Contest is go!

Goal:

A little contest for your characters with plenty of blog interaction! I’ve been in a slump lately, it would be fun to have some interaction and also a mini-arc with unexpected twists!

Entry types:

Art, Written, Voice.

Characters:

All age characters, so long as you think they can HANDLE THE PRESSURE. (especially with Cream silently judging them as she walks by) You don’t have to have a character that is a cook - they might just be a hobbyist or enjoy it or want to try their hoof at it! I’m not restricting it to ponys either - other mlp canon creature types can enter too (dragons, griffins) if you have one.

I expect honest reactions from characters. If they are clumsy they might cut themselves, drop and ruin a key ingredient, forget a step, set something on fire… if they are hot-blooded they might try to sabotage another entrant’s efforts, or start arguments… or maybe they fall asleep on the job, crack under pressure and run off, or are late getting things done… no matter what happens - it is all in good fun!  … so long as you don’t god-mode… no one likes a god-moder.

How does it work?

Entrants, through the month of November, be given a set of challenges to complete (or react to). This requires that you would have to commit to several posts. This might be given a specific ingredient to work with, being paired up to collaborate an entry with another blog, etc. Cooking recipes/results do not need to be practical real-world dishes. One ingredient might be clouds, or another diamonds/gems.. who knows! If they injure themselves, they may be out of the competition - or crack and run away! Perhaps a judge isn’t crazy about the cinnamon-apple-cloud-bacon concoction you whipped up and votes you out. It isn’t anything personal! The competition isn’t a judge of skill, but of your characters efforts!

Art blogs - I expect an honest try at something - maybe even short comics if it suits you. Try to include others that are participating and interact with what they might be doing as well. 

Voice - I would like to see you push yourselves. Write up a script to post with the entry, and add in sound effects (be it music or cooking noises)

Writing - More than a paragraph please!

Rules:

This is all in good fun. Please be sure you are ready to commit to interacting with others and meeting the challenges in your posts. Your character may be disqualified for a varied number of reasons in competition or hurt themselves or get into a fight - don’t put hard feelings on anyone - it’s all ‘in character’.

Prizes:

There are none. This is for fun, for blog interaction. You may have your character mentioned in voice or writing or drawn by others - if you don’t, don’t be sore over it! No one is being intentionally excluded. It will be simply how others react and choose to carry their interaction in the contest. Of course, there might be a prize ‘in character’ such as bits, or a stay in the castle ;3

—————
