Deviation Actions
So, it's been awhile.
Pam's journal got me thinking that it's been awhile since there's been some Admin action around this place so I figured it was time to rectify that. Okay so Pam's journal was awhile ago. That just shows how quickly my brain works.
Anyways...Earth G is not dead. While there's been a lack of contests/projects/journals etc that doesn't mean it's all over, even if it may have seemed like it. The thinking was that since everyone had been focused on other things (which is their right) then Earth G should wind down to accomodate that. It would feel douche-ish to throw contests in people's faces when they have more important things to deal with.
(It's at this point that I should say that Liss and Dakt have not signed off on this journal. That's right. I've gone rogue. )
So yes, Earth G still exists. In whatever form it now exists in.
One of the reasons for this journal is to say that through Earth G I was able to meet many lovely people. (For the dudes out there...yes, I just called you lovely. Deal with it.) I don't take that lightly. It's quite the anxious experience starting a group (especially one with a weird premise like this one)...so to go through with it and have all you wonderful people appear and join in has been awesome (woman). So I absolutely would not throw that away just 'cause. Before Earth G started I looked around at other groups and saw that they seemed to exist to serve the founders. People seemed to create these fascist rules and make people do things a certain way and to a certain timetable or else they'd get the boot. Part of starting Earth G was to counteract that. To create a loose fandom where people could express themselves without having strict rules bearing down over them. It's at this point I direct you to Earth G's application rules. But anyway, that's my way of explaining why there are quiet phases...and to express that I'm grateful that you all, for whatever reason, wanted to sign up for this craziness.
Now I should say that this is not the paragraph where I announce some new contests and projects to jumpstart member interaction. No no no. It's just an explanation. To be honest, the reduction in Earth G's activity saddened me. I don't mean that in a guilt trip way. Like I said before, I understand other things must take precedent. But I do miss the active days. Plus...whatever happened to Kamikamiya?
Anyways, Earth G is still here and open for business. Now...with less Admin prompts. But seriously, Earth G isn't going anywhere. The monthly contests may have stopped but that doesn't mean it's closed for business. Earth G will continue to exist indefinitely. Hopefully I'll get off my ass one of these days and draw something Earth G related.
Until then...I hope you all know you are valued. I would take any of you over Zac Snyder or David Ayer anyday.
P.S - Yes. I thought BvS and Suicide Squad sucked.

I Have Become Santa, Destroyer of Worlds
It's time again for a Secret Santa...which I totally remembered and didn't need to be reminded of by ShadowDancerBrony. :paranoid: Again. :paranoid:
So let me know if you're interested in a comment below and we'll get to work.
Like usual we'll let it run until the end of the year to give everyone time to do something.
SACK!
The Secret Santa was left open for awhile so I figured it was time to get the ball rolling. I've sent out notes letting everyone know who they got in the random draw. :ninja:
It's incredibly close to the end of December so lets leave this open until the end of January. That should give everyone enough time.
If anyone wanders in late (~Iseewhatyoudidthere (https://www.deviantart.com/iseewhatyoudidthere)) and wants to take part we could probably organise something.
Santa Claus Is A Microaggression
Greetings all. :wave:
I thought I would check in and gauge any interest in doing a Secret Santa this year. Like previous years we would put all interested people in a list and then use a random generator to give everyone someone to produce a gift for. (That's a badly constructed sentence but...eh, whatever.)
If you want to be part of the Secret Santa just let me know in a comment below and I'll sign you up.
I'll leave it open for a week (maybe two) to give all interested parties time to sign up and then we'll start handing out secret recipients, if there's enough interest. Because we're starting late the deadline would probably run into ne
Helloooooooooo~?
(Dragonslover1/Pam/Nightshade here!)
Well it appears Earth-G has all but been frozen in time. That's sad. (I mean I'm partly to blame for not doing anything in, oh, a year? Still!)
I want to hopefully kickstart the interest again. Honestly I miss everything about this group and the people therein. Thing is, I don't really know how to go about doing that.
Obviously another contest is not going to be the thing that does it. And I don't think I can front all of the effort myself.
This one blog is my first attempt at catching attention and hopefully the spark of renewal, but I imagine there's some work to do before interest returns regardless
