Tough as Nails Adoption (Closed for renovations!)

[Spotty]

Wow! Over half of them got adopted? That's great, especially concidering how many donations there where for last round. O.o

[Glowbee]

Holy cow! 70 pages! And over half adopted? That's awesome

[Toadfoal]

Wow, I didn't know it was possible to score more than 100%! (I want to read it)

[Ranua]

WOW great! 8D

[Vluaaq]

Shouldn't the small talk be moved to the fan club?

It's from the art bonus - with the bonus it's possible to get as high as 110% on a form, though that would be very unlikely to happen since it requires a perfect score on all counts. ;3

I should probably ask this on the fan thread, but I was just wondering if the scoring system is available to look at as reference to make our future forms better? Or would that be considered cheating?

[Atwood]

Oops, calculation error in my post above - it's 110% maximum, not 115%. The actual scoring probably won't be released, but it's fairly straightforward. Creativity in various areas counts for about half the points, and then there are also points for effort put into the form, spelling and punctuation/grammar, how well the character's personality comes through, how well the character fits the design, etc. For the spelling/grammar one, I do try to make allowances for people who aren't really English-speakers, and American spellings are accepted also; it's usually not a big factor, but if two forms are tied in every other respect then the one with fewer mistakes will usually win, so spell-checking is always a good idea. ;3 Art is evaluated in a similar manner but significantly pared down to just creativity, effort and skill level (which is the smallest factor and pretty much just a pass/fail mark).

My art was in the fail catigory. and as you can see, so would my spelling if not for spell check.

Atwood? I have a question. I really hate to seem like I'm rushing you, but I plan to be off for a few days. Do you happen to have a guesstimate of when the winners will be announced?
