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!

Hi kitty-chan, welcome to DOPAMINE! I’m slightly better now and would attend to finishing my Dream Novels in the next few days. Please expect the November updates to be up by December 5. And get well soon to you too!

Thanks Crazy and Wanna.Be for the well wishes!

Please do drop DeVeLicious of Endless-Dreamers a line too because she’s even more ill than I am. Get well soon Dev! I can’t live without chatting with you at least once a week T_T

Oh yes, to those who’ve forgotten, November is the Kiriban month! So we’ll be seeing the dream novels for Lilo’s and VoiDreamer’s requests. December, of course, is our Christmas-themed month. Don’t forget that DOPAMINE still welcomes guest PoT dream novels from our community so if you have some Christmas-themed dream novel ideas, send them to me by around December 15-20. The earlier, the better. ♥

Oh yes, do you guys want a forum? TELL ME so I can set one up.
