Hi I'm new and have no clue what I'm doing but I love the theme. Can I enter with an exported avatar link code? Or is there another image you want?
Awesome!
Hmmm that 'export avatar' thing is from years ago. It makes some sort of card for your signature that most people don't use. So XD; nah. c:
What I need is an image of the avatar you want to use. That's basically done by right clicking the image, saving (or copying) the image, and then uploading to an image-hosting site (like Imgur). It's a fast process once you know it. :)This took like two seconds. I've got your current outfit saved right here:

If that's not what you want to enter, and you want to use items that you don't own, you can save the image from dress up too. (By right-clicking the avatar image from Dress Up). You can type in words like: wonderland, alice, tea, hatter, witch, ghost, zombie, etc to see what you get. Make sure you click "all Gaia" when you do this. The downside of this method is that you can't save the actual avatar and wear it around, but it lets your imagination not be limited by your budget.
I'm not saying you have to change it at all! I'm just mentioning it in case you haven't noticed it yet. ^ ___^
Also, for the future, here are some methods for how to obtain the image I'm looking for. Basically, I just need a static image that's not going to change when you change your outfit. c: The thread I just linked still needs to be cleaned up, but I thiiiink it should explain it. If not, let me know (cuz it'll also help me tweak the thread.)
And remember to fill out an entry form. ^^ I get that you were asking a question first. It's all good.
With that, I'm logging out for the night. So, if you do have any questions, hopefully someone else peers into this thread and can help. If not, I'll see them tomorrow.

Updated to here. In other news, the contest has been extended to Nov 6th at 11:59 PST. Juuuuust in case anyone else wants to enter. c:
Looks like I can still join the Costume Party. My apologies for being late to join the party. I had too many homework assignments due and they had to be done and handed in. cool

oh no, export avatar gives you six image links to choose from to post anywhere on the site. It seemed like what you wanted. I'm on mobile so it's a bit different too. But yes the avi I'm wearing is what I wanted to enter
I'm still awake so I figured I'd peek at the thread.
I'll add both of your entries tomorrow, Tyrus. Thanks for being (fashionably) late to the party. c;

Yeah, the export feature is misleading and I didn't explain exactly why I wouldn't want that link. > < So that's my bad. I just played it off like a joke.
The link that the export function creates isn't static. It changes every time you save a new avatar (even if you don't 'export' that avatar).
In this case, it'd work for this contest ... as long as you did not save a new avatar until after the contest is judged.
Problems with that method (that you'll see in the future): With events that span one or two weeks, you'd be stuck in the same outfit for daaaays. (Because if you changed, your entry would change.) (Or just submit very late each time, lol.) If you wanted to enter two contests... you can't. The link would change and only show your current, so it can't show two (or more) avatars. You can only use items you own. O: In contests where you have no items to match the theme, you'd be screwed. You can't create "dream avatars" and use those as entries. (Lots of people ask artists on Gaia to draw their avatars. You wouldn't be able to change until the artist is done. ...Or provide images of multiple outfits.)
Anyway, I totally get working around Gaia on mobile. It's not made for mobile, it sucks, and I hate it. XD;; So! it's all good. You don't have to copy/paste the form, but I still need the info. Like, it's pretty obvious that you're entering the Wonderland-themed "Trick-or-Treat" contest, but I just need to see you state in writing, that it's the contest (since there are two contests). Also, I assume you aren't adding an optional story?
Also, if you did want to enter the other contest too, you can go for it. ^ ___^ I've got the image for your first entry. And I can totally save the image for your second. It's super fast on computer so I don't mind doing it at all. c: Also also, don't worry about quoting this post to reply since I'll be checking the thread anyway. That way you won't have to scroll past my long, wordy reply in order to type yours. Depending on your mobile device, that could be quite the scroll. XD;; Most of my mobile Gaia time is spent on a small phone screen so I know I wouldn't want to scroll past all my rambling. XD

You're so awesome thanks!!! I've got an older cheap phone too. Thanks for putting up with me lol.
I took a look at the other contest and decided to play a bit. It ended up turning out with a cool avatar.
