I feel the same way. The time was never right, and I didn't want to ruin anything between us. I wasn't sure how you felt, and then to sort of hide my feelings even further, the mother-daughter relationship was born. Not to say it was a front. I've always been protective of you. <3 All this time, though, I wished I had said something to you. I wanted to give it a chance, but I was scared. Always scared, and always missing you terribly. All of the time. I will tolerate all of these Sumix___ shippings for now, unless challenged. Someday I will truly have you to myself, away from this LCD screen, and in my arms. I haven't forgotten and I never will. Can't wait, Sumi. Ahahaha ! I will defend Sumi for as long as she'll have me. Until the very end, or until she doesn't want me anymore. I'm not afraid of you, or anyone else. So we'll see just what you can conjure up with that imitation love of yours. Until you surrender, bring it on.
You're asking for a subsection, not a thread. It's called a subsection. :) Just clearing that up since it confused me last time. Alright, I understand what you're suggesting now. My question to you and the supporters of this idea (it'd be great for them to post and give their opinions, too! :D) is what's wrong with posting your character sheets in the OOC section? During the revamp (or site make-over), the OOC section description was rewritten to say; "An area to discuss your RPs, help each other make RPs, post character sheets, come up with ideas in groups, etc." Meaning it's fine to post your character sheets there. They won't get lost as long as you link to them and you can find the thread again just by subscribing to it. So, I'm curious, why not just continue posting them in OOC since that's where they belong at the moment? Edit; This keeps it an optional thing without cluttering up the RP Section and making it larger than it needs to be. RP Idol received a subsection because Signature of the Week contest has one, and all of the threads were previously going into the Discussion section, cluttering it up. That, and because we actively use/participate in RP Idol.
Don't Stop Believin' Stats. 11 out of 11 solos TAKEN. 1 out of 13 quartets OPEN. 4 out of 4 duets TAKEN. Chorus OPEN. Notes; ★ Welcome, welcome! Time for Don't Stop Belivein', an anthem of sorts. This songs holds the magical ability to make people cheerful. It can be a lot of fun if done right, so give it your all! Be energetic! Feel the magic! Not only are we receiving the joy of singing in a chorus with each other, but we want our emotions to be captured by those who listen as well. So feel it in your heart and have loads of fun! ★ I don't know how fast this one will fill up, but if it turns into an ocean of members, don't freak out. Double check your lines and I'll update when I'm Online again. ★ Pay attention. If you mess up on a word or a line, please do it over. Sometimes it really hard to fix your mistake. I know it can be time consuming, but it's worth it. ★ Your lines are due BEFORE the listed date. If you have to drop out, drop out TWO DAYS prior at the latest. This is a new requirement. I'm tired of late minute drop outs. Please help me out by giving me enough time to work with your dropping out, if you must do so. I've been lax with this because of the holidays. But I'll be enforcing it now. What is this? It's just a collaboration type musical thingy with KHV members. Anyone can join. ANYONE. All you have to do is post the lines you want, record them, and send them to me on time. If you weren't in the previous choruses, I need you to find a picture for me to edit for you. High quality anime pictures can be found here: http://www.zerochan.net It doesn't have to be anime, it can be anything. It just has to be HIGH quality, and LARGE enough for me to work with. Not giant. But a nice size. Bigger than our avatars. Once you turn in a suitable picture, you'll never have to again unless you want to for future chorus stuff. So yeah, if you want to find another picture for me even if I have one, let me know. Otherwiseeee, for anyone who -hasn't- given me a picture yet at all, please do so. There are no auditions, no microphone restrictions. It doesn't matter if you think you're an amazing singer, or if your mic is fuzzy, all I ask if that you have fun with it and turn your parts in! The Song? Spoiler: Original Song [video=youtube;5I-SbwCHJ80]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I-SbwCHJ80[/video] Spoiler: Instrumental http://www.box.com/s/84tgxx4lnuotzfdittb8 (First line starts at 00:23) ("A singer in a smokey room..." starts at 1:10-11) ("Working hard to get my fill..." starts at 2:06) How to Record. For those of you who aren't sure how to go about recording yourself singing it, there are several different programs you can use. Audacity is a free program. I use Reaper, which is also free for evaluation. What I'd like to ask if that you sing along with the instrumental/main track for timing, but your finished track not have the instrumental. For example, if you make two different tracks in a program, and record yourself singing on one track and have the instrumental on another track or playing on youtube or something while you sing your part, when you send it to me I would like to just hear your voice and not the instrumental. It is MUCH better for you to be too quiet than too loud. If you're quiet, I can turn your volume up. If you're too loud and your mic peaks, I have to turn your volume way dowwwn. You can sing along with the instrumental, and it's okay if the instrumental/main song is heard faintly in your recording, so long as it doesn't overpower you. For those of you who decide to use Reaper, I can show you a detailed tutorial on how to do it. Here's an Audacity tutorial written by P for Mulan, but whatever; Spoiler How to Use Audacity Getting the Stuff Go here and download the version for your computer. (Use the 1.3 series.) Install it in the manner appropriate for your OS. Go here to download and save the Mulan instrumental to somewhere on your computer. (Or whatever instrumental you may be using.) Opening the Instrumental Open Audacity. You'll should see this. Open the Mulan instrumental with Audacity. In a Mac, it's File>Open. Navigate to where you saved the Mulan instrumental, and open it. You should now see this. There are two tracks, for the two stereo tracks. Recording Open the Audacity preferences and look under the 'Recording' tab for the Overdub option. Make sure it is ticked, so you can hear the instrumental as you record. Mine looks like this, but yours may be slightly different. Press the red button up top. A new track will begin to record, as can be seen here Listen through the instrumental until you get to the part with the lines you need to sing, at which point, sing them. When the song is finished, press the yellow, square stop button. You should end up with something like this. Fixing Errors Of course, you'll probably screw up somewhere. That's why you can do it multiple times. Click mute on the mistake'd track, as in here. Next, click before the area where you made a mistake and press the record button. You can now sing the part again. When you're done, press the stop button. You'll end up with this. You can do this procedure as many times as needed, until all lines are correct on at least one track. Editing Now we have to delete everything except the lines you're gonna use. (You can now unmute any muted tracks.) We want to use the Split Delete tool. You do this by selecting the unwanted lines, as in here, and using Split Delete on it. On a Mac, the shortcut for it is Option+Command+K, but on a PC, at a guess, it would be Alt+Control+K. It will yield this result. Continue doing this until you've only got your lines left. Mine looks like this. Now we remove the instrumental track too, by pressing the X on the top-left of those two tracks. We're left with this. Sending to Jayn Now the hard work is done, we just need to export it. Go File>Export, and choose where to save the file. Make sure it is in WAV format. It'll look somewhat like this. Ignore this metadata thing that pops up. Just hit 'OK'. Likewise, hit OK on the Mono Channel warning. You're done! Now go and upload your file to some filehost, or email it to Jayn. Rules? Have fun! Send your lines to klairecross@gmail.com in MP3 or WAV format OR provide a download link for me in this thread, PM or VM. You may have FOUR parts (FOUR lines), and a maximum of FOUR people can sing one part together--EXCEPT for the lines in [brackets]. Those are solos, so only one person can claim those. This rule may be changed depending on how many people are interested. These Kawaii Desu things here --> { ♥ } <-- are for duets. Only TWO people can claim those. The lines in black should be recorded by everyone. First come first serve for lines, but the deadline is January 8th. That means turn in your lines BEFORE then. Once a line is striked out, it means it's not available anymore. Please RESERVE your lines before you record. You can post here with what lines (FOUR max, but not three solo parts) you want. I will update the thread with who's singing what part, and what lines are all reserved out. When you send your lines to me, you can either have your lines timed to the instrumental in ONE long file !TIMED TO THE INSTRUMENTAL!, or you can record all of your lines separately and send them to me that way in a ZIP or RAR file. Once again...TIME your vocals. Sing to the TIMING of the song. Sing to the song. Remember that I don't actually want to hear the song behind your vocals. If you sing along, wear headphones so your mic doesn't pick it up OR have the song really low while you record. If I hear it, the audience will too and that makes it sound bad. Please help fill out the song. If you have the time, please pick four parts. REMEMBER to record the BLACK LINES. Otherwise, when the chorus sings together, your voice will not be included. Anyone can sing the black lines, but I'm less likely to fit you into the video if the only thing you sang were the black lines. (When it's much harder to fit everyone in to begin with.) Lyrics/Parts: Black Lines = EVERYONE records that part. { ♥ } = Duets. TWO people can claim that part online. [ ... ] = Solos. ONE person can claim that. Only ONE solo per singer.

My Dear Sumi-chan, Your Song; x Instrumental Credit; x I don't care what Nova says. We belong togetherrr. You and me, girrrrl. Forever and ever. It started back in '08. The chemistry was there. Sparks were flying, there was love in the air. Too scared to admit, Just hopin' it would show. I wanted it to last, But I wanted you to know. The feelings deep inside, Pulsing through my veins. My heart stopped beating, every time you typed my name. It's funny how it starts, it's sad how it ends, Just clutching every second, just trying to stay friends. I'm sorry things got lost in the moment, I'm sorry I was too scared to stay. But I'm finally working up the courage, To admit how I felt in those days. I'm sorry that I've been such a coward, I'm sorry that I've hidden my heart. But I'm ready to give it away now, I'm just trying to find where to start. → [akachan dango ha itsumo shiawase no naka de toshiyori dango ha me wo hosometeru] ← You're my family. Someone that can never be replaced. I love you. Please, Sumi, don't turn away. I need you. You're my everything. I want you. Please, Sumi, stay with me. You're my best friend. Your smile lights up my world. You're beautiful. I wish you were my girl. I love you. Please, Sumi, don't turn away. I need you. – Memories aside, the time is here and now. My heart is beating fast, I can barely make a sound. I'll hold you close and dear, I hope you know it's true, All I really need in this whole wide world is you. It's you. Lalalala. Please Sumi don't turn away. ;_____; Jumi4eva.
Mmm. You've done it. You've done it. I need some time. But you've done it. Prepare yourself.
Working on art requests atm. Just an update to those of you waiting. :) Currently finishing up the lineart for Heart's.
Frack yeah. I'll never run out of double the awkward girl threads and Vocaloid. Dream come true. Yes please. ;~; Sumi... I can show you my tooowwwn. With the space needle shinnninnggg, tell me Sumi, now when did you last let your heart decideeee? Screw Plums and all the rest, They can be such a bummmmer, In the Winter or Summer, Your heart will always be mineee. Sumi and Jayyyyyn. The cutest shipping in this thread, Someday we'll make them see, It's meant to be! Won't you share this whole new world, with me? <3

y u play with my emotions
Happy New Year everybody. Have a great one, stay safe, be good and thanks for everything. ;o
If I remember, the responses you got to this before were; Also... I prefer to speak privately about challenges rather than in-thread, but I understand this one and it's not very specific, so it's fine. As you and others should be able to see, I welcome suggestions for specific challenges and put them into the competition. Not all of them are mine. The reason for interactive & non-interactive challenges has been stated. I think interactive challenges are fun and necessary, and help with the competition, but I also think non-interactive challenges are necessary as well to hone into a persons individual skills and weaknesses. You're right to wonder why there are so many non-interactive writing prompts in a role play competition, but the reason for that is because a role play is a bunch of individuals coming together to form and/or contribute to one storyline/world, or a specific set of scenarios, etcetc. In order to come together successfully, you still have to pay attention to the individuals themselves. The prompts are usually to strengthen that individual part of it, so that when you leave the competition and go off into your own role plays, or join other's, you strengthen that personal part of you that you're specifically contributing to the role play itself. Also, as stated by Bushy, I don't mind interaction ones. They just typically take much, much longer to do, and judge on time. I have my doubts. If a season with a few interactive challenges take three months for everyone behind-the-scenes to consistently judge/post/respond to each other/etc, (first season took two months) then ones with larger amounts of extended interactions is going to take like a year, lol.
Okay...Currently rendering in Sony Vegas. Maybe, just maybe it'll finish in time for New Years here (two hours). That'd be awesome. It's at 5%. Posted! Yes.jpg
Ahaha. Nope.jpg
Aww, baby, I-- Okay, so, forget you all. :'C this broken heaaaaaart
Happy New Year. Good job putting it all together, GS. Spunk's cat. Oh gosh. xD
First Impression [RP Idol]; Nice guy, interesting role player. The way you handled leaving the competition Season One got you +50 respect. Later; Sweet-ish guy. A little over-eager, but nothing bad. Funny. Apparently perverted, but I've never seen that in action. Now; Who is the Nook? Kind of a reversed process, but I went from having strong impressions to not having much to say. Seems like you got blunter. To-the-point. Apathetic. Not sure how you act outside of the forums now, but something seems to have changed. That may just be me though.
@Excasr; Just a note, I just finished mixing the lines. I could hear the piano really loudly on your recording. I was able to work with it this time because there are so many people singing with us that it's not distracting, but in the future, make sure you wear earphones/headphones or turn the music down low enough that your microphone doesn't pick it up. c: Other than that, everyone sounds great.
