The Phantom's Opera
Okay, basically, if you're lucky, you'll see me update this journal pretty often. But that depends on how much happens to me or my charity. So not only can you judge my personality by reading this journal, you can see how boring my life is too! Have
Caption Contest (July 13, 2006)
Thread-goers may have noticed this post I made in the charity:

Quote:
Hey, guys, it's me with another idea that I am determined to make successful. xd Unlike those other events. This isn't really an event, but something I'm going to put in the seventh post.

The Caption Contest.

It's basically just what it sounds like. I'm going to make a picture, and contestants send in the best caption they can think of. I'd like each contest to be a separate thread in the Chatterbox with a poll, unless someone has a better idea. 3nodding Since there is a limit of 10 poll options, only 10 contestants can enter per contest.

The contest should be every week, but I know that next week, I'll be away on a trip, so there might not be one. I'll try to keep it weekly and consistent.

I'm thinking that entry fee will be 75g and the prize will be 650g.

Anyway, I'd really like some feedback about this! I'll put this in my journal with some more background information. Whether comments are in the thread or in my journal makes no difference to me. I love constructive criticism! Some of the many things that could help me are your opinions on the entry fee, price, contest location...

Thanks for your time, everyone! biggrin I love you guys! heart

One of the main reasons why I am doing this is because one of my best friends wants a KiKi, and since she's one of the very best friends I've got, I said I'd get her a KiKi. It was more like a joke, but after thinking about it, I told her that I'd get her one by the end of the year. So I promised her and myself that I would buy her a KiKi by the end of the year. Now, I'm determined. So I'm going to try to help boost myself towards the KiKi with the Caption Contest. ^^ It may be just a small thing on the side, but it helps nonetheless.

Here is some extra information about the contest that I think works best (though I am still open to any suggestions you may have on them):
>>> Contest starts when picture is posted (probably on a Sunday).
>>> Entries are accepted before or on Friday, or until there are 10 individual users (meaning NO MULES) entered.
>>> Thread starts on Saturday (I'm thinking in the Chatterbox) with a poll. The picture will be posted and each poll option is a caption. Underneath the posted image will be each caption with the username of the user who entered it.

By the way, some of the pictures will contain avatars. Before using anyone's avatar, I will ask that user whether they mind their avatar being shown or not. Of course, just because it is that person's avatar does not mean it has to portray them, and of course that person may change their avatar as they like whenever they wish. It's just that they have a right to decide, right? 3nodding

Please post your comments either in my journal or in the thread! (It makes no difference to me which one you comment in.) Thanks in advance! heart You guys are great. cheese_whine





Rebirth of the Opera (July 12, 2006)
It's about time, eh? Here I am, finally updating this journal.

There's finally a new special banner. Thanks, tamcharles, for making the last one (celebrating 400 pages) and letting me use it for 300 extra pages. sweatdrop

I hope to be posting in here more often this summer. I haven't used this since October of last year, right? Yikes.

So.

Words cannot express my gratitude for all the support I've been receiving for over a year and a half of running the Phantom Charity. I can't say that I expected it to run for so long, but I underestimated the happiness that I'd get from donating to people. I understand that items on Gaia are simply pixelated images of things we might think are cool, and that Gaia-gold isn't an official currency at all. However, questing for anything, real or not, is hard to do and takes willpower and determination. I am EXTREMELY proud of my charity and I am even MORE proud of the fact that I know the people who support it. 3nodding Thanks, everyone. Thank you all. heart

Cheers for all future prey donatees (or whatever the word is) and for sending trades to people when they don't expect it! ninja
