Wow, it's been a little over a year since I last logged in.

I can still clearly remember when I first started this club, I checked for updates every single day with the intention of making it most active club for the fandom (at the time, it was still fairly small!). I tried hard to promote it, keep people interested, and come up with little things to give the members reasons to submit and participate. It's a club, so there should always be something to do, right? Right!

I met so many amazing members and made a couple of friendships that I wouldn't have before, and it was increasingly difficult not to adore this club and all of its wonderful members.

I wanted it to grow! Grow large! The biggest D.Gray-man club even!

Yet. . . somewhere along the line, I was slowly losing time where I could check in on and makes updates. Then there was just simply no time at all, and everyone's notes and things just continued to keep coming. Suddenly I couldn't keep up with it all like I used to.

A hiatus was called due to this, and a request to please stop sending more notes until I was caught up. I said I'd delete them, but how could I? It's hard to reject someone, provided that they're not one of the dummies who don't bother read how to join.

In the middle of an update, which was going to be a gigantic one I was slowly compiling in notepad*, I found a slew of notes yelling (or rather the text equivalent) at me for my delay, so I stopped. I simply closed notepad and my firefox tab.

This club was for fun, for both you** and me. It was not a chore, an obligation, work, or anything of the like. I did not ask much (you didn't even need to know my name***), all anyone ever needed to do was read the rules and patiently wait for me to get to their note. Waiting, I suppose was too much to ask for?

The remaining desire to update (despite my hectic life at the time) was effectively squashed by those notes. I do apologize for that though. I feel that I should have simply deleted the notes, plus removed them from the club if they had been apart of it already, and continued on. Alas.

I deeply considered giving this club off to someone, but I couldn't bare to. This was my baby, and I had already given away another club of mine so I could focus on this one. . . plus the people I appointed to the other club ditched it without warning or giving it to someone else. What a waste!

What was to say someone else wouldn't do the same here? Why should it be temporary revived by someone else only to die out again? It might as well remain in my hands.

I am considering reviving this club, but I don't think I could do it alone. I would definitely need some help, but I am extremely picky. Who would want to go through THIS?!?

Well, technically no one would need to since I'd rather simply delete them all since a good chunk of those notes are from now-abandoned accounts. The question is who would want to?

It's just a thought.

So, this is what I have to say.

Now, what do you have to say? What should be done about the club? Any suggestions?

Let me know in a comment. Please don't send me a note, but if you absolutely must then send it to ~Cellia.

* Copy/paste is god. Shut up. :[
** A collective you, that is.
*** It's Kimmeh. Hi. :]

HIATUS?!?!?!
Give me a bit to go through this.

I apologize for any spamming of your message center.


Halloween or Happy Birthday Contest
The theme is either Halloween or Happy Birthday to the D.Gray-man Club. Since Halloween is coming up soon, why shouldn't the DGM crew celebrate it as well? After all, even Exorcists need a chance to enjoy the holidays. If you're not interested in that then you're welcome to have them celebrate the club's first birthday instead! Or maybe you could try your hand at both.

Beauty and the Beast Comic
An abridged retelling of Beauty and the Beast with Allen
starring as the "beautiful" uke desired by the conceited Tyki
and forced to live with the Beast Kanda in order to free his
womanizing master Cross. Pointless song and dance routines,
random movie, song, and YU-GI-OH abridged series references,
and everyone acting out of character included. Do not flame if
you worship Beauty and the Beast or D Gray Man religiously
because I tire of your e-mails.

You can read it here.


Black Order Host Club Comic
*samurai-bebop has created a doujinshi which is basically in her own words, "D.Gray-Man meets Ouran Host Club doujinshi. It's like Yu-Gi-Oh! abridged series only with D.Gray-Man characters and they're in Host Club."

Check out beginning of the Black Order Host Club here.

Simply sending a note to the club with the title "Join" will get you (almost) instant membership. All that is required of you is show off your membership somewhere, such as journals, signatures whatever. You should want to show off your fandom!

This is really easy. You send a note to the club giving a link or links to the art you'd like displayed.

But what do you gain by having your art in the club? Profit? Not money-wise, no. Your art is basically archived and all D.Gray-man related art is always accepted. Someone wants D.Gray-man art, they come here. They see your art here, visit the orginal and favorite and/or comment on the piece. Or you could just say it's way of pimping your art.

We also accept fanfiction of any kind that does not break the rule below.

Certain fan-characters or original characters in fanart or fanfic of D.Gray-man will not be accepted. For the simple reason that we're a fan of Hoshino's ideas, not yours. Those things are meant for your own gallery. Feel free to ask what I'll allow in the gallery. :3

From now on, I will only place fifteen deviations into the club gallery per day (not including artists on the watch list).

Busy, Busy~
I'm sure that most of you won't really notice but the club will be updating slightly slower then usual. Instead of updating twice a day (wut?), it might possibly be two or three days before I'm able to update.

Why? That's simple! First off, I'll be in another state for around two weeks and any time before the end of July will be used to prepare for Otakon. My apologies for any delays and it won't be long before things are running as quickly as they usually do!



Cosplay Contest {CLOSED}
The theme of this contest is Cosplay. The point is to draw a D.Gray-man character of your choice dressed up as other animanga characters, movie characters, famous band members, tv characters, game characters or anything else you can think of!

Remember folks, the most original/unique entry wins an award. Both fanfiction and fanart are welcome.

Check out Events for more information!

D.Gray-man Club In A Comic?!
First off, if you haven't already go check out *samurai-bebop's gallery. The club has been made into a character for *samurai-bebop's webcomic which is all kinds of awesome.

You can check out her comic here.

This is really easy. You send a note to the club giving a link or links to the art you'd like displayed. If you'd rather, you can just state in a note that you'd like all your D.Gray-Man art in the club. I'll then check your gallery regularly to see when you add more D.Gray-man art.

But what do you gain by having your art in the club? Profit? Not money-wise, no. Your art is basically archived and all D.Gray-man related art is always accepted.
