As always, a special thank you to CrazyGirlOfManyNames for proofreading majority of this month’s Dream Novels and to Wanna.Be for proofing a couple and coding them all! You guys are my superstars. Thank you so, so much.

I’ve taken a look at the proofreader applications and will process them sometime this March. I’ve also gotten a couple of coder applications and will take a look at them too. I’m sorry if it’s taking so long, real life gets the most of me, as always. For now, please enjoy the February updates!

Looking for a DN Coder

Posted under updates by MitsuiSelphie on Sunday 17 February 2008 at 6:18 pm

Writer and editor applications are now OVER. I’ve accepted a grand total of three new writers into the team. I’ll announce who they are as soon as details are finalized. All qualified editor applicants have been sent an editor’s test. Deadline is February 19, 11:59:PM at GMT timezone, guys.

For now, we’re looking for a Dream Novel coder who could help Wanna.Be out. If you don’t know how to create JavaScript prompts, don’t worry, we’re going to train you. All we need is someone who can code HTML documents by hand and not save Word documents as HTML files (doing this creates a messy script).

To apply, please send me anything you’ve coded. Fan fiction, whole web sites, anything as long as it demos your coding abilities. Workload is a mere 7-10 or so dream novels per month. Interested parties, please email me at mitsuiselphie[@]gmail.com.

The Clock is Ticking for New Member Application…

Posted under announcement by MitsuiSelphie on Wednesday 13 February 2008 at 4:44 pm

Applications for DOPAMINE membership will end by February 15, 2008 (Sunday). You only have until February 15, 2008, at exactly 11:59PM to send in your letters of intent. Anything which comes in later than that will be deleted.

And please guys, if you want to be part of a team, following instructions is of the essence. When I said please send me an introduction of yourself along with a sample work, I meant it. Sending me one-liners only tells me that you won’t make an effort into trying to submit one DN per month.

I’ve already taken a look at the applications and have already accepted one new writer into the team (please don’t say who you are, yet). I’ll most probably choose just one more, unless I come across someone truly exceptional that I can’t bypass. Please take into account that I value loyalty, dedication, and love for PoT, DOPAMINE, and writing, more than I do outstanding literary abilities.

With that said, I’ll be waiting!

December Updates in February

Posted under updates by MitsuiSelphie on Wednesday 13 February 2008 at 4:00 pm

December updates are ready, peeps. Yes yes, it’s February. I know! But I’ve been struggling even just to sleep. It’s been almost a year since I last posted a DN (Yuushi’s Diamonds, Diamonds, Diamonds), and believe me, I’m about to go nuts! But anyways, I reckon things will settle down soon enough, most particularly when I don’t need to work as hard for the money anymore. Say, sometime around April or May. But for now, please forgive me my shortcomings and enjoy these supposed-to-be-Xmas-updates.

A Call for new Members of the Team

Posted under announcement by MitsuiSelphie on Friday 25 January 2008 at 4:05 am

Hi Guys!

First of all, let me thank Wanna.Be for handling the November updates. The December updates are in the works and we hope to bring them to you soon. And yes, I’m working on two new DNs for the Kiriban requests. I just haven’t had the time to finish them because I’m alternating between being violently ill and extremely busy since December. But that’s not what this post is about.

Our dear writer, Karu, has resigned from her post for personal reasons. Thanks very much for being part of DOPAMINE, Karu-chan. We hope to read your works again sometime in the future. Another writer, kemmybear, is also too busy with her thesis (good luck, kemmy!).

So, we’re currently looking for new team members.

Writer Requirements:

1. Love PoT and know the bishies’ characters well.
2. Can write. You don’t have to be a Shakespeare, but we’re aiming for smooth-flowing, readable stories.
3. Can commit to at least one one-shot DN or one chapter of a longer DN per month.
4. Preferably know HTML to help with the coding, though this one’s not required.

If none of the new writers know HTML, we’d probably choose one or two to join the group as of now since I don’t want Wanna.Be to handle too many DNs per month. However, if someone who knows HTML makes it into the team, we might choose more than two.

Proofreader/Editor Requirements:

1. We need someone who knows the language REALLY well.
2. Can commit to proofreading 7-10 DNs per month.
3. Proofreaders could also be writers if they choose.

Interested parties please email me at mitsuiselphie[@]gmail.com. Tell me something about yourself and send me sample pieces: fan fictions, short stories, whatever, as long as they demonstrate your writing abilities. Those applying to be proofreaders would be sent one DN for proofing before decision will be made.

Please take note that I will NOT be able to choose people as of this moment. I’m afraid, I have serious time constraints. I will probably be attending to applications after the February updates have been released.

HUZZAH!

Posted under updates by Wanna.Be on Thursday 24 January 2008 at 11:24 am

Heylo, Wanna.Be here!

Okay, Okay! This is my first update so forgive me if anything is out of order! Our lovely leader has been trying to teach me how to update the site. Sadly, I’m a poor pupil. Heh! Anyway, within our update we have two Kiriban Requested DN’s. And while on that topic MitsuiSelphie informed me that she is in the middle of writing Kiriban Requested DN’s for both Lilo and VoiDreamer! She hasn’t been feeling well lately but says they will be up very SOON! I think that’s all…I suppose I should just get to the update, huh?

These are the a little late but here they are! Seven ready to read DN’s! Seven’s a lucky number, isn’t it? Hope you all enjoy!

I’m Alive!

Posted under updates by MitsuiSelphie on Thursday 13 December 2007 at 11:41 pm

Yes peeps, I’m alive. I’ve ran into a bit of trouble — okay BIG trouble — since last time I posted. But I’m not dying and DOPAMINE isn’t going to die anytime soon. We’re just a bit delayed because November was a very, VERY bad month for the team and for me, in particular.

The good news is, I’m taking time off of work from the 17th which means you’ll be seeing my first Dream Novel since May this year. I plan to work writing tenipuri Dream Novels into my schedule on 2008 but I reckon it won’t be as frequent as I would like it to be since I’m currently the family breadwinner. I’m sure you guys will understand and will enjoy the teams’ PoT dream novels just as much.

With that said, we’ll have more than one update this December, of course. The first one, before the 20th, would be the updates meant for November. We’re hoping we’ll get the December updates up by the day after Christmas or so. I’ll also try to update one more time before my work resumes on January (you’ll understand what I mean when you see the PoT dream novels I wrote for the Kiriban requests).

I’d like to welcome all the new addition to the community. Please feel free to interact here. And yes, this IS an open community, you may send me your PoT Dream Novels to be posted. As someone who honed her writing skills through fan fiction, I encourage everyone to find and explore their creativity.

For submissions, questions and even writing advice solicitations, you can reach me at mitsuiselphie[@]gmail.com. I’ll reply ASAP when I get your tenipuri dream novels but I may not always have the time to guide you through the writing process or dole out writing advice. That doesn’t mean I’ll ignore you completely, it just means that it might take some time before I can send out a response.

As a parting advice, to those who’re interested in writing, vocabulary is of prime importance. And so, I leave you with our word for the day:

ap·pel·la·tive

1. a descriptive name or designation, as Bald in Jackal the Bald.
2. a common noun.

–adjective

3. designative; descriptive.
4. tending toward or serving for the assigning of names: the appellative function of some primitive rites.
5. pertaining to a common noun.

See you guys next week!
