Main Shop thread


Welcome to Clearly Canadian's almost-month-long event celebrating my very favorite holiday, Halloween! Among several contests, the main event is trick-or-treating. But, since we're not able to reach through our computer monitors and grab actual candy, I came up with this version which hopefully should be almost as fun, and you won't get cavities from it!

How it works is that you post in this thread to trick-or-treat, but instead you yell out a word (ONE word please. If you post more that one word, I reserve the right to choose whichever of the words I feel like twisted ), then fill out the order form. There are four types of treats to choose from based on whether you want a growing or non-growing pet and the ability to breed or not. When the trade gets completed, you will receive your treat, which will magically transform into a Clearly Canadian pet on Halloween!

But wait a minute, back up that mushroom gravy train. What is the deal with posting a word? Well....whatever word you post is what I base the colors and markings on! For example, if you post the word "Quiddich" I might make your pet golden with wing-shaped markings, or I might make it some kind of blue and green with brown quiddich goalpost markings. Whatever strikes my fancy at the time. biggrin

Start Date:Sunday, October 9th at 11:59 pm PST
End Date:Sunday, October 30th at 11:59 pm PST

Pets will change sometime around 5 pm PST on October 31st.


Ye Olde Rules
~ Everyone may participate regardless of how many Clearly Canadian pets they own
~ People may buy treats for themselves or other users
~ There is no limit to the amount of orders someone can place for either themselves or someone else. (If this thread gets insanely busy I may limit the total number of pets, but I don't expect it to get much busier than I can handle).
~ All orders must be posted in the thread. NO PM'ING ORDERS!!! (The ONE exception is if you are ordering it for someone else and want it to be a surprise. IF ANYONE PMS A PERSONAL ORDER IT WILL BE DELETED)
~ Please send the trade right after you post the order form. If ordering more than one treat at a time, just add up all the treat prices and send one trade. If you decide to order more treats before I confirm the trade, just cancel your first trade and add the new order trade to your old one.
~ Please no begging/whining/guilt tripping if someone claims the word you want. Use a synonym! wink

Roxy / Rico


As you may or may not know, I am an avatar art whore. But I have a vast imbalance of timeerkat versus Clearly Canadian images (several dozen to the meager one in my signature). So what better way to get more art of this avatar than hold a contest?

You may be thinking "But I SUCK at drawing!" No matter! Any person who submits any art AT ALL, regardless of skill level, will get a ticket to this raffle. Heck, feel free to submit stick figures! (Though they do need to resemble Roxy or Rico in some way...)

To get a ticket: Just post your picture of Roxy (my avatar) or Rico (Roxy's brother, the male equivilant of my avatar) in the thread and state that you are entering this contest. They can be in any pose, and the bottles are optional.

In this contest you can win bonus tickets:

~ If you submit a picture with both Roxy AND Rico, you get a bonus ticket.

~ If you submit a picture of Roxy or Rico dressed up for Halloween (Keeping the basic raccoonish elements but dressed in something besides the black top and pants), you get a bonus ticket.

~ If you submit a picture with both Roxy AND Rico dressed up for Halloween, you get two bonus tickets.

PLUS - you get entered for as many pictures as you submit, up to 5 (Since I really don't see anyone creating more than 5 pictures for this contest, and this will cut down on the chance of someone just mass-producing similar pictures to gain an unfair advantage). And every image submitted will earn whatever bonus tickets it is elibile for (this gives people a chance at up to 15 tickets! eek )

Special thanks to Gullien (aka Gullyluff) for the idea of the one-wordness. If Gullyluff reads this, she gets a free Candy Corn pet for herself or someone else, she just hasta mention it in the thread to claim. heart

Mmm...Popcorn balls are the best. :q ::ish eating candy:: domokun
xd Though I've changed popcorn ball to candy corn for artistic purposes...

Friendly Gekko

*curls up in the corner with a blanket to await the opening*
*pets keeta* hey there!
*drags in a pile of pillows, some popcorn, and a portable DVD player and plops down with keetabirdy* ^_^



Smart idea on the candy corn- Will be much easier to draw LOL. Though I agree, popcorn balls are much yummier. (except the green ones- I really dont like those for soem reason)
Hey there glam! Ooh, nice and comfy! *plops down and a pillow*

Yes...a rounded triangle was much easier to draw than in irregular circle with popcorns all over it. whee I think the colored ones taste weird cuz of the chemicals. Though I prefer regular caramel corn over popcorn balls - the popcorn balls can be a little tricky to bite into at first (i have a rather small mouth).

Friendly Gekko

Hiyas whee

Hey Timeer, now that I actually have a banner for my shop, you want to affiliate?
