>July, 8 2008 11:40 AM<Just a few updates to mention. First off, we now have a new affiliate!

now has Gardevoir's Sanctuary listed under their Anime/Manga category! Maybe this will help more fans of Gardevoir find this place, eh?
As for the fan-fiction library, after receiving some comments on the newsletter about this, I've decided to allow an Ages 13+ rating as the absolute maximum. However, the following rules still apply:
1. The story must contain no adult content (IE: Sex scenes, nudity, ect.) Romance is okay, but only to a point.
2. Excessive profanity is not allowed in the story. Think of a PG-13 level of profanity at the very most or occasional swearing.
3. Excessive violence is also not allowed. (IE: Graphic violence, gore, etc.) A PG-13 level of violence at the very most.
4. This story must also contain no romantic Pokemon/Human relationships.
There. Will that work better?

Well, see you all later!

>July, 7 2008 3:40 PM<Hello everyone!

Let's start with the results of last week's tie-breaking vote.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This means that "PKMNGijinkaProject+Gardevoir+" By
[link] is the new Weekly Featured Deviation! Best of all, the artist has even given permission for this drawing to be featured in this club!

Please be sure to check out the new featured Deviation, these other excellent drawings below as well as the additions to the Fan-Art Archive. Maybe even leave some Comments or add to your Favorites as you go.

>Nominations Are Now Underway!<As always, with the start of another new month, it is time for all members of this club to consider who the next Monthly Featured Artist should be.

Now, this special honor is only for people on DeviantArt who have at least 3 great drawings or even comics that feature Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir and/or even Gallade.
If you know anyone that you think should be featured, please send me a DA note telling me who you think I should have featured in Gardevoir's Sanctuary. You should also provide at least 3 links to some of the artist's work for other people to compare when the voting for the Monthly Featured Artists begins later this month.
Now, there are a few additional rules that must be followed.
1. The artist of your choice must not have any ecci or hentai in their gallery
2. The artist of your choice must not have any artwork that is hateful to the Ralts line
So please send me a DA note with the artist of your choice. There is plenty of time to do this as this Nomination Event is going to be open until July 21st 2008, 12:00 PM Pacific Time.
If you have any questions about how nominations work, feel free to ask me and I'll be glad to help you.
Note: A good place to hunt for great Ralts line fan-artists are the collection of Weekly Featured Deviations as well as the Fan-Art archive.

If anyone has an idea for the next Monthly Featured Story, also please send me a DA note and I'll consider your suggestion. Just please be sure to follow these rules when considering your suggestion:
1. The story must contain no adult content (IE: Sex scenes, nudity, ect.) Romance is okay, but only to a point.
2. Excessive profanity is not allowed in the story. Think of a PG level of profanity at the very most or occasional swearing.
3. Excessive violence is also not allowed. (IE: Graphic violence, gore, etc.) A PG level of violence at the very most.
4. This story must also contain no romantic Pokemon/Human relationships.
Sorry if you think these guidelines are so strict, but I aim to keep things quite clean around here, okay?

>Time Is Running Out on the 1st Gardevoir's Sanctuary Fan-Art Contest<I have no updates to report on new entries in the current fan-art contest, which is starting to worry me a bit at this point. Currently, the Serious Comic, Amusing Comic and The Doctor's Challenge categories are completely empty! I hope that will change as things come to a close.
Remember, the last day entries will be accepted is July 31st. Judging shall begin on August 1st, so there is no leeway at all for late entries.
>To All Judges<I'm having a difficult time remembering who I choose, so please give me a memory refresher on this. I can't seem to locate the DA notes concerning this matter so I really need your help, please.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>A New Idea<Well, as you may have noticed, there are currently no fan-fictions in the Favorites section of this club. I think I have an idea that will rectify this quite nicely.
I'm going to create a Journal Entry titled "The Gardevoir's Sanctuary Fan-Fiction Library" in which links and synposies (If Avilable) and Ages Ratings will be provided to all the known and decent fan-fictions our there on DeviantArt that feature the Ralts line.
I'm going to need some help with this project as I am not aware of many fan-fictions on DA that not only feature the Ralts line Pokemon, but are also clean to some extent.
If you know of some stories that you think should be added to this new Library, please send me a DA note. The criteria for the story is the same as for the Monthly Featured Story.
1. The story must contain no adult content (IE: Sex scenes, nudity, ect.) Romance is okay, but only to a point.
2. Excessive profanity is not allowed in the story. Think of a PG level of profanity at the very most or occasional swearing.
3. Excessive violence is also not allowed. (IE: Graphic violence, gore, etc.) A PG level of violence at the very most.
4. This story must also contain no romantic Pokemon/Human relationships.
A link to the fan-fiction library would be present near the top and near the bottom of each Weekly Newsletter.
So, what do you all think of this idea?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>The Weekly Voting<As usual, a new newsletter means it's time for another round of voting where all members get to choose which out of a group of drawings will become the next Weekly Featured Deviation.

Here are the nominees, in no particular order:
#1 "PKMN-EM,D: Gardevoir-Driftblim" By
[link]#2 "Pokemon No.282 - Gardevoir" By
[link]#3 "Gijinka Kirlia" By
[link]#4 "Gardevoir love" By
[link]Please send me a DA note saying which one of these drawings you think should be featured in the club next Monday.

Please remember that only members of Gardevoir's Sanctuary may participate in any voting or nomination event.
>This Voting Event Will Expire on July 11th, 2008 at 1:30 PM Pacific Time<----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>New Members!/In closing...<I can only confirm two new members at this point. Please be sure to give them a warm welcome.


and quite a pleasant surprise, the artist who drew this week's Featured Deviation,

!
Well, that's all for now.

You all have an excellent week and I hope that we wind up with at least 5 entries in each category of the 1st Gardevoir's Sanctuary fan-Art Contest. See you all later!

Eccentricity breeds creativity. The opposite of Eccentricity is normality. Normality breeds unoriginality, dullness, monotony, lifelessness.
That said, until the world's view of normal gets a little less normal, I'll gladly remain as crazy as I am now!
