As promised, Xinaed and I will be hosting our very first contest here on Stormy Skies. Now, again as promised, we will be doing it a little differently than what we've seen most doing. Granted, we wish we had all this money to buy crowns, and then use those crowns to buy the awards with, but we don't. We've racked our brains, and finally come to an agreement on what we feel the awards should/will be.
But first, we should tell you that we aren't going to be doing one of those contests where you just 'sign up' and that's the end of it. No. Since we are going to have to work, literally for the awards given, we would like you to work, for the right to be awarded. Nothing too difficult, and anybody who is anybody could easily do what we are asking of you.
You can choose of three things to submit for your entry in to the contest. You will have one week to submit your work to us at khai.dreamweavers.kash @ gmail.com. Remember to take the spaces out of the address, lol. Now to enter, you must be following us via twitter, or this blog, or both. Comment this blog post giving your Wizard name, where you are following us, as well as the type of entry you are going to be submitting. This way we can make sure to look for your email, and hold on to it. Don't want it getting lost in the spam folder. :)
Option One: Submit at least three paragraphs describing how Wizard101 has affected your life, excluding personal details such as your real name, age, location, etc.
Option Two: Make a graphic picture, either hand drawn, drawn in paint, collage, photo manipulation, etc of your favorite wizard101 pet(s), and your character(s). Then upload it to a picture hosting site such as picasa or photobucket, and email us the link so we can view it
Option Three: Write an in-character short story in your wizards point of view, of a time in their "life". Such as how they came about aquiring their pet/favorite pet, how they met their best friend, etc etc. Be creative. Three paragraph minimum.
Remember a paragraph is 5-7 sentences. Also, make sure to put your wizards name in your email to us so we can match them up with the comments.
Now, for our awards:
First place will be eligable to hatch* with one of mine, or Xinaed's
PETS, hybrid, promo, crowns, it doesn't matter which you chose, nor does it matter if you don't have a pet of equal "value". Plus, myself and Xinaed will run our wizards with yours for a day, helping you with whatever you so wish. Questing, Farming, you name it. We will be your mercenaries* for a day.
Second place will get us as personal mercenaries* for a day + 15 Treasure Cards*.
Third place will get to have us as merceneries* for one long instance. Example: Malistaire, Kensington, Tomb of the Beguiler, Labrynth, etc. As well as 10 treasure cards*.
We are looking forward to not only seeing your entries, but running around with the winners of the contest. Keep in mind, the winners will not be judged for their expertise at their chosen submission, but really the effort and thought it took to put it together*.
*Hatch - we will hatch with you until you get the pet you are seeking. Example: We hatch, but you get your same pet back, so we will keep trying.
*Mercenaries - Unfortunately, your merc needs must be limited to where we currently can go at the time set up by all of us to meet. Example: If we can't go in to the trial of spheres, we can't really help you if that's what you are wanting. Hopefully, we will have beaten Celestia by the time this contest is over, but just in case we are putting these stipulations in, in advance. So be warned. Also, unfortunately, we don't have the greatest of computers, gaming wise, and there for we are limited in our times of when we can go to more populated worlds/areas, regardless the state of the realm. Celestia for example, is something we can only manage to venture in to on weekday nights, as well as weekend nights. Late nights. We do apologize.
*Treasure cards - To make this fair, we will be throwing in a random amount of both low rank, and high rank treasure cards.
*If a significant amount of entries are submitted, it's possible we might go the random route for picking winners to make things more even and fair.
Good luck to all!
