Hey kids, Plums here! I know this is a wee bit late (a few days oops :x), but here is the past week's Top 5! Unfortunately, there were not that many entries this week, but those that did enter were pretty fantastic! Anyway, enough of my rambles and onto the four winners, plus a runner up from last week: This Week's Judge(s): Plums 1. Kingdom Hearts - A Beautiful Lie [Beta Wars] Kingdom Hearts - A Beautiful Lie [Beta Wars] Submitted by: Lea Song: A Beautiful Lie by 30 Seconds to Mars Details: I really liked the editing you did here! The scenes you showed during Roxas' headache part captured to mood of the song well, and I especially liked the big flash out at the end. Link: http://kh-vids.net/media/kingdom-hearts-a-beautiful-lie-beta-wars.215/ 2. Kingdom Hearts AMV - Xehanort Submitted by: cwf123 Song: Made of Stone by Evanescence Details: I thought the song was very fitting for Xehanort, but the video seemed to take the spotlight away from him for a chunk for Sora & co. Still really liked it overall, though. Link: http://kh-vids.net/media/kingdom-hearts-amv-xehanort.212/ 3. Kingdom Hearts - Our Truth [Beta Wars] Submitted by: Lea Song: Our Truth by Lacuna Coil Details: I thought the TV Simulator was used a tad bit too much here, but the video still came out really great. Link: http://kh-vids.net/media/kingdom-hearts-our-truth-beta-wars.216/ 4. Hold On to Your Hearts Submitted by: Cloud4012 Song: All Around Me by Flyleaf Details: The color overlays kind of took away from the effect of the video on me (and I thought the zoom was used a tad bit too much), but this was also very good. Link: http://kh-vids.net/media/hold-on-to-your-hearts.217/ Runner Up: A Gentlemen's Con; KH Submitted by: AntiSora Song: A Gentlemen's Coup - Rise Against Details: This video did many things I liked, from the rhythmic build up with appropriate scenes to the good use of video editing techniwques. A special touch was the use of KH dialogue during the song as well, which fit very well and was well used with the song. Overall good effort and good execution! Link: http://kh-vids.net/media/a-gentlemans-con-kh.206/ Congratulations to all who placed this week! Haven't placed yet? Don't give up! Your video certainly was not bad, and you may place in a future week.
HEY KIDS. I am proud to announce that the Writing Contests you loved to see us cry over, are finally back in town. However, there have been quite a few changes done to them! Furthermore, there is currently a poll for the PotS (Prose of the Season) contest. You only have a few days to vote, so get to it! You may also participate in any of the Cafe Sessions, discussions on the elements of reading and writing put up every two weeks! As you can see, this is a pretty busy month for you Nookettes, and the party is just getting warmed up! For more information, please read the following threads: Writing Contests [PotS & PanS] Prose of the Season: Poll #1 - NaNoWriMo Prose of the Season Ideas Thread Poetic ars nova Season Ideas Thread Cafe Session #5 - Plot and be sure to check out our Reading & Writing Forum Family, Literate Beans! Thanks everyone and hope to see you there!
Hey kids! With the growing participation in Cafe Sessions and general participation in the Nook increasing (with the 10th Anniversary and KHV Musical), your humble hosts of this event decided we'd try it out again! However, this time it's going to be a wee bit different. Rather than make the thread and hope for people to enter, Claw, Star, Chev and I decided we'd let you guys choose when you want to hold a PotS/PanS contest. This gives more power to you, the community, as you get to choose when these events happen and when they don't. This also allows us to more accurately judge what people would like to do more, rather than try out things with few successes. Just vote "Yes" or "No" in the poll above. It closes Saturday, November 17th. For those curious, the topic of this PotS will be: NaNoWriMo
Well, since PotS and PanS haven't really been getting too much activity, they may get kick started more if you, the denizens of KHV, submitted themes instead of relying on the INFINITE WISDOM of Claw and I Cat~. did i mention INFINITE Anyway, this is pretty much going to work like the SotW and the Traditional Art of the Month ideas threads. Post an idea here, and it will be used in a future contest. Go forth, my children. Please Note: Only post ideas for future Prose of the Season contests here.

V e r s i o n | D e u x Hey all! I know some have been wondering where PotS and PanS have went in the past couple of months (well, at least Claw and I have), and after much deliberation, we have brought it back to the forums, however, with a new twist. As the contests seemed to be getting less and less activity, both PotS and Pans shall now be conducted on an On Demand Basis. This means that you, the frequenters of the Nook, will decide when you would wish to participate. Essentially, you decide when the events take place, which offers members a chance to run the show, in a sense. Ideally, to hold a session of PotS/PanS, we are looking for 5 Yeses in a thread that will be put in a separate stickied thread. From there, we will hold the contests, and continue from the voting phase each month (or however frequently you want them). Furthermore, there is a Literature group brewing (get it because it’s like a coffee shop) in the Forum Families section, which will be host to many members and deal with other events pertaining both to the Writer’s Nook and Literature sections, so be sure to check it out! Remember, the activity of the Nook relies on everyone, not a certain person or group. So let’s ban together and show them how it’s done! (Behind our monitors, of course) » FAQ « Overview Participating Judging » What is PotS? PotS stands for "Prose of the Season" and it's what the new short story of the month contests will be called. This new name is supposed to emphasize the revamping of how the contest will be held, and will have different durations than only a month. It will also have new ways to test your creativity. It will revolutionize the themes used, and its main goal is to help exercise the mind with more challenging, different, but fun ways of writing. » What is PanS? PanS stands for "Poetic ars nova Season" this will be new name for the poetry contests which were once held in the creativity corner. Its new name hopes to reflect the new direction it will take. Where it'll make broader use of the poetic creative medium, and thus help explore and teach the members new methods, as well as make them enjoy poetry in new ways, while expanding their knowledge of how to execute poetry and conveying emotions through it. » What's up with the names? Chev thinks they're catchy and fun~(And so do we kukuku) » Okay, so what can I do? Hmm...well, you can partake in the contests, as each thread will be posted and given due date. Or you could help out with the contest itself, by either running a round, suggesting an activity for the round, or judging. » What can I do if I want to do any of these? EnteringYou only post in the thread for that round.JudgingIf you'd like to try judging or recommend someone, please message Clawtooth or Plums explaining why you'd like to assist in judging or why you feel another person should help judge that round. We will also approach people who are regularly active in the section ourselves. » What do you mean by activity? Well, the names PotS and PanS encompass many things, so the activity for the round doesn't necessarily have to be writing a story, or a poem. In that sense, it allows for a broad range of creative things to do with writing. If you have a suggestion for an activity for a round, then post it in either the PotS Suggestion thread or the PanS suggestion thread. » How long will these things last? Well, normally you'd expect for them to last a month or so. However, depending on the activity, it could be faster or slower. So from 1-3 months tops. We don't want to drag it on, however. So, it stands to mention that the longer lasting activities have to be really special. » What will I win? Well, there's obviously Pins involved, so you'd be getting a pin. Pins are still in the works, but we’ll get them out to you as soon as we can manage to do so. Hang in there troopers! » Criteria « Entries will be judged on these aspects CreativtyHow well you manage the activity given, and how uniquely and interesting you make itPresentationHow well is the product presented and edited. Did you have spelling/Grammar mistakes? Is the spacing and dividing awkward?ControlHow well you manage literary methods and techniques to deliver the best product possible Questions/Concerns Please send a message to Clawtooth and/or Plums and we'll be glad to answer you! We look forward to bringing these events back, and even more so to see what you guys have in store!

★ KH-Vids: The Musical ★MAIN THREAD (x)Phase One: Plotting (x)Phase Two: Character Recommendations (x)Phase Two: Logo (x) ★ What Is This? ⬊ The KHV Musical is a site-wide collaboration that will be worked on over the course of the next year. The project will bring together various creative sections of KH-Vids and will ultimately result in an actual musical that will be released to the public September 2013. The musical will feature original artwork, original music and lyrics and an original screenplay. It will be showcasing the various voice talents of our very own KH-Vids members, and there will be auditions held for parts starting in May! The musical will be compiled in the Visual Novel software Ren'Py, and there will also be a watchable Youtube version, and perhaps a Livestream of the play-through at some point. The estimated run time is 45 minutes to an hour, or so, but there is not fixed time. ★ Timeline ⬊ Late September - October: Characters, Setting, Story/Plot - COMPLETED November - December: Screenplay, Logo January - February: Concept and Character Art. March - April: Music & Lyrics May: Casting June: Audio Production //Singing July - August: Production ★ Phase 2:⬊ As seen from the above Timeline, this thread is dedicated to the Screenplay of the Musical. In this thread, we will continue developing the winning Plot of the recent poll held, which was Jayn's idea. NOTE: While we are encouraging a broad spectrum of ideas, I must urge that you work within the realm of reason. Unfortunately, ideas to the scale of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann may not be the best type of narrative for a musical, much less one that can fit within the deadline for the musical. So Screenplay? For this stage of the project, we're going to be taking the characters, setting, plot -- overall, the entirety of the universe established in Jayn's plot and converting it into a Screenplay. Screenplays are the formats used by television shows, movies and plays, and give the actors their lines as well as cues for certain expressions and/or movements on the stage. Fortunately for everyone here, as this is a digital production, you don’t need to memorize stage directions or lines. In fact, you guys don’t have to put the Screenplay together! That is where Jayn and Plums come in you racists. We’ll be compiling the final screenplay to use as reference for when we begin to code the Visual Novel for release. Remember, the more you get done here, the less work we’ll have to do to get this project playable and ready for launch! If you want a reference for what the Screenplay will look like, check the following spoiler below. Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Furthermore, if you do wish to join the writing, you must be sure you can maintain a consistent presence throughout this process. Jayn and I will be hunting you down if you begin to flake out (without good reason). We understand that school and real life definitely take priority, but for a project like this to get done, you need to try to at least put in as much a consistent effort as possible. Worse comes to worse, Jayn and I will finish writing the script ourselves, which is something both of us want to avoid lmao. If you have any questions, please ask Plums and/or Jayn and we will gladly assist. Specifications Stuff Needed ✿ Main Character Roles (see HERE for more details) ✿ Misc.

is a poop congrats bby
A year without a thr- oh wait B( Anyway, I have to leave for class till about 6, so this will be short. I had a brief fling with a friend over the summer (tl;dr only a kiss) and then they stopped talking to me for a month or two. I was a bit "wow what the shlit????" and then asked her why last month or so. She said it was because I kind of latched onto her and she felt out of control of the whole thing. And that hit me kind of hard? I was really bad at handling my emotions around 12-14 (aren't we all), and it just felt like a giant regression on my part. Now I just feel really uneasy approaching any type of friendship feelings. I live on campus for school, and in the two and a half months I've been here, I haven't made any good friends. I have people who I'll talk to when I see them, but I don't feel anything really lasting. It's really lonely and some days I just wake up and don't feel like getting up at all, which is really bad for my schoolwork as well. I've joined clubs and all, but haven't gone lately because making friends is super hard. It was the same way in high school, but my only real friend group was my closest friends, so I think I may also be setting the bar way too high for others. Pretty much I'm hesitant in making new friends because I just really doubt relationships of any sort right now.
