10.02.2008:
Hey guys! (and gals too :D) It's me, *tazsaints.Not much to update on, other than it's probably not a bad time to get voting on the contest ideas below here. :D The ide with the most votes will be our next contest theme!
I'm already negotiating with a few people to see what piccy prizes I can get too. :)

Ideas: -- Chose one of these, and vote!!

1) =DarkMythril ~ Drawing Hughes showing pictures of Elysia to a character from another anime/fandom.
2) *XFantasyAddictX ~ Funniest phone call from Hughes to Roy -- Comic or single picture.
3) =kirbykandy ~ A Hughes crossover -- How would he act in a different anime?
4) ~ginabina007 ~ 'How annoying can Hughes be' (from Roy's point of view, of course)

Now, since these are somewhat important, I'll keep the info up from last time.
Ranks. I'm sure most of you have seen them on the member pages (if not, just click the links below here). Well, what are they for, you ask? Hahahaha. It's all part of my master plan. :plotting:
The idea behind the ranks is to show who's more active within the club. It's also a good way to have more than one contest at a time too. Eg: we could ask all non-ranked peoples for one contest, and have another for those with a rank. :)
Another aspect of it, was that I was thinking of a bit of game, and maybe a big club roleplay story at one point. A story within the club will make this an interesting place to keep coming to, as well as (hopefully) hooking new members. :D As that is though, that will have to wait until we have quite a few more people ranked.
Now, how does one increase their rank?? Well, firstly, you need to be active. Submitting art is a good way to start off, but as your rank gets higher, it will be harder to get promoted. Most of the time, it will be at our (the admins) discretion, but we're not mean people. We'll be looking out for the people who really shine. :)
And above all, it's meant to be fun! :dance:

And that's all the news for now!

Hiyo everyone!! *tazsaints here! Being that we're getting close to the end of another month, I wanted to have an update here. :)

Firstly, is the contest ideas! I want to have a contest at some stage to really get this club full of activity again. But I'm fresh outta' good contest ideas. ^^; So of course that means it up to you! What do YOU want to see the next contest themed as??
If your theme is chosen, then we'll up your rank by one! :D

Ideas so far:
=DarkMythril ~ Drawing Hughes showing pictures of Elysia to a character from another anime/fandom.
*XFantasyAddictX ~ Funniest phone call from Hughes to Roy -- Comic or single picture.
=kirbykandy ~ A Hughes crossover -- How would he act in a different anime?
~ginabina007 ~ 'How annoying can Hughes be' (from Roy's point of view, of course)

Now, the second thing I need to talk about is the ranks. I'm sure most of you have seen them on the member pages (if not, just click the links below here). Well, what are they for, you ask? Hahahaha. It's all part of my master plan. :plotting:

Welcome, Hughes fans! General Updates 08.07

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 8, 2006, 12:02 AM
:bulletblue: Welcome to the Maes Hughes Fanclub! :bulletblue:

This is, obviously, a club for fans of Maes Hughes from the great manga and anime Fullmetal Alchemist! It was created on the whim of two lover of Hughes, =sakiru and =nemisiscat , and now it's open for all fans to join! X3


The one in charge

:postit: Recent News :postit:

08.07.2006: *heaves a heavy sigh* I just keep disappearing for months on end, and I apologize. This club was easy to take care of when it was small and just starting out, but there are more and more join requests and comments and notes to check when I log in. It's exhausting. I'm exhausted. Have to work, after all. =p

Anyway, I'm implementing a new policy for new members. I will no longer accept any join request that doesn't have the subject of join. If you've devwatched the club and sent a note with said subject, I will not reply; I will simply add you. For those who don't devwatch the club before I check their join request, I will notify them only once that they must devwatch in order to be added to the club. Also, those who devwatch without sending me a join request will not be added to the club either. Furthermore, those who ask to join by commenting on a journal or frontpage will also be ignored. I do not have time to sift through everything with such a high velocity of join requests. ^_^;

Now on to the mini-contest! New members, please check the contest page for more information on the mini-contest. Old members: if you haven't entered the min-contest yet, I highly suggest you do! It's a good chance to get free art and it's really easy to do! Again, check the contest page for more info.

Now, I once-upon-a-time had a community assistant who helped me to organize the club extensively. That was greatly appreciated, but with my flakiness, she also stopped updating the members list and whatnot. Understandable. Since the club is now nearing 600 members, I've decided it would be a good idea to have three or four community assistants each in charge of a certain task, that way I don't have to worry about checking the club so often (as I'm really busy in real life but still want to take care of the club). With the worry of so much work being lifted from my shoulders, I'd be more motivated to improving the club, etc.

Anyway, my point is I'd like members of the club to note me with applications to be community assistants. There are a couple of older members I have in mind, but I don't want to pester them personally, so if they apply, they'd probably get the job. lol

I basically need one person to be in charge of fanart submissions and one to be in charge of contest organization, submissions, and voting, etc. Both of those people would also be expected to help add members and organize notes into their proper category (as I don't delete notes anymore. =d)

So, please note me and tell me why you want to help, what other experience you have in similar areas, references, etc. Like I said, I do prefer those people who have been members for quite a while, but if you have good references and experience, you might get it too.

Thank you all for sticking by this club even when I'm too busy to attend to it! :heart: Sorry for the lengthy update, but I had a lot to say. lol

=nemisiscat

PS - I forgot to note that if you've devwatched the club and sent a note a fairly long time ago and do not find yourself on either members page, please note me with subject "Not on List" and I'll correct it. ^_^ I also want to work on compiling a text name list like we used to have so that people may easily search our members.. alphabetically. =d
