First of all, congrats to all the winners of the last round!

Second, to all the judges of the last round: would you suggest that I come up with a toally new concept for Kennel 107, to have a chance in winning her? Since SabjeBammie said my form was bland (thanks a lot for being so honest by the way!). I would love to get an honest answer here too. Be as harsh as you want to be, I can stand it

And last: Might I remind you of something Roan. said last round about Kennel 107?

I'm going to request something to be added to kennel 107's kennel as I would like her name to stay the same if that's okay?

This can be added if the character isn't adopted out this round, but since there are already a few applications for it we can't change that right away. That won't be fair to those who applied and filled in the form according to the rules and requirements.

Its just because I also wanted to change her name, and I had a lot better plan for her with another name (yes the name is important for this kind of story I planed), but I wanted to ask Roan. first if it was okay. They said they would prefer the name to stay the same, so I decided to come up with a new plan for her and keep the name Roan. gave her.
Since its a new round, shouldnt this point be added to Kennel 107s info? Im sorry if I made myself disliked now, but since I adore most of the characters Roan. designs, I would really like their preferences to be known by everyone. Sorry again, if anyone is mad at me now. I didnt mean to make anyone angry...

First part:
You can change the layout, but forms with lots of images from Google, fancy looking headers/titles etc don't really give a big booster to your form.
Basicly it has to look organized, and your form does. You can try to add some things to your form. Some ideas can be found on the tips and tricks post on the first page.
You can also look at earlier forms in the pound for inspiration. But keep in mind not to copy anything, this will only let judges disqualify you. But you can use the ideas if you use the idea and make it your own work.
If you want more personal feedback on your form you can alsways repost it with the new codeword and ask for a critique. Critiques are meant to increase your chance on winning, and if needed critiques will give you some advice on how to improve your form

Second part, the name change.
This was posted a while ago and it skipped both mine and booklover's mind. I'm sure she'll see this and add it to the kennel's requirements

This leads me to this point to anywone in general:
If there is anything in the requirements you don't feel comfortable with (like don't change the gender), you can contact the original donor. It's best to include a printscreen of your PM and the PM you got as reply to show you could change it. If you don't your form will be turned down by the judges, even if you got permission. Judges have to be sure it's okay
You can easily make a print screen and crop it in Paint, then upload it on tinypic.com. You don't have to register there and you can upload the image in a few seconds.


Sorry if my replies sounded harsh or even rude with my judging. I was very busy, and I think booklover didn't really expected my votes at all. But as co-owner I still wanted to give my votes, so they were very short. This wasn't personal, I was just busy and I wanted to do it in a hurry. I read every word in the completed forms, but my replies weren't really usefull, besides a yes/no.
If you want to know more details, feel free to PM me and I'll give a more usefull reply, and I promise I'll be kind ^^



@shadow9119: Nice donations, I can't wait for the next round to apply for 1 or 2 of those

[Queen Vivane]

Ohhh thank you for putting that point out there SabjeBemmie. It should be really useful should I ever run into a kennel I love with a requirement that puts me on edge <3

[SabrinaB]

It is a possibility to do, but this doesn't mean the donor will agree
As they say here in Holland: "You have no, but you can get a yes"

[Karma.]

N O A H

Derived from the Hebrew name נוֹחַ (Noach) meaning "rest, comfort".

Username: Greetings! I am the one and only Karma! I currently reside in east England, with an overly large family and an adorable cocker spaniel pup named Hugo. I'm very into art and history, taking after my parents. I hope one day to perhaps become a champion horse rider - there is just one problem. I'm allergic to horses!

Kennel number: This stunning boy is in 31.

Why do you want this character?:
Um, hello? Why do I want this character? Because he's beautiful, that's why! Ever since I started collecting characters, I wanted to find myself a dog that had a normal look to it, but had something crazy added to it to make it stand out. And I must say, this design is certainly very individual!

Where will you use it?:
I will use him here on CS and she will be displayed on my charrie website. You can find a link to my charrie site in my sig.

What will you use it for?:
Ah, he'll be used everywhere. I'll have to show him off, so definitely somewhere where he'll get some attention. I plan on making lots of art for him, and would really like someone to make me a little version to put in my sig. Yep, that'd rock my party!

Personality:
-growl- you gonna' be asking questions for long? I got better things to be doing that wasting my time on you!
+ Affectionate yet absent-minded.

+ Persistant and not picky.

Noah is the glue that holds his friends together.
Trait list: Traditional, Down-to-earth, Energetic. Selfless and Helpful. Sympathetic, Scornful
Courteous: Occasionally
Risk-Taking: Sometimes
Ambitious: Typically
Curious: Never
Self-Controlled: Generally
Nurturing: Often

However, he is sometimes short-tempered and overly dramatic. He's driven, cheerful, energetic - perhaps a little arrogant.

♥

History:
He's affectionate, dedicated, brave and perhaps a little too bewildered. This is to be expected from somebody with his position.
He was born in a rich family in a developed city. He lived happily with his parents until recently, when things in his life changed. He became slightly sour after his friend died in a horrific car accident that they both were in. Their owner, Allie had been driving them both to the vets for their check-up, and a lorry had hit them. She died instantly, along with his friend Rory. He was left to wander the streets.

It was then when he had a dream that the dog-god came to him and told him he had to change the world for the better. Though at first not believing it, he decided to try and do something better. After working for many charities, he realised that helping people was something he truly enjoyed doing. After working for some time, he decided he wanted to further his education, and so enrolled in dog university. He studied a lot and was learning a new language. Through plenty of trial and error, he was trying to reach the top to change the world. He has a sense of humour that is outstanding, and it always keeps him ahead of the game. He is quickly becoming something to expect great things from. He lost his family was they were split up after a horrible flood and was headed for a life of misery. While pursued by the authority he had to survive in a corrupt world. But with his skills and determination, he managed to start a new life and escape hell. This has turned him into the man he is today.

He became more important to society and was gaining a little fame. Having overcome plenty of obstacles, he is unstoppable in a strange world. But with his honesty and sense of humor, there's nothing to stop him from going beyond expectations. He could quickly become a friend you'd want by your side.
But who really knows what will happen; he is currently enjoying the simpler life. He feels like there's more people to meet in this world.



The bandages are there to signify loss. He wears them in a sign of respect.

Thanks for the lovely donations, shadow9119!

First of all, congrats to all the winners of the last round!

Second, to all the judges of the last round: would you suggest that I come up with a toally new concept for Kennel 107, to have a chance in winning her? Since SabjeBammie said my form was bland (thanks a lot for being so honest by the way!). I would love to get an honest answer here too. Be as harsh as you want to be, I can stand it

And last: Might I remind you of something Roan. said last round about Kennel 107?

I'm going to request something to be added to kennel 107's kennel as I would like her name to stay the same if that's okay?

...Sorry again, if anyone is mad at me now. I didnt mean to make anyone angry...

I would encourage anyone to think up original ideas. My issue with your form was that it just seemed really small, and more effort could have been put into the history and personality. Also, a lack of art was...disappointing. I love seeing art, and I'm probably one of the only judges here who really counts art as the best booster - though anything extra is DEFINITELY great.

Thank you very much for reminding me - I completely forgot about that. I'll go and speak with Roan now.

And there's no need to apologize, as you did nothing wrong. You're perfectly a-okay.

Just updated Kennel 107! For any users trying out for the character in it, you should go back and edit your forms, as her name cannot be changed.
