CURRENT NEWS - 11/17/09

Hella-Toes Fan Fiction Contest!

- You Write It, They Do It.

Hella-Toes Fan Fiction Contest - Promo Art by ~Melancholy-Minds!

[Edit: Good news! I'm extending the contest deadline due to low submission rates. The new deadline is November 30th. Come on guys, get writing. It's only 3-5 pages. ]

Hey doods!

Sorry for the delay on the update. Fluffy has been busy with some r/l things, sadly. XD

First things first, I have a list of "Death Note Must Sees."

1) Finally, Death Note comes to the U.S.

(YES RYUK! Seriously, that would be so much more useful than a Death Note. And I swear I've seen "inflation" fetishes that parody this all over DA....against my will. )

2) NEW Nendoroid Petit ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE Death Note dolls. Look at Watari! XD You can buy them here.

3) L Stole the Serious One. Watch the first video. So cute, and I can't believe how much work went into this.

4) LOL, guess wat? Fluffy received a link to an actual, authentic Death Note Porno from Japan....Just part of my job. So yeah, it's called "Meth Note" (which I believe describes the inspiration behind how it was developed) and I can't post it here for fear of being banned, but enjoy it those of you who want google the internetz to find it. XD

(And sorry ladies, L isn't in it. In fact, none of the DN characters appear in it from what I can tell. It's basically like what Death Note would be if the Death Note was picked up by a hoar. )

Now, on to actual news...

Soooo, I have some pretty amazing news. =hella-toes is doing a "Contest for a Content."

If that doesn't confuse the bajeepers out of you, here is what's going on:

is planning a Death Note Fanfiction Quilt.

[PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS TILL THE END]

Q) What is a fan fiction quilt and how does it work?

A) We shall be posting the first chapter to a Death Note fan fiction in our forum section, likely about 3-5 pages long. Afterwards, each club member will be able to contribute about 1-5 pages to the fan fiction in any order they want.

Basically, let's say the first chapter is about L and Light "going to college" or something. You can write about 1-5 pages for "the next part" where in your version, L and Light THEN go the cafeteria to plan a case of sorts, and post this to the forum.

In other words, any member of =hella-toes will be able to add the next "chapter" to the fan fiction, and any other member can then add the next chapter, and so on and so on.

So it's like a never ending fan fiction. XD Woot!

General Information:

1) You do not have to ask permission to contribute to the fan fiction. Just post your part like you would in any other forum when you are ready.

2) Posting works on a first come, first serve basis. Meaning that if someone beats you to posting the next chapter, you'll just have to edit your story to work around it. Sorry!

3) Each club member may only submit ONE chapter. No more.

4) IMPORTANT: If your chapter does not follow the rules, it may be deleted. Sorry, but I have to be fair to everyone. So please read the rules below BEFORE posting. Thank you!

Rules:

1) Each chapter may be no less than 1 page and no more than 5 pages maximum.

2) NO ORIGINAL CHARACTERS. Sorry, but unless it's just "the guy behind the counter who only shows up for an hour in one scene" then I can't really allow it. It wouldn't be fair to make up an OC that everyone feels they have to include in their part of the story. XD Thank you!

3) NO ADULT CONTENT. I'll allow about PG-13 stuff, which includes minor swearing, but no hauling off and dropping F bombs on us. If you need cussing that's relevant to the story, then just "bleep" it you @#$%* crazies. (lol ) Also, no sex scenes or outright nudity. I'll allow some minor nudity for humor purposes and light romance, but nothing perverted please. XD Keep in mind we have kids lurking about on DA and I don't want to get the club in trouble. Again, if it's in a PG-13 movie, then it's probably fine. Although if you're worried, you can always note us to ask first.

4) NO YAOI. I know I know, all the fan girls will kill me for this, but keep in mind we have actual straight male Death Note fans in the club, too. And I've probably already been killing some of them with my "WHAT'S THE HOTTEST PART OF L'S BODY " poll, lmao. They've been pretty good sports, so I have to be fair to them now. XD That being said, if you're really iching for it, I'll permit "Shounen Ai-ish" stuff. I mean, if L can give Light a foot rub in the actual series without being gay, then I guess stuff like that will be fine. But please stop it short of making out or sex timez. Gay humor is okay, as long as it's not offensive. Like "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry" kind of humor is fine. XD

[For the sake of all you fan girls out there, =hella-toes will likely make a "Yaoi Death Note Fan Fiction Quilt" especially for you yaoi fans some time in the close future. But for our straight male counterparts, let's try to keep it clean on this one. XD Thank you!]

5) NO CRACK OR OCC-ness. You know what this means. Basically, if L walks into the room going "Yo yo yo Light-Dog, what's crackalackin" I will delete that shiznit.

6) NO CROSS-OVERS. L does not need to "catch them all." D8 Nuff said.

7) CHECK SPELL/GRAMMAR. noone wanna red a storie that goes lyke dis.

8) LEAVE IT OPENED ENDED. Now this is an important one, but it can be a little hard to follow, so you can ask me if you're not sure of something. In order to be a fan fiction quilt, there can't be one "solid goal" intended for the end, like "L and Light have to go on a quest for the holy grail." If one person puts a solid goal for the end of the fan fiction, then it's like he's basically determining how it's going to end for the rest of the people who have to write it, even though it wasn't their idea. XD See what I mean? Now that being said, you can still have goals in the story. Like, L and Light have to catch a murderer or L and Light have to plan a college event or something, because the story can continue after the murderer is caught or the college event is over. However, if you make a grand "ultimate goal" where the story kinda has to end there, then it's best not to do it.

(Oh, and while it may go without saying, "Leave it Opened Ended" also means not going "THE END" at the end of your chapter. )

9) And lastly, nothing generally offensive, like Light happens to join a rape cult in his free time. :/

[Note: =hella-toes reserves the right to delete any chapter we find not in accordance with these rules. Thank you for your understanding!]

If you have any questions about these rules, or if you want to ask if a certain part of your chapter will be okay, just note us about it.

[NOW THAT YOU HAVE READ ALL THAT]

Okay, so here's the actual contest for now. We need the first chapter for the fan fiction quilt.

=hella-toes is asking all club members to submit the first chapter of the Death Note fan fiction quilt. If this chapter is chosen by the members (who will be voting on them in a poll), then it will be used as the "starting off" chapter for the fan fiction quilt that all other members will be contributing to.

If your chapter is chosen as the first chapter, then you will not be able to add additional chapters. However, it will be pretty awesome to be the creator of the first part of the story.

Your chapter must follow all the rules and must be anywhere from 3-5 pages long.

Contest Deadline: November 30, 2009. You have about 5 weeks, so start writing!

Please submit all contest entries to =hella-toes through a note by the date listed. Thank you to everyone who contributes!

And thank you all again for your support of

Much Love Always,
~thefluffyshrimp

ABOUT US

Hella Toes is a fanclub for L, a character from the manga Death Note (Story by Ooba Tsugumi, Art by Obata Takeshi).

Hella What?

"The name "hella toes" originated from myself, ~kaname. When L was first introduced in chapter 11, the first thing I noticed aside from his cute, dorky monkeyness were his toes, THEY WERE HUGE! So, where does the hella come in? I guess it's just West Coast (California mainly?) slang for "very"/"really", cause I remember everyone saying it when I was in high school. It's become really cliche nowadays though. I use the word mockingly, for my own amusement. Thus, the first thing out of my mouth when describing L's toes was: "HELLA TOES, MAN! They're like, prehensial and shit." XD

And now you know how my strange mind works. Kinda. Not really."
