In which Connie makes a shameless plug

Hm, time for a journal update, wot?

Hey guys, in case you haven't heard, my brother and I recently entered something called the Hobbit Fan Challenge, where you pick one of three scenes and recreate it. The winner and a friend get to go to New Zealand! That's pretty neat.

There's a whole slew of voting processes, and the first round is a fan-vote. If you would like to help my brother and me try to make it through, please consider visiting the Hobbit Fan Challenge website, and following these short and simple instructions my bro put together along with his striking rendition of Nori the Dwarf , and giving us a vote once a day from February 9th through February 13th!

EDIT ~ Voting round is now over. Thank you for your support!

And yah, yah, I've never made it a secret that yes, I'm just trying to get attention and votes for my bro and me. But please know I also respect your autonomy, for if you'd like to peruse the other 100+ videos and see all what's there. But again, for any of you lovely people out there that would like to help and send votes our way, follow that link and use those instructions and I guarantee you'll be in and out in under sixty seconds. Unless your internet is slow or your computer is sluggish. In which case, augh, dude, all of my commiserations. I know that feel, bro.

Meanwhile, I'm off to make more Hobbit Valentines; been plugging pretty hard with those. (Hey, I am nothing if not honest!) Hope you're all enjoying them regardless. As of this writing, the most recent one was Ori, but.... I think my favorite is still Dwalin.

Anyway.

Loves to you all, and thank you so much for your support!!
