Hello everyone!

The 2013 SxS Group Collage Activity has officially come to a close! Thank you so much for all the participants of this activity! I'm sure we'll be able to make an awesome collage out of all your wonderful work!

I'm pretty busy with other life's commitment at the moment, so it may take me some time to work on the collage, but I hope you will patiently wait for it. I will make an announcement when the collage is up. I will also feature participants on my page this weekend.

If you think you can make an amazing collage, send me a note and we can consider having you design our collage instead.

Again, thank you everyone and have a wonderful day!

Thank you!
:heart: TrulyTuyet

2. Fanart may only include Sakura and Syaoran, no other characters are allowed.
3. Fanart can be in any kind of medium (traditional, digital, etc.) but it must be colored. If you use traditional, please make sure the colors are dark enough to be noticed.
4. Fanart must be new and created specifically for this activity. (In other words, your work must be submitted on or after the start date of this activity).
5. Sakura and Syaoran will the main focus so please make them somewhat large in your fanart.
6. You must be a member to participate. Admins are also allowed to participate. If you are just a watcher and would like to participate in this activity, you must join as a member. To join, simply go to the Home page, click on "Join Our Group," and send the request. You will be automatically accepted.
7. You may edit and change the fanart you have submitted before the deadline if you wish but only until the deadline. You MUST contact the group if you decide to switch your fanart with another one so we can make that arrangement.



:heart: ~*~ :star: HOW TO ENTER :star: ~*~ :heart:

Submit your fanart to your gallery and put down in your Artist's Comment that your deviation is for the ccs-sakura-x-syaoran 2013 Group Collage Activity. Then contribute your fanart to the 2013 SxS Collage Activity Folder.


:heart: ~*~ :star: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PARTICIPATE? :star: ~*~ :heart:

Once we've received all the wonderful fanart contributions by the activity deadline, we will work to combine them all into a collage. By February 4, 2013, we will display the completed collage on the group's homepage for the entire year and feature every participant's work in a journal in celebration of a New Year! You will be given credit in the Artist's Comment, of course, and have the nice, fluttering feeling that you've contributed to the group. :meow:

Hello everyone!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our very first SxS Week!!! You guys are amazing! :love: We hope you enjoyed it. I know I did, seeing all the wonderful work you've all done for Sakura and Syaoran!

Now, to keep our folders to a minimum, we will move all the SxS Week works into one collective folder, 2012 SxS Week and you are all welcome to continue submitting works for the Week to this folder. We'll leave a list of the themes on the left side description in the folder, so you can always refer to it if you would still like to submit your work for the Week. :aww: Because the SxS Week is over, like we mentioned before, submissions for this week will now be subject to vote by the admins.

Also, I'd like to continue featuring work for any submissions for this event, so I'll do my best to keep up with that. If I happen to be lagging behind, feel free to note me or the group. :aww:

Thank you again for a wonderful SxS Week everyone! We'll try to get to starting the new Collage Event soon!

SXS WEEK 2012 INFORMATION


Want to take part in our very first ever SxS WEEK?!!! I hope so, because this is going to be one week you won't want to miss!

What is this SxS Week? Well, it is seven days jam packed with fanart, fanfic, cosplay photos, and other artistic media dedicated solely to Sakura and Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura! Each day is a different theme, which has been suggested by you, the members, and finalized by your admin team! Now, before we get to the themes, let's talk about the rules. (Yes, I know, there are rules...)



:heart: ~*~ :star: DATES AND TIMES :star: ~*~ :heart:


:bulletpink: SxS Week will be running from September 9, 2012 to September 15, 2012 September 10, 2012 to September 16, 2012
so you have little over a month to work on your deviations.

:bulletgreen: Folders for each theme will be unlocked for submissions at approximately 12:01 AM EST (9:01 PM PST) each day for the corresponding theme, so you cannot submit to these folders until after it has opened. Only submissions made specifically for SxS Week are allowed in these folders. All other deviations must be submitted to the group's general folders.

:bulletpink: We will post a blog entry for each day to announce the theme and the opening of the folders.




:heart: ~*~ :star: GENERAL RULES :star: ~*~ :heart:



:bulletpink: ALL ADMINS and MEMBERS are allowed to participate; you MUST be a MEMBER to participate and submit your work.

:bulletgreen: Do NOT submit deviations onto deviatART (Youtube, or any other hosting site you are using for your submissions) before the announced date. Any deviations that are submitted before the announced date will be declined or taken out of the folder. You can, however, resubmit your deviation on the appropriate day.
(NOTE: You can work on your deviation and finish it before the set date but you CANNOT submit it on the site until it is the day of the theme.)

:bulletpink: You may submit fanart, fanfic, fan videos, fan comics, cosplay, crafts, sculptures, etc, as long as it is your OWN ORIGINAL work, the main focus is Sakura and Syaoran from Cardcaptor  Sakura (no TRC SxS), and it does NOT violate any Group Rules.

:bulletgreen: Please note that we do not accept "screenshots, official artwork from a video game, scans from an art book, or any other source material which is considered the legal property of another person" to be submitted to the group, "UNLESS you have obtain written permission from the proper and legal owner of the work you used."

:bulletpink: For videos, you may submit in one of three ways:
1. You can link your video on the group journal entry when we submit a journal entry for the theme.
2. Provide the link to your video or embed your video on your own journal entry (I'm not quite sure how this is done, but I've seen it done before) and submit your journal entry to the proper folder.
3. Take a screencap of your video, submit it as a deviation with a link to your video in the artist's comment, and submit it to the proper folder.

:bulletgreen: Please title and tag your deviations appropriately so we know that your deviation is submitted especially for SxS Week. (For instance, for Day 1, you can title your deviation as: SxS Week: Day 1 - Theme).

:bulletpink: You can still submit your work after the announced day for the theme. We will not close it off. However, as mentioned so many times in this journal already, DO NOT submit before the day for the theme.

:bulletgreen: For now, submissions to the SxS folders will be automatically approved when the folders open on the appropriate days. However, we will monitor and remove any submissions not intended to be in the folder. If we see many unintended submission in the folder, we will revert to submissions subject to vote, which may delay the process. Submissions made to the folders after the week is over will be subject to vote.

:bulletpink: Spread the word and have fun!



:heart: ~*~ :star: SXS WEEK 2012 THEMES :star: ~*~ :heart:


Now, here are your themes for SxS Week 2012!

DAY 1: Monochrome
DAY 2 - Chibi
DAY 3 - Zodiac
DAY 4 - Crossover (excluding CLAMP-related crossover)
DAY 5 - Distance Between
DAY 6: Hearing your voice
DAY 7: Better than Ever


:bulletpink: Now, you don't have to follow the themes exactly. In other words, you don't have to stick with the dictionary definitions. This SxS Week is meant to get your creativity and imagination juices flowing, so feel free to interpret the theme and create your deviation however you like. It's all up to you!

:bulletgreen: For Day 4: Crossover, we will not be allowing crossovers of any other CLAMP-related work, since it has been done many times, even by CLAMP themselves! Thus, we will only accept non-CLAMP-related crossovers. Also, this will be the only day we will accept characters from other series, as this is a group solely dedicated to the CCS and Sakura and Syaoran.

Definition:
Monochrome (n): 1. a painting or drawing in different shades of a single color. 2. the art or technique of producing such a painting or drawing. 3. the state or condition of being painted, decorated, etc., in shades of a single color.




:heart: ~*~ :star: FEATURES :star: ~*~ :heart:

We will attempt to do a random feature for each theme everyday in our feature folder. As submissions are posted in the corresponding folders, we will copy them to the feature folder as we are available. Please be patient with us. Thank you!


:heart: ~*~ :star: QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? :star: ~*~ :heart:

Rules are subject to change before the SxS Week. We will announce the changes when this occurs. Questions or concerns? Please contact the club via note or comment. You may also contact me, TrulyTuyet directly via note. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

Thank you to everyone who suggested themes for our SxS Week!!! Such awesome and creative themes! Now the we admins with speak among ourselves to pick 7 themes out of the ones YOU suggested!

Hi everyone!

Well, well, well! Seems like many people are up for both of the activities I suggested (with a suggestion on a slightly different approach to the SxS Week). I'm so happy to hear that! I've read all of the comments and suggestions, and while we can't make everyone happy, we can only do our best to make you all at least content.

Here's what we (and many of you) suggest:

We will start with the original idea for SxS Week first (we will give the 7 themes for each day of SxS Week 1-2 months before the SxS Week), and then we will do the group collage afterward. (We may utilize the idea of a theme each month in the future.)

BUT WAIT, there's more! Check this out: we'll be adding a collage twist to the SxS Week! So, for each SxS Week theme, we will make a collage out of all submitted fanart. What about cosplay, videos, fanfics, fan comics, crafts, etc, you ask? Well, we will feature links to these works in our journal or in the artist comments of the fanart collage. AND, if we can manage, we will feature each themed fanart collage and other works for one week each on our group home page for a total of 7 weeks of feature!

So, how does that sound? Please let us know!

:heart: TrulyTuyet

Hi all!

With our previous contest almost a month over now, I think it is probably about time to start another activity or contest. What do you guys think?!

I have been brainstorming a bit and think it would be nice to stray away a bit from the Photo Contests but if you would like us to continue with that, by all means, let us know!

For activities, here's what I have so far:

1. SxS Week: If you're familiar with Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Legend of Korra, groups dedicated to these shows have been hosting a "week" for their fandom. So...maybe we can host our own SxS Week! How it works is that on the announce week, there is a set theme for each day of that week. For example, Day 1: Sorrow, Day 2: Peace, etc. You can interpret the theme however you like and art, fanfic, cosplay, (anything really!) will be accepted. But here's the catch: submissions for a certain theme only opens starting on that particular day and only entries that have been posted starting on that day will be accepted. Of course, themes will be suggested by you!

2. Group Collage: We can start a new group collage! If you didn't know, here's our current group collage: crystaltie.deviantart.com/art/… 2010 SxS Fanart Group Collage by TrulyTuyet. It's been more than 2 years now, and since then, we've had a lot of talented artists join our group. I think it's probably a good time to start this again too! We can also have a theme this time around.

That's all I have for now. Let me know what you think about these activities and FEEL FREE to SUGGEST anything else, even contests! I am VERY open to ideas. Admins, feel free to comment here or in the admin area.

Alright, tata for now!

:heart: TrulyTuyet
:party: :cake: Wishing CCS Li Syaoran a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :cake: :party:

In honor of Syaoran's birthday, we will be featuring NEW Syaoran or Syaoran birthday-related fanart uploaded and submitted starting today, July 13, 2012 until July 20th in the Random Feature! We welcome everyone to join in on this celebration! :aww:
