New Owner: Sketchi Tunes Congratulations!
viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1816301&start=10#p56277964
It was by no means an easy decision to choose you as Nonay's owner.
Your form was the shortest out of the ones that made it onto my "considering" list.
And I guess that just goes to show it's about quality, not quantity.
The reasons that your form stood out to me should be obvious.
Your prose is beautiful and the form [of the writing] is extremely creative.
Even compared to the other traditionally-told stories that clearly exercised a more comprehensive show of literacy, yours still clung to me.
For the structural bits, I just have to say that your story/poem/rap flowed so smoothly. It was easy to read and easy to feel, which brings me to the next points.
I always start my designs with a color palette and let them evolve from there. She was an Arizona desert with regal purple mountains in the back. She was a weathered stone- scarred and worn- I knew that much, but I did not go onto think of any reasons for her scars myself. After reading all of these forms and seeing the reoccurring theme of problems in teenagers and children that are becoming all too common lately made me realize that this is the kind of spirit I want this character to represent. A resilient soul that knows pain and overcomes it.
I also really enjoyed your choice of names. When I said "make the name meaningful" most[not all] applicants just went for something descriptive/in a different language that described the Kia's appearance. While some of these names turned out nicely, I always prefer names with a more sophisticated reason. Wordplay is a wonderful thing because it shows a level of creativity/awareness/literacy that is above the norm. This was a big point in why I chose your form, you did a great job.
And maybe you didn't intend it, but I read some symbolism into your story.
Whether that undertone was deliberate or not isn't the basis of my decision- you gave me a wonderful image and I think you will continue to create wonderful images for "Nonay Amehli Titanium".
Runner-up: Bunny Love Congratulations!

I will be creating a jeweled Kiamara to go along with your story
I probably just have a soft spot for Italian names, but Ciottoli DiArgilla is a beautiful choice.
I think it must have been the pretty-colored gems and the disdainful expression that made many applicants portray #285 as a bit of an egotist. Your form was not unique in that approach. However, despite giving Ciottoli this flavor of personality, you managed to make it stand out from the others.
But first thing's first. Your writing is beautiful, your characterization is great, and (while not flashy) that layout was really easy to read in |D
I loved the thoughts you put into the story. It really let me get a sense of Cio's voice, which sounds natural. You accentuated all the right parts, which gave the story such a lasting impression.
^ And this.
You ended it with such finesse, it just really sealed the deal for me.
In addition to those parts of your story, I appreciated that you also stuck to the theme of perseverance. That is, after all, the beautiful side of scars.

Okay I actually wrote too much for the winners, so I'm just going to make short little notes about the next forms.
These are in the order that I liked them, starting with the most liked.
Bacon. viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1816301&start=20#p56288822
Loved your writing, I can tell you know what you're doing.
Loved the tense emotion in this one.
Loved the way you worked in that roundabout self-harm theme.
Putting vicious energy into life brings you hardships in the end- loved your reason for the scars.

I'm sure I know you from some other adoptable thing I used to do (Snail Bath maybe?)
Loved the personality you portrayed.
You were actually originally my first choice- the first one that caught my eye that is.
Your name was great, I loved how you gave it significance without playing too much on appearance.
I feel like there's this whole narrator dynamic that makes this form a lot more sophisticated that it seems.
Is Bellator a reliable storyteller? What's really going on?
It makes you think, I love it.
@.@ I don't think it actually affected the placement of your form, but I could not find the gender anywhere...
I assume it's a girl, since Gemma is that sort of name, but I'm not sure;;
There were A BUNCH of other forms that I liked, but I think I have to make the distinction here.
I also want to give a shout out to those authors that told me about themselves and the things they've suffered through.
You guys, like this Kiamara, have the beauty of strength and perseverance.
I know how hard life can be. I know how people suffer. I wish you all the best.
I'm sorry if you are disappointed with the outcome of this owner-choosing, I really, sincerely wish I could give this Kiamara to all of you because I know by the effort you put into your forms that you've gotten attached. So please accept my sincerest apologies. I hope that another one of my designs will catch your interest somewhere down the road.
If you are interested in receiving input on your forms, just PM me and let me know.

Because that one step changed me, showed me exactly who I was.

What is a Kiamara?
A Kiamara is a wolf-like creature. They have long, fluffy manes on the top of their heads, running down between their shoulders. They all have spots on their bodies- a trait in which will never be bred out of their DNA. They also have feathers- every Kiamara is given feathers when they reach the age of 2 years old. Their diet consists of fruit as well as meat- they prey on similar creatures that wolves would. Kiamara can be very shy before they get to know you. Can you win a Kiamara's heart?
Let's do this for NON-OWNERS only ;3
Just to get some more Kia's out there in time for the ball~
You can add any extras, but I am judging primarily on BACKSTORY
I like a pretty form layout though<3
And it's a super plus if you make the name meaningful!
This ends on Friday May 31st!
Good luck!

- Tell me about yourself!
- What's the Kiamara's name and gender?
- How did they get all of those scars?
Things you must include!
This ends on Friday May 31st!
Good luck!

It is happening everywhere and to everyone, not just you, no one can see fontmeme and the fontmeme in my form had not been able to be shown, but i'd just like you to know that on fontmeme there is a button that looks exactly like this:that allows you to download your fonts, but you have to re-upload them using tinypic or photobucket in order for it to stay the way it is ^^ if it is downloaded and re-uploaded the site itself will have no effect on the fonts
If you want you can tell other people that c: I just got tired of repeating myself so many times haha
