Welcome
![](../graphics/bluebar.gif)
Sorry bout my week-long sabbatical. I've had several difficult situations...One of which concerns a high-school friend of mine who passed away in a car accident last week. I'll sorely miss her...But anyway, this is no way to start the Art column. Welcome back, I'm feeling refreshed, less than a month of school left, weee!
From The Heart

I've debated whether or not to say this...but I think the time has come for a heart-to-heart with all you wonderful fan-artists. I'd like to ask your opinion of something. I fervently hope you will respond as kindly as you all did when I was in my heart-to-heart crisis regarding Ask Lore, so those of you who are willing to hear me out, drop me a line at Lifestream@hotmail.com. Thanks so much in advance. And please, don't spread and gossip what I tell you. If you want to know, ASK ME. I feel that this is an extremely sensitive issue and I don't want second-hand tellings to misinterpret my feelings.
Lorelai's Inspirational Notes
![](../graphics/bluebar.gif)
How about crossovers?
I've always wondered how Cloud and Aya Brea would get along, personally, since they seem to be brother/sister. Perhaps sharing a cup of tea or something =) Or just mixed realities... If you've seen Evangelion or Fushigi Yuugi, there are scenes in which main characters are envisioned in normal reality, doing normal things...
Instead of a lone SOLDIER, what about Cloud in a Japanese school uniform holding buckets of water with Tifa, in a modest schoolgirl uniform? One or the other blushing? Or if the Japanese cultural reference is lost, they could just be eating lunch or something.
Or Terra going shopping with Celes with Locke stuck in
between, carrying all the bags?
I've always been interested in the more mundane lives of our favorite
heroes. Anyway, good work as always!

Cookies...I mean, Quickies

People, pleeeease hear me out here...when you submit fanart, in the BODY of your e-mail could you please include things like comments, title of fanart, e-mail, name, etc? Please, READ the FAQ and "How to get your Fanart posted," if everyone complied I'll bet I can get updates up faster!...
The Artist Archive is run by a Perl script, so if you change your e-mail, you MUST tell me. If you can, ALWAYS submit your fanart under the SAME e-mail.
The reason why this update references Prozac Cookies.
Xenogears' studly gunslinger Billy Lee Black has been suddenly ousted from Lorelai's Shrine and has been replaced by Sailor Uranus, the cross-dressing wonder of Sailor Moon S.
Send Lore more inspirational note suggestions! Please? ^_^ I know you've got them in your head, why not share them and inspire thousands of people?
LORE NEED MORE ARTISTS OF THE WEEK and some more boxes of Milano Cookies.
