A Newly-Revamped Welcome (And a Giveaway!)

Say hello to Pi day, March 14th! It’s a brand-new week for Home Clipart Animal Deer, and for the rest of the world obviously.

We’ve had a pretty bad last few weeks for this site, what with a bunch of missed posts and almost zero Election ‘016 stories at all. And we’re pretty sorry about all that, too. All the stories we have been giving you these past six months have skidded to a bit of a halt lately, and that’s because of two reasons: 1) We’re busy and this site makes no money so this is essentially working for free, and 2) We have no idea which stories work, which ones people actually enjoy and read, instead of which ones are unenjoyable, and it’s really hard to figure out what to write because of that.

So to fix those two problems, we’re implementing a New HCAD Revamp. What does that mean, exactly? Not all that much. The main change is a new weekly schedule. It’s very much reduced from the previous schedule:

• Monday – Weekly Welcome Post (Like this one here)
• Tuesday – Clipart Story
• Wednesday – Election ‘016: The Series
• Thursday – Clipart Story
• Friday – (Blank) We Haven’t Watched, or an HCAD Movie Club article.
• Saturday – Serial Story Chapter (currently, it’s Kuttsukiboshi x Madoka Magica, but it will change once that story ends in a couple weeks)
• Sunday – N/A (Unless we feel like posting something extra)

We actually figured that posting up to 10 or 12 times a week might actually be a chore for many people to get through, so our reduced schedule will hopefully be good for you and for us.

As you can see, Mondays will consist only of a Weekly Welcome Post, so these posts will end up being more substantive than usual. We might start rambling about weird blog stuff, or start recommending webcomics or something. You never know, and it all depends on the person writing it.

A sidenote, though; this is incredibly minor, but we will no longer be numbering our Clipart stories. There was never much of a reason for it to begin with and we were worried that it would start to confuse people who would think that the stories are connected via continuity or something. (A couple of them are, but it’s always noted when that happens.)

The other issue we have to address, as previously mentioned, is “audience engagement”. This sounds like some annoying marketing thing, and it probably is, but in the case of Home Clipart Animal Deer, we’re writing funny stories and weird serials and stuff like that. We thrive off the comments and feedback we get. Unfortunately, so far we haven’t gotten very much. So, short of begging for people to comment and share and sign up for mailing lists and all that, we’ll do anything to get more from you, dear reader.

So the first way we will attempt to solve this is a really simple and cheap method: A Writing Giveaway! Read here for more details on that.

Oh, and if you are or know someone who is versed at all in web design, please, contact us. Our site is pretty terrible and we know this very well. Please help us make it less terrible so that it is usable.

And to end this Weekly Welcome Post, since I’ve rambled enough already, here’s a list of all the cool posts we made last week:

• [Clipart 060] Normal Alien at the Nightclub – An Alien goes to a nightclub. What??
• [Clipart] Baby Duck – Has the clipart with the cutest art, which isn’t saying much since most public domain clipart is trash.
• [Madoka] Kuttsukiboshi x Madoka Magica – Chapter 15 – Lots of fight scenes! People punching each other! It’s really exciting stuff, guys!
• [Clipart] Cook by Rones – Another guest post by the lovely Trishytown.

 

Have a nice week, everyone.

It Welcomes

Hey-yo everyone. Home Clipart Animal Deer is not exactly smooth-sailing at the moment as you may have noticed last week from several gap days, but don’t worry; it’s like in the 2/3 point in a movie when everyone gets really upset with each other or the protagonist loses the trust of the other characters. It looks dire and bad and stuff, but the protagonist is just about to turn things around and deliver a motivational speech just before the setpiece finale.

Home Clipart Animal Deer will be that protagonist.

Eventually.

[Clipart 057] Two Frogs

Tesla and Cujo, the two frogs who lived in the house on the bump on the branch on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea, were fighting again. This wasn’t their normal kind of fight though. No, this time they would maybe even get a divorce.

[Clipart 054] MRIs That Make You Go Hmmm…

“Hmmm…” I went, seeing the MRI. “Hmmm….”

“This does… not look like something I entirely understand.”

I didn’t entirely understand the MRI, and as such, I went “Hmm…”

[Election ‘016 056] Final Moments

Final Moments

Thedude3445

 

Ben Carson felt terrible.

It was a special kind of terrible, though. The kind where his head throbbed, every vein in his body pulsed out, and the only release he could get was that he was going numb from the blood loss.

He had been in many surgeries over the years, but it was obviously never with him on the receiving end. He now knew how it must feel to go through one of his famous brain splices without any anesthetic. He no longer wished to be called Science Man, after all this. He realized that Ben was good enough for him.

Giving a Hearty Welcome to This Week

There’s a week this week. And guess what happens on that week?

Come on, take a guess. Any guess will do.

Okay?

Okay.

What happens is…

Home Clipart Animal Deer posts!

Haha, had you worried there for a moment, didn’t I?

If you missed last week, we had some cool stuff. We had sad clipart stories about dogs, sad weekends for movies, and we dispelled with all this fiction that Marco Rubio is a boring candidate to write about. Check all that stuff out.

The next couple weeks I’m not going to make very many posts, but we are still going to have a lot of fun, you and me. Let’s tango and also read stories.

Yet Another Welcome

It’s February 8th, which is a Monday. Which means…

New HCAD Posts!

 

Last week we had some good stuff. We, of course, had a brand-spanking new writer come on board (say hello), if you didn’t see that. We had stories about doing your civic duty and about losing your grip on reality and sacrificing yourself to the Dark God. And we had a Clipart Story posted on a Sunday for some reason. We also had the return of Kuttsukiboshi x Madoka Magica which will continue from now on (until the story ends of course)!

This week we will bring you more of the same, which actually means more weird and different stuff that you will presumably enjoy. Though we once again implore you to please comment, share, and do all that cool stuff with anything you like from here on HCAD. It’d be pretty darn great if you did.

[Clipart 046] Angry Guy with Axe

 

Okay, so, like, here’s a really bad situation that you’re currently in. It’s possibly the worst one in your entire life. Almost certainly, to be honest. There’s an angry guy standing right in front of you, holding an axe over your head, apparently ready to swing down and lodge the weapon in your head, probably killing you in seconds depending on the weapon’s sharpness.

[Clipart 045] Mateya Cola

(The spiritual counterpart to Cola Mateya.)

Mateya Cola sat on the hill at the riverbank, legs crossed, arms to her sides, and her eyes pensive. She felt the cool breeze flow through her clothing, touching her heart directly. It was too getting cold for short sleeves and a miniskirt, but she wore them anyway.

“I don’t want this,” she said.

[Clipart 044] Cola Mateya

(The Spiritual Counterpart to Mateya Cola.)

She was the girl of his dreams, that Mateya Cola. Every single day, she and her silver hair came to school with an explosion of energy, bringing life to the school like none other. She dressed up in gorgeous outfits, never in with uniform code, but beautiful enough that the teachers never began to care. The way she carried herself was with the utmost confidence and self-respect, never bothering to consider what others thought and always carving out a place for herself among the stars. He couldn’t bear but to look at her during class, ogling her as she stared out of the window in her seat in the back of the classroom.

He was convinced that Mateya was oblivious to his existence. She had never spoken to him, and he couldn’t recall an instance where she even made eye contact with him for a prolonged period of time. He wanted nothing more than to strike up a conversation with her, to talk to her about the weather and about how the sports teams had been doing, but there was always something preventing him from doing it. Some sort of sinister anxiety creeping up within him; he couldn’t explain it, but he could never bring myself to even get too close to her.
