CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED! 0 ENTERED! sad
Hello!
As of this Friday or Saturday, October 31/November 1, I am going or on a hiatus. I do not know how short or long my hiatus will be or if I will return at all if it comes to that. It could be for a few months, a year, or more. I am taking this hiatus for various reasons that I rather not get too detailed about. Additionally, this hiatus was both expected and 'unexpected'. Either way, I am on a hiatus. To show that I am serious about this hiatus, or rather this hiatus is serious, I have turned off PMs, gifting is off, my settings are changed to something basic or more etc. I have, basically, cut off all ways to contact me on Gaia and turned off any stats/quotes etc. from going to my email as well.
I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused, please know that it is unintentional.
If you really need to contact me, please feel free to look me up on Solia Online and/or recolor.me and PM me through those sites. My username is exactly the same on there as it is here. I am rarely on either site, an hour at most on most days, but I do check them when I can. Please do not contact me to ask me to 'return to Gaia' UNLESS, again, it is for unfinished business (art payment for example). If I want to return, I will in due time, or not at all if it comes to that. I am, once again, not sure if I will return or not. If I do, obviously I will change many of my things/settings back to the way they were prior to my hiatus. Until then though, I am taking a hiatus from Gaia.
Thank you for reading and for understanding.

o Whoever wins will receive **1.5Bil gold. If the selected winner wants 25bil+ (including GCash Item of choice), he/she will have to enter NaNoWriMo and write in total ***25k or 50k words featuring my character(s). The writing has to be of ****decent quality. The same idea/plot/prompt/entry that was used in this contest can be used or extended upon for NaNoWriMo (if it is for my characters). The deadline for this is November 30th. Although, a extended deadline will be granted, up to January, if the winner provides proof that he/she had written at least 12,500 words by the end of November. The proof will have to be PMed to me.

Welcome to my NaNoWriMo Contest Thread!
Please note that any spoilers you see will have information that you need to read/view over. Open them to read it and/or understand the information attached to it.

WHAT?
- What is NaNoWriMo?
⦿ NaNoWriMo stands for 'National Novel Writing Month'. Basically, anybody can write 50k words, a novel, and all of this is during the month of November. It is mostly to encourage you to write a novel that you have always wanted to write. For more information about NaNoWriMo, such as what it is, how to do it etc., go here and/or here.
- What is this thread exactly?
⦿ This is a writing contest that will lead to NaNoWriMo. In other words, whoever wins this contest will be eligible for the rest of the gold I have (being 25Bil+ in total, including the winning amount for this contest). If you win this contest, when November approaches, you have the choice to write 25k or 50k words for one or more of my characters during the month of November (your entry can be a extension)! For more information, please see the next post.
- What do I have to do?
⦿ For this contest, write 1,500 words for one or more of my characters of your choice. For NaNoWriMo, if you plan to write something for me, Write 25k or 50k words for one or more of my characters in one story/novel. Prompts are provided, but you are welcome to create your own idea/story concerning my characters. Please see the next post for more information etc.
- What program do I have to use?
⦿ The program does not matter. Any text/document program that a computer can open normally is fine. Although I do prefer Word document if possible/wanted. Please do not use Mac or online only programs.
- What will happen to the gold if there are not enough entries/participants?
⦿ There has to be at least one entry/participant. If there are no participants or the only participant writing is really terrible overall, the thread will close by the end of October. I might reopen my writing request thread. If not, I will or might take a very long hiatus.
WHY?
- Why are you doing this?
⦿ My writing thread had plenty of bites. However, sometimes the writer disappeared and/or canceled many months later (and my gold would be 'frozen', waiting to give it to the writer at a later date). I'm hoping that by offering 25Bil+ gold for writing material will catch a few users or more interests, at least a little. Since I know there are a few that do NaNoWriMo anyway, maybe they will be willing to write 'for me' instead for a significant amount of gold (ignoring inflation). And I like to read as well. This thread was also created early for those that might want to write 'for me' during NaNoWriMo, and they have time to brainstorm and ask me any questions etc. before November arrives.
- Why not write it yourself or participate in NaNoWriMo?
⦿ This year might be difficult due to certain complications in my life. Although, I did NaNoWriMo since 2007, "winning" almost every year ["lost" in 2008], that is 6 years I have won, pretty decent if you ask me. I will try my best to do NaNoWriMo myself this year, but I cannot guarantee it like the years before when I did NaNoWriMo. If I do decide to do NaNoWriMo, this contest will not close due to that.
WHEN?
- When is the deadline?
⦿ The deadline for this contest is October 28th. The judging will take place within the same week, before November. The deadline for NaNoWriMo is November 1 to 30. The deadline for me, if you are writing for me for NaNoWriMo is also at the end of November, although it can be extended to January if extra time is needed. Although, proof has to be provided that some writing was completed during November (and yes, I will send a PM and/or quote you to ask).
WHICH?
- Which character do I have to write a entry/prompt for?
⦿ The choice is up to you. There are 5 to choose from individually, 3 together (see third post and beyond to understand what this means).
HOW?
- How do I submit my entry?
⦿ There are a few choices. You can post it here within a spoiler tag. You can upload the file to a site that can hold such files and provide the link to me through a PM (example RapidShare). You can post it into your own thread (test or not) on Gaia and provide the link to me. You cannot PM your entry to me. It has to be 'publicly' displayed for it to count.
Feel free to quote and/or PM questions if needed/wanted.
