Congratulations to Sadi Sidhe who won the haiku contest! Read the announcement here!
Note: To view the haikus written, go here.

Ends: 9pm EST, Thursday December 18


Welcome to our Holiday Haiku contest! The goal here is for you to write a holiday-themed haiku. Then the Staff will decide which one we find the most creative, or humorous, or touching, or whatever, and that person will win the pod. (Go with what you think will impress us!)

Rules:
    ✖ Anyone can submit a haiku, even someone with a Daruma already.
    ✖ You can only submit one haiku. Make those syllables count!
    ✖ Don't know how to write a haiku? Look it up on the internets. 8D
    (Okay, listen, guys. To make sure it's equal, I would prefer if people stuck to the 5/7/5 syllable method of writing haikus.)

Use the following form to submit your haiku:

STORYTELLING CONTEST
Congratulations to Count Cupcake! Read the announcement on pg 741.
And a second place winner, CuterThanYou wins this pod! Announcement is here.

Note: You can view all entries here!
Starts: 12am EST, Saturday December 20
Ends: 10pm EST, Saturday December 20


Welcome to our storytelling contest! By the end of the day, the submission we like the most will win the pod.
Here is how it will work:
    ✖ You must write a story connecting the series of images (in order, left to right) shown above. What you make of it is up to you.
    ✖ We do not want you writing 80-page novellas. If you can write something poignant in a short amount of space, all the better for you.
    ✖ The entries don't have to be particularly humorous or anything. If you try forcing humor, for example, your entry might suffer from it, so try to write the story using your strengths, not your weaknesses.
    ✖ You can only submit one entry.
    ✖ Anyone can enter, even someone with a Daruma already.
    ✖ Using mules is not allowed.

Use the following form to submit your entry:

[size=20][b][color=crimson]I'm a great storyteller! :D[/color][/b][/size]

COLOR A TREE
Congratulations to x___Doctor Ruri! Check the announcement on pg 782.
Starts: 11:30pm EST, Saturday December 20
Ends: 8pm EST, Monday December 22

Daruma's in need of a well-decorated christmas tree. What do you think it should look like?


The point of this contest is to either download this tree and decorate it, or else draw your own.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
    ✖ Anyone can enter, even someone with a Daruma already.
    ✖ You can only submit one entry.
    ✖ Both the template or any tree you draw on your own are valid. However, they must be your own work (no finding a christmas tree on the internets and posting it here, kthanks).

The pod winner will be the person with the most badass/awesome tree, so keep that in mind.

Use the following form to submit your tree:


[align=center][size=20][b][color=thistle]Why, look at this pretty tree! 8D[/color][/b][/size]

PICTURE POSTING CONTEST
Congratulations to Fweedle! See our announcement on pg 793.
Starts: 12am EST, Monday December 22
Ends: 11:59pm EST, Monday December 22


The point of this contest is to find the most awesome, badass, or funny pictures that you can. I will give you a list of categories/things to look for, and it is your job to find the best pictures -- the ones you think we will like most. You will then submit these pictures in a thread. We will look at each category and decide on which pictures we liked best. The person with the best collection/points overall will win the pod. Be sure to read the rules!

Here are the "categories:"
    1. Space pictures. You know the kind -- those renders of planets floating in the coldness of space, or a star going supernova, or meteoroids blasting into s**t, or whatever.
    2. Dragons. I want to see some goddamn dragons! Dragons are awesome. I am pretty sure I don't have to go over what a dragon is.
    3. Crazy architecture. Show us a building, church, resort, etc. that is just plain crazy. Who built that thing, anyway?
    4. Best gaian avatar that is not my own (Con). I know I am amazing, and no one can do better, but try to find the next best, k.
    5. Motivational posters. I think you know what those are -- pictures surrounded by thick black borders and some text underneath. Well, I want one.
    6. Evil animals. Some of them are, it's true.
    7. Pokemans. Well, you know.
    8. Holidays. Okay, okay, it is a holiday event, so you might as well give me a picture of something relating to holidays.

Here is how to enter:
    ✖ Post all entries in this thread.
    ✖ You can only submit one entry. Don't post more than once! Use the form below to submit your entry after you have read these rules.
    ✖ You can only submit one picture per category, so choose the best one. You should submit a picture for each category, however, to have the best chances at winning.
    ✖ It might be a good idea to save images to your own imagehost, so we don't end up clicking on a link that leads us nowhere.
    ✖ Your images should be different from everyone else's! If someone posted the same image before you, they will get credit for it, and you will get none. So try to find something new!
    ✖ The images can be drawings, paintings, photographs, photoshops, whatever. They can even be drawn/made by you! However, if you know who the image was by, try to give them credit.
    ✖ As always, someone who owns a Daruma already can enter, and using mules is not allowed.
    Do not edit your submission after you have submitted it. If we catch anyone doing it, they will be disqualified. Perhaps worse. So don't do it!

Use the following form to submit your entry:

[size=20][b][color=deeppink]I have pictures! For you! <3[/color][/b][/size]

[size=11]✖ Space: [url=linkhere][ x ][/url]
✖ Dragon: [url=linkhere][ x ][/url]
✖ Architecture: [url=linkhere][ x ][/url]
