5 Days Left and we still have categories that are in danger of being cut!!! @_@ Where are all the regulars!!!

We are thinking about opening the contest so you can enter 1 piece per category if you wish to save the remaining 12 Categories that do not have enough entries!!

Any thoughts on this? I'm also going to go poke all the other threads I have for the contest.

I think it makes sense to allow 1 per category. I had to cut some that I was considering because it would have taken me over the '9 regular category' limit.

[Jadeduo]

Sounds good to me then! Make it so! Let's save the contest! Again :/ And hopefully guilting the DBZ peeps will get me some play too... (Did this on the FB group) ^_^

[Emeraldas]

Hi,

If I buy the Keys but I have not yet received these, do I still put that right?

Thanks

[Jadeduo]

Salut Emeraldas!

Google Translate est pas toujours le meilleur traducteur, est votre question, si vous ne l'avez pas encore reçu de cel nouvellement acheté dans le courrier encore, vous serez en mesure d'entrer dans le concours?

Les règles dites que vous devez avoir le cel dans vos mains avant la date limite d'inscription, si vous avez jusqu'au 31 Octobre 11h59 HNE pour le recevoir.

Par la façon dont vous avez une belle collection, et je pense que vous devriez avoir aucun problème à venir avec les entrées appropriées pour le concours si vous choisissez d'entrer. La date limite est le 31 Octobre si vous avez beaucoup de temps pour obtenir vos entrées vers moi. Si vous avez des questions pour moi, ne s'il vous plaît à me contacter à tout moment.

Merci,
Jadeduo

PS: Désolé pour mon mauvais français, ça fait des années depuis je l'ai utilisé et je devais utiliser une combinaison de Google Translate et 5 ans d'école d'il y a 10 ans ...

Hi Emeraldas!

Google Translate is not always the best translator, is your question, if you have not received any newly purchased cel in the mail yet, you will be able to enter the contest?

The rules say you must have the cel in your hands before the registration deadline, you have until October 31 11:59 EST to receive it.

By the way you have a beautiful collection, and I think you should have no problem coming up with the appropriate entries for the competition if you choose to enter. The deadline is October 31 so you have plenty of time to get your entries to me. If you have questions for me, please contact me at any time.

Thanks,
Jadeduo

Hmm, if a cel was submitted to a failed category, might it be possible to change the category? I have a feeling the answer will be no, but still worth asking.

[Jadeduo]

Any categories that fail I will contact the entrant and give them a chance to change the category Monday Night.

Sorry! All categories have been saved with the exception of:

Chibi/SD: 2 entries, needs 1 more to be saved
Itadakimasu: Zero entries
Sorrow: Only 1 entry, needs 2 more to be saved
Optional Hentai: 2 entries, needs 1 more

If you have any more cels you can submit (and hopefully save a category!) today is the very last day to do so!

[Jadeduo]

I can come up with on for Chibi and Sorrow, looks like we are going to lose Itadakimasu this year! And if someone else could help out with Sorrow we might be able to save it!

I have no Hentai cels, I KNOW we have hentai collectors that have to yet to enter!! Anybody???

Sadly most of my porny pieces leave more to the imagination than anything else even though the source material is uuuuuuummmm... nice. They are also usually black and white, so I might be able to save the sketch contest in the future... for cels I am SOL.

You are VERY welcome Emeraldas I will go through your entries this evening! I quite enjoyed practicing my french... I really need to visit Cel-City more often, but I am so busy everywhere else!!

We have also removed the entry limit to you can enter in as many categories as you like, but only one piece per category.

Thanks to all that have entered so far.
JD

[Jadeduo]

Okay it's totally past my bedtime and I need to give a meeting in the morning, so the preview is starting but I am not yet finished double checking the surveys. Only two categories have been cut, please contact me if you would like to move your entries elsewhere. I might take some more overnight entries, but it will be on a case by case basis. Anyone who sent entries in multiple email please check your submissions carefully for errors.

I will finish the rest of the surveys and any changes that will need to be made tomorrow evening November 1st, however I wanted to at least let everyone know what was done instead of waiting till tomorrow to check for errors!

All done! And any errors that peeps caught I fixed as well! Keep em' coming!

Thanks,
Jadeduo

Here is the Rubberslug gallery!! (Removed the link for the time being, since I closed it so that I have time to put all of the winners names on the titles, and will open it back up again once the awards are done and added!)

Important: Please check all of your entries for any errors, whether it be spelling, character/title name, wrong image, etc!!! If there is an issue please email us ASAP to fix it!!! There were a couple of errors that were caught during the submission process. If you don't report any errors with your entry by Nov 5th, which is the end of the viewing period, they are going to remain as is for the rest of the contest!!
