Extending the Summer Story Contest Deadline Again and Opposite Usernames!

Me: Hello there.
You guys: That's it? Just... hello? No crazy intro?
Me: Nope. *yawns*
You guys: *sputters* But-but-but that's so UNLIKE you! Are you tired or something?
Me: Yup, I got woken up at 6:00 in the morning because of a thunderstorm. *blinks sleepily*
You guys: Well, snap out of it! *snaps fingers*
Me: *snores*
You guys: *face palms*

Well, that was my "Swirlshine" intro for today's post! I did actually wake up because of super loud thunder so I just listened to music on my MP3 until 7:00. XD

Anyhoo, I noticed I have only gotten one entry for the Summer Story Contest and the deadline is tomorrow. So I think I should extend the deadline to an even further date, because I really wanted more entries to make this fun! So, now the deadline is August 25th, which gives you a full month to write a short story! I pretty much beg you to because I got a whole lot of people saying maybe they will enter but I have only gotten one entry and two chapters from another. So, please help this contest out by entering or telling someone about it. I would really appreciate it! :D And who doesn't love free drawings?! XD

Thanks, guys! ^.^

This is super random but a month ago or something, I got this thought that, what if I switch a bunch of people's usernames to be the opposite of what it actually is? I tried doing a bunch of friend's users and I got some crazy results. XD Let's just say, it's a good thing our users are what they are...

Let's begin! *rubs hands*

Real user: Lostfairy Opposite user: Foundhuman

Thoughts: Okay, there wasn't really an opposite of "fairy" so I just did "human." My opposite user doesn't sound that amazing... XD

Real user: Dreadwisp Opposite user: Anticipatesolid

Thoughts: Um, no comment.... XD

Real user: Koolestkat Opposite user: Weirdestdawg

Thoughts: Heh, sorry, sis... :P

Real user: Doomypanda Opposite user: Happykoala

Thoughts: I know, I know, koalas aren't the opposite of pandas but hello, what's an opposite of a animal? (besides cats and dogs.)

Real user: Swirlshine Opposite user: Straightdull

Thoughts: Oh my goodness, I'm sorry, Swirl! XD

Real user: Penguinboss/Penguin55544 Opposite user: Polarbearservent/55544Polarbear

Thoughts: Again, polar bears aren't exactly the opposite of penguin but... close enough. :P

Real user: Nafaria9 Opposite user: 9Alyssa

Thoughts: Ya know, Nafaria and Alyssa are the fairies in Webkinz! ;)

Real user: Fluffykittenlover17 Opposite user: 17Pricklypuppyhater

Thoughts: OH MY GOODNESS, I'M SO SORRY, BESTIE! This user is... weird... I love your actual username much better than the opposite. XD

Real user: Karalee/DXplorergirl Opposite user: Eelarak/XDcouchpotatoboy

Thoughts: There's no opposite of a name so it's BACKWARDS! XD And don't get me started on the other one... XD 

Real user: Sarahkey8 Opposite user: 8Haraslock

Thoughts: Like I did for Karalee, I did "Sarah" backwards. :P

Real user: AJKraft/Meganfurryfun17 Opposite user: JATfark/17Nagemhairlessboring

Thoughts: I... don't know what happened with this one... XD

Real user: Graciepopstar91 Opposite: 91Mercilessfan

Thoughts: Oh boy, a merciless fan? Sounds dangerous. XDD

Real user: Ja983 Opposite user: 983Aj

Thoughts: Guys! We found out AJHQ's secret account! Ja spelled backwards is AJ!! :O XD

Real user: 2fangwolf Opposite user: Gumsbunny2

Thoughts: Almost like Bugs Bunny, am I right? :P

Real user: Lpslover98989/Frozenwarrior Opposite user: 98989Splhater/Thawedbegger

Thoughts: Um, I'm sorry, Frozen... XD

Real user: Pinpun Opposite user: Detachnotfunny

Thoughts: Actually, that IS funny! XD

Real user: Purplestarclub Opposite user: Orangemoonalone

Thoughts: If you're wondering, I chose orange because it's kinda the opposite if you look at a rainbow or something. (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo/purple, and violet.)

Real user: Violet86271 Opposite user: 86271Red

Thoughts: I chose red the same way I did for Purple's opposite user.

Real user: Crazcatlover Opposite user: Normdoghater

Thoughts: No! Puppies need loveeeeee! XD

Real user: Arcticstar8404 Opposite user: 8404Tropicasteroid

Thoughts: Sounds delightful. XD

Real user: Snowlondon Opposite user: Rainnodnol

Thoughts: I have no idea what the opposite of "London" so I did it backwards again. :P

Real user: Talloose Opposite user: Shorttight

Thoughts: Um, ok then! XD

Real user: Transions Opposite user: Snoisnart

Thoughts: Again, had to write it backwards. XD

Edit:
Real user: Harmonypurr9/Canine Claw Opposite user: 9Panicwoof/Feline Talon
Thoughts: Well, I know "talon" isn't opposite of "claw" but whatever! XD

Real user: Cuddly/Narfaria8 Opposite user: Scary/8Alyssa
Thoughts: Oh, Cuddly, now you're Scary! XD

Well, I'm sure we're all glad we don't have to have our opposite username as our actual user. XD

I gotta go now! Supper smells so amazing... XD

Have a wonderful rest of your day and never forget to...

Jam on!!

Renovations and Summer Events

Hellooooo, guess who's back with a pooooost?!

If you guessed Lostfairy, you are wrong.

Okay, just kidding, its me, Lost! ^__^

And boy, oh boy, I am pumped because I am on...

Summer vacation!!

I'm super happy because now I have 3 months of total fun. I will probably try to go back to 2 posts a week but we'll see how that goes. I will try to be more active during this summer though, don't you worry!

But I'm also happy about this post. I have planned this post for a few weeks now and I can't wait to keep writing it. 😊

Today's post isn't going to be about AJ as much. Its more like talking about what's going on this summer on AJJ. I've got some interesting things up my sleeve. 😉

Rewriting:

That's right, after a little over a year, I will be doing some rewriting on AJJ. It is very needed in some areas... 😜 What am I rewriting?

• Every tab. All the tabs, except JH, have been around since I first started this blog. Which means, they are stiff and formal. I cringe at them, actually. I feel the need to rewrite them in my new writing style. (More... fun? And me? 😏)
• My profile. It's kind of boring. And stiff. And not the greatest. 😂 So, that will definitely be rewritten.

Deleting:

You are probably a little worried about this one! But don't worry, it's fine. 😆 I'm not deleting anything major. What am I deleting?

• Codes tab. It has been forgotten plus I never think of adding new codes. It's really pointless.
• Edit: I will also be deleting some old comments on the JH tab, since it is full!

Adding:

I will be adding a new tab to AJJ! I have been thinking about adding it for a while but now I am finally doing it. What tab am I adding?

• Jamaasian stories tab. That way, all my short Jamaasian stories can be in one place. I will probably write more short stories and add them into the tab. 😊

Changing:

Out with the old, in with the new. It's time to spice up AJJ with some new backgrounds and things! What am I changing?

• The template. It's summer! We need a nice, summery background! 😆 I loved the spring background but it's time for a change.
• My profile picture. It's not my main look anymore. I changed my designer skirt a while ago. I actually DON'T own a grey skirt. 😳 I had borrowed Koolest's skirt for the picture. I had no idea it was going to turn into my main look. 😂 So, now it will be a red designer skirt for my main look. (But I think in Koolest's JH illustrations, my skirt will still be grey.)

All of these updates and things will take place in the next few days or so. 😊

And now! On to some summery things!

I have not one, not two, but three summer events planned!

Summer Splash Party!

That's right, I'm having a party to kick off summer! It's sure to be a blast!

Here's the invite:

I hope you all can make it! 😉

Summer den contest!

Last time I held a den contest, it went nowhere. I got a few entries but I never announced the winner, oops! But this time, I promise to actually announce the winners!

All you need to do is: Create a summery den and then comment on this post or something saying that your username and that your den is ready for me to go look at. Simple!

Rules:

• Don't copy, cheat, or bully other people's entries.
• Don't use your extra accounts!
• Be creative!

The winner of this contest gets one free masterpiece made by me of their choice. (Note: The masterpiece must be one I've already made before February.)

This contest ends June 15th! Go decorate your dens! 😆

Summer story contest!

You heard it folks! I am going to be holding a STORY contest! It's gonna be so fun seeing all your entries! I really love writing stories and I know a lot of you guys do too. 😃

I actually got this idea from Gracie, so, thank you so much for the idea! 😊

Rules:

• Your story must have a summery feel to it, since summer is the theme. Also, it'd be best to do an AJ story since this is an AJ blog. (That doesn't mean you have to write Alphas and stuff into the story.)
• Your story must be 4-6 chapters long and each chapter must be 750-1,000 words long.
• You cannot add any swearing (even "oh my g__ counts as swearing), inappropriate content, personal information, bullying of real people, etc. in your stories or they will be disqualified.
• You can enter your stories by commenting, posting on your blog for me and then taking it down after I copy it, or if you know me on any other social sites that allow you to enter long comments or such.
• Do not copy any stories or use stories not written by you. It must be written by you.
• Have fun and be creative!

What I am looking for in the stories:

• Good grammar, proper punctuation, paragraphs, and good use of capital letters.
• Lots of creativity!

First place winner gets:

Two IRL colored drawings by me of whatever they wish and their story gets posted for everyone to read!

Second place winner gets:

One IRL colored drawing by me of whatever they wish!

This contest ends on July 5th!

Also, I would love it if you could spread the word about this contest by using this picture:

Ignore the prizes... XD

Thank you so much if you do post this on your blog or any other AJ social site. 😃

Well, hope you enjoyed today's post, have an amazing day and...

Jam on!
