rabenhorst | (no subject)

Initially we thought we’d make this when

rabenhorst reaches 100 friends, to celebrate the achievement, but now we came up with another idea for that so this fluently turned to our Christmas event ;)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

So, as Christmas is coming, we’re offering you a unique chance to give requests of what kind of fics you would like to see. Although this is a Christmas-present for you guys, you might not get the fics exactly on Christmas; some will come earlier and some will be late. We simply can’t guarantee we have the time to finish everything by one set date, and therefore we kinda bend the term ‘Christmas’ to last a bit longer XD So try to see it as a Christmas / New Year's gift^^

The idea is simple. You tell us what you would want to see in a fic, as well as what you don’t want to see, and we do our best to come up with something to fulfill the request. Depending on how many people request we might combine the requests of two or three people, simply to keep the amount of work down to a manageable level. We will make sure though that everyone who requests gets something at least^^ Hopefully something enjoyable!

If you want, you can fill in the following form, just to give us some kind of idea what your wishes include. You can as well freely write in a comment what you want, so don’t bother with the form that much if you don’t wish to do so ;) It’s there merely to help you fill in some necessary info. Just let your mind flow. The more precise you are, the better we can imagine what you want^^
So, the form looks like following:
- pairing:
- genre:
- rating:
- what I would like:
- what I don't want:

But! And there’s always a but, isn’t there? x) There are certain things we won’t/can’t write into the stories we do. Which would be the following:

- Shinya x anyone as a focused pairing. We’re sorry, but we simply aren’t capable of writing him in that sense. He’s a welcomed guest in cameo-appearances though.
- Kaoru x anyone else than Die. haha, this one you can blame on me, and I apologize. But the only allowed Kaoru-centric pairing will be KaoruxDie.
- graphic BDSM or S&M. The result would be horrendous so don’t even bother asking for that x)
- self-mutilation or self-harm of any sort. This can be done if a certain plot specifically needs it though.
- m-preg. The only exception would be a humour fic. But I wouldn’t necessarily count on it as we might have a slightly twisted sense of humour XD
- historical exactness. We're familiar with the history of Dir en grey, but we tend to ignore it partly when we're writing.

Also keep in mind that we’ll do only Dir en grey –pairings. Cameo appearances from other jrockers or so are totally fine if we’re familiar with the characters we’re supposed to use. Some crossover pairings might be manageable as well, so if you have one in mind just ask. But don’t trust on that, preferably ask only for Diru pairings.

If something isn’t clear, just go ahead and ask. Other than that, request away ;)

Hell, I have no clue about making layouts. I've been wanting to learn for ages, but my attention span is too short for such a thing XD Sorry, dear.

Yay~ 8D

Damnit XD Well, it was worth a try, right? I really want to do something to the layout of

rabenhorst. It's just not what I want it to be x)

Of course it was worth a try XD ~~Who knows though, maybe I'll manage to gain mad layout skills by the end of the week, huh? 8D~~

haha, yes, who knows XD If you do, please let me know!

It's because of this sponsored account thingy. It destroys the S1 layouts. You can only use good S2s with them. Or go back to basic.

And sorry for stalking again. I really really have no life. *sneaks away*

Which one was S1 and which S2? XD I never remember. And well, that isn't really a layout anyways, I just slammed the banner up there because I wanted a picture there 8D

No need to apologize dear!

One can customize S1 better like I did in diru_nandemo for example but only with a basic account when there's no damn ads everywhere. S2 has those many layouts where you can choose one but one can't change it completely. Yours right now is S1 generator, I guess?

If you want me to try out some layout styles with the banner you're using right now, tell me. Or then you could create a new header and I'll just code it? Whatever, just tell me. :)

for example I've made these with S2:

http://aya_3003.livejournal.com
http://mog_fuyu.livejournal.com

And remember, just an offer, not a must. *blahs away XD*

Uhm, no idea XD I know how to work with the styles technically, when it's about something simple. But I don't remember which is which. And I totally fail in coding properly, apparently. I tried to put both a header and a background image into my own journal back some months ago and failed miserably as I can't get the codes to work XD I can put both up separately but not at the same time.

It would be totally awesome if you could help with the codes^^ I will ask my hunneeeh if we wanna change the picture or keep the old one. You're just too good with all those and I appreciate the help!

Am I babbling? XD

With a basic or paid account you can style really cool layouts, like yours or my writing journal, but with a sponsored account you can only use those S2 styles, but with an awesome header, these are beautiful too. And I'm sure you could make an awesome header like waoh!! XD

Yep, do that and I will gladly help. =D

And noooes, you're not babbling. Did you feel like you do? XD

I think we COULD switch back to basic account with this, if it means a cooler layout x) But let's see if I first get even a header done. Might take some time since I don't even have a picture chosen or anything XD

Thank you! :D

haha, I guess I did, a bit at least x)
