This flatsale will be a little different from the first one. This flatsale will still have a 'question' that will serve as the basis for your Tall Tale's concept, however it will be a semi-custom question. We will restrict the beginning of the question but you can think up the rest.

Syrie Question: How...

Klaine Question: Why...

Prompt 1

You've just had a fight with your teenage Tale, you disagreed over an issue that seems petty to you but it means the world to your Tale. Later that night, when you check up on your Tale, you discover that he/she has run away. What do you do? And what is happening to your Tale? You may start at any point you want.

Prompt 2

You catch your teenaged Tale and his/her boy/girlfriend making out in your Tale's room. What's worse is that your Tale is a notorious heartbreaker and you know for a fact that said he/she is already seeing someone else on the side. Write out what happens and how you deal with the situation.

This is the form you have to fill up when you enter the flatsale.
Name: Name of your Tale
Author: It can be your username or one of your original characters, or even another humanoid breedable 'pet'
Gender: Male or Female (we will not be accepting hermaphrodites or gender unknown ones, sorry, maybe during a custom auction/contest?)
Personality: Is your Tale a sweetie or a total brat? Psychotic? Melodramatic? A wimp? A spineless push-over? Whatever personality quirks goes here.
Three physical qualities: Eye color, hair color, skin tone, distinguishing marks, whatever you like but limit it to 3 things.

Question: If you are going for a Syrie Tale, place your question that begins with How here. If you are going for a Klaine Tale, place your question that begins with Why here
Answer: The answer to the question you thought up
Concept: A detailed explanation of your Question and Answer

Response: The response to the prompt you're going for

Rules
1.) Flatsales will cost 15k unless stated otherwise.
2.) Once the question(s) and prompts are posted, you have at least 24 hours to respond (formally, so no *jumps out of the window* or -watches Tale leave- sorts) to one of them by PMing your response to the mule account.
3.) You may not edit your response once you've sent them. Doing so will land you in the graylist, and your entry rendered null. Exceptions can be made depending on the circumstance.
4.) Do not discourage, threaten, or make others feel guilty for trying out. The same goes for being rude, mean or bitchy if you lose.
5.) Send all trades to the mule account, any trades sent to Huni Pi or Syrie will be considered as a donation.
5.) Include the phrase "Tell me a story" in your PM. This is just to see if you read the rules n.n

Questions & Answers

Q: What if I don't have 15k in pure gold?
A: You can pay in donation items (valued at Mid-GEN) or we can work out a payment plan. n.n

Q: What's the difference between "Question" and "Prompt"
A: The "Question" is part of the concept of your Tale, the "prompt" is what you respond to during the flatsale.

Q: Why do the questions have "..." at the end?
A: Because it's a semi-custom question. If your Tale's concept needs a "How" at the beginning, simply go for the Syrie Tale; and if it needs a "Why" at the beginning, simply go for the Klaine Tale.

Q: Do the prompts correspond to what artist's question we're going for or can we pick either reguardless of which artist's question we've chosen?
A: No, it's the Question that will determine which artist will be doing your Tale.

Q: Are we allowed to show our form to other people and ask their opinion on it?
A: Yes, you are allowed to show your entry form to other people for proofing and comments, except Huni and Syrie.

Q: What's Huni's timezone?
A: GMT + 7 n.n which (after day light savings time was implimented) is exactly 12 hours AHEAD of EST or 15 hours AHEAD of PST

More will be added if necessary.
