CHURCH OF LEMONS FOR THE WIN!!!!

My followers! Omnicat's soul is still in grave danger! We have yet to fill our calendar with pledges! Therefore I beseech you all to go forth and spread the GOOD WORD of the church of lemons! For the sake of Omnicat and her doomed fandom soul!!!

Taking a moment from the Church of Lemons to tell ALL of you to go pick up Ouran High School Host Club. being the savvy manga fans I know all you friends are, I'm sure I'm the late one to the fandom yet again and that everyone on my f-list has already read  the series. Still, I feel I must rant!

Ouran High School Host Club is a manga about a girl in a private school who passes herself off as a boy and works for the school Host Club to pay off a debt to them. (she broke a vase). The club was created by the bastard son of the school chairman, Tamaki, who is THE MOST hilarious character in the manga. there are five other members, the twins Hikaru and Kaoru, Tamaki's best friend Kyoya, and the seniors, Hunny and Mori.

Aside from escapades in the host club, the manga is a fresh take on the shojo genre because it takes jabs at shojo in general. Haruhi is a smart, practical and apathetic "commoner" (read: middle class) girl whose world the Host boys don't really understand. One of my favorite chapters is when they visit her apartment. Hunny comments that haruhi's house is so big and that there are "so many doors and windows! " Kyoya cuts in and explains that the building isnt her house, it's actually a small unit inside.

Anyway, though Ouran exists as an anime, I really recommend reading the manga first. The anime is kind of like the Fruits basket anime...it only goes so far in the manga and then shoots itself in the foot with the ending, cutting off possibilities for future seasons. although some episodes are worth watching for seeing the scenes acted out, i think the manga is definitely worth the read.

And of course, then there's MORI...Let me say, that although Trowa can NEVER be replaced in my affections, Mori is the first character to even come CLOSE to be considered Trowa's equal. definitely up there in bishonen ranks FOR SURE.

Tynan in her infinite wisdom has set up an official Church of Lemons gmail where you can email pledge requests and pledges (if you don't have a yahoo)! The address is:

churchoflemons2010@gmail.com

I hope you all are spreading the word!

It is time! Pledge dates are OPEN!! Now PLEDGE my people! Pledge, and provide your fellow fangirls with the ultimate show of devotion to the fandom!

Trowa: I still don't understand how smut is a sign of ultimate fan devotion

MG: IT IS THE ULTIMATE SIGN!


This year Tynan, my co planner, and I have put together a tasty list of fandoms to choose from,
here they are!

CHURCH OF LEMONS 2010 OFFICIAL FANDOM LIST (GUNDAM WING IS A GIVEN):
Gundam 00
Bleach
Naruto

Every year the tradition is to choose a sinner, which I assume is someone who has broken the sacred 1xR pairing. Last year the sinner was Rose for her 3xR, THIS YEAR....

Omnicat, you are the sinner for that sinfully good 6xR you wrote. Bwahahahaha!

So now we must fill up the calendar so that Omnicat doesn't have to write 30 lemons. So PLEDGE! PLEDGE for the salvation of Omnicat's fandom soul!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful new years! Here's to good health, lots of wealth, and lots of love! And another toast to the gundam 00 movie, hopefully released in 2010!!

 GET THOSE LEMONY CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING, PEOPLE, BECAUSE THE CHURCH OF LEMONS 2010 IS ON! That's right, and I want ALL OF YOU talented people on my friends list to at least think about joining. 

For those of you who are too lazy to read back into my journal and find out what CoL is all about, here are the 'rules':

Contributers, or pledgers, sign up to submit a work on a certain day. We let you request what date you want, or if you're indifferent we'll pick one for you. On that day, you must either post your fic on the Love Reflection Group at Yahoo OR you can EMAIL THE FIC TO ME and I'll post it on your behalf, forwarding any comments to you. 

The submission can be a FIC, AMV, ARTWORK, FANMIX, as LONG as it is smexy! (or it wouldn't be the Church of Lemons)

ONLY HET PAIRINGS ARE ALLOWED. I know, I enjoy Neil/Tieria as much as the next girl BUT for the Church of Lemons only HET pairings are allowed.

Works must be from one of the listed fandoms. The list has a few spots that need to be finalized, but so far these have been confirmed as official:

Gundam Wing (duh)
Gundam 00
Bleach
Naruto

Of course, we'd like if you didn't post your work anywhere else before CoL is over. 

Finally, and this is IMPORTANT....

NO PAIRING HEERO AND RELENA WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN EACH OTHER. I admit I can't even sympathize with anyone on this, since breaking up 1xr usually means creating a 1x2 and since 2xH is MY OTP OF ALL TIME...you get the picture.

Stay tuned for the Official post with dates, etc! 

Hello everyone! I wanted to put the word out to you all about the CHURCH OF LEMONS 2010. We haven't made the official post in our group yet but planning will get underway soon and with it, pledges!

For those of you who arent' familiar with COL, it's a semi contest slash event where writers pledge to submit a smutty fic/art/amv/fanmix centered around one of the fandoms on our list. Fandoms change from year to year depending on demand but it is ALWAYS centered around Gudam Wing's HEERO AND RELENA. And of course I am there to deliver the 2xH to the hungry masses. 2xH FTW!!!!!!

I hope all you het writers on my f-list join. Piyomon, I haven't forgotten that you were giong to push for G00 to be included in the list! Omnicat you help advocate too! I know you're in! Hope to see some great work, as always! XD

As a side note, I HAVE A BLACKBERRY! I am so excited about it. I'ts like a supercomputer!And it's red, which matches my scarf and gloves XD

I know this will be rather disappointing for all of you. Especially annwyd, who I am sure has given up hope of ever seeing her prize plushies. But after several trials, and tears over burned fingers, here is Marie Parfacy, without a face:



I know the picture is a little small. I'm fighting with her over her hair a bit, it hasn't been finalized. In case it doesn't show in the pic, her dress is purple cotton to match her shoes and the trim is in a pink gingham. I thought it was adorable. What do you guys think?

I ran into a problem with annwyd's plushies today. While stuffing Marie's head, the microsuede around her chin began puckering horribly. It was really noticeable especially because I'm making them in a special chibi size. I didn't have this problem making Duo for anime expo, so I assume its the microsuede. Help!

Taking a second to post this because I can~t stand it.

I LOVE YOU ALLE MARIE FANS FOR POSTING YOUR DOUJINS ON LJ. OMG. I just can~t download them yet because I don~t have my own computer and I don~t want my grandpa to log on to his computer to find Alle/Marie smut doujin on here. (yeah, femmelujah, I'm taking about the yummy looking doujin you posted! ) So please you guys don't take anything down until I download them ALL! XD

I just had the worst/best moment of my life as an anime fan.

Seriously, have I been missing something here?

Rewinding, I was browsing youtube for an old alle/marie amv (YES I WAS BROWSING FOR AMVS WHAT I NEED INSPIRATION FOR PLUSHIES!) and stumbled upon...this.


Yeah I really hope this works. It's alle chan singing, in case it doesnt work. They also had T-chan and the rest of the gang. Seriously, Alle sounds like a cute member of a boy band, which fits, you know? Totally moe. But T-chan, I felt REALLY embarassed for, because I KNOW you would have to get him WASTED to sing at all, and since Tieria probably doesn't drink...he just wouldn't do it.

I demand an explanation from anyone who can give it. Oh GOD, is there a soundtrack like this for Gundam Wing???? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO????

So after my ever fabulous uncle gave me a few pointers on creating couture, and I was able to finish Regene's dress for tieriakitten . Tieria's is about 90% done, all that's left is to hem the skirt and attach the halter tie things. And then poortieriakitten  will finally have her dresses. I was reviewing the pictures of the boys on my DeviantArt and almost fell out of my chair laughing when I realized how BLATANTLY HILARIOUS they will look...Tieria with that pissed of expression and Regene with his :3 face. OH MY GOD. XD XD XD

On another note I didn't even finish watching Gundam 00 dubbed this week. I think, after all, maybe it was the english that turned me off to the series. Or maybe I have less patience because I've seen it so...after episode seven when my OTP became canon the anticipation of seeing the series in english wore off....or hey, maybe it's because Ribbon's english actor gives me nightmares. However, my character of the week award goes to Lyle this time...I really liked the scene where he told Alle-chan to suck it up and try to understand Marie. Er, Soma.

SPEAKING OF MARIE........I ordered a Soma to go with the Alle I got in the art trade with tieriakitten...it was a total impulse buy,misskalloway  had put her up on the G00 comm and I thought...I have so many alles but no marie...and it was done. I will post pictures once I have a camera again...my kodak is 1500 miles away with my family, so I have to wait for the fiance's Canon. Anyway....

Look forward to the pics of the dresses, and subsequently my next project: creating Alle and Marie plushies for annwyd , who got second place in the Supersoldiers Fic Contest.

Yes, MG has crawled from her hole long enough to post. SO here~s the summary!

MG IS MOVING!

Yeah, so I'm moving to my first place ever, which means taking stuff out of storage, and of course by nature this is a lot of work. Thus, I have been and will be taking a hiatus from the internet in general. (did I spell that right...) I will still be tallying votes for the Supersoldiers Contest, voting ends this saturday so if you havent voted GO VOTE NAO!!! What else...oh right I will still be checking my email so if you need me just PM me on LJ. I will be back online at the end of the month.

And now a picture of the dress I~m working on for tieriakitten. it is the infamous dress designed for Regene( Pic under the cut )

So as an art trade with tieriakitten I am currently making the infamous dress from ep 8 (Regene gets a teal one)

Here are some pics of the base of the dress, I still need to add the organza pieces and trim.

Hey all,

So here are the first of the photos of ME in my Hilde cosplay. These were at the Gundam gathering, where I FAILED TO REMOVE MY BADGE FOR PICTURES *facepalm*.  Still the cosplayers were all really nice and welcoming, and it was great to geek out in a group! XD YAY COSPLAY!!!!

I did do a REAL photoshoot later, without my badge, if anyone wants to see those do comment. Here are the pics!

( Image heavy! )

I am officially back from Anime Expo, and I had a blast! I now am the proud owner of an i-doll box signed by Kouga, Mizushima, and Kuroda! XD I also went crazy at the exhibition hall and bought another i-doll (I got TIERIA XD) and TWO calendar dolls. Unfortunately I only got August Setsuna and ANOTHER November Alle-chan DX Hopefully someone from the G00 comm will give Secchan a good home. Alle already has his.

Anyway, I am very tired indeed, so I will have to give a full report later. THanks to all my friends who left me birthday messages, you all put a smile on my face!

It's about what...two days until Anime Expo? AND I AM SO NOT FEELING THE COSPLAY. I am so nervous, especially since my always bluntly honest fiance said no one would recognize who I am because Hilde is not a super famous character like heero or Ribbons or Tieria. T____T I mean, I did think about that, but I stayed loyal to my homegirl because I ALWAYS wanted her to be my first cosplay! Of course, I also assumed my fiance would be able to cosplay as Duo T___T

But oh my god, my lj people! Am I making a horrible social mistake in cosplaying as Hilde? I am the ONLY hilde at the gundam gathering! AAAHHHH!!!!!

*is scared of con*
