The Doctor is Back!Greetings, everyone! It has certainly been some time since I've posted any sort of update, hasn't it? I apologize for my silence lately. However, I return to you bearing good news. After taking some time to re-invent myself, ~TheFicDoctor is now back in business! Hopefully to stay this time. The reasons for my absence will be explained here shortly.

To begin with, I would like to inform everyone that my engagement to ~xXIttlesXx has ended. Our marriage was made official on April 6, 2013. Her title is now Mrs. Michelle Calvert! Adjusting to life with my new wife has taken up the vast majority of my free time and has restricted my writing. (Yes, honey, I'm blaming it all on you.

) I trust that my readers can sympathise and express patience with me. Both she and I are gradually establishing

Oceans growing Darker (part 6 ending)Several guards confronted King Nark bowing in front of his feet, "Master Nark... Ghost and his team got away because of Bone's rebellion." "Then he has to come to us. Pull the plug."
Back at the group...
Serallis and Michael have been training, in a small training room; they've really made a team. "So what other magic tricks can you do?" Serallis made a smirk, he threw his paw underhand, orange and purple sparks flew out of his paw making a small firework display. "Whoa... Good thing you're on our side ^_^." Michael said, Right away, ghost knew that they would be good friends from the start. "Here, take your jacket back." Salinas gave ghost his jacket back, "You sure you won't be cold?" "I'll live; besides, I'm goanna need to adapt to the cold water anyway." All of a sudden, the main doors blasted open, guards poured in surrounding everyone in a circle. "You all will come peacefully..." "Or what!?" Michael growled, one of the guards pointed his triton at Snicker, everyone started letti

Fallout Equestria Wild Wasteland: Art Slave WantedAre you an aspiring artist? Do you wish to follow in the footsteps of MadMax and that JanAnimations guy? Are you brainwashed to mindlessly obey whatever sadistic plothole holds your contract?
Well have we got a deal for you!
The creative team behind Fallout Equestria: Wild Wasteland http://www.fimfiction.net/story/64297/fallout-equestria-wild-wasteland is looking for a new member who can help bring our characters into the world of Tumblr, as Raider and Kid, Anywhere But Here, and Murky Number Seven have done before us. We don't need show-quality stuff here, but naturally we want something beyond what we could do ourselves, and on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, if possible. You will not be asked to draw any clop, although there is the possibility of blood and gore.
Unfortunately, Wild Wasteland is a just-for-fun kind of project, so we can only afford to pay you in hugs. Not even real hugs either, more like an IM with the word *hugs* between two asterisks. Because of this, we understand if

How to Move Dirt: Day 14Day 14: The Predators Dream
I knelt by Navon and kept it safe while it rested. I've found the way out but I wouldn't leave my friend to the mercy of darkness. He was out, with quick shallow breaths and a rising temperature that rose by the minuet. 'Navon, wake up…,' I said, 'Navon… Get up for your sake!' I had already tried poking, slapping and whispering into its ear to bring it back but none had woken him. I wasn't simply going to sit there and watch it whither away but I couldn't just leave Navon there. I had to think of something and quick, I needed a solution.
The light was only some distance from where we stood, but the heights seemed steep and dragging Navon might not be the best option. So I did what I had to, risking both our lives, depriving me of energy faster than what was necessary. I carried Navon on my back. I moved slowly, much slower than before. I could only walk one way and turning was for too risky to do. I was vulnerable to attack from any direction. I was the pred

CONTEST TIME!!!HELLO EV-ERY-BO-DY
im holding my first contest and... it's not actualy that big.
what you have got to do is create a band member for my band, THE 666 (the band are furrys).
i would like it most if it was a female and a drummer (you dont have to draw her with the drums).
just like the rest of the band she has to have somthing visably "different" about her, e.g. tic-tac (the guitarist) has a realy long tounge, titan (keyboarder) has had his hand torn of and his eyes are just grey, julian (vocal) has his mouth stiched shut(but some how still manages to sing), the second half of his tail is gone (sort of) and half his ear has been bitten off, here is a sketch of the band
http://fav.me/d65yifa
the winner gets a llama, an icon made for there DA profile (will be troditional or scaned, your choice, tell me which one you want) and there character will be included in the band.
when you have done the picture (thats if anyone takes part) please send me a link to it. i will create a deadline when 2

Project Educate: Fan Art in Flash

by ^KasumiCR, Nov 23, 2011, 4:21:05 AM
Journals / Art News / Fan Art

Hello my dear fan artists and fan art enthusiasts!

As part of Project Educat - Fan Art Week 2011 we'll be reviewing Flash and its relation to Fan Art. Let's get this started!

The Definition

According to Wikipedia "Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to web pages. Flash is frequently used for advertisements and games. More recently, it has been positioned as a tool for "Rich Internet Applications" ("RIAs").

Flash manipulates vector and raster graphics to provide animation of text, drawings, and still images. It supports bidirectional streaming of audio and video, and it can capture user input via mouse, keyboard, microphone, and camera. Flash contains an Object-oriented language called ActionScript.

Flash content may be displayed on various computer systems and devices, using Adobe Flash Player, which is available free of charge for common web browsers, some mobile phones and a few other electronic devices (using Flash Lite)."

Awesome stuff in the Flash Gallery:

How does this apply to deviantART's Fan Art Gallery?

While there's plenty of Flash creations that fall under the Fan Art category, anything that's been created with Adobe Flash has to be submitted to the Flash and its categories as the Fan Art gallery doesn't allow Flash and Animation files.
