WINNERS!

Congratulations to the winners! And before I announce them, I just want to say, thank you to everyone who entered. I truly enjoyed all of the designs submitted, and even if you did not get an official placing, you may find a little gift headed your way. And don't be shy -- if you don't want your character, feel free to pm me, I'll probably offer you a fair price for it. XD (I'm a character hoard, ssssh, don't tell. ;D)

Okay! In first place, we have... ~Lucky.Irish.Punk~ with Corde'Tepente! I really did try to get Corde out of my head while looking at other designs, but it was pretty hard. XD In the end, their personalities just seemed to mesh really well, and I loved both his design and name. You may have first pick of the pets you'd like.

Second place goes to... it's a tie! XD I couldn't decide who I liked better! So we have a tie between Darkeyedwolf with Unnamed Entry #2 and Cerulean Wake with Birch. Just to be fair, I randomized to see who would pick pets first, and got this:
"There were 2 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
1.Birch
2.Unnamed
Timestamp: 2012-10-01 20:22:16 UTC"
So Cerulean Wake, I'll pm you after Lucky Irish Punk has chosen, and then Darkeyedwolf, you can go next. <3

Third place goes to... also a tie. I'm so indecisive, I know, but really, I wanted to hand out more prizes anyway. ;D It's a tie between Sapphiresmoothie with Aspen, and Eylsmear with Unnamed Entry. Again, I randomized to be fair:
"There were 2 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
1.Aspen
2.Unnamed
Timestamp: 2012-10-01 20:26:01 UTC"
So Sapphiresmoothie goes first, and then Eylsmear. <3

Honorable Mentions:
{I will be pming you about buying your designs, if you'd like to keep them, that's fine. I can offer any left-over prize pets, along with others from the non-prize-pet-group. ^-^}
--Sunset-- with Brown/Green Entry
Sarill with Etan
Kat2000 with Neo
<3

I'll start with the choosing of prizes now with our first place winner, and we can continue on from there. <3 When it comes to picking prizes, please have some courtesy -- please don't take ALL of the rare, valuable pets, leave a couple for others, especially if you're one of the first to go. <3 Thank you!

Dear everyone,

I'm sorry it's taking so long to get you your prizes! I imagined it would go a bit more quickly than what it actually is. XD The first place winner still has not responded to her trade, I'll give her another day or so and then figure out something to do so that we can get this show on the road and get you payment for your desgins. <3 Thank you all for being understanding!

Sincerely,
Pudd
