Here's my new picture -this time parody of Dobby the house-elf's liberation scene from Larry Gardener Harry Potter.

our elves are different

Good job, I like it! Although you need to switch the worlds "There" and "is" around, but other then that it is great.

[Elder Tsofu]

You just ruined that picture for me - I didn't notice the errors before you pointed them out.

[half-halfling]

Malkar Grumbo -thanks, I've fixed it. I've also added famous scar on Larry's forehead .

Here's the really big one I was talking about.

(for the record, I know it's a "he" in the poem. I just forgot until I'd finished her went with artistic licence)

[The Tygre]

Brilliant, Serpentine.

[Maximum Zersk]

Nice, Serpentine.

[Silverraptor]

I applaud you for all your entries, Serpentine. And one of your entries is suprisingly similar with what I'm currently working on. Speaking of which, I need to get that done, don't I? By the way, I hope you will alow me to use that picture of yours as a reference for me.

Let me know if I missed anything! So far, lots of competition in Best Avatar and Best Literary Scene, but very little in Best OOTS Avatar (except for a lot of "Order of the Written Word"). There have been NO Best Library entries yet, and only one rookie (Zersk786). Is anyone else a rookie?

Out of curiosity, which one?

Bookworm: You know you don't have to collate everything, right?

Shooting you a pm for secrecy measures. Got your bullet-proof vest on?

[The Bookworm]

Out of curiosity, which one?

Bookworm: You know you don't have to collate everything, right?

But I like to!

[Serpentine]

I made a chart upon which I mapped the sexuality of anyone who'd give me their coordinates, and which I adapted to an alignment chart for my D&D game.

Who am I to judge?

[The Bookworm]

Ooh! Can I see it?

[Thufir]

(for the record, I know it's a "he" in the poem. I just forgot until I'd finished her went with artistic licence)

Also for the record, I think you'll find it's "Then rested he by the Tumtum tree," not 'So'.
Also you clearly don't have the first idea what the Jabberwock, toves, borogroves or raths look like. And I don't think that's really a wabe either!

Seriously, very good.

[Serpentine]

Bookworm: Thusly.

Thufir: 1. The internet disagrees. I'd check my own copy, but I'm not sure where it is
2. To be honest (and I know you're being facetious ) I don't really like Lewis' explanations for all those words. I think it spoils the nonsense of the poem. So I chose to ignore 'em ^_^

Also, it's borogoves

[Silverraptor]

Bookworm: Thusly.

Interesting...

Do you update this at all?

[Dexteros]

well this looks interesting i would try for a rookie one.... if i knew a book to pick maybe the hobbit? and that looks pretty cool serpentine

[Serpentine]

Interesting...

Do you update this at all?

Sporadically(sp?). I'll stick you on if you wanna give me your coordinates.

Dexteros: Thanks By the way, I think you have the wrong dimensions on your avatar.

[Dexteros]

ya thanks i noticed that i cant seem to figure out how to make the perfect sized box in inkscape but besides that im going to go and "try" and make a hobbit scene for the rookie one!

[Malkar Grumbo]

Malkar Grumbo -thanks, I've fixed it. I've also added famous scar on Larry's forehead .

Glad I could help, keep up the good work.

[Serpentine]

ya thanks i noticed that i cant seem to figure out how to make the perfect sized box in inkscape but besides that im going to go and "try" and make a hobbit scene for the rookie one!

It's 94x123px. You'll have to change it from 123 to 120 in Inkscape, and then you just put in those dimensions under there "custom avatar" box in User CP.
Good luck Don't forget you can enter multiple times!

A city of dreamers (and books) By BishFish

EDIT: they're kind of small. since a city of dreamers isn't an avatar, let me know if you want it bigger.

[John Cribati]

I'm currently working on some Redwall stuff. I should be done my Wednesday.

[Serpentine]

Bishfish: I suggest at least making the library one bigger, gets a bit lost.

[BishFish]

@serpentine: I would, but I am leaving for thanksgiving and i don't know if I will be back to my desktop (where I saved it) until after the 30th.

What the asexual and the Hybersexual one?

[Serpentine]

Yep, that's the one. Though it was more about homo/heterosexual.

If there's any innacuracies there, please let me know. Except for Susannah's holster, the way it actually is wouldn't work in this style.

[happyturtle]

Only inaccuracy I see is a lack of Oy.

[Elrond]

Yep, that's the one. Though it was more about homo/heterosexual.

Ok well then I would be 0 I think
