My first entry into the journals of this club - oh my!

First, I'd like to apologize for the club's inactivity in the last couple of months - We've all had so much going on in our personal lives, and it seems that our job commitments seem to spike at the same time as personal issues do.

I'll be personally approving and submitting the backlog over the next week, since I've hit a lull in my other commitments. Of course, bear with me - I have 259 submission notes to go through, approve and/or reply to, and then submit if they meet the group's criteria!

As an aside, I'd like to bring your attention to $FallenRox - an excellent photomanipulator, who's recently moved up on the dA ladder from the position of Film Director, way up to Assistant Director of Artist Relations! It's reassuring to see a member of the site's manip community in such a position, and I'm sure we have great things to look forward to from her!

Final reminder, PLEASE do not fav the group submissions! Go to the original piece and fav there! At this time, there are over 200 group-favs that have to be dealt with, which will be time-consuming and in other circumstances could lead to a drop-off of submissions.

Thanks for your support, guys and ladies - without you, this club would be nothing.

Just so you manipulators know, there is a fun contest being run by @leaf-lover for a manipulation for a hypothetical album cover. Subscriptions to be won, and it'd be a great way to increase your publicity. More info at this news article.
