Anyone doing a Halloween clutch?

Just that. Wondering. I can't do one, I've got a trio of witches who need a place to stand and they're *very* halloweeny. Not dark and evil, more candy-collecting witchcraft-is-fun witches...

I'd 'settle' for a giveaway too. But I've got a nice story written up for them already. Just wondering if anyone's planning on it or if I should just wing it.

>3 There's one being planned at the Avengaean Nidus, but it's waiting on the current AAM clutch to hatch first...

On that note, does anybody know how to make animated png's? Or some other kind of image that doesn't have to be outlined with black not to give a halo? >:D

Can you even make animated pngs?

according to a google search, no. But there's apparently some addition to the filetype called an APNG which is animated. :/ dunno if it's supported by everything, though, or what makes it.

Rats. I just hate how animated gifs can look so pixelly! Going to have to try that, though... hoom. :E Thanks anyhow!

... isn't this an animated png?

If so, ask Phe how she did it.

EDIT: ... nm, it's just a really really really big gif >.>

XD She's just really clever with that background fill! *loves those guys* I'm thinking mostly of animated breath-weapons and little things like that, which is why I was hoping to make pngs--fire is hard to make look decent when it's ringed in a big black-chunk!

As far as I'm aware, though people are indeed attempting to design animated .png formats like the .apng and .mng, there is no format that's been widely accepted and coded into browers/programs/etc. I'm pretty sure we're still stuck with .gifs if we want things to be animated.

I'm tempted to do a halloween clutch, just can't decide how. syth? frenzy? traditional? To many choices! ^_^;

I was wondering if one of these was going to happen. >.> I'd offer, but I've still got the V Dance to run.

I am running a Halloween clutch this year. In fact, I have to post info for it right now. (It'll be a ReallyMiniFrenzy. Two or three pairings, at most... maybe four if I get something really cool.)

Look for info in the Flights and Frenzies forum momentarily.

There's always Lantessama, even though they're not part of the Nexus boards or anything. Trix is doing her usual Halloween clutch there.
