Earth Rotates

Happy Holidays Everyone!

2010-12-29T01:27:00.000-08:00

Hello guys!

Sorry, I haven't been updating frequently. Ah, I always apologise on every new blog post. So, how has everyone been? Enjoyed your Christmas? Did you get any cool pressies? My Christmas wasn't very entertaining or amusing, really. But I do hope everyone else got an awesome one. Wouldn't want to wreck or spoil people's fun, would I?

Our lovely affies took their time to make these posters. They're lovely people. Do look around and request from them if something meets your eye.

Okay! Finished! Clicking on the posters/banners should direct you to the site that made them. There isn't much to say around here on Earth Rotates. Maybe I should make a new layout? But everyone knows how I suck at them. It's Summer here where I live. How about you guys? The sky's purple and pink now and it looks lovely.

During the time I was 'away', I've done quite a lot in my own field. Satisfaction is that I feel. But now it's the holidays where I live now and sleeping in and learning is the best way to be now!

I've gathered a whole lot of SuYin fics in this list. Uh, visit when you can? Do go to AFF to post your fic and make friends. It's the fastest growing community for Asian fanfiction. Enter JNSTERosity challenges too! They're fun and you can win SNSD stickers and a KPOP CD of your choice.

I guess that's all for now. I'll try and update more. Bye bye everyone!

Enough Staff

2010-10-30T02:50:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody!

I think we have enough staff right now, including one-shot staff. But it seems as though people don't want to reply to post up their reviews. Really disappointing actually. Business hasn't been really good here because of the lack of advertising. Well, I just don't have time. It would be nice if someone were to apply.

There are two Halloween Gifts kindly given to us by our affies.

I am very thankful for it. And, since I make really bad graphics, what's the point of letting other people see it?

Well, now, I have a little advertising to do for SuYin. That's me.

So, there is a SuYin Secret Santa and you are free to give anything you want. It doesn't have to be SuYin related. It's just for Christmas.

SuYin Secret Santa 2010

Of course, her generosity is very much appreciated by advertising our site on the front page.

Go visit jnstr at her site. Seriously, she does amazing layouts! Though she doesn't make layouts for request but her layouts are amazing! Also, visit her challenges, Jnsterosity Challenges before you go anywhere. Please? Thank you!

What now? I'll add some things later. Maybe. I guess that's it. Do visit again and request! I'm really proud to have my graphic designers. They are really good. Check the examples in the Staffs page. In it, it includes their profile, fanfics and examples of their work, either fanfics for one-shots or artwork for posters. Do request because we have not seen ONE request for posters here at all. Thanks guys!

We Need Staff!

2010-09-28T21:37:00.000-07:00

Hi, everyone!

Well, if my staff know, I have sent them an email, telling them to reply in order to continue being staff. It's been three days, the time I allowed them, and I only have four staff left, excluding me. So, we're lacking staff right now, not that we have any reviews and one-shots to do. We need request! And two of our only reviewers are seriously busy with school work and may only help some time. This is my school holidays so I can enjoy the time but once it ends, I need way more staff. Actually, I need staff now! Also, we really need Advertisers. It's okay if you're not experienced. I just need staff!

Before we go on, I want to thank jnster for advertising our site. So, I'm going to link you to her challenge. Don't forget to enter! I entered but I don't think I did well. I have such bad artwork. So, enter her challenge! Remember! It's fun! Jnsterosity Challenges!

I need about one or two more graphic designers so I can officially open the Graphic Request but since I only have one staff for it, it's impossible. For this, I have to say, yo need to be experienced. It doesn't really matter what program you use. As long as you are able to create graphics that don't look like they are made in Paint and you are able to successfully cut around the edges of a person then you are qualified. Well, there this skill I'm trying to acquire but I still haven't though that is the only thing you need to be able to do(besides knowing how to make the poster).

For reviewer, you really don't need experience. All you need to know it what a review is and how to make one. Always remember, when making a review for Earth Rotates, that you make a review for them to improve. It's always improve! And, you need to use our template provided in the Review Request.

One-shot writers need good punctuation, grammar and spelling. And creativity too. And, if you are unable to work, then don't apply. I only need people who are willing to work, under pressure if necessary but that won't happen.

So, feel free to request and apply! i can still work it our between the staff I have now so request! Or I might as well close Earth Rotates. I don't want to and I never thought that I would but I might have too.

The reason I contacted my staff and make them reply is because when there was a review to be done, I asked one of my staff and she didn't reply. So I got suspicious and cautious so here I am now. Give us a chance to serve you guys!

Thank you.

My Camp Trip!

2010-09-12T00:18:00.000-07:00

As some of you know, I went to a school camp. It was an amazing experience so I wanted to share what I did with you guys. I went to Canberra, the capital city of Australia. I live in Australia, yes, but not in Canberra. But to be honest, Canberra is way prettier than the city I live in. The following pictures aren't mine, 'kay?

Monday

Frankly, we had to go on a bus to get to Canberra. Smart. So in total, it took us about eight hours to arrive in Canberra. On the way to Canberra, I wrote a little more on my story, The Significance of One. I slept a for less than half an hour. We listened to music that the others' brought. On the way, I saw many rainbows. I saw two rainbows at the same time. It was so close! It felt like I could actually reach for it and grab it. It was so amazing.

Later on, we arrived at the motel. It was Sundown Motel. It was actually very clean. The teachers gave us instructions and we left for our cabins. It was so clean and awesome there! There were five beds. The beds were a bit cheap though. There were four bunks and a double bed inside another room. But there were only four of us in a cabin. We decided that the two year 5's will sleep in the double bed together while the two year 6's will sleep on the bunks alone. I slept at the bottom of a bunk on the right side. There was a bathroom in each cabin with a heater and an conditioner in each room. There was a TV but the teachers took out the cables and turned off the electricity. We got ready to eat dinner! We did make rules. We weren't allowed to use other's toiletries and we had to set up who will take a shower in the morning and in the evening. Everyone took a shower in the morning so I took it in the evening, the time when I always take a shower. I get all the hot water! Too bad that we don't get seconds for dinner. Dinner was like delicious but I forgot what we ate. We slept earlier than everyone else so we got a good night's sleep.

Tuesday:

We woke up early and got ready to go. We ate breakfast. I eat a lot even though I'm not that fat. I got seconds. My breakfast consisted of two sausages and two toast. My Mum even said that I looked skinnier after my trip back. Seriously, I ate a lot for breakfast. I spread Vegemite and butter onto my toast. Delicious!

We went around the embassies in Canberra. There wasn't one for Vietnam but at least there was one for China, the country where I also come from. The boys were so funny but mean. They wanted the bus to crash with the bridge we go under. The bridge was like 2.2 meters or somewhere near that. Thats just not smart at all. If the bus does crush, they will be the one who will be inflicted damage the most since they were sitting at the front on the top of the double decker. These boys are just the smartest, aren't they?

We went into Parliament House. We had a little snack and went around. I know most of you don't live in Australia so you might not even know about our Parliament House. It really was a big place. At that time, we also had the elections where you might not know too. Since Julia Gillard (Labor) and Tony Abbot(Liberal) votes had close scores, we couldn't count it. Our system in Australia is different. We don't just count to see whose votes are higher and then make them Government. In Australia, they have to receive more than half of the votes to be able to become Government. So, if the votes were Julia Gilard: 10 and Tony Abbot: 5, then Julia Gillard will be made Government but if the votes were to be Julia Gillard: 7 and Tony Abbot: 5, then that will take on another course. Each party had to get 76 seats from all the members of parliament which means the people you voted for. In my case, my parents would have voted for Nicola Roxon to represent them. She will then chose her seat, which is Government with the Opposition as Liberal. The two parties have to have 76 seats to finally be Government.

On that exact day, they were going to announce who was Government because the Greens or the Independents, I don't know who, announced which side they were going to chose. Unfortunately, we weren't there since we had to leave earlier.

We got one of those education programs and we were taught how to pass a bill. Which means how to make a bill(not a law yet) and turn it into a law. We went into this room that wasn't the House of Representatives nor the Senate but the seats were arranged similarly. I went in and just chose a seat but then I realised the seat was the Liberal Seat so I immediately changed and moved across the room to Labor. We tried to pass a law(fake) about not letting animals be in the Circus. Of course, as the Opposition, they had to disagree. But this was simple because we did role play and there were scripts for us. I think we were in the House of Representatives first. We went through all procedures but some of the Government members betrayed us. But we won anyway! But the bill still hasn't become a law yet. The program conductor gave Opposition more members this time so making the bill a law isn't that easy now. They had more members than us now. Another one of our members betrayed us. But the conductor said that you couldn't go to Opposition if you were in Government. There was an alternative though. Usually, when there it is time to pass a law, all the members will be called. If you come late then you are not allowed to enter. You have four minutes. If you are late, then your vote will no longer be considered. When the parties were close to the number needed, the Independents and the Greens had to choose. They all chose us so we won again! Another victory!

We had a tour of the Parliament House. We went to visit the House of Representatives and the Senate. It was amazing and it was giant! It was so cool! Only if there was some action and debating there. That would just be so awesome! We learnt that the longest serving Government was Robert Menzies. There was another Government that disappeared in the water and we never found him again.

We went to the National Capital Exhibition next. The speaking model they showed us was amazing and we learnt a lot. Canberra was a planned city. The planner was Walter Burley Griffin and Lake Burley Griffin was named after him. His partner, his wife, was the drawer of the plan. Lake Burley Griffin is man made but it does look wonderful.

We learnt a bit about the High Court on the visit. It was huge. There was suppose to be seven judges in a High Court. The judges were allowed to change anything they want. But of course, with the approval of all judges. They say that you have to wait for at least a couple of months before your everything decided which is going to take a long time. I might have to go there one day.

We went to visit National Gallery of Australia. All the paintings were wonderful. We went to see most of the Australian artist ones. Some of them, I didn't like. My favourite one was an Aboriginal one. It was made out of natural materials. The paint, the everything. It left with me with a deep memory. In the gallery, you had to carry a stool to sit on. It was bothering to do but at least you can sit while the tour guide talks and not having to stand there.

Wednesday

The Government House was beautiful! It was amazing! Just so you know, Government House is Australia's Governor General's house. It was so big and prestigious. We met Lieutenant Philip. He told us about the Governor General. He said he even met Prince Charles! Thats just amazing! Then, we had another tour guide. He showed us around the dining table where the people who the Governor General invites eat with her. The plates are made of 10 or even more carat gold. I don't remember. We went around the place. But I went out with a really bad mood. The teachers didn't let us bring digital cameras. I really wanted Mum to see what I saw. You take pictures because you want the person that looks at your work to see what you see, feel what you feel.

The Royal Australian Mint was kind of boring. It was self guided, that's why. The part that kept me amused for a little while were the weird and faulty coins and the history of the Royal Australian Mint. It allows you to look down and view what the people do to make coins. It's nothing at all. It's even like lunch break that time. Only a few people were there and they did basically nothing at all. We went to the gift shop down there and all the stuff were expensive! For those of you who haven't gone to the Royal Australian Mint, you would not believe this. For three dollars, you can mint your own new one dollar coin. The catch; you don't really mint your own one dollar coin. All you do is, insert three dollars, press and button and viola, a new one dollar coin will come out. How cheap is that? I was nearly tempted to make one but I didn't. It's a waste of money for a person who does not collect coins. Besides, I can easily ask my Mum to bring home a new 2010 one dollar coin home since she works as a cashier. My Mum can just ask her boss. The Royal Australian Mint Gift Shop are cheapskates.

The National Portrait Gallery was fun! The portraits were amazing. Here, you still have to use stools but these stools are much more easier to carry as they hang on your shoulder like a hand bag though it does hurt sometimes. There is this portrait of someone that I didn't really like. I'm not saying it's bad. The painter is really good but just the person in there isn't my ideal kind of thing. It actually scared my off a bit. Afterwards, we were supplied pencils and paper to draw what we had to do. It was really fun to do so. You only got three minutes to draw it and then move onto another seat to draw the same sculpture but at a different angle. But thing is, we had to draw another picture and I did horrible. It looks ugly.

The last place we went that day was the National Museum of Australia was quite fun but not that fun. Basically, all we did was split into groups of five and go around with a camera and one person only gets one picture. They then have to write about the picture. There are placards that have information on it and you can refer to that. I chose to do about Nguyen Tam Minh. He created the Dan Tre, which means 'bamboo guitar' in English. Maybe I chose him because he was Vietnamese. The Dan Tre is awesome! It can play almost any song you wish. Of course, it's manual so you must know how to play it yourself. It doesn't play for you. I got to learn a bit about the first car in Australia. It was a Holden. It was test driven for two years before they put it on the market. It was made to suit Australian roads. In the olden days, of course.

Thursday

Today was the last day at Canberra. Time sure flied past fast, doesn't it? I think so too. I kind of missed Canberra and was reluctant to part with it but still, I miss my Mum more. I would rather be home actually.

The first place we went to was Questacon. It was really fun. Basically, Questacon was like Science Works. I'm not sure if you guys have heard of it yet. It was really awesome but unfortunately, I didn't get to go on to the Free Fall. I'll just have to some day. The Circus place was the funnest. It had everything of Circus in there. Well, not literally but it was more than you could ask for. There's this thing where you put your head underneath and there will be a slit to cut your throat. Once again, not really. It's just sound effects. It tests your level of bravery. Seriously, if you just stood there to watch for the first time, you will get a fright. There was a slash sound and it totally frightened me. Even if I wasn't the person under the thing. It says that it and the Free Fall tests your bravery but to be honest, I think the Free Fall is fun, not scary. I didn't buy anything there since I wanted to buy something that I would use, that is in my budget and something that I can only find in Canberra but it can be something found in other countries though. The things they sell were just experimental things. Really, you can buy it just anywhere and maybe that anywhere would be cheaper. There was this key chain that said Questacon but it didn't fall into my conditions. I wouldn't use it at all. What a waste of money if I were to buy it. I decided I would buy something at the War Memorial.

The War Memorial was a must go place. It was calm and nice. It brought the memories and the feelings of soldiers to it's visitors. It showed us what it would be like during that time. How devastating. But also, how happiness was found deep down in the devastation. Many soldiers sacrificed their lives for their country, Australia, and some came home but most didn't. Their parents must have cried a stream for those who didn't return. A normal, peaceful and happy family was ruined because of war. They could have been living happily but no, they chose to sacrifice for their country. Brave soldiers, young hearts. That time must have been a time where God tested bravery of each and every person. That time though, it cost many young souls. Thats why, we have a the War Memorial, to remember them and thank them for what we have today.

At the War Memorial, I bought, finally, a gold digger's hat key chain. I wanted to buy at least something for Mum. That key chain, for now, will be in my possession until Christmas. It's a Christmas present for Mum I bought all they way from Canberra. I bought a poppy but I didn't have time to place it on the names on the wall. I wanted to place it on the name of the person that went to war and died in it from my family. He was my grandfather's older brother. I want to thank him. If not for him and many other Vietnamese soldiers, Vietnam may not be what it is now. I am proud to have someone in my family that went to war, put his life on line for Vietnam but I'm also sad that he had to die in it.

The last activity of the day is at the Australian Institute of Sport. We got free a lanyard and a pen! The only place that gave us something free out of the many places we visited!

There was a place where there were simulators. It was called a Sportex. I came in and the first thing I did was try and shoot a ball in the basketball hoop. I tried twice and got it in. I moved on to the Soccer place. There was a screen and you had to kick the ball though you can't see it. It uses a sensor to know that you kicked and whether you would get a goal or not. It was fun! I went to try how high I could jump. I jumped and it showed me I could jump 4.00 meters or something. I'm not sure. Though, I don't think it's true. Or maybe it's just me. I don't remember so I just took out what I remembered. Then there was this bicycle thing. It was so tiring and I couldn't even do one lap. I'm so weak. We were taken to a Gym where there were some gymnastics training for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. There were junior boys there too. They were amazing. But there was one that was showing off. He just stood in the middle of no where and did a back flip. It was funny because the girls said that he was showing off. We went to a Volley Ball court. The games there were awesome. I was so attached to it. Too bad there were nets that blocked our perfect view. Then we went to this place. I don't remember what it's called but it's like a gym. There were people training. It was seriously boring in there. Last of all, they showed us a swimming area and it was huge. We watched a three minute documentation. It was interesting but I've forgotten all the contents. The swimming place was surprisingly warm. Usually at swimming pools, it would be so cold that you would even hesitate to even put your toe in. This is different. You feel like you just want to jump and go for a swim. Though it was quite late for them to be training. It only was the beginning of Spring so the sun went down at five something. It was really dark.

It was time to go so we said byes' and thank yous'. One of our tour guides, who was an athlete too, told us that we were lucky to be able to see so many action. Usually, when schools come, they would see an empty hall or gym. I don't know whether to say we're lucky or not. There was like two more schools there too.

We returned and I tried to find where our cabin was. Me and my cabin mate kept searching and we were drenched in the soft rain. Usually, the bus was at the other end of our cabin but this time, it was really close, leading us to be confused. But finally, we arrived back to our cabin.

Friday

Last day of camp. I was kind of reluctant to go but I came with tears at the rim of my eyes from missing Mum. I woke up at five seventeen from the sounds of talking from the people in my cabin. I pushed myself to wake up and finally made myself get ready. The whole cabin was ready before six.

After eating, we got on the bus to prepare for our nine hour trip back. I decided to sit on the bottom since the only seat available on the top of the double decker is the seat close to the back. I've never had motion sickness but I am afraid that I might vomit because of sitting too far back. Also, Mum told me to sit at the front because it was better.

Going through many climates and hours, we finally reached school. We were back an hour earlier so I had to wait for my Mum to pick me up at five, as the teachers told us that we would be back at school at five. I walked up to the office, asking them to call my Mum. After they did, I was bored of waiting so I went outside and a few of my class mates were playing with a foot ball. Being a person that likes to play sport, I rushed down and asked if I could play. We were playing Markers Up. A teacher of the other class came to join us ans kicked the ball for us to catch because we were such bad kickers. A couple of more people joined and played. It was really fun until a boy come and said the ball belonged to him. Our fun ended but we had an alternative! One of use had a stress ball and the fun started once again! It was really funny as I dived for the ball whenever it came in front of me. I just spread my arms out straight and ran for the ball but, amazingly, I caught it nearly every time. There was this guy that was playing too and he stood behind me. The ball just got thrown and I put my hand up and caught it. I was off guard a bit but managed to capture it. It was really fun! We played for about an hour until our parents came to pick us up. I came home with a smile in my face. What a fun day! I caught the ball a couple of times! I was so happy!

That's the end of my five day trip to Canberra! Hope you enjoyed it!

Bad Day Today

2010-08-23T03:53:00.000-07:00

Chao, ban!

The title says it all. I had a terribly bad day today that I even cried. Yes, I cried. I'll tell you about it, to lash anger out too.

Today, my school had Athletics. I wanted try and I got a spot for Shot Put. Since my event is near the end, I had a lot of time to watch people compete. When I went into the Athletics, I only wanted to gain points for my school. But, after I watching so much people play, I got another goal. I wanted a ribbon. Even if it's last place ribbon. I got jealous of the people and yes, I did admit it and I really wanted a ribbon myself. I warmed up so much, bringing my hopes up so high that I would get at least something. It was finally my event. I couldn't wait. I pushed my Shot Put when it was my turn but in the end? I only got four meters. I didn't even get close to a ribbon and Shot Put was my only event. No more chances for me to get a ribbon. This was my last year in Primary. My hopes were crushed. I just wanted a mere ribbon to show to my Mum that I at least could do something. Even if it's last place. I will have at least a souvenir. Just a simple ribbon. All I needed but in the end I came home depressed.

It's not my fault that I can't go into any running events. If my leg weren't to hurt when I ran when I was grade three, I could have been pretty fast but too bad. My leg had to hurt every single time. My leg no longer hurts but that doesn't mean I can run fast. I din't want to cry in front of the people from my class. Even though the boys in my class won't tease me, since the whole class has a tight relationship, I don't want to be show everyone my weak side. I came home and I cried. I couldn't stop. Just a ribbon. That's all. I should've known not to raise my hopes up too high. Because when I fall, it will really hurt. I would never think to steal someone else's ribbon. I wanted a ribbon that I could earn myself. Earned with all the efforts. If someone were to give me a ribbon, I would never accept it. They earned it while I didn't.

I was so jealous of everyone. Some people got three, four, five, six ribbons while I got nothing. But I am happy that I got to meet Mr. Kean. He was my teacher when I was in grade three and he taught very well and was humorous. Just that, he went to another school to teach. Seriously, I'm not really an Athletics person myself. I like to play sport but not Athletics. I play Soccer every recess and lunch. That is a total of one and a half hours a day. In Netball, I'm good at the position of Center, which runs around a lot. But I managed it.

Sorry about making this rant really boring. Good thing is, I have managed to learn how to make GIFs'. Maybe I can open a request thing to make GIFs'. I made one and can be found at the 'Affiliates' page. These days, I am trying to make a decent layout, make a post achieve and complete editing my fanfic. I've still got along way to go. I'm watching Hana Kimi now and I would like to share it with you if you haven't watched it. Don't worry, it has Eng Subs. SUBLimes is where you can get it. I guess I have nothing else to say. I'm sure I do.

I just checked through the affies and had to remove some as they closed down. I don't mind. It's just making more room for my affies. On occasions, I just visit my affies to see if they are doing well and remove them if necessary. I guess this is all. Just a note: 'chao, ban!' mean 'hello friend' in Vietnamese. And 'xin chao ban' means just the same.

Xin chao ban!

Ni Hao, Peng You!

2010-08-11T01:13:00.000-07:00

Ni hao, peng you!
I know, it's been long since I posted. I will try and post more. Don't worry, I am always here. So, I've got a few links to give you. I will try and open the post achieves so you know what my previous posts are if I know how to.

So, have you ever wanted a short URL? Not .blogspot.com but something more shorter with one less letter? And, wanting to make your URL look a bit more fancy? Well, come to Kyseria! A site made by the lovely purple, also owner of the famous Artsy Asian Crew! You may have notice that purple hasn't posted so much but don't worry, she is still alive. She just told me that Kyseria was officially open. Kyseria is also our new affie. Just for you to know.

As I said in the previous post(see, I really need a post achieve), you should watch Super Junior KM Idol World. Some of you may have noticed that I am a Super Junior fan. Well, I am and I am going to promote a Super Junior subbing forum. Super Legacy subs Super Junior videos, variety shows, etc. You can download Super Junior subbed variety shows, Music Videos, etc, free of charge. They really are a help for me. In order to download the subbed videos, variety shows, etc, you must register, reply to the topic and there you go. The links there. Even if you are not a Super Junior fan, watch Super Junior Full House. I never knew Super Junior before I watched Super Junior Full House. I totally fell in love with them after. And, one more reason why you should watch it; after being a Super Junior fan, you will get jealous seeing Super Junior with Anya and Eva. So, I suggest you watch it. If you are Korean, I don't think there is a reason why you should even glance Super Legacy since you understand Korean. But actually, you can help! You can be a great help by applying as a translator! You don't need experience at all. If you are recruited, then you will be sent the information and the tutorials. Do think about what I have said!

I have opened blog where I will translate some short Vietnamese articles to English. It's in development and I haven't seen any interesting articles to translate. If I have, then I will translate it immediately but it might be a bit of a struggle since I have broken Vietnamese but the problem will be solved. I know quite a lot and I can also ask my Mum what it means. Please visit Odd News of the Four Points and support the blog! Xie xie!

We have a Facebook page where you can follow what we have been doing, etc. I haven't posted anything yet since I don't have any 'likes' and posting something would be pointless. Come visit Earth Rotates Facebook page and if you have a Facebook account, feel free to 'like' it.

I am really annoyed at how the 'Affiliate' page is looking. All the buttons after wards looks out of order. I can't seem to find the reason behind it.

Oh, and if any one of you's have been wondering, peng you means friend in Chinese and xie xie means thank you in Chinese. Not that I know Chinese. I am Chinese but I don't know Chinese. I am a failure. I learnt this at school. I really want to learn Mandarin and Cantonese, the two Chinese languages that he speaks but I don't know since he left me early. Not passed away. Just leaving me and Mum. I also want to learn Korean. High schools here suck. The only three languages they teach at high school it Spanish, French and Japanese. Only three. I don't even think I am ever going to use those languages. If they don't teach Korean, thats acceptable but I mean, Mandarin! The vast population of people around the world speak Mandarin! Think people! Enough about my ranting, because I should stop before I explode. I don't think I have forgotten anything. Oh, I am not in high school yet though.

Zai Jian!

New Layout

2010-07-31T04:58:00.000-07:00

Annyoong, chingu!
We've got a new layout! Yay! I really like too. As it says, it is ft. Kim Ryeowook! He is so cute! Thank you Serena! You can find the credits in the 'credits' page. It's really calm, the colour.
I don't think there is anything else...
The Graphic Maker Application is still open since I haven't received any yet. Oh yeah, Serena is on hiatus from making layouts now. Just so you know. You can still enter her challenge. If any of you haven't, visit Artsy Asian Crew to check out their contest! If you are going to enter, good luck! This post is too plain! I have to go to tutor tomorrow so I can't stay here for long. If there is any of you Super Junior fans out therr and haven't watched KM Idol World Super Junior T, then do it now! You can find them subbed at YouTube. Here is the first episode to get you going:

2nd Month anniversary

2010-07-29T01:22:00.000-07:00

Hi guys!
I actually am I a bit lazy but today is Earth Rotates 2nd Month anniversary! Yay! I didn't really hope for this site to be open for so long. Boy, time travels fast. I made this banner(with my poor skills) for the sites 2nd month anniversary. I might make more later. I made this awesome slideshow with slide.com. You guys should check it out! It's free, no registration, it's easy and it's fun! Here is the slideshow:

I was going to have the anniversary and new layout here on the same day but I didn't know how to download the html code so I am stuck here. I will just have to wait. The layout should be coming tomorrow.
Well, I guess that's all!

Reason if the name 'Earth Rotates'

2010-07-24T01:04:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone.
I know my previous post was a bit too mean but I just had to let that all out.
Now, none of you know why I called this site, 'Earth Rotates', right? I decided to tell you. Some of you may know that I am a SuYin shipper, right? The song that made many fans crazy about them was 'Timeless', a hit single. Now, you see, Timeless, what has that got to do with Earth Rotates? It has, by my perspective. Timeless doesn't have an end to the time that goes. So, basically, it doesn't have time. Same with Earth Rotates. Time will keep on going if the Earth Rotates. You get what I mean. Time will not stop, no matter how long you think the time is going.
Maybe the name also symbolises 'longevity'
Maybe, just maybe, I will open a poster request too. I am not sure about it. I will be opening the Poster Maker Applicants. If I don't get enough, I won't be opening it. I don't know. Here are some of my works:

slideshow | Viewer

I don't have Photo Shop, as some of you see. That's why I am debating whether I should open it or not.

Also, let's welcome our new staff! I know, I don't usually welcome staff. I am sorry for all those. I just wasn't very organised at that time. I will update the staff page as soon as possible, maybe right now. Almost forgot, the person is: 2pmvietguh ! Let's welcome her with a warm applause! She will be working as a one-shot writer.

One last thing, don't get us mixed up with another site! There is a site with the exact same url as this except they don't have the 's' in the 'blogspot' We do though. After settling everything, I will go promote our site and clean up somethings.

Well, I guess that's it. Thank you everyone for applying and requesting here! Thank you everyone! We are also nearing our two month anniversary!

What we have done

2010-07-17T22:48:00.000-07:00

I will tell you what we have done over the past one month or something. We have completed four reviews, one one-shot and having two pending one-shots. We haven't done much though. Do request and apply as staff!
I do not need experienced people. All I need, is for you to be good at grammar and spelling and do everything with your heart. I don't want one-shots that have mistakes everywhere and don't go with the flow and reviews that only give out the score, not the reason behind it. And, I am only hiring people that I can keep constant contact with. So, you will be required to reply to an email within 48 hours if you apply as staff. I get very frustrated at people who don't.
I have plenty of time on hand at the moment so we don't need a co-web. People seriously don't follow the rules. I am giving everyone a warning. If you are do request, please read the rules! How many people have I asked to tag the tag box once requested and they don't. Now, I am just going to ask you to supply a password. I have a creative mind, so the password may be something you can never guess. I might have people black listed just for not tagging the tag box and I will inform my affies. This is a warning for every single one of you. I hate to be strict but I am just saying. I think this isn't a very pleasant post. So I do hope I do not need to post something like this ever again. Thank you for your cooperation.

REQUEST!

2010-07-10T03:01:00.000-07:00

Request people request! I currently have nothing to do. =( I am so bored now! I need some things to! Maybe I should work on my fic, try and complete it and make an apply fic. Maybe. But for now, I am dead bored! I need something to do! *keeps banging head on table* Remember, need a one-shot or a review, come here and request!

Emo about a fanfic

2010-07-06T01:47:00.000-07:00

Hi, you might be wondering where I am. don't worry, I won't disappear. I am just emo now. I just read a fanfic and in the end, I wasn't happy. The main didn't end up with Kibum. Oh well, luckily I didn't actually read the WHOLE story. Poor Kibum. I actually read the last chapter when I smelt something fishy. Oh, well, I can't do much about it. There isn't much Kibum and you fanfics. If there is, tell me, please. Thanks in advancd!

Maybe a Black Lister

2010-06-27T23:38:00.000-07:00

I have looked over a fanfic that I gave a review to and it wasn't there. That person moved from winglin to AFF. I looked at it and found nothing. Not a review.
I am angry but I cannot be sure that this person is doing this on purpose or just an accident. It happens to be one of our staff members too.
I will look further into the problem and see. I don't think there is any reason for that person not to post it up. They may have posted their story on AFF and Winglin at the same time but that doesn't mean they don't need to post it up on AFF. I emailed that person the review so they should have it in an email of they lose it. They can always ask me for another copy. It doesn't hurt to. I haven't moved to a new site or anything so why?
Within a week, if this person doesn't reply to me on AFF then I will go to emailing them. This time, I will only give them a couple of days. If that person doesn't post it up or contact me, then that person will go on the black list, also letting me contact all my affies about it. I will not disclose any further infomation yet but if this has no progress, then I will put that person on the black list.

One-shot Requests

2010-06-25T04:27:00.000-07:00

Before you request, please read the rules first. Also, a bit of how our one-shot system works.

System:
You fill out our form. Once sent, we send you an email to confirm that you actually exist. You then have to reply to it. If you do, then we proceed to the next step. We start on the one-shot. Once done, we will post it up in an AFF account under the name of 'Earth Rotates'. We will post the fanfics up there under the name of you being the requester. We will send you the link of the fanfic. Hows that? Any inconvenience that we have caused, then just tell us. We don't mind at all.

Rules:

1) You are free to request from any other site but you must a) Do not tell us to do the the same plot as the other place you are requesting from and b) You cannot tell us to do the plot if you have not thought of it yourself but used someone else's plot. Don't worry, I read a lot of fanfics so don't fool me.

2) We do not do request for rated, yaoi or yuri fanfics. Not that we don't like them, but its because some of us might not be capable of doing it.

3) Please allow us at least three weeks to complete it. We aren't superman or anything but human.

4) Please, no bashing or spamming. Any questions? Just email us or tag the tag box.

5) We will send you an email. Please reply to it in 36 hours or your request will be denied. Sometimes we won't and we will just head straight to making the one-shot. Contact us if you feel insecure.

6) Of course you can ask when we will finish it. I know what it feels like waiting. But please don't repeatedly ask us as we may blacklist you and discontinue work on your request.

7) To make sure you have read the rules, the link for the form is the title of this.

8) Once you have requested here, please tag the tag box. I mean it! If you don't, black list is where you will go and I will have ALL my affies noted.

9) Once you have seen your one-shot, tag the tag box, please.

Thanks for requesting at our site! Hope we can meet your expectations.

Service

2010-06-24T01:13:00.000-07:00

We provide honest Reviews for your fanfic and One-shots for your needs.

Review:
We review for your fanfic as honest as we can, always aiming for you to improve. The site was originally a Review site but later expanded to a One-shot site and Graphic Request site. We are always free to make you a Review and we do it as fast as we can, usually at most, one week.

One-shot:
Our One-shot system is different from others. We put it in an AFF account under a different fanfic each, not compiled into one fanfic. We don't give it to you to post it up but we post it up ourselves so anyone can view it on AFF via our AFF account, Earth_Rotates. We only email you the link and you may enjoy the One-shot. Also, it is not compulsory that you present us a plot to make as we can make it up ourselves. All you need is to request, wait, read and enjoy. And, if you want, you can have a poster for the one-shot made by us too so you don't have to request twice. Either at this site or somewhere else.

Graphic Request
We make graphics according to your view. We do hope that your fanfic will be attractive and will lure many readers. We my not be a famous request site like some but we do hope we will be and we hope to help you with your fanfic. Do feel free to request!

LyGiaMy

Hello everyone! Webmistress here! I've known K-POP for only a short period of time. The first K-POP I knew was actually Big Bang. My friend let me listen to Haru Haru but my reaction wasn't that big. I was like, 'are they gay?' so that was the end of me knowing about K-POP for about half a year. Then, I got internet and after watching BOF, I was crazy for SoEul but that died. But, that helped me advance a step into knowing K-POP. This is a bit too long. So, I created this site hoping the people who request here are going to be happy and smile. I really hope so. So, request if you wish.

My name is Jennifer, but I personally like Binnie more, because it sounds cooler, and it's my Korean name made into a nickname-style. Ah yeah, I'm Korean. :) I like reviewing, because all my friends and family tell me I'm really cold-hearted, and honest when it comes to reviewing anything, and I guess that's helpful because I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. :3 I write fanfics:

Poll Results

2010-06-13T04:36:00.000-07:00

If you would have noticed, there was another poll. The poll was about 'Which pairing do you like the most?'. The results, to me, was very satisfying. The results were:

SuYin: 9 (100%)

TaeSu: 0 (0%)

Thanks for those who voted and supported SuYin! I am really happy with the result since I am a SuYin shipper. Thanks again for those supported SuYin! Oh, and voted too!

Poll for 'How Did You Find Earth Rotates?' results

2010-06-11T04:21:00.000-07:00

I would like to thank everyone who voted on the poll. Thanks! Without you, the poll would have been empty. I can't thank all of you's individually because of obvious reasons, but I am so very grateful for all your voting.

Now for the results:

Through affies: 10 (58%)

Asians Fan Fics: 4 (23%)

Navbar: 0 (0%)

Other: 3 (17%)

Thanks again to everyone that voted.
This proves, the more active I am at affies, then I would get more visitors. Asian Fan Fics (http://www.asianfanfics.com/) also added a part to the community. Navbar is in, when you are pressing 'Next blog' on the NavBar on the top of the blog, then you might be directed to this blog. Seems like luck wasn't on my side. LOL. In others, there were a couple of votes but I can't be sure whether what it was that the voters choose especially.

Graphic Request

2010-06-07T23:58:00.000-07:00

I've decided to open this. We now have four graphic designers so it should work.

The rules:

1) You are NOT to request here if you have already requested from another site. Same if you've requested here. You cannot request again at another site.

2) There is a character limit, like every other site. We do this to increase the quality of your graphic. Only five characters allowed, with the exception of groups. But that does not mean you can request for five groups. You may only request for up to two groups but do not expect your graphic to have as good quality. Please keep the characters to a minimum.

3) I will email you within 48 hours and you need to reply. If not, I won't send anyone to work on it. If you don't receive one, please be patient as I might have sent someone to work on it but if you aren't sure, tag the tag box and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

4) No modifications on the graphics please. You must leave the credit on it. If we have done something that does not go with what you have written on the form, then tag the tag box and I will get back to you. Make sure it's OUR fault. If you did not fill in the form properly and blame us, then we won't do anything about it. You may request a copy of the form you sent in if you wish.

5) You must credit in either the forward or a chapter. You must make sure it's visible and you need to credit the designer and the site. Please, a link, not just simply Earth Rotates. Unless, if you click on the link and it redirects to Earth Rotates.

6) Please give us a maximum of three weeks to complete your request. I'll make sure my staff gets it done by that time. If you don't receive your request by that time, tag the tag box and I will get to you. Please make sure that you've got the date right.

7) The link of the request form is the title of this.

8) You may cancel your graphic but within a week unless the graphic is done by then. I don't want my staff hurt if they've nearly completed the graphic and you cancel it.

9) You MUST tag the tag box once you've finished requesting. If you don't, I will make you tag it before anyone works on your graphic.

10) Most importantly, enjoy your day and smile! Yes, this is a rule. So, smile and you will instantly be cheerful, as well as they people around you.

Hi!

2010-05-29T01:37:00.000-07:00

Welcome everyone, with the utmost welcome. This is place where your request reviews, as you know. Though it is still under contruction, you can still file out a form to be a staff. I don't know what else to say...Let me tell a bit about myself. I like to read fanfics. Actually, I read it everyday. I like to read books too. My favourite! I am a fanfic author too.

Link to my profile page that has all my fanfics I have wriiten:

http://www.asianfanfics.com/index.php/profile/view/1415

I am a new author though. I have only entered the internet world at home for like, less then two months. This is all for now! See you some other time!
