Frequently Asked Questions
How is this judged?
- Judges will be primarily focused on the story you tell about your CS pet and how it fits within the prompt. Grammar and structure are mostly important for readability purposes but are not the primary focus.
What if I want to use a pet I don't own?
- That's fine - but the image must be taken from the archive. You can only use a pet from your collection or from the archive.
Can there be other characters in the story, and can those characters belong to someone else?
- Yes, your story may have side characters, and it is okay to use characters you don't own (fandom) or from someone you know (with permission). However, your pet should be the main character and the only image/link in the should be to your pet/the archive image of the pet you're using.
If I dress up my pet or post, will I get extra points?
- No. The quality of the pet's dress up or the rarity of the pet will not be factored into the judging. As well, if you choose to decorate your post using coding or images, this will also not impact judging. Please make sure if you are using special coding on your post it is still readable for the judges. As well, any images added must conform with ChickenSmoothie Rules.
