Updates, Awards, and other Misc. Stuff

Last update - 01-22-02
WARNING! For the next week or two, MOST or ALL of the pictures on this site will be DOWN. Do not email me about it! I know about it! I'm trying a different service so that I can conserve space so that the site will not crash as often! I will try to minimize the main page, but for the art galleries, thumbnails are *out of the question*. People with slow load times will have to deal with it. I am WAY too busy to even think about that. Besides, it means more work, and more storage space (each picture would have to be saved twice ><), and that's time I don't have. I barely have time to relocate all the pictures as it is. I have an exam tomorrow, so now I must study.

11-16-01
Hm... It's been awhile. Its been a very very busy while, though. I have about zip time lately to do anything. And yes, I know the site has been down a lot. While that's half my fault, its half yours too - too many people accessing the site at the same time overloads the data transfer, so they shut the site down.
Anyway, got some news. My exams are in one of the first weeks of December, and then after that... nothing till the next quarter starts up in January. And I'll be getting a new webpage tool to revamp my site on. So... hold off till December, I ask! Then, there will be a new layout, the fic contest will be updated (promise!!). The site might even move, cus I'm getting slightly tired of Geocities. Whether we're moving to our own site (*looks in wallet* okane, doko desu ka?), or to another free server, we have yet to see. But wait till December, and you'll start seeing some changes. Once I get the site revamped and stable once more, don't expect any more, if any, updates... I'm so out of the WK loop, even though I know they're making another TV series and the first was just released here. I'm tired of WK, and yes, I'll say it... I'm a bit tired of Yoji. But the site will be here! I want this site to stay up as long as possible, to help further the future WK generations on the first season Yoji, if nothing else.
Anyway, I now order all of you reading this to go out and download yourself some Pizzicato Five and Daft Punk, and then email this guy I really like and tell him so do something with me this weekend... or at least get me a good otanjobi present *pouts*

10-06-01
Argh! People!! Be careful with my baby!! So far I've gotten three emails from Geocities telling me that there is a high percentage of people using the site at the same time (lots of data transfer)! And therefore, they shut down my page for a little while - I'm sure some of you have noticed! Now, there are several solutions to this: I can somehow try to minimize the information on the page (but I really have very little time to do such a thing), or I can move the page to another server, or the possibility of my own domain. I don't mind doing the domain thing. BUT! I need a place that offers a cheap per monthly rate (not to succeed 20$ please!). I'm a poor student, but I would be able to afford my own domain for a little while. If you know of any place where I can buy a domain name and space for cheap, please let me know by emailing me!

I hate moving. It will take me forever to unpack >< And my mail isn't working. I can receive mail, it appears. But I can't send mail. If you emailed me awhile ago, your mail is being stored in another account of mine. If I can ever figure out my many email addresses and these sucky mail programs, I might be able to get back to some of you! I would just advise re-emailing me if it was important. My mail will be forever disrupted. I don't see myself recovering from this move for a very long time, so please be patient while I get my new computer organized. Then I can start thinking about reorganizing and redoing the page. But it might not be for many months! *sigh* I hate moving

9-13-01
First off, I want to say how appalled I am about this tragedy. How *DARE* someone do something so heartless, using a commercial plane as a weapon to destroy two buildings. It's sickening. And to the news... how sickening it is to show the footage of the plane flying into the building, over and over. Don't they realize that the more they show it, the more people see it, the more dessensitized we become towards violence? I watched the news the whole day of the tragedy. How many times did I see that footage? I can watch it without blinking an eye, and that's not a good thing. But still, I feel for all of those families and people and firemen and police. I live in the midwest, so I wasn't near the destruction, but still... it stopped business, school, and life on the day it happened; everyone was affected. My mind and heart are with everyone who suffered, and I wish them peace and prayers.
Update made. More pictures added to the Fashion Gallery (b/c of Ness's bugging ^_-), people added to the List, and more Obsessed reasons. I'll try to update the Contest page soon.

9-12-01
Hey hey hey hey hey! What day is it?

Velvet Underwear's 2nd Aniversary!

That's right! The Underwear has been around for two whole years! And here I thought it would never get past the firs few weeks. *throws confettii, pops poppers, passes out the hats* Thanks to everyone who made this possible! Look for an update in the next few days!
I'm moving on Sunday, so things may be a slightly jumbled for the next week. But I'll try to get some work done here and on the Fanfiction Contest page.
Thanks again to everyone who supports this site! You've kept it up and running for 2 years!

8-31-01
Velveteer Fanfiction Contest is now OPEN! Please use the link below to get to the Contest main page.

8-28-01
Whew! DDR sure can be a work-out some days! I suck horribly, only having just got the game, but still! One announcement, the Velveteer Fanfiction Contest will open on 8-31-01. That's right, this Friday! The Contest page will be posted on Friday for everyone to access.
Speaking of Fanfiction though - Remember my friend Rin who wrote The Trials and Tribulations of Shounen-Ai? Yes? Well he just added another fic on his site, As I Died Slowly, which is kind of in the same vein as Trails. Please check it out!
And for you slow modem people... (why does everyone have a slow modem? i'm on Cable and will be moving up to a T-connection soon... so i never have the slow loading problems most people have), the Underwear will be getting various make-overs, hopefully. The Art Gallerys and FanArt sections will be revamped (thumbnails should help you slow loaders!), and the Main Page redone. Since I am totally incompetent (and happy to let you slow modem people rot as you wait for everything to load, heh ^_-) I am having several wonderful graphics people help me out on this (or at least give suggestions ^_^). The revamp won't begin to happen till mid to late September, and it may take awhile to get organized. There may be days when whole sections of the site go down as I redo them. Please be patient with me! It will hopefully be much better when I am done!! Gives you slow people something to look forward to as the Art Gallery creeps its way onto your screen...

8-19-01
Oo, it's coming! Unfortunately, we have all of the judges picked out now. Thank you to everyone who emailed me about it. Everyone who applied for the judges has received an email concerning it. Once all of the official judges have replied, the contest will open! Thanks again to everyone!

8-17-01
Come one, come all! The Velvet Underwear is in the middle of designing a fanfiction contest (well, actually i'm in the middle of *lunch* but... ^^;;)!! The contest shall open shortly, as I try to collect judges and get prizes together. Speaking of though... Judges!! We need judges!! Some of you need to be over 18 years old, because we have Yaoi categories. Judges, at the moment, will not be able to submit fics! This may change, but if you want to be a judge, please remember that you may not be able to submit anything! You just get to relax and read good fics. Sounds good to me! ^_^ Depending on how many people apply to be judges, I may be telling people at early as tonight or tomorrow morning if you are a judge. Please look for an email in your box if you emailed me, and I'll let you guys know soon when the contest is opening!

8-14-01
Allo, allo! What's this? I'm back! Better than ever? Not quite. I've been sick since Saturday morning (ugggghhh...). Went to Otakon, came back from Otakon... Many stories to tell, which may get told if I ever get my sick self in gear and write them up. Somehow I managed to miss a lot of Weiss people too (i never saw one Aya... not one!), then again, I was sick and I had to stand in long lines and then I went and watched anime for 4 hours (go Fujiko!). But those that I did catch all knew my page (I feel... so special!). It still amazes me how big this page really is, or how many people recognize the name. I was hugged by one girl, told that another loved me, and told by another that I was a legend (is this page really that big? ^^;;). And I met the webmistress of the very first Yoji page out there, the one that inspired me to make this page (Black Angel... still a very good site). I still have to finish off my roll of film and then I'll get it developed. Who knows... maybe I'll even post my own cosplay pic up here ^_^ I'm actually quite surprised at myself for revealing myself to those few Weiss people. I usually like to keep things mysterious or very quiet, but now some people know who I am (^^;;). The con was good, although last year was better. I had fun cosplaying and having my picture taken by the few Macross fans I ran into. And it was great gettnig Midorikawa Hikaru's autograph, even if I didn't get to make the pannel *sigh*. Well, I'll try to tell more later.

8-08-01

There I am! Erm... that's my character! Watch out for me on Sunday at Otakon and don't laugh too hard ^^;;;;;;;;;;;

8-06-01
New story added - WeiB Rose by David Knight. An interesting cross-over!
BTW! If anyone is going to be at OTAKON please say hello if you see me! If you're cosplaying, I'll be sure to see you! ^_- I'm going to be taking pictures for the cosplay section on my site, and I plan on getting every Weiss cosplayer! Anyway, I'm going to be cosplaying myself on Saturday, as Misa from the original Macross (known as Lisa in Robotech), carrying around a Minmay doll I made myself ^_^ Feel free to shout out 'Lynn' or 'Misa'; I answer to both ^_^ (i'll probably be one of the only Macross cosplayers too!) See you there!

8-03-01

Shh... I just got back today. And bored as I was, I did some work on the page after trying to sort through over 200 emails! (about 20 were worth my time >_< damn junk mail) anyway, there's a new story added, Through the Glass, by mei-chan; a new fanart - the fourth picture in the White Shirt series *drools*; and a new Underwear picture

that's it for now! i may fool around with the music page later tonight... and thanks to Rin for taking over. he played around on my AIM. thankfully, i'm getting him set up with his *own*, so he's not using *mine* *sigh*

8-01-01
Hello! *nervous wave* My name is Rin, and I've been sitting in for Lynn while she's gone. I'm the author of the fic 'The Trials and Tribulations of Shounen-Ai', and Lynn's lending me space on her page to put up my other stories. I usually don't write fanfics, which is why my section will be seperate. I hope people will check it out when I put it up! I write a lot of original shounen-ai and yaoi stories ^^;; Lynn has been able to check her mail, and use her IM every now and then. She will be back by this Sunday. I really look forward to joining the Underwear!

LOOK! I finished my page today! Please check out my site! I have some shounen-ai, yaoi and many original stories housed here! And I plan on adding more in the future!

7-19-01
More fanart added! Please go check it out! And make sure to check out her site, too!

And look! I won some awards for my fics!

If you'd like to get more information about this year's fanfic contest, please refer to the link below!

7-17-01
Small update. Two new fanarts added - go check the gallery for them. Two new fanfics added, one by Satori, the other by Pretty Magic Girl Sammy. I'm going to do a Fashion Parade update when I get back from vacation, and I'm going to include seiyuu pictures now! I have a pretty good compliation of them, but if you'd like to send any in, please do so! Ja ne, and see you when I get back from vacation!

7-16-01
Well, let's see. My check book is up to date, my mail is way behind, and I really want those fansubs that I ordered a year ago to get here. *sigh* Oh well.
The High Priestess is going on vacation this Friday! Yaay! Nothing to worry about! Beach time, baby! Take this poor Aya-pale girl and stick her in the sun. So anyway... you got anything to send to me, do it now or when I get back (starting this Friday I'll be gone for almost a week and a half). I'm taking notebooks along and I might get some work done on a few WK short fics I've had bouncing in my head. And think... I've had this desire to draw lately! Will we see some of Lynn's work up here? The world will never know... Or maybe it will know when I get back. Nonetheless, I will be gone! I am trying to answer all of my mail before I leave, get little things done (additions to the fanart, List and Obsession), but not guarenteed! I still have mondo things to do before I can turn to email and page work.
In short, I'm going to be gone. And I'm going to enjoy it. A week without email... without annoying people on IM... without... without... Well, I should shut up before I starting naming names and offending people. Enjoy! I know I will.

7-12-01
HELP! So I uploaded all my files onto Streamload.com... but, erm... How do I share them without having to make everyone go sign up there? If there's a page out there that file shares using StreamLoad, please send me the link! I'm pretty clueless here... *major sweatdrop*

i'm such a loser...

7-06-01
Music section rules have changed concerning requesting songs. This will stay in effect until I re-upload my files elsewhere. I'm looking at StreamLoad, but this may take awhile for me to get running. In the meantime, if you are looking for a song, read the rules in the Music section. Also, the Main Page here may be getting a make-over soon! Now let's see if maybe I can re-do the other sections to make them spiffy too ^_-
We Belong to the light / We Belong to the thunder / We Belong to the sound of the words / We've both fallen under / Whatever we deny or embrace / For worse or for better / We Belong, We Belong / We Belong together

7-01-01
Fanart section updated! Woo hoo! Two new pages of fanarts for your viewing pleasure. Make sure you email the artist and tell them how good their work is, or you'll never see any other pictures by them! *wags finger* And remember! Send in Cosplay pics for the new section I hope to put up!!
We are young / Heartache to heartache we stand / no promises, no demands / love is a battlefield

6-30-01
Okay! One update done! 10 new fics added. They're all Rhole Hidaka's, because I've been asked to archive her fics. So go start reading! Picture update will be soon. I may post a few every day. I'd do it tonight, but... the Six Feet Under 4 episode marathon is on, and well... ^_^ I have plans.
Now Eep-Oop-Ork means I love you!

6-29-01
you are 18 year old girl / who live in small city of Japan / you heard me on the radio / about one year ago'
Working on getting the music section back up and running. Got a tip I still have to check out. Should be able to add a boatload of pictures and fics this weekend (if i can get my lazy bum moving). Someone sent me a Yoji cosplay pic, which will be posted in the Fanart gallery for the time being, but I want to encourage other people to send in Yoji cosplay pictures!! Any con, any WK characters! I'd love to be able to open a cosplay section! Please help out! ^_^ Send!

6-16-01 Idrive goes down on the 18th. Therefore the Music section is closed. I don't know if I'll be able to put it back up. I'd like to, so that WK fans have a way to access the music, since Napster is drowning and I know it can be hard searching around the Net to find the songs. If anyone can recommend a free server where music files can be stored, I will open the Music section back up. FreeDrive goes under in July, so that's not an option. Any help is much appreciated!

6-11-01
Want to read some bad poetry? Go to www.poetry.com, type in Lynn Kudou for authors, and read my bad stuff! Ehehehe... unfortunately they have this 20 lines limit, so most of my poems are in several parts. What can I say? My ideas are contained in 20 lines!

6-10-01
New link added. Go check it out! Some very sexy yaoi pics, and awesome pics in general! The site is still under some construction, but there's a lot of great content there already!!

I should be adding some new fanarts up soon too!

5-30-01
One fic added by Ayumi. Added some more obsessed reasons and people to the List. Moved Booty Call and Bare Essentials to the Newly Re-opened FANART gallery!! Finally, we have enough works to keep it open and up! Please send in submissions so they can be posted! Erm... I think that's all I did ^^;;

4-25-01
More fics!! 21 new stories added! Added Kat's 'Paradise Lost' and the sequel 'Alone Together'. Also added the *hilarious* fic, 'Uncle Yohji's Book of Love'! If you're not on the ML, this is the first place to post it other than the author's site! Check it out, it's great!

4-20-01
*shakes finger* The things I do for you people! I just added a few more songs and redid the music page a bit. And I touched up the fanfics page too, made it a bit easier to get from here to there. And hopefully I'll have a boatload of new fics to post on the page soon. I sure hope you people like this!!

4-19-01
Chapters Three and Four added to the on-going story, Shifted Lovers. Also, a Yoji-centered Mailing List has finally sprung up! Join 'Yohji Sweety' here:

Subscribe to Yohji_Sweety

3-26-01
One new fic added! Go check out Shifted Lovers by Jemie! It's on-going, so more parts soon!
By the way... anyone else out there in the relm of WK who just happens to like Arashi? ^^;; Just wondering...

3-10-01
Check it out!

98% of women are less bitchy than me. Isn't that nice? ^_^ I feel so... fulfilled, or something like that.

Happy Birthday Yoji!!


So it's that time of year again. Once more, Yoji Kudou turns 22. All over again. He'll never age. Have a Happy Yoji Day!

That Yoji obsessed? I can help. You can be Yoji all over if you want! This was brought to my attention by the lovely lady of the rubber chicken below. Go to Beauty.com and look for 'Yohji'. Yup, Yohji Yamamoto, famous Japanese designer. You can wear 'Yohji perfume', bathe with 'Yohji bath gel'. Go to Ebay and type in Yohji. You'll see clothes (although, they're in the hundreds ^^;;), sunglasses, perfumes and the works. Just from one humble Yohji/Yoji fan to the next ^_^

2-25-01

So I'm slow. Bite me.
It's a small update. I have no desire to do big updates anymore. Added some new people, some reasons to the obsessed list. Had to change servers for the music files, so instead of Driveway, they're on Idrive. Posted the absolute lovely picture that the mad cartoonist drew for me. Perfect to post since it's almost his birthday ^_^ Arigatou many times over!! Results of the quiz are in:

What do you dislike the most about Yoji?
-The fact that he smokes (Hey, it's anime! He won't die of lung cancer!) 34%
-His *cough* Lovely fashion style (Come on, we've all seen those outfits...) 13%
-That he hits on other women and not you (Oh the tragedy!!) 26%
-One word: Asuka (Hmf, no comment!) 16%
-His troubled past (Can't we all just be happy, genki characters?) 4%
-Seven, the car (It's worse than the Akio Car of Destruction! And uglier!) 7%

There you have it folks. I personally voted for the car. I hate Super Seven. Terribly ugly. Worse than the smokes. Well, maybe I'll have a few new updated things for Yoji's birthday, but I'm not counting on it.

1-07-01
New fic added! Stille Nacht: Christmas Night Watch. A short, but sweet, Aya fic. New links also added! I Dream of Yaoi and . A terribly funny site, so go visit!

01-02-01

Watashi no Kioku Tashika Naraba...


Tis the New Year! And a little late, but Happy New Year to everyone! Maybe this year will be better the last? (by the gods let's hope so! for me at least ^_^) I spent the first day ringing in the New Year by sitting in front of my TV watching the Iron Chef 24 hour marathon. Woo! Go Kobe! Kawaii! Wai Wai!!

12-19-00

*snicksnicksnick* Isn't the Mad Cartoonest one of the best? I *love* that! Something we'd all like to do anyway ^_- Many many thanks!! And I put my own Christmas card back up on the page. Happy Holidays to everyone!

12-17-00
Few obsessed reasons added, some new people added to the list, some new links added to the link page (Jade Eyes and Bloodstained Business Suit), and some new fics added: the rest of Crazy Times and a new fic called The Beautiful Stranger. If anyone is wondering, I will be maintaining the fic page, adding more stories and the like, so submissions are still being taken.

11-18-00
Very minor updates. Some people added, some obsessed reasons added, a link to a fic fixed (*stop* emailing me about it people, i *know* that it's broken!).
Here's the big thing though. I'm sure everyone's noticed that I don't really update anymore. Why? Because I just don't care. There's nothing more to really do with this page. And so, I'm pretty much not going to work on it anymore. I'll still be around to fix links, update the Obsessed list, and add people to the Shrine List, but other than that, I'm not going to do anything. It's been over a year since I've gotten into Weiss, and while I still like it a lot (the drama cd's and the OAV's more than the tv series), I'm just not into it like I was. And so, I move on.

10-26-00
Yes, I know all of my counters have stopped working, if anyone else has noticed. Geocitites decided to go and switch the counter HTML on us without telling, so I didn't know until today. I changed it so that it works, with, hopefully, around the number of people who were here. I think I might actually be up over 16,000, but, oh well *shrugs*.

10-11-00
Contest results *finally* posted! Yes, yes, I know. I've been busy lately! *Very* busy!! I still have to write that essay that was due more than a week ago... *major sweatdrop, huge sigh*
9-24-00
One new Underwear added. Two series by Rhole Hidaka, Crazy Times and One Week. Sugoi!

9-19-00
Two new Underwears up, One new Clothing. Terribly day, bad day. >_<

9-18-00
One new fic added, I.R.S. by Lyra and Moonsong. Terribly funny indeed ^_^ And I apoligize to everyone who mailed in submissions for the YKYOWYW and new followers. I've been so slow in adding you, but it's been done!!

9-16-00
The results are up! Submissions have been sent. Doesn't this mean that *you* should design some Underwear or Clothes too? 'Booty Call' goes to the Underwear, 'Bare Essentials' to the Clothing.

9-12-00
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

HAPPY ONE YEAR, VELVET UNDERWEAR!


Happy Birthday to you!!!

Yes, it's my one year!! Yaaaaayyy!!! *waves lil 'Success' flags* I have made it through one whole year without having to shut down or having to neglect the page for too long. And now we have teh Underwear to prove it! Get your creativity in order and start planning for the Underwear contest!!

8-27-00
New fics by Deena added - Something New, Raspberry and Lime Shampoo, Dancing Towards Obscurity, and Waking Onto Latern's Bright. One new page of Fashion pics added to the Fashion Parade section. Counter reached 14,000 visitors!

8-26-00
New name banner at top! Brought the Schwarz/Schrient page out to the front, under Darkness. The 'Real' World section is a bunch of spoilers trying to detail the series, from TV to radio dramas, to characters pasts. Yoji Bio page got tweaked a bit. Moved the award below, the Farshmellow award, and the Yoji certificate down below to the Updates page! And added this wallpaper by Sumire. Isn't it pretty? Speaking of Sumire, the rest of her Blood Roses fic is finally up. Go read, go read!!


Done by Sumire.

8-16-00

Look, I won an award!! Yaay! I love the lil chibi's up in the corner too ^_^ But the whole thing is ka-yute!! Thank you very much, o mad cartoonist!
lemme see, a new part to Phantasie added. Yoji certificate added below, i'll add three new fics tonight, two by Sumire, one by NightMajik. that's it for now, i believe...


I married him and took him home! ^_^ Arigatou to both Ayame and Sumire!

8-12-00
Music page got a new face. Two new pics added to the Fashion Parade. Please send me more! That way I don't have to break the spine to my artbook!! New parts to 'Ken's Stalker' added. New terms added to the glossary of terms.

8-11-00
Heyo! Lots of new links added! Remember, if you don't want your link here (why not?) then just tell me and I'll take it down!

New graphic added to the top of the Fanfics page. It's actually very cute ^_^ I have to go pack now, because I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 7 for OTAKON!! Yaay for me! On Saturday, I'll be wearing my High Priestess Lynn-chan shirt (yes, I have one ^_-), so if you're a Weiss fan, say hello!
