I hope this works. I uploaded my voice meme to Google Drive. Here is the link. I'm afraid you'll have to download it in order to listen to it. Also, the file is kind of big. If, for some reason, you can't hear it, let me know and I'll do my best to fix the problem.
You can listen to my songs on my Tumblr page. Let me know if you run into any problems playing them.
Below are the questioners. Check the comments if you want to see the answers to their own questions.

I'm getting ready to record my voice meme. So this drawing giveaway is closed. If you REALLY want a drawing from me, you can beg and plead, and I'll see what I can do for you.
So it's come to this....
You know how people around theO are taking requests and giving out surprise gifts? Well, I'm feeling crazy enough to do something like that. So, comment and I'll draw a picture for you. It'll be a surprise, but I'll do research to make sure it's something you like.
There is a catch, however.
You have to ask questions for my voice meme. I know I said that I wanted you to answer your own questions to get to know you better, but you don't even have to do that. Just click the link and ask some questions in my voice meme post (not this one).
Since MangaKid, Allie Elric, and alphonse13 already asked questions, they will automatically get drawings from me. Other participants will be listed below.
Let's see if this works.
Edit: Apparently, not too well. Actually, it's getting there.

If you've been wondering, "WHERE THE HECK IS MY DRAWING???" don't worry. I fully intend to keep my promise. I'm just trying to figure out what surprises to give everybody. I'll start on the drawings when my meme is recorded.
I'd like to know what happened to a number of things.
First of all, what happened to the featured World posts? I liked reading those. Heck, I'm going to put "spotlight" in my tags for the sake of experimenting.
Second, what's up with promotions? We haven't had one yet this year. LGA775 pointed this out about a month ago and nothing has changed. There are SO many people that are overdue for promotions.
My third point isn't so much a thing as it is a person. Did alphonse13 deactivate her account? There's no trace of her anywhere. And she was so active, too. I was going to draw her a picture for asking questions in my voice meme (still open), but now I don't know if I can.
I wish theO was a more active community. So little has been happening lately. Then again, I'm not exactly helping. Stupid lack of scanner.
I'd like to thank Toya for posting about her favorite comics on theO. This in turn made me think about theO's comics, which then made me think about things to improve theO's fan comics section, which then made me think of all the little tweaks that can be made to make theO a better place. So here's a little list.
Edit: Thought of one more.
- A function that allows users to filter comics by whether they're finished or not. There could be a checkbox or radio button as to whether the comic is complete or ongoing. By default it will be set to ongoing. If there are completed comics that have been made by users that have long since abandoned theO, there could be a team of users to hunt them out and report them to the admin/mod team on theO to be marked as complete. If such a team could be made, I'd like to volunteer.
- A way to remove favorites from the favorites page instead of going directly to the source. If you notice, there are people who have deleted their accounts, but the thumbnail for their art is still there. If you can't have access to your favorite art anymore, why keep it in your favorites? When someone clicks on it, they'll just be taken to the Dreaded Error Page and won't be able to see the art nor can they "un-fave" it. It's a real catch 22, if you think about it.
- A way to add World posts to users' favorites. Before the Fan Words section was removed, users could add published works as their favorites. Now there is a section in my favorites that displays my favorite World posts, which were just former Fan Words. That's what inspired this idea. I don't think there is a little heart to click on for easy access to World posts that users find especially awesome. It would be great if there were.
- A way to browse Worlds. Yes you can search for them by selecting "All", but then you only find worlds and posts with whatever matches what you searched for.
- Either get rid of or bring back those "in limbo" sections. When I search and select "All" from the menu, I can still see Fan Words as one of the links that can be clicked on. That gives me access to the Fan Words section, complete with the outdated "submit" policy, and the ability to create Challenges. The same goes for myOtaku. I didn't even know what it was due to the fact that it's not fully integrated with theO. When I did see myOtaku, the sites looked like really ugly Worlds. Do we need this? Is myO necessary? Are these two sections that I mentioned alive or dead? They shouldn't be both.
- A way to search by title. Let's face it, some people just don't know how to tag, if they tag at all.
- A way to specify whether a character is a fan character from any given fandom. I think there used to be a checkbox that did that. What happened to it? Anyway, if this is implemented, there could be a search team (like there would be with the fan comics) who seek out fan-made characters from fandoms that they are familiar with. Also, the Fan Comic top 15 categories has a "Fan Characters" category. Why can't I see, much less select that category when I submit something? Maybe you should abolish it and merge it with the "Original" or "Personal" categories.
- Some way to hide fan works that contain spoilers. I made a post about how furious I was when people were inconsiderately posting fan works that gave away major spoilers to a series that I wasn't up-to-the-minute on, but was following anyway. If there was some checkbox or something to hide spoiler-ridden fan works, I'd really appreciate it.
OK, so maybe that wasn't such a little list. Still, I wanted to type all this out before I forgot it. Thanks for reading.
