Description
Apologies for the lateness of this, I had meant to have these out right after Christmas, but I lost the notebook that the information about what I was wanting in order to adopt them out, so I had to recreate that. :cPlease ask all of your questions about Yuols or the process here before submitting an application.
[information about Yuols]
Yuols are the Springs loyalty creature. These fancy furries value loyalty over anything else and as such have quite the complicated method of adoption. They are also incredibly rare. Yuols do not breed or come with any other abilities; they are more or less a badge of loyalty for whoever owns one. Yuols will be adoptable every year around the yule season.
Yuols are won through an application process, detailed below. Once you have been successful in an application, you will not be able to apply again. The only way to own more than one Yuol is if someone else trades you theirs. Take note that if you trade away your Yuol, you will not be able to get another one - Yuols see being traded as a sign of disloyalty by their owner (despite what other creatures may think about trading). Yuols that belong to accounts that become inactive in any way will become NRA and not available until Inactivity Claims.
There will be four Yuols available this year; the number available each year after will be three.
[qualifications]
In order to apply to adopt a Yuol, you must meet the following qualifications:
- You must have been a member of the Springs for at least three years.
- You must own at least 15 pets.
- You must have at least one piece of fanart/fanlit submitted
- You must have participated in at least one big event (something lasting more than two days)
- You must have bred at least one offspring.
- You must be active in the Springs community.
(see comments for an explanation of these qualifications and why I chose them).
[how to apply]
Fill out the form below and NOTE them to the Springs. Please do not post forms here.
Year I joined the Springs:
Number of pets owned:
Reason why you feel you should be granted ownership of a Yuol: Please keep these to 300 words or less. Your reason can incorporate your participation in group events, your submission of fanart, your ownership of pets, explorations/expeditions you've been on, your personality, etc. Anything goes. Emphasis should be somewhat based in loyalty.
Applications are due by January 15
[what you get]
If you are successful in your application you will get to submit a carefully chosen design-seed and a choice of what trinket you would like the Yuol to be wearing (the Yuol in the preview is wearing a bell; your choice would hang in the same place). Trinkets should be kept relatively simple - if your request is too complicated I may ask you to change it.
The Yuol's colours and design will be based on the design seed that you provide as well as a single descriptive word (ex: dark, angelic, natural, etc) so choose carefully.

I honestly haven't taken another look at the applications yet totally not afraid to.
My focus is to try and get through offspring/explorations/prizes.

One on van Gogh (focusing on the various Sunflower series) and one that I'm thinking of writing on Ancient Near Eastern psalms (comparing Hebrew psalms to other cultures of that area/time).

Oh my gosh, I hope my application is worthy ; v ; wow.
I do like how the conditions are spaced, they seem fair enough to me.
Activity is a subject term, yes, but knowing you, there's probably a method to the 'madness'
-edit-
actual question time. in the form, is it necessary to write a mini-essay for any/all of the different qualifications?

The reason part of the form is where you need to convince me that you should be one of the four chosen, using whatever examples you feel necessary to make your point solid. C:

You must have been a member of the Springs for at least three years.
The Springs is five (!) years old as of January 4. To have been a member for at least three years puts you over the halfway mark.
You must own at least 15 pets.
With over 4000 pets adopted out already, I think 15 is a manageable number, even for the more casual members.
You must have at least one piece of fanart/fanlit submitted
Any piece of fanart/fanlit counts, even if it was for a contest. This speaks to your contribution to the group.
You must have participated in at least one big event (something lasting more than two days)
We don't have many big events, but I try and throw at least one a year. Events are a great way to grow community in the group and participating helps that growth.
You must have bred at least one offspring.
Breeding is probably the biggest activity to do in the Springs. To have bred at least one offspring shows that you've participated in this regular activity.
You must be active in the Springs community.
"Active" is subjective. Do I know you? Have I seen you commenting and participating, or have you been lurking? An active community needs active participants.
