Hey everyone!

At the time of this writing, I have 376 watchers, which I think is really cool, especially when you consider that I'm not an artist at all. Just about every picture I put up, I have commissioned. That means, of course, that nearly all of what I post can be found elsewhere on FA. I know that most of the watches are reflexive responses to seeing porn, but I like to think that maybe my characters have a few fans too.

To show my appreciation, I'd like to run a little contest. I always get a kick out of it when other people run these, but I always figured I couldn't join in, not being an artist myself, but I think this might work. Maybe it will even be fun!


Contest in Brief

Whoever can give me the best idea for their character having fun with Slitherette will win the contest. The prize will be me finding an artist to agree to take on the idea as a commission, which I will pay for. There is no fee to enter this contest, and multiple entries are allowed. To enter, just post your idea as a reply to this journal.


Details

Okay, here are the finer points of this contest. The gist of it is explained above, but please do read these points. They're helpful!

--I'm doing this as an experiment. If the response is very low, or I don't like any of the ideas, I reserve the right to call the whole thing off. I think this is fair since entry is free.

--By entering, you agree to allow me to post the resulting commission in my gallery. I will cite you as the owner of your character, and provide a link to your profile, if you like. You must also agree to allow the artist to do whatever they like with the work.

--The judging will be conducted solely by me, by whatever criteria I decide on, and whatever whim takes me. I will pick the entry that I like the most.

--You may submit any idea from G to NC-17.

--A suggestion: Entries can be in-character (describing why 'Ette would enjoy your idea) or out of character (describing why it would make an awesome picture).

--I will approach the artist I think would be best for the winning entry, and attempt to negotiate a commission. Therefore, the value of the prize will vary wildly with how much I like the idea. I am willing to front up to $100 for the picture if the winner impresses me enough, so you -may- score a picture from a well-known artist. No promises, though! The artist actually has to be accepting commissions, so forget those big, -big- names right now.

--If you have reference pictures, please include links with your entry. Being able to provide the artist with good references makes your idea much more likely to win.

--Stealing and improving on other people's ideas is allowed and encouraged!

--I am setting a tentative end date for this contest one week from today, July 1st, 2008.

--My immediate friends probably shouldn't enter.
