So hey ;w;
...this is a competition c:

Let me first just thank you for clicking on this link in the first place. I hope what I have to
say will make you lean towards entering this contest, because I enjoy all the entries that I
can get!

Recently I have been writing a My Little Pony based story that takes place in a kingdom
called Aeterna, which is well-known for its constant business with ships and pirates.
While I do have a few main characters selected, I realized that I really need lots of extra
ponies to have full and complete crews on each ship, as well as more characters to play
both minor and major parts in the plot. Since I don't have time to design each character,
I thought it a wonderful idea if I had a contest! I always love seeing the entries of CS
members, so I opened up this design contest.

For guidelines and help, I added two long lists of likes and dislikes, trying to think of anything
that came to mind. I hope that it generates good ideas out there! Keep in mind that I'm look-
ing for all types of characters (you can see generic roles in the favorites list.) With these de-
signs you can add a personality, name, occupation etc. If you'd like to just submit a design,
I am just as happy!

The prizes may, but will most likely not, be subject to change. However, if I do not have the turnout
that I am expecting, I have the right to subtract values (this most likely won't happen c:). The grand
prize is only for an entry that I am completely in awe with, and may not be awarded. If you have any
questions about the contest or my story, you may either post here or pm me.

Thank you!

EDIT: I seem to have made an error. Could the mods please move this to competitions? Thank you c:

I am marking too!!
So, they need to be pirates?

[hdmwolf]

Thanks for marking!
They don't have to be pirates. Because the story takes place in a kingdom, you could create a shop owner, royal guard, a royal aid etc. You can create what you'd like as log as it fits into the time frame and surrounding of the story. c:

When does this end? ^^

[hdmwolf]

I don't have an end date set at the moment, but I'm aiming at somewhere between late May to early June. Of course, I'll provide more time if people need it c:

by the way, the gif in your signature is absolutely adorable <3

I already have some great ideas :3 By the way, can we enter OCs?

[hdmwolf]

Thanks for marking <3
I'm somewhat against accepting OC's because there are many problems that I can make while writing with them that the owner may not like, such as writing them with a different personality. If you pm me though, I may be able to work your OC into the story. It depends on the character c:

How many times are we allowed to enter??
