Tutu Scrapbook: Update

[wmchichiri.livejournal.com]

Here we are, well into December, and to date I've only had 2 people who inquired after my snail address, obviously ready to send their contributions in for the scrapbook. Um this is seriously worrying me folks. Today is December 18. I need to have stuff to arrive by Dec 31st in order to have the time to put this all together (as it takes alot of time to do, and I only have a limited amount of time not already spoken for) and to guarantee that your items WILL be included.

I know it's the holiday season, and many of you have been busy between family stuff, parties, wrapping up school for the semester, or trying to slug through work so you can enjoy the holiday break... BUT if you're serious about contributing you need to get your ballet slippers on and dance your goodies over to me. If you DO NOT get your goodies in the mail by Saturday December 23rd, then there's no guaranteeing that they will arrive in time for me to include them, (unless you want to pay higher shipping costs). If you're going to miss the deadline, still feel free to send the stuff in and I'll do what I can, but the sooner it gets to me the better.

I've already made quite a significant investment in materials to put this together (over $150). And have already spent over 12 hours on the scrapbook. And I did all of this because the initial response seemed very positive. But here we are at the wire, and as things stand now it looks like I've only got 5 people contributing. 5 people out of a community of over 300 members here at princesstutu? I know I want this to be something special. I want to sweep Itoh-sensei off her feet in exchange for the way she has swept us off ours, but I can't do this alone. The strongest statement in this case is not one voice, but a choir of voices singing our love for this show together. So please everyone, get to work and marshall up some contributions. :)

Got a question not covered there? Ask me! I don't bite.

Also, don't forget to purchase your Tutu event shirt! Refer to fennelwink's earlier post here: http://community.livejournal.com/princesstutu/123801.html

P.S. nobody_and_me everything arrived safe and sound. Thanks for getting everything to me in a timely manner!

PT General Series AMV - You're Never Alone

[serika-san.livejournal.com]

General Series video, but unlike the last one, this one is much lighter-toned. Been meaning to do this one for awhile now, but just didn't have the drive for quite some time. This is probably as close as I'll get to a holiday video (even though it doesn't have anything to do with Christmas), in context to where a "heartwarming" feeling/atmosphere is concerned.

Song: Crash and Burn
Artist: Savage Garden

The theme on this one basically starts off with how Ahiru/Tutu reaches out to the other three main characters through their difficulties, lack of self-confidence, etc. A little after halfway through, it then changes to how Fakir reaches out to Ahiru, and how Mytho and Rue bond together. So you can sort of call this a shipping video, too.

I followed the lyrics as closely as I could, but near the end, it repeated the chorus too much for me to be able to match everything over and over. ^^; All in all though, I'm pretty happy with it. It didn't quite work out the same way it did in my head, but I think I got pretty close to what I wanted with it. WMM is annoying, but I do the best I can with it.

You can find the video over here: You're Never Alone

Hope you enjoy. As always, feedback is most welcome and appreciated. Happy Holidays. ^^ (I do have a PT fanart or two for Christmas in the making too, but neither are done yet. I'll see if I can get through with them before Christmas)

Now I must be off to read something I meant to read earlier today...(AMVs are so time-consuming XD; )
