Welcome to Gaia! ::

This contest is for newbies. Meaning, people that have LESS than three soquili, with usdia counting as half of a soquili.



The parents:
Zakaili (the father) Teyla Emmagan (the mother)

The two other siblings from this breeding:
Basket 1 Basket 2

What is going on: You will have to come up with the most creative thing that you can with the five very random words that will be given to you. It can be a story, a poem, a interpretive dance (which might be hard to post, unless you really feel like recording that and then posting it on youtube...by all means: please do! Mal will laugh. A lot.), a song, a picture...basically, BE CREATIVE! We do ask that the stories not be too long, maybe 300 words or so. Yes, we are giving you a lot of freedom to be creative with this.

Judging: The judging will not be based on quality, but on creativity. Jinx and I want something that entertains us. We will both judge them separately, before picking our top three and then we will pick a winner from those top 6. Pretty simple, right?

Hint: Yes, humour does go a long way...but, frankly, cheese does get moldy after a while. (:

Now, on to the important things!! biggrin

The five words:
1. Tree
2. Blue
3. Hula
4. Fox
5. Cake

I said they were random, didn't I? If you want to know where they came from, feel free to ask.

This contest begins now. It ends in 48 hours, on February 16th at 9:21 PM



If anything is unclear, feel free to fling me a PM asking for clarification, or to post in here. (:

Why would you like this basket? I've always wanted to are-pee in Soq, and I've always wanted a Soq. Hopefully this little fella can help get me into the swing of things around here.
Do you like RPing? No. I freaking love it. <333
What is your favourite song? Ohohoho~ That is a wonderful question... I have so many. If you'd like, I could send you a list of some bands. I'd love to. For I am a music fanatic. {and Major.} But for now, I'll have to say three.

Your entry: One day FetuEck, an annoying man that ressembles a chicken, went out to take a walk. His legs lifted much too high, as if he were high stepping, and his head jerked around awkwardly. As he was high steppin` it, he came across a orange cake. Staring at it for about 2 hours, a bird began to make a nest on his head. Then, after snapping out of it, he screamed at the top of his lungs "CRABCAKES ARE NOT FUN!" and scared the poor little bird. Resuming his walk, FetuEck made many enemies along the way. A nasty man named Scruff, who could be mistaken for a women from behind, decided to follow Fetu. He wore a fox around his neck, that was actually draining blood from his throat. Stalking behind Fetu, who was oblivious to the company, Scruff was soon stalked by a Tree named Hula; for he thought Scruff was very attractive. But as the blue skys became dark, Scruff grew a sense of paranoia. Whipping around, he began to strip tease the tree, causing it to shriek and explode. Immedeatly, Scruff began to cry. This made FetuEck realize that someone had been following him. Beaming, he started to talk backwards to Scruff, and slapped him on the back with a tortoise. That, in turn, broke Scruffs spine, and caused him to fall to the ground. Within four minutes, Scruff adapted to gain the ability to snake on the ground. And so, he followed Fetu with his face down on the ground, and his body moving without his muscles being used. FetuEck didn't recognize, and came to a stop sign. Staring at it, he started to back up, and stepped on Scruff. Scruff, blind at this point, kept going and slithered into the street where he was hit by a herd of blind seal riders. And FetuEck laughed.

+11 words. I hope that's alright. > <;

Why would you like this basket? I have been a closet Soq luster for quite some time, and I have tried a few time to obtain one of the beauties, but haven't been successful as of yet. I hope now is my time to shine!

Your entry:
It was a beautiful film;
The sky was a brilliant blue, there was a gentle breeze blowing the trees, every few feet an animal was seen, running through the forest. Over there, a deer! Up in that tree, oh my! It was a woodpecker! Oh, look! A fox darted into the bushes! How wonderful! The people walked a little further, and there was...
...What?
A bear doing the hula? Oh! A sign next to it helped clear up the confusion! It was a retired circus bear! How lovely!
The onlookers all chuckled amongst themselves and continued eating their complementary cake, and drinking their 'fruit punch'.
Hah! If they only knew.
The lush green forest that they thought they were paying money to see was actually in the desert! It was all a lie.
The cake was a lie.
o3o

Your entry:
Once upon a time, there was a blue tree that loved to do hula dancing. He was fantastic at the dance and had many fans who would swarm the forest just to watch his amazing dance that only a few luck people get to see (for it causes blindness to those who are unworthy to look upon his greatness). There was a fox who wanted to see the dance but knew that he was not worthy of seeing the greatness of the HULA; so as any deceitful foxes do, he devised a plan and he knew that it was not a good plan unless it involved CAKE. With the speed that only a fox could have, he came up with the plan and made a cake that if the tree ate it, then he would lose his amazing hula skill and the next person to eat the cake will gain the skill. It was a flawless plan! Nothing would go wrong.

But the fox did not do his research or he would have known that the blue hula dancing tree hates cake, so when the fox delivered the cake to the tree, it ended up all over him and not in the tree’s stomach.

So the moral of this little tale, is…. Well I don’t know… I’m too lazy, you figure it out.

Your entry:

The blue sea is vast
It stretches beyond the sky
Waves crash on the beach

The palm tree brings shade
A cool reprieve from the sun
With sand in my feet

A party begins
Hula girls dance by the waves
Their beauty unmatched.

Clever as a fox
I sneak to the large table
Plentiful bounty.

I spy a small cake.
My name and age are on it.
My birthday today.

((it's not though xD))
