It's that time again. The Secret Santa is on!

Just like last year, this will be a cross-community event shared with the LiveJournal community, Princess Tutu. You do not need to have an LJ account to participate. You need only one thing to do in order to participate: sign up on the sign ups list.

The list will be open until 11:59pm (GMT -8) Nov. 7, 2009. Assignments will be sent out shortly after that. To learn more, visit either our announcement deviation [link] or the sign-ups post. =elfgrove and =Asatira will do our best to answer any questions.

Hello, hello. Things have been a bit quiet of late, but that is because we are expecting to get started on another cross-community event. I'm sure many of you will remember the Secret Santa gift exchange we had in association with the Princess Tutu LJ community last year. Well, and I are getting things started for this year's Secret Santa. Right now, we're in the planning stages of the event, and are looking to get an idea of when to have the sign-ups and when to have the gift exchange period. You can see where things are by checking this planning post at the LJ community.

Keep an eye on this club's journal updates to get the latest news and to sign up. If you want a gift you will have to sign up and be willing to give something. If you have any questions, feel free to post comments here or send a note, and we'll try to reply as best we can.

The voting deadline is a few minutes away and honestly, there's not a chance of the winner changing at this point. It was a landslide. So massive kudos to our first place (Popular Choice) winner.
The Admins had quite a job before us though, judging all of the entries based on attention to the theme, creativity, personality/charisma of the piece, art quality, etc. We had quite a debate before coming to a final decision. That's what happens when we get a lot of lovely pieces for a contest, and it makes =Asatira and I extremely happy when you make picking the 2nd place (Admin's Choice) difficult. Ultimately, we took a note from PTT itself, and chose an entry that we could feel had a strong impression of the heart of the character's portrayal and the artist's intent. Besides, it made us laugh the moment we saw it, which is always fun.

So without further ado...
Popular Choice: "Heart of a Blue Bird" by ~secondlina
Admin's Choice: "SHUT THE F*** UP PLZ" by ~iiyalovestobite

I'll be sending out the prizes and posting the art to the club gallery later tomorrow. I'm exhausted at the moment.

Also, =Asatira and I discussed a potential change to the way we hold contests starting next year, so keep an eye out here for more info on that.

Good luck!

Good afternoon!

This your friendly, neighborhood admin here to say that the clock is ticking for the Second Stringers contest. We've gotten a handful of entries, as you can see, and we're looking forward to more. Remember, you have until midnight of August 26 to submit an entry.

Good luck!

We've got more new contest entries. This is turning out to be an exciting contest. More, please!

We've added another entry to our list. Keep them coming!

And we've gotten 2 wonderful entries to start the August Contest really rolling. I'm excited already. Keep 'em coming guys!

It's that time again! Time to get started on the new contest. We've decided to mix it up a bit and give you guys a challenge. After going through the regular submissions and our contests entries, we noticed a serious dearth of love for the supporting cast. Most of the stuff has been related to the main players of the show; Fakir, Ahiru, Rue, and Mytho. Well, not this time around. This time, you can't use these four at all. Instead, you get to have some fun with the supporting cast. This is your chance to show some love for those who haven't gotten all that much love. Or not; maybe you want to have some fun with those you don't much care for. Sound interesting? I think it is. You can find out more about it at the contest announcement. The prize for both popular and admins' choice is a one-month subscription, provided by our own

We look forward to your entries. Remember, feel free to ask questions at the contest deviation if there's any confusion about things: [link]

Well, it's been two weeks since I put up the poll to see when you would like to have the next contest. For a while, one month was ahead, then there was a tie, now another moth is ahead. And I think there's been enough time to decide. The next contest will be held in August. I'll be in discussion with to discuss the theme/prompt for the month and the prizes. Until, keep an eye on the updates.

Happy Fourth of July for our American members, and a good day to all.

Things have been a little quiet on the admin side for the last month, as it is wont to do between events. Not to worry, we are in talks about the next event and are working to get it set up soon. In the meantime, be sure to keep submitting pieces to the Club, we enjoy sharing them with our members and everyone else who drops by.

edit: We have a poll to get an idea of when the next contest should be held. You can see and vote here.

Congratulations to all of our contestants.

Good morning!

The moment has come. We had a number of close to the wire entries, but now they've all been collected and are presented to you for your perusal. Which entry will win "Best Picture"? Which will be given the honorary award known as "Admin's Choice"? That, my fine members of the academy, will depend on your vote. You can cast your vote at either the voting deviation or you can send a note to the club with "Contest vote" in the subject heading. Remember, you have until May 31st to cast your vote.

Good luck to all our entries.


_{May 19, 2009 12:41pm (GMT -6)}
Heads up!

This is a reminder that this month's contest deadline is approaching quickly. You've got until midnight Sunday night, the 24th, to get your entries in. Remember, we accept both fanart and fanfiction for this contest. More details here: [link]

Greetings.
Two parts to this update. First, I welcome all our new and prospective members. For those who are interested in joining, be sure to check out the club's How to Join rules in order to get approved very quickly. For those who have submitted for membership, but got postponed due to an incomplete application (you have to watch/friend, put icon in most recent journal entries, and note us) and have corrected in the meantime, please, please contact us again. We try to keep track, but sometimes names get lost, one admin may have handled the initial request but another handled the next update, and we can't keep track of everything. Just send us a note to remind us, and you'll be added in the next update.

Second, we've received our first entry to the contest!






_{May 1, 2009 8:54pm (GMT -8)}
Hey guys, just a quick update from your friendly nieghborhood mod. The new Club-Tutu contest has begun, so go check out the contest info, and have fun! [link]



_{April 8, 2009 7:54 (GMT -6)}
Just a heads up. The Steampunk Genderflip gallery is now up. Enjoy. And feel free to keep submitting pieces for it.



_{April 2, 2009 12:43am (GMT -6)}
*ahem*

Okay, this is either going to get a lot of laughs, some "I knew it"s, and maybe a few angry yells. Anywho, as most of your are aware, we had recently posted our new contest announced the other day. We got some pretty good response to it. Pleased us a lot. But, thing is, that wasn't a real contest. You do know what yesterday was, so you kinda had to take it with a barrel of salt.

Truth is, we would never be so cruel as to blatantly ignore your voice in the matter in regards to both the time and the theme. The next contest will be held in May, and the official announcement won't be until then but you should be able to tell what the subject is. In a way, you guys have an extra month to get to work on it.

That said, I'm rather curious if any of you have started something with our steampunk genderflip prompt. If you guys have started work on it, feel free to send it in. You won't get a signed photo of Femio, but who knows. If we get a good handful plus, I might see about making a special gallery to hold 'em.

So, if you had fun, you can thank Becky and I. If you hated it, you can blame both Becky and I. But mostly Becky.

Important news, Tutu-Fans,

=elfgrove and I are getting ready for the next ~Club-Tutu contest. However the last few contests have had rather low attendance, which has frustrated and concerned us. Two possible factors have played a part in the low participation. The first has been mentioned a number of times by our members: bad timing. The contests tend to come up during busy time periods for many of our members, and so they can't participate. The second factor may be the topic themselves. While we try to come up with interesting challenges, they may not be as open or well defined to get the best entries.

So, what we're going to do is have you, our members, determine when the next challenge will be held and what the theme/prompt will be. We will be using polls and comments to determine the final decisions. The time period poll is up now for voting. The theme poll is available over here. So please vote and comment so we can have a lot of participation in the next round.

Evening, Tutu-Fans,

Not much to report related to club. Things have been flowing pretty smoothly and I hope it stays that way. Keep an eye out towards the later part of the month; =elfgrove and I will begin planning the next contest and will want to get some feedback from everyone about when will be a good time to host it.

We do have some news about an upcoming re-release of the Princess Tutu box set. Obviously, this is a re-release of the complete series with new packaging, but for those who were unable to get the first box set, like the new art, or whatever reason you want are inclined to get it, be on the look out. According to this link it will be released in late April '09.

Guten Tag Tutu-Fans!

New year, new update journal entry.

The final results are in, and the winners of the 1 Year Club-Tutu Anniversary, "One Year Later" contest are:

First Place (Popular Choice): "Hatched" by *Sakena (1 year sub)
Second Place (Admin’s Choice): "One Year Later: Magic" by ~AteMozzarella (3 month sub)

You’ll be contacted ASAP by the admin about delivering your prizes.

Now, I have to say, with the big prizes up for grabs, and the fact that it was the big one-year anniversary event, we were kind of disappointed at the low turnout, not just for entries, but also by the voters. Please, let us know what we are doing wrong, and what we can do to encourage club participation!

Now, we’d like to hold the next club contest around the April-May-June time frames. Please comment and let us know what works for you!

Congratulations to the winners!
