~automailxalchemy

Nearly a year ago, offered some of her clubs up for adoption, and I volunteered to take this one over, but never could find the time to update it because the other clubs I run took up so much of my time. But now that the new message center has come out and clubs are allowed to Collect art, I've got a bit more time on my hands for other things.

Oh, I should introduce myself. My screenname is `Arete-Eirene-Phile and I run a handful of large Disney themed clubs, but I've always been a fan of manga and anime, and fell in love with FullMetal Alchemist the first time I saw it. I keep current with the manga, which is wonderful (and you should read it if you've only ever seen the anime - they are two very different stories, both wonderful in their own rights). I love Edward as a character and support Ed x Winry as a couple.

So anyhoo... I've got a lot of catching up to do around here. The first thing I'll do is go through the watcher list and add anyone who is still active to the watch here. Next up will be a purge of the gallery, because I'll be switching the submission method here over to Collections rather than resubmits. If you don't know what that means you may want to take a look at this deviation: In Defense of Club Collections. Active members will be on automatic submission - that means that when I see an Edward or a Winry or an Edward x Winry deviation of yours in the watch I will collect it and when I've collected a certain number of deviations or a certain time period has gone by, I'll notify the club's members that there is new art to look at.

Look for an update FAQ to go out sometime this week. Thank you to all who stuck with the club through over a year of inactivity. I hope we can make this a thriving community again!
