westfallcorndogGuess WHAT, Nexus? Aside from Reynard's Winter schemes and depressingly disappointing Secret Santa gifts there's one more big Nexus Winter surprise, and this one has real prize(s)! Stuff! THINGS!! I'm talking about an Ugly Sweater Contest!
The Scoop:
I'm hosting an IC Ugly Sweater Contest with OOC prizes. Everyone who chooses to participate will rush to their nearest Google and/or personal closet and find the most apt (or hilariously off-the-mark) ugly winter sweater for their character to wear. They will then post as that character in the IC Ugly Sweater Thread with a link to an image of the sweater. (You may want to rehost the image someplace if you're afraid it will be taken down.) Characters are encouraged to interact with/make fun of each other's sweaters.
The contest begins today, Sunday, December 18th, and the period for entry concludes Wednesday, December 28th. Roleplay in the IC thread may continue, but entries are locked. A voting period will begin from the morning of the 29th until the end of the 31st (Saturday.) When I wake up and remember I'm part of this community/world on January 1st, I will announce the winner(s).
The Rules:
1.) For fun, you may participate with as many characters as you want. However, ONLY ONE CHARACTER PER PLAYER MAY BE OFFICIALLY ENTERED INTO THE CONTEST. You don't have to choose which one of your characters is your official entry right away, but when you do decide YOU MUST MAKE NOTE OF IT HERE IN THE OOC THREAD. You may change your entry at any time up until the official voting begins, at which time I'll be making another OOC thread with a flash summary of who's in and what their sweater is.
EDIT: Photographic evidence of the ugly sweater is mandatory. A text-based description will not pass muster. These abominations must exist.
2.) Unlike the US presidential election, the vote will not be hacked. When the voting period begins (see dates above) you will all be free to send a PM to me on this account with who you choose to vote for. Can you vote for yourself? Yeah, totally, but I'm going to know. I will, however, keep who you've voted for completely secret forever and ever amen. I would have preferred an anonymous polling system, but there's no way for me to assure that it's not being influenced by Putin. Everyone gets one vote, and in order for the vote to be counted you should have participated earnestly in at least two threads here on Nexus-Crossings at any time. I think this is a very reasonable minimum that ensures winners are part of the comm, no matter how casually.
3.) Prizes will be dispersed as soon as possible and by Jan 17th at the latest. They are:
– First Prize will be a full-body, full-color drawing of your character... in the ugly sweater. I am a malevolent spirit.
Depending on the level of participation, potential other prizes are:
– 2nd Prize: A full-body sketch of your character (again, in their ugly sweater.) No color, lineart a possibility depending on time.
– 3rd Prize: Two months paid DW time for the account of your choosing (doesn't have to be the account of the character who won.) Third prize is only delivered if there's participation of 10 or more unique users.
Yes, I'll draw your character no matter who or what they are. Canon, OC, AU, robot, furry, human, uh... amoeba?... Whatever. Only stipulation is that they're the one you rp, they win, and they're in the ugly sweater.
Any further questions? Don't hesitate to message me or post here!
