Long time no see, fellow Rivalshippers! How's it hangin'? Good? Good. I'm happy to hear that.

Well my friends it has been a long summer awaiting for our 300 member contest on CxJ-Fans. Though that hallmark never hit, we are standing tall at 252 members, more members than I ever could have imagined in this Rivalshipping group. So let me take a moment to say THANK YOU! to every single one of you for helping me spread the Rivalshipping that we all love so much.

Because of all of this, I have decided SCREW waiting for 300 members, I want a contest right meow! Er... right now.

:clap: :la: :party:

Yes yes kids we're all very excited, but what is the theme and the prizes and the yada yada?

The THEME for this contest is The End of Summer. What you can take that as can be anything you want. I encourage you to bring your own connotations into it. If you need inspiration or examples, you can try out on of the following:
:bulletred: Back to school
:bulletblue: Vacation
:bulletred: Outdoor activities (camping, swimming, etc.)
:bulletblue: Change of season from summer to autumn

And anything else you can think of! If you have questions about the theme, feel free to ask!

:new:I submitted a new oneshot Particular Year as a special promotion for this contest. It's my take on the theme, throwing some head-canon in to taste. Normally I wouldn't submit a deviation for our contests, but this one I'm extremely pumped about. And who knows, maybe it'll help someone get some inspiration and enter in? :new:

ENTRIES can be, as usual, fan-art, fan-fiction (prose and poetry), cosplay, claymation, pretty much anything art form you can think of as long as you can post in on deviantART, the art can be attributed to you the contestant (i.e. screenshots from the show), and it was posted specifically for this contest.

TO ENTER the contest, you can submit it into the contest folder "End of Summer Contest", which will be open to participants to submit entries. DO NOT submit in this folder if you are not submitting it as an entry.

PRIZES are, so far, as follows. If anyone wants to donate a prize for the contest, please let me know.
:bulletred:First place will be a dA 3-month subscription (pretty sweet, huh? ;))
:bulletblue:Second place will be 20 dA points donated by YaoiMeowmaster (thanks!) and an art request
:bulletred:Third place will be an art request

The DUE DATE for the contest is TBD. You'll have at three weeks to prepare your entry.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to note me, comment here, on my profile, or text message me. Well, maybe not that one. If you have my number, please don't let me know that you do, that'd be kind of strange.

Thanks all! Looking forward to this contest with a very deep passion.
:love: How's it going, fellow Rivalshippers? I have great news for all of you!

Let's start with the first and foremost announcement, welcome :iconx-jadenyukithehero-x:, our new admin and contributor to our humble group! :clap:

With the addition of another admin, Hero and I have been discussing what we could do to make our the group's community more active, more fun, and more organized. We've come up with a few things, which I have put into action immediately!

:bulletblue:One, we have a newly reorganized homepage, journal and gallery. Most importantly is the UPDATES section to the right side of the blog entries in the journal section. Check that section out for important group, member, and affiliate announcements. :) Also, I'm working toward making us a Super Group. Shh, don't let the secret out.

:bulletred:Two, by suggestion of X-JadenYukiTheHero-X, I have created a dAmn chat for the members of group. :party:
    I added everyone in this group to the members list, so you all have precedence over guests in the chat.
    The chat is not limited to talks of Rivalshipping, but anything you might want to talk about. Anime, music, math homework, philosophy, facebook, whatever you want!
    Feel free to invite your friends who aren't in the group, too! Hero and I will be active in the chat regularly.
    We may also use the chat for voting in mini-contests in the future. Until we become a Super Group...

We're looking forward to this next step in the advancement of our growing community! Just let me or Hero know if you have any questions. If you have not been added to the members list, let me know, I probably spelled your username wrong.

Have a great day, Rivalshippers! :hug:
:wave: Hello there Rivalshippers!

As you might remember, a while back I asked you all to help me compile a list of great Rivalshipping material on the net. :) While it is an ongoing list (as I'm sure you can tell there isn't much to it yet), I have decided to continue with that project at last!

Below is my small (but growing!) list of fanvideos, fanfictions, fanart, slideshows, and doujinshi outside of deviantART. Each link has any appropriate disclaimers next to them. I'm going by dA's guidelines here when in comes to mature content, so bear with me if it doesn't seem all that mature. Also note that I have not read or watched all material on here. If there is something you think requires a disclaimer, please let me know. I am not responsible for what your virgin eyes might see. Also, anything with a * is strongly recommended. Thank you.

Though it has been delayed about a week, our 200th Watcher Contest has come to an end! :hug: Thanks so much for all the entries. Though we didn't have as large as a turn out as last time, I'm still very happy that you all worked hard and submitted entries! :D

We started out with five entries to the contest. However, one entry is voided because the member who entered the contest left her old account. So, we only have four entries, three of them fan-arts, one a poem:

:bulletred:Spring contest, a poem by Eira14
:bulletblue:Happy Easter, Slacker, a fan-art by MewStar13
:bulletred:JudJun, a fan-art by Yazu-Jud

Though it was difficult to choose out of the four entries, in the end I am happy with the results. Again, thank you all for entering! :love: Since we had so few entries, I decided that everyone deserved a prize! :D

The winner is
:iconshandibear: with her great comic Selling Easter Eggs. Congratulations! :party:
Your prize: A three-month deviantART subscription, donated by XCrazy-ShunshineX!

Second place winner is…

Now for the moment we have all been waiting for, the winners of CxJ-Fans first ever contest, The 100 Watchers Pocky Game Contest! First, though, I, RayDoodleSnoosh, and lemon-splash would like to thank all the entrants for all their hard work and participation. We really appreciate your help in making our first contest a success! :hug:

We started out with eight entries to the contest. Two fan-fics, two cosplays, and four fan-arts:

:bulletblue:What Could One Pocky Game Do?, a fan-fiction by IlanaNight

:bulletred:Chazzudai Pocky, a fan-art by Specter1997
:bulletblue: Pockygame JuudaixManjoume, a cosplay by ManjyomeTheObelisk (feat. demonJohan)

It was a very difficult decision for Ray and I to choose just three out of the eight, but even harder to choose one. Eventually, we narrowed it down to what we thought was the best work.

The winner is
