1st Breeding Writing Contest

Original Event Details
Contest Begins: September 15th
Contest Ends: September 22nd

So, you have ONE WEEK.

Alrighty, I promised the breedings would open with the new shop version and I wasn't lying. However you have to prove me that you deserve to have your Ascendants bred first. The contest is totally free if you enter and if you were to win (the first breeding also makes use of a seed as well, giving you the chance of up to two extra eggs, the blossom(s) will also be free, if you choose to use it in this breeding).

Please read the breeding rules and send the form in short order if you do win.

If you win, like all other breedings, the eggs are yours do what you wish with them. Just work it out with the owner of the other parent.

This is a writing contest. Entries can co-written if you wish, just be aware that I'm only giving out one breeding in this contest.

Judging will just be done by me, so Aria can enter if she likes. heart

There are a few small rules to this contest.

1. Keep it PG-13, this is Gaia kiddies.
2. No rape or incest in breeding please.
3. Please be at least semi-literate and spell check your entries.
4. Creativity is highly appreciated.
5. PM finished works to me (mistalina13) you only get one chance, so once you PM it you can't change it.

You have to answer at least one of the prompts from the Ascendant's POV.

Prompt 01: Your mate spent a night in the nests with another, without inviting you along. Now it looks as though your mate will be laying a clutch of eggs soon. You have to confront your mate about this, but before you can you have to figure out what to say.

Prompt 02: You and your mate just spent a beautiful night together in the nests again. It has taken many tries to get your mate (or yourself) 'with egg' and you've finally succeeded. How do you react?

02

I watch the sunrise by myself this morning, Freyan is still asleep. I smile when I look at him, a tender, knowing smile. This time I am sure of it, my love... I shift a bit to be nearer to his warmth and watch the sun continue its slow rise over the hill. Freyan doesn't wake up until the sun is well above the horizon.

"So I missed the sun rise. Both of them, it would seem," Freyan said with a grin, touching the sun on my flank as I laugh. He calls my waking a sun rise as well for that marking, a sun burst in reds and golds.

"Yes you did, but you deserve the extra rest," I said. I'd been awake long enough know to be more than just certain. I know.

"Then.." he says hopefully.

"Yes," I reply.

"Whoo-hoo!" Freyan's leap startles me so much that I don't get out of the way in time and we both tumble end over end out of the nest and onto the floor.

"Hey, you should be careful toward someone with egg," I say jokingly and with a wink.

Freyan gets up quickly. "I was only joking," I say, but he heads back into the den and begins hurriedly tossing things about. "What're you doing?"

"We have to make room," he turns and grins at me and then I understand. Our den is currently a bit of a mess and is no place for me to be laying eggs in. I follow him and begin sorting through the things he has tossed about, deciding what we should keep and what we should get rid of.

"Wait! What are you doing with that?" Freyan asks worriedly.

"What, this? It's old and dingy," I say, holding a piece of cloth with the tips of my claws and making a face at it. "Where did you get it anyway?"

"...Celine gave it to me..."

My mouth drops open in shock. "You... kept gifts from her? Why? It's over!" I say more harshly than I mean to.

"It doesn't mean I don't love you, Eilorra. I just... never got around to throwing it out..."

"But just now, you reacted as though you wanted to keep it," I reply levelly.

"Just forget it. Throw it out already, why don't you!"

I drop it and take a few steps away. "Obviously you got up on the wrong side of the nest this morning. I'll come back after you've cooled off a bit," I say, my voice icy cold as I stalk out of the den. How could he? Keeping something from... from... that TRAMP! Somehow I feel that the happiest moment of my life is now somewhat tainted.

Starlight layed in the nest Nuko and her had gotten to last night. Stirring slightly, she opened her eyes slowly blinking. Yawning, she lifted herself up. Sitting down, she looked around for Nuko. " Nuko, were are you love? " Pausing, she spotted a sphere in the corner of the nest. Tilting her head, she looked at it. Still half asleep, she wondered what it was.

Nuko was standing on the side of the nest looking out. When he hears Starlight move can call his name he turns and watches her for a long moment before saying anything. "What is it hon?" He turns all the way around and also sees the sphere.

Starting to wake up, she leaned toward the object laying there. Nosing it slightly, she smiled. She felt her heart skipp a beat as she looked up at Nuko. " Come look dear. " It was an egg, she was so happy.

It could be said that Nuko didn't belive what his mate was saying at first so almost runs over. He jumps from where he was sitting and lands beside Starlight and looks down what indeed did seem like an egg. "After all of those tries it has finally happened!" He was so happy as he gets low and sniffs the egg.

Starlight smiled and layed next to Nuko, laying her head on him. " I know. I feel so happy. We finally have a child we can raise together. " She lifted her head and nuzzled Nuko gently.

Nuko turns and cuddles into Starlight's side. "I didn't think that we could ever create anything more beautiful then you." It was a joke.

Starlight blushed as she layed next to Nuko. Reaching over, she pulled the egg closer to them and cuddled it as Nuko cuddled her. Smiling, she looked at Nuko. " We've finally got the egg we have wanted. I'm so happy. "

Nuko closes his eyes and curls around the egg and his mate. "After all that work. We can really be a family." He was still tired from before and slow falls asleep

'Color Your Own'

Original Event Details

Starts: Sept 20th
Ends: Sept 27th at 12:00 Noon EST

Alrighty, so here this goes. This is another one of those 'Color Your Own' events, because it's always fun to see how creative other people are. But, this is a twofold contest, because we are looking for two or three colorists to join the shop as well. Anyone is free to enter this and you can color as many as you like, but if you'd like them to be made into official Ascendants, there is a 500 gold certing fee for each one, once they are certed they willl be added to a special section of the Owner's list that is just for this type of event. If they are made into official Ascendants become roleplayable and are able to breed if you wish to. These Ascendants will be considered the SE (Special Edition) generation, but would be considered as Generation 1 for breeding purposes.

You will only be able to color the adult lineart, but you have a choice of any availible Ascendant subspecies (Feather Winged, Wingless or Silk Wing). Entries will be accepted until the 27th of September. This will give you a week to color, so take your time. Quality and creativity is always appreciated more than quantity. Also, keep your Ascendants the original size when they are shown off it makes them easier to cert.

All colored Ascendants should be posted in the thread and trades for certing should be made payable to the main mule (Muse.Ascendant) with the page number they are located on in the thread title. All entries will noted in this post so they can be kept track of. Certs will be posted in the thread by either Aria or mistalina13 depending on who certed them.

LineArt Choices:
Removed From Here. ninja


The Submissions:
See this album. (password: ascendabove )

Event Report:
Not going really well, til the day before it ended, then a bunch of people came out of the woodwork. A fair turn around on certing too, lots of people liked the Silk Wing edit as well. We might do this again on a special occassion, and when there are more lineart choices.
