in, or at least slide #41 (prompt #20) has to be rejected as well.

Fair’s fair & clearly it wasn’t done fairly!

Mood boards and aesthetics aren't allowed. I see no prompts that follow into that category.

The one that you are attacking is hand-drawn and in a comic book style.

The prompts you submitted were a hand full of unedited photo images boxed together with a border around them. I fail to see how you googling for three images and just boxing them together in a photo app is the same as someone drawing images and then displaying them in a story like a manner.

If you had done any editing, other than color, to the images and then decided to display them in a comic book style, you would have been good. But you only edited maybe and then put a border on it.

First of all, I’m not ATTACKING the art. I’m pointing out what you pointed out to me based on YOUR guidelines. So let’s get that straight! I NEVER called into question the art! Yet, my “googled art” as you call it was submitted in the exact same style. That’s what I was POINTING out. So how is one fine, yet the other isn’t? Oh, right it’s up to your guidelines. And I continued to contact you, yet you didn’t respond.

How is a hand-drawn comic stripe the same as what you submitted?

And I did respond to you. I don't know what you want me to say from that last email. You cried about not being able to afford photoshop. I get it, but there are other FREE good photo programs out there, such as GIMP. I am sorry I made you cry. I already told you, if you had submitted prompts like you did last year for the J2RB, I would have taken them. The edit you did to the image after I rejected it the first time was not acceptable.

The other image that I think you are upset about, is two images in WIP that were put into the same file for submission. Which is FINE for claims, since they will finish them by posting. I have always taken WIP.

You don’t seem to understand I’m not asking about the actual art! I’m making a comment on the style!!! All you had to do was point out that YOU viewed it as a comic strip. Yet you’re claiming that I attacked the art.

I can’t believe that you had the nerve to bring out something from an email between us to this. I would never do that to you.

You never stated that you would accept a WIP. But, I’m glad to know how you feel about me & my art. Let’s just pray that other artists never find out your true feelings about them or their art.

It's all about the art! There is a clear difference between a comic stripe and a mood board. You are the one demanding that it be REMOVED or that I should disregard the rules and accepted yours.

You are the one that BROUGHT up the emails and my "lack" of response to you. Since you brought it up, IN A PUBLIC FORUM, I answered you.

When asked, I have always accepted them. Normally I state it in the group email I normally put out around submission time. Though this year I did not send it out since I had most of the art well before the deadline. I only sent it out to the few people I was missing. I just checked and you are correct in stating that it wasn't on LiveJournal page. I will rectify that and make sure it is clearly stated in the rules.

I won't even touch that last comment. I'm sorry you are upset and I am sorry this didn't go the way you wanted. I am done with this and would just like to move on.

Bringing up that you stopped responding is completely different from bring out what was in an email.

Yes, you’re right, enough time has been spent on this. Since I’ve decided not to be a part of this challenge, now or in the future, we can happily go our separate ways.
