In a duel attempt to get more members and bring more mainshipping into the world, I'll be holding a contest.... and, unsurprisingly, it's a mainshipping one. XD
NOTICE 8/16/6
Changed the prizes around to even things up a bit and make second place a bit better. Grand prize is badass enough as it is. razz
Contest EndsNovember 1st
Objective
In whatever way/mediam you like, depict mainshipping. It can be one sided for one or more characters, it can be nonsensical and humorous, and it can be done any means you like!
Think up a creative rp and start it, write a good fanfiction, draw a cute picture, make a comic, do a photomanipulation- ANYTHING!
You have free reign, so have at it!
Rules-
1. Your entry must be YOUR OWN work. This should be obvious, but I'm stating it anyway. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT STEALING, YOU WILL NOT ONLY BE DISQUALIFIED, BUT TEMP. BANNED FROM THE GUILD! So don't steal!
2. It must involve some sort of love.... er, square between Seto, Atemu, Yugi, and Jounouchi. This does't mean they could all be together- Seto and Atemu could be together, while Yugi secretly loves them and Jounouchi him, or Seto could be jealous of Atemu, Yugi and Jounouchi being together.... WHATEVER! It's totally up to you, so long as all characters are involved in the main love line. ^^
(This is, of course, simpler with pictures etc. then fanfictions, comics and rp. ;3)
3. Remember the rules of gaia! In other words, pornographic entries are not allowed. (However, it IS allowed to enter works where the explicit part is on another site, as I don't believe this is against the rules of gaia. If your confused by what I mean, I'll simply state do not link directly to anything that is above pg13. :3)
4. Post your entries or a link to your entries here, along with your username and classification. (Ex. Fanart, doujinshi, fanfiction, rp.)
If its an rp, start it in the guild and just paste the link. ;3
For the sake of space, links ARE preffered to the actual entries. ^.^;
5. You must be a member of the guild. (Obviously- how else are you going to post anything? ;P)
6. There is no limit on how many entries a person can enter! HOWEVER, only ONE of your entries can win, no matter how fantastic the others may be! wink
Judging
There will be several winners and one overall winner.
If there are three or more enteries in a certain category or type (three or more fanarts, or three or more humor) then there will be a first prize for each of those categories.
To be fair to everyone, no one will be awarded for winning in multiple categories.
The following are what I will be judging on.
15 points Creativity The single most important thing- how creative and original is your idea?
10 points Skill The skill in which you excecuted your entry, whether it be written, drawn or something else entirely.
12 points Personal Tastes Obviously, I'll be biased. How much I like your entry will be a good factor.
10 points Extras/Misc Whether it be that I can't stop laughing at yours, or that I'm caught of guard by a twist in the story, that's where all those go.
13 points Characterization Again, a very important thing. How true to the characters are you? (Obviously, this matters a lot more in something like fanfiction then fanart.)
10 points Completeness Yes, I just added this. Because it's really needed. I don't think I have to explain this one. XP
Each category will be judged with each sepparately. The one with the most points overall will obviously be the winner. There's a potential of 70 points available.
