Description
March 2013 Imports: 2 Week Open Literature AuctionFor the deadline, check the group's main page for a countdown!
Auction is closed. See the journal for all bids and winners listed: [link]
- This auction is open to all members
- Gender, type, personality etc. are up to you
- If you do not want your design please let me know so I can open it for public adoption
- Any fawns who have not been claimed (registered with the group) within two months stand the risk of being resold to another player
- Send all bids in a note to the group. Bids in comments will be IGNORED.
- Bids are limited to 1000 words a piece; part of being able to write well is the ability to conscisely put your thoughts onto the page. There is no requirement for what an auction piece should involve, however creativity, character, personality and new ideas are what we are looking for, your piece should showcase these features. The word total does not include the additional information in the artist's comments (like Name, age etc). however this section should not be longer than the main bid either. We have the right to refuse to read bids where the information section is longer than the story.
How I will be judging:
A good character and good research is weighted as much as being able to pen a good story. Marks are given on character, personality, overall effect, unique and different approaches, correct information as well as the bidder's own writing (including punctuation, grammar, spelling etc). We are looking for pieces that capture the imagination and attention, and hold it throughout, with characters we want to read more about.
Bids should include the following information at a minimum in the artist's comments:
- Name:
Gender:
Age:
Height:
Eye Colour:
Type: (Body type, light to heavy)
Use: (If you intend to use the Fawnling for the Western Isles, this is where you say so)
Order is as follows:
1 2

I'm just going to try for all of them! They are so lovely and I really want a fawnling. Maybe I'll have a better chance if I go for more than one
Question though, can I type my bids in a literature deviation or journal form and link it to the group VIA note? That way I can send in more than one at a time and tweak things as I get feedback.

We prefer submissions to be in a literature submission, we just want the entries themselves (as in their links) to be noted to the group and not left in comments on the deviation, as bids are not being listed here.

Okay. If we were to put the profile we would use if we won along with the story, would that count toward the 1000 word limit?

Ehetere In reply to nyxxiis-stashaccount [2013-03-05 19:19:48 +0000 UTC]
Nope, the bid itself is 1000 words, the information etc is extra and not included in the total

If the genetics match up, is it possible to use an import design for a fawn produced by two current characters? Cus if that's the case, damn...I'm totally going for one of these!

Ehetere In reply to MichaelaElse [2013-03-05 16:15:30 +0000 UTC]
You might have to check with the current players of the Princes, since its important to their plot that there are a limited number of males in the royal line just as a warning

MichaelaElse In reply to Ehetere [2013-03-05 16:34:18 +0000 UTC]
On the list there is Don and Dru but account for Don's stag fawn from Sitka that is 3 (from 2 generations)
Sarek obviously would be half-brothers to Don and Dru

Ehetere In reply to MichaelaElse [2013-03-05 16:42:50 +0000 UTC]
Don and Dru are the only two sons of Ragnar to my knowledge for an important plot point, I'd advise chatting to the owners

Gah.... this is hard. I think personally I'm better at literature than art, but there's one in art I realllyyy want, and I don't want to use up all my slots yet!
Maybe I'll wait and see if any of my favorites on here get a bunch of bids or not. XD

TealMagpie [2013-03-05 15:48:39 +0000 UTC]
So, Is the character written stuff included in the 1,000 words or can we do 1,000 story plus character information?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ehetere In reply to TealMagpie [2013-03-05 16:05:28 +0000 UTC]
Nope, the lit bid itself is 1000 words max (we're assuming it will be some sort of story, but we aren't going to rule out poetry either) plus the character information, however if THAT is excessively long we'll be taking points off as well

TealMagpie In reply to Ehetere [2013-03-05 16:07:21 +0000 UTC]
well that is good news, although i find it hard to stick to word limits but i can try I'll get started on this now then!

TealMagpie In reply to Ehetere [2013-03-05 16:15:39 +0000 UTC]
fair enough xD If we d no limit, youd probably end up with about 5,000 words haha Just one more question though, can we do an illustration to go with these or has it got to be totally text based ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ehetere In reply to TealMagpie [2013-03-05 16:24:21 +0000 UTC]
Totally text based. You can do an illustration, however bids should be lit. submissions and no artwork will count towards the final decision.
