~ Introduction

Welcome! This is a fanclub dedicated to Asch and Luke from Tales of the Abyss! Why? Because they are pretty, cool, awesome, funny, and pretty, with great personalities that you can't help but love, and they're pretty! Its a place to gather all their fans and the gorgeous art there is of them that I know is out there!

You don't have to be a hardcore fan to join - we're open to everyone from the people who think they're kinda cool (even though you like someone else better) to the rabid fangirls like myself. Just make sure to check out the rules below.

Spoiler warning. When dealing with Luke and Asch there are inherent spoilers and I'm not planning to label them all as such. So be forewarned.

~News:

May 23rd

This is it! The votes are in! Don't worry - I won't pull an American Idol on you and make you sit and read 2 hours of pointless stuff for a 5 minute announcement *shot* Okay I'm done.

Contest Winner (and winner of the anthology) is:
Entry # 9.
Title: Scions of Lorelei
Link: [link]

Congratulations! ~Sora-na also was voted as most creative hairstyle! However, as promised, since both category winners was the same entry, the second place prize and 3 month dA subscription goes to the overall runner up:
Entry #7:
Title: Redheads for Basketball
Link: [link]

I will note the winners regarding their prizes.

Congratulations to the winners and a huge thanks to everyone who entered!!

In other news: As I'm sure you've seen I've set up the new contest~ the theme this time is Cosplay contest! It's not exactly what it sounds like (and doesn't have anything to do with real life cosplaying)~ so check it out! You can find the rules and details here: [link] Though not as epic as an anthology, the prize this time will be a Luke or Asch plushie (your choice) in the outfit of your choice. It's custom made for the winner so i hope everyone will give it their all!

I also set up the page for the pairing art here: [link] ~ I've listed the rules and details on that page. If you aren't a LukeAsch/AschLuke fan - don't worry about anything. Just ignore that journal page, nothing else in the club will be changing in regard to the rules on pairing art in the gallery and in contests.

Any questions or concerns - please speak up! Anything at all, I'm definitely willing to work with you guys to make this club the best it can be!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in and voted in the last contest - I had a lot of fun with it and all the entries were amazing. Great job everyone!

~Rules

Club Rules:
1. This is a club for fans of Luke and/or Asch. Please be respectful and don't be bashing either of them.
2. No bashing/insulting of any fellow members either. Be respectful - be nice - you don't have to agree - but be polite about it.
3. No original characters please
4. No AschXLuke or LukeXAsch (or any combination/derivative thereof) is allowed in the gallery. There is already a club for them as a romantic pairing here on DA. This club is open to any fans of Luke and Asch, and you are more than welcome to join and submit your art ~ but we'd like to keep our gallery free of them as a pairing for the fans who don't like them as a couple. Innocent stuff is okay, but keep it innocent. Hugging is fine, kissing is not. (I also prefer if the picture is not labeled/titled as LukeAsch - if it's innocent and you still want to submit it, thats fine and I'm more than happy to put it up - but I may change the title.)
5. Please see here: [link] for the details surrounding pairing art in this club.
6. DO NOT FAV CLUB DEVIATIONS!! This one is important.. please direct all comments and favs back to the original artist. Do not make me sic a very angry Asch on you.
7. Any questions or concerns can be directed one of two places: you can note the club or send a note to either admin.

Joining:
1. You have to like Luke or Asch (or both!) They don't have to be your favorite - but there has to be a bit of love for them in there somewhere ^.~
2. Send a note to the club titled "Join".
3. If you just watch the club you will not be added until you've sent a note. This is just to avoid confusion on my part.
4.Messages left on the club page will not be checked regularly...please just send a note ^^
5. While you don't have to - after you join, if you watch the club - you'll be up to date on all the contests and other events we may be holding.

Submissions:
1. Send a note to the club titled "submission" or "fanart" or something simlilarly identifiable and we'll add it to the club.
2. It can be any media, fics, poems...whatever as long as it has Luke and/or Asch.
3. It can have any other characters in it (no original characters please) as long as Luke or Asch is more or less the central focus.
4. All comments and favs will be directed back to the original.
