XeroCreative v5.0 - Since 2002 your source for Yugioh, Naruto, Bleach TCGs/CCGs and MORE

XC gave to me a chance to express my inner creativity!

Today's interactive event will focus around art in general. Poems and any form of literature are considered art. To you XC'ers out there, this is your challenge:

Design a piece of art relating to the theme of Christmas. Feel free to tie in XeroCreative some how if you'd like to do so. When we say art, we mean any form of art! Poems, short stories, a Christmas banner, a hand-drawn picture, anything artistic. If there are enough participants, we will judge and give XCBux prizes to the winners. There will be many different concepts that will be taken into consideration when judging the winners. Enter and participate in XC's second day of Christmas!

The contest will close sometime near the end of XC-Mas, and the winners will be announced afterwards (if we get enough participation.) Post your entries in this thread.

If you have no idea what to write/draw, here are some examples made by staffers to get your mind rolling:

'Twas the night before XC-mas, when all through the Web,
not a user was riding on any old sled.
They were all stuck at their computers, their eyes hung with care,
in hopes that MykeXero soon would be there.

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter,
but nobody cared to see what was the matter.
We opened Windows Media player in a flash,
Watching Naruto, Dragonball, and pirated emo-slash*.

The moon lit nicely on the freshly-fallen snow
but no user could see it so far below,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
XeroCreative dot com and all of its mirrors.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment that Myke's not a hick!
Rapid like eagles, his moderators came,
and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:

"Now Master! Now Darkie!
Now, all you replaceables!
Get to work before XC-mas
like XC gigalos."

Myke was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foots,
and his boots were worn from kicking asses and muts.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
all of them stolen, every last pack.

"No Christmas this year!" Myke cried all aloud.
"For I'm not a stinkin' Christian.
I'm a Jew! And proud!"

Then into thin air he rose and he vanished.
MykeXero was gone until next year we wished.
But a quiet voice came the speakers through:
"Merry XC-mas to everyone and you."

----------------------
And this one:

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Forum
Not a member was browsing, none even from boredom
The files were saved in the folder with care,
Neatness kept Myke out of our hair

The staffers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Yugimon danced in their heads.
With Hotaru in Britain and Myke in Anahiem,
Both had just settled down for some computer time.

When on the screen arose a terrible sight,
DM sat up, his eyes bulging from fright.
Into the hallway he flew like a flash,
Onto the staffers' doors he began to bash.

Up to their computers all the staff went
Fearful all Christmas Night would be spent
Fighting off Trolls, Bots, and Spammers galore
But this was worse, by ten times more

For all the screens drew a blank
The hearts of the staffers all but sank
For XC, there would be no Christmas it seemed
The eyes of the staffers no longer glistened with gleam

Little Eric and Sun and TEOT
Pouted together with SD and DMG
Young Mew and Flupy and Simon
All cried with Atilla and ensui

Eric and DB and Jenova and Custom too
Shika and DV and Atem, but not Cindy the Who
They all pondered and thought wondering what to do
They looked to Darkie hoping he knew

"How do we fix this? What is happening? Is it AOL Flooder?"
They all shouted together with a shudder!
Their voices rose together in a mighty squeal
The tension in the room rose, or so it would feel.

Now Darkie and DM tried to quiet the staff down
As ideas of candy canes and yugimon all crashed to the ground
"Quiet! Quiet!" DM said with a voice so hushed
At this time, you could hear the toilet flushed

Sun came out of the bathroom and looked all around
Wide-eyed faces glaring at him all around
"What are you all doing up" he asked with glee
He was quickly slapped with a fish, a pie, and even a key

"Listen! Listen!" Darkie said in a whisper so low
Up on the rooftop you could slightly make out a "Ho, Ho, Ho!"
At this, the joy of the staffers somewhat came back
All except for Gate, who had went AFK

With a loud swish, clack, and boom
Something had landed in the downstairs room
The staffers all rushed to the staircase
Joy and anticipation back in each face

For in the room downstairs they met their hero
It was none other than Santa Xero!
With a beard of FFFFFF and a suit of CC0033
He let out a jolly "|-|0! |-|0! |-|0" with glee

Opening his bag, he throw out XC Buxs galore
And he gave out so much more
A Wii for Atem and for Seto a PS3
A Pendant for DMG and for Lightie a flashlight to see

Paints for Mana and YGO Cards for n00bDragon
A great trade for MopperHoss and for Dachronic a bong made of jade
For Shadow Naruto manga and a great dog for Master
But the final present would truly save the day

To Darkie he handed a glorious piece of hardware
A new server, all paid for and even had it's own shiny glare
"Plug it in," Xero said with a wink
"To all your databases, there is already a link"

With a buzz and a wizz, the server light turned green
The room erupted with joy, the staffers started to sing
For this was a great night of merriment and joy
All throughout the land, for every girl and boy

Databases and posts all were completely restored!
The XC users shouted with glee and were no longer bored.
With this, Santa Xero jumped onto his motorcycle and drove out sight
Shouting "Happy XC-Mas to all, and to all a good-night!"

Good luck. Be sure to have fun =)
