Wasaaappppp?
This is a contest run by your's truly,
based on any character you admire,
Or even the one you're RPing.
OC or Cannon doesn't matter.
Have you ever been somewhere that truly defined you?
Have you ever stood somewhere, or been with someone,
and knew at once that that was where you belonged?
Well, I wanna know about it!!
Whether you write about it in a short story or draw it out,
give me as much visual as possible -
show me the exact place that your character feels totally at home.
It can be their HQ, somewhere watching for trouble late at night;
it can be in their home town or somewhere flying up high in the skies.
RULES
- WHEE. You can make it realistic, dream-like, nightmarish, a memory, anything you want. As long as it's focused around that character, go crazy! Write me a flash back, draw me a mural, whatever you like!
- CLICHE. Keep off clichés as much as you can. I know it's tempting to put them on a building overlooking Gotham, but come on. If it ends up being all you can think of, I won't write it off, but I'd appreciate it if you tried for some originality!
- ONE. Only one character. You can put others in that situation you create, but you have to specify who they are, and why they feel at home where you've put them.
- TRIES. Only one try. Which means you can draw a picture OR write something. Not both. I'm taking the first one you show me as your entry, and the other is disregarded, beautiful or not.
- LENGTH. Please, God, don't write me a novel! I love reading your writing, but please guys, I have a lot of History homework to get through before I come online. I can't read Huckleberry Finn again! I can't do it!!
Minimum is three paragraphs, max is 2 pages for the writing.
- FORMAT. Please space out your writing. Blocks of paragraphs are difficult to read on this site if you don't list them over correctly, and my poor eyes are awfully squinty. This means write like I am now - small paragraphs, even a few lines, then put a space between the next one.
"Please write dialogue!" Psshhaa..
"Like this." Because I'm a neat nick...
"If you don't mind."
":3 Thanks~!"
- NAKED TIME. None of it. :/ Though this is probably a duh moment, nothing here allows porn, especially me.
- TIME FRAME. I'm starting the contest today on March 8th. I'd like to collect all the entries on April 18th.

Post these in this thread to hold your places!
As many people want to enter, you can!
REWARD
IF YOU WIN. . . . . . .
I can either make you a whole slew of icons (one or five of them, doesn't matter to me) by taking pictures of your characters and photo-editting them (I brag, I am very good at this, but piknic closes on April 19th, so I must enjoy it while it lasts.. T _ T) or by following your specifications, and using other pictures of your choice.
OR I can draw you something. Anything. Though I warn you, I'm not very practiced in animals quite yet.
If you want to check out my art, click here.
So either 1-5 icons or a picture will be your winnings from this contest, it runs through all of March, and you can write or draw what place your character desires to be and who they want to be with most.
Join join join! I can't wait to see all of your entries!!
