Still getting used to the site, so if you have any tips, that'd be awesome! We could hang out in the chat, or I can take suggestions from you guys! Fun times will be had by all.

So I've been missing in action from this little blog of mine for a couple of weeks now, right? Looks like I've got some explaining to do.
Sam and I are on summer break, and it's been pretty good so far. I've been practicing a lot of figure drawing and a more realistic art style for my AP art portfolio. I've recently got this awesome volunteering job at a famous art museum. I'm trying to figure out how to use Flash for animations. 
And yet, I'm hardly posting anything. I'd like to apologize for not answering your wonderful comments, or answering all your questions quickly, and especially not posting any new TRG pictures. The thing is that I have stacks upon stacks of pictures I worked on to post every Sunday, but never ending up doing so because I didn't think it was good enough. 
I know some of you will say it's okay and I should go at my own pace and post whatever and whenever I feel like it, but you deserve the best quality work from me. So, sorry for being MIA for such a long time. I should just be more motivated to make my pictures the best they can be. 

Okay, chat over.
On the other hand, you can always check Tumblr for more frequent updates and silly doodles! Ask us a question or two or just drop us a little note to say hi! thatoneothernpc.tumblr.com

Huggles,

Whoa. WHOA. WHOA.

Wait, when did we break the 800 watchers mark? Regardless, I want to thank you all SO much! Sam and I truly thought we'd stop getting more fellow NPCs at around 100 watchers, but who knew we'd get all the way to over 800?! Couldn't have done it with you, of course! :love:

Now, there's absolutely NO WAY that I'd do a watcher special again, but do you guys have an suggestions for a 800 watcher special? I'd like to thank you guys for sticking with us, so send us an idea!

Thanks again, to our fellow NPCs, new and old! :dalove: I absolutely love you all!

Hello, all! We here at ThatOneNPC Headquarters (AKA: our basement) wanted to start off the year with something we've never done before and always wanted to try: A CONTEST!

What you have to do:
Write a small story/ficlet/fanfiction about any RunawayGuys picture we've done of your choosing (on DA or Tumblr), linking your finished product back here and linking the picture you based it off of in the description. The story SHOULD NOT be some seven chapter long saga or merely describe what's going on in the picture/comic. It must...
- Be only ONE chapter/page long.
- Submit your story as a text piece and put the URL in the comments down below.
- Every picture is completely up to your interpretation, but try to stick to the picture's theme.
- DO NOT put your idea of what you want as a picture in the comments. WE will contact YOU for your idea if you won.
- Be creative! We're leaving the plot up to you, so making it something good!

Also, I like funny stories. Just sayin'.

The winner get their idea for a TRG picture in full color and put up as that week's picture for everyone to see!
TWO RunnerupGuys will get their ideas as line art on Tumblr.

Submission date is January 22nd. All late entries will not be eligible.
The following Sunday's picture will be the winner's idea!

Ready! Set! Write!

~Jen and Sam

PS: Don't get discouraged if you don't write much, submit away! It'll be a lot of fun and we'd love to see what creative things you all come up with! :D



EDIT 1/23/13: Thank you to everyone who submitted a story! NO NEW SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE CONTEST. All entries will be considered equally and results posted on Sunday. Winners, be on the lookout for a message from us!
