Congrats Astraea Pandora and KazKitty!!

User Image
Starts: 20th of September
Ends: 1st of October


These two are the learned folks of the land. Oddly, they insisted on being given away via some form of writing contest. Capricorn wanted you to fill out a twenty page essay on why he should consider you as their owner, but Virgo thought it was silly and wanted a Sonnet written instead.

. . . As you can tell, I decided that they were being big silly heads and made things very simple for you . . .

HAIKU! Oh, HAIKU!
I just simply love to do~
Drives the King crazy.


That's right. You'll be writing Haiku's.

What is a Haiku? It is a three line poem made of 5 syllabuls for one line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third.
However, you aren't just going to be making one Haku, but Twelve. ..
Twelve shall be the number of Haiku, and the number of Haiku shall be Twelve. Thirteen is right out! , but if you want to write that many, go ahead. The reason for the number is for the number of the symbols on the Western Zodiac.*
*Yes, there is now apparently thirteen, but most of us were born before 2011 so it doesn't apply to us. It's the reverse Pluto.


Since we can't really do a prompt here ( as that would limit the awesome creativity that is all you wonderful HoA regulars, New comers, and Lurkers that we love so dearly), I decided that we'll just do a broad general theme.

And the secret theme ingredient for this event is:

ZODIAC!!

Original. I know right?

Costs: 5,ooo gg. ( Its to pay for my helper. <3 )

How to get in on this hot Zodiac action:
Fill out the below form, make 12 Zodiac inspired Haikus ( Galaxies the limit), and stock pile away 5,ooo gg in case you win.

Post all entries here.

Hey~ I've got a Haiku, or twelve, for you!

Congratulations!


Astraea Pandora
Virgo


KazKitty
Capricorn.

Please send a labled trade of _5,ooo_GG_ to PuddleInk ( ME) as well as post cert info in my Certing Thread..



Your entries stood out from the other two with creativity, humor, and . . . okay so one of you screwed up syllabuls ( . . . that's okay. Haikus aren't always 5 - 7 - 5 . . . and sometimes breaking literary rules is okay. . . right? ) , but your Haikus were very, very fun to read. In fact, exactly what I was looking for.



Anyways. Don't think that I didn't like the other two entries. I thought you two were great as well. A little too formal though. ( which isn't a bad thing!! Its great! Just...not what I was looking for this event.) Don't get discouraged! There's a fanastic Halloween event soooooooooon <3 And don't forget our fantastic colorists and customs!
