Hm... T'aurais pas la version Fr de toutes les règles/infos ? 0x) >3<"

Alors pour les règles c'est très simple ^^ :
- Il vous suffit d'écrire, dessiner, chanter/jouer une chanson le tout inspiré par le monde de Cérès. ^^
- Essayez juste de respecter le contexte de ce monde et les caractères et histoires des personnages.
(Parce que vous avez le droit d'utiliser nos persos de Cérès sans souci pour l'occasion ! Mais ajouter vos propres personnages originaux est vivement encouragé s'ils peuvent coller aux races existantes de Cérès ! ^^ )

Et je t'avais déjà passé un lien avec toutes les infos en français :P : http://ceresnextgen.xooit.eu/f11-Univers.htm

Ça veut dire que tu es intéressée ? :D

En effet, j'aimerais essayer. :3 (Un dessin avec Ishï et ma forme lapin. 0X'3 )
Faut-il raconter une histoire obligatoirement ? : 0
Le forum c'est bon, j'irais me renseigner sur les différents plans marquant de leur époque, si il y a. :3
Hm a-t-on quand même le droit de prendre quelques libertés par rapport à l'histoire ? x)
J'espère participer, bien que j'ai pas mal à faire avec la rentrée qui arrive. D'=
Et bonne chance ! <3

Oh oh, je sens déjà poindre la vengeance du lapin à l'égard du petit intrus qui a osé venir fouiner dans sa grotte perso. XD
Bah, un dessin qui représente une scène, c'est une histoire en soi. ^^ C'est ce qu'on veut dire par raconter une histoire en fait, il faut que la scène ou le morceau en inspire une. (Bien sûr, c'est plus évident de parler d'histoires réellement quand on parle d'écrits. Mais toute forme d'art peut servir à narrer une belle histoire :D )
Plans ? J'ai pas compris... é_è De toute façon si tu as des questions n'hésite pas ! Tu auras l'info à la source. XD
Tu peux. Après tout, on a pas raconté énormément de choses pour le moment. Tant que le contexte et les caractères des persos utilisés sont respectés. ^^
Ah je m'en doute. Au pire, je me demande si un mois c'est suffisant pour ce type de concours... C'est peut-être un peu short... Je rallongerai si ça l'est.
Merci, à toi aussi ! J'espère que tu t'en es sortie des devoirs de vacances ! >_<"

Eheh je ne dirais rien, je dois y réfléchir un peu, et si j'ai une question je te demanderais, pas de soucis ! X3
Après pour le délai, hmmm oui ça dépend, y en a qui ont cours, bosse et moi j'aurais que le dimanche de libre. é_è
<3

Tu as raison, la surprise c'est bien aussi. :D
Je verrai du coup, sûrement que j'ajusterai si ça dérange trop de monde ou bloque trop de gens.

Oui j'garde ça pour moi pour le moment ! eheh X3
Aucun soucis ! =)

Ouhhh j'aimerais bien essayer :3 !

Alors bienvenue, la porte t'est grande ouverte ^^

Are there any requirement for the story? Like minimal length or avoidance of certain topics? :)

Not at all, we want the contestants to be as free as possible to create wathever comes to their mind when they think about Cérès. ^^ (Respecting the World's lore of course XD )
But we might admit that we are not pretty fond of porn. ^^' Eroticism is okay if some people want to submit something sex related, but porn won't make people win one of our contests for sure. ^^'

Good to know. How much time do we have to submit our work, if we decide to participate? :)

As it is said on the journal : the 11th of October 2015 at Midnight Server Local Time. ^^

But I'm starting to think that it's a very short deadline for such a contest... I'll probably change it and maybe give the contestants 2 months instead of only one. ^^'

Yes, that might be a good idea. ^^

Donc, ce que je peux raconter l'histoire de mon oiseau avec plus de détails?
Pour le concours.

:D

Bien sûr, tant que Cérès et son univers sont mis à l'honneur et pas seulement ton personnage. ;)
Woopsy ! XD

Of course ! As long as Cérès and its universe are also the main topic of the story because it's the contest's theme after all. ^^
One more writer ! I'm so happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ! ^__^

Je l'ai fini décrivant les détails les plus fins de l'histoire que je vous écris. Je dois terminer très bientôt.

Avez-vous d'approuver l'histoire avant qu'elle ne soit autorisée dans le concours?
Il faut prendre certaines libertés lors de l'écriture, que certaines questions ne sont pas répondues dans le matériau source publié jusqu'à présent.

This sounds really exciting and I'm so happy that we FINALLY will get a writing entry !

Sure, I can check the details of the story with you first. Just send me the text via note or if you prefer via mail, as you want. ^^

Okay, a good question I have.

Do the ravens have paint? It says they are similar to human iron age and there was plenty of painting back then.

Also, hybrids between the animals and elementals can not morph to their animal form, i believe i remember that?

Sure they do. Their painting material are just rudimentary. Which means they use plants, fruits, minerals and coal to make paintings or create coloured powders that they'll use as painting materials. ^^

And it depends on their half Elemental part, because there is only one exception for half Nature Elementals who can morph into any creature they want exept other sort of Elementals. ^^
In your case, she's half Fire Elemental right ? Which means no, she won't be able to morph to her animal form. ^^

Oh okay, I am glad they have the coloured powders.

And okay, just wanted to make sure. It's important to the story that she can't. x3

Yes but, not of ALL the colours we have nowadays. XD

Glad I could help ! ^^

I seem to remember that the carnivore species like the wolves and the Tigers sometimes predate on the others.

However are there any other sources of meat aside from the other sentient races?
Such as small game or fish?

You're absolutely right. They totally keep on predating the other preys even "evolveld" species.

Of course ! There are all the other species that didn't evolved which means almost any northern hemisphere creatures from our world. ^^ + some from old ages like Aurochs, Megaloceros giganteus, etc (even dodos ! XD )

DODOS! :O

Alrighty, good to know~!

So does that mean there are also feral predators like sabertoooths roaming the land?

Dodos are the best birds ever ! XD

Yes there are, not that much but they are roaming aroung too (still Northern Hemisphere predators only !) ^^ And some sabertooths can still be found yes, but only far far on the North as the temperatures are not cold enough everywhere else for them.

Perfect!

Okay next question.
Are there any instances where the sentient species have "domesticated" non sentient predators for hunting? Like humans did with dogs. Maybe the wolves did with mountain lions or something like that.

Which way does the Ceres sun rise? From the east? West? North? South?

Is the Ceres map that's available have north as up?

And answers !
Sorry short ones 'cause I'm at work right now ^^'
- No domesticated creatures at the moment. Even for Humans.
- Just the same as for us, from the East. ^^
- And yes, up is North on the map.

Are there multiple sources of magi for each element?
Small ones and big ones?

Do non-magi get sick when they get close to sources of magi?

How do shamans get chosen?

What kinds of beings are the spirits?

Do the spirits have any relations to elementals?

Can elementals be shamans?

It says Ceres is twice the size of Australia.

Is it twice its size when comparing length and width. Or twice its area.
(It's a big difference in sizes depending on the answer.)

Is midnight server local time, 6pm GMT ?

Oh my, so many questions !

Sorry if I'll be short and concise again, I'm just exhausted from work. ^^'

So :
- There are multiple sources of Magi for each element, yes. But they still are few.
- They can be different sizes, yes.
- No, non-magi creatures don't get sick when they get close to a source. But evolved species can't reach them because Elementals are mostly protecting them very well. But it might happen weird things to non-magi creatures staying too long near a source of magi or drinking, bathing on them very often. ;) (Erh... don't try to bath or drink on Fire sources... they mostly are composed of magma XD )
- Apprentices get chosen by the present shaman who will learn them the ways of healing, guiding, communicating with Gods etc. Shamans can feel if someone has some great potential to become a shaman themselves. Dreams or transe rituals can be a way to get someone's potential revealed too.
- I hope you won't mind if I don't tell you what spirits are for the moment. 'Cause it could ruin the surprise of some scenes on the comic. ^^'
- But of course Elementals can be shamans. It just depends on if they have the potential and abilities to become one. ^^
- Well, Cérès is twice Australia's length and width. I thought the map would show it clearly. Sorry if it wasn't !
- It's midnight at Server Local Time, so, you can refer on the time showed down on FA's website. Why ? Can we change it ? O_o

Thanks so much!


As for the server local time, im not sure if they can be changed.
As of the moment that I am writing this it says... Server Local Time: November 30th, 2015 06:28 AM

I hope that's the same as it is for you.
If it is then there will be no problem with my submission. ;D
If it isn't, then I just have to finish typing it faster. (It is written on paper and I have to type it up into the internet.)

Hey there, do you still want to enter the contest ? If yes, don't forget to put your name on here ;) => http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7051858/

May I ask about the drawing side,
Does it have to be a comic of sorts? Or can we do it as a series of images? c:

You are absolutely free to tell us a story about Cérès the way you want to. So yes, a series of images is a totally valid idea. ^^ (Only one drawing depicting a scene telling us a story is perfectly okay too ^^ )

Aaah okay, and may I ask is their one place we can find the entire world of Ceres? Or did I miss a link somewhere c:

Sure there is ! Though I realize reading your words that maybe the icon with username might be confusing. XD

You can find all the infos (or at least, a lot of infos) you need on here dear ^^ : http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ceresworld
And if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask ! ^^

Thank you so much <3
I might go for a short comic style with the writing in the description <3
Thank you for giving me that link!

This sounds exciting ! And now I can't wait to read it and to see what kind of story you'll come up with !

You're the most welcome. ^^
And I'm proud and honored to be able to add your name on the contestants' list ! ^^

So... fanart of some sorts, that right? Because I have an idea, but need to know if that's okay x3
It can be a single picture, right?

Yes, that's the word. ^^ Even if I'd like to think that people may have some good inspiration thanks to the world we created... Oh my, this sounds terribly pretentious. XD
And yes, a single picture is 100% okay. ;)

alrighty, then I would like to participate =) ALso could you be so kind and tell me the names/ or link me the magic/element controlling characters? I went through the gallery but I think I don't have them all =O (Would like to do something with magic x3)

Ah so cool ! Mimi is on the place ! :D
Sure ! First one thing important to know is : at the beginning only Elementals can master elements and so "Magi" which is the name for "magic" in this world. ^^
But Hybrids from Elementals and other species cross-breeds are blessed by the ability to master elements too. Even if Elemental blood running through their veins was providing from an old ancestor.
One person can only master one element (but very happy few can master two elements).

And here you are all the existing elements ^^ :
- Fire.
- Water.
- Earth.
- Wind.
- Nature.
- Light.
- Darkness.

Maybe this topic might help you too : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14837847/

Bleh sorry, lots of things to read... at least, I'm a writer, maybe not a good one, but still a writer. XD

AH I actually read that hehe xD
And I know, but for example I know that Kuran and his brothers are Magi users, and I would like to draw an existing character =) So do you have a list of the characters and their element?

Ha ha, I'm too low ! XD
Aaaand, I don't. But I can make one for you. ^^
Would you give me just a little delay about one day to write it ? 'cause it's time to sleep right now on here and I'm working tomorrow. Bleh... (Time differeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeence stroke again !)

Yeah no problem at all, take your time =)

Done: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17884230/
=D Hope you like it!

Gosh the work on here !!! I simply love your entry ! Need to take some time to comment it properly ! Probably when coming back from work, but for now I have to leave, sorryyyyy ! >o<
But thank you so much for entering the contest ! <3

Cool how how do I enter?

Just by submitting a drawing, painting, text or song about Cérès as it is explained on the description ^^
And thank you for your interest. ;)
If you have any questions feel free to ask !

Oh and, if you really want to enter, please confirm it on here ! ^^ => http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7051858/

Thanx but the truth is, I'm a crappy artist, by this age, I should be able to draw like teens, I draw like a 6 year old I'm 16 for God sakes

And ? We are not here to make the best artist win, this contest is about what people have to say about Cérès and what will count will be the "story" you'll tell us about this world and what it inspires you. You can even write, sing, play a song, paint, drawings aren't the only option. ^^
So it's up to you to decide if you think that you want to join. But, for me, the message is more important than the graphical aspect. ;)

Ok thanx so I really don't have to try at all

Hu, okay XD

I came across Ceres a month ago, but too nervous to join then- so thought I'd use this account and enter! Naï is my favorite, but the elementals look so cool, I sketched both but will submit one. Please look out for it! :D

Aw, so glad that you think that this is a project interesting enough to be here today with such enthusiasm. Thank you.
And of course I'll be looking for your creations. Can't wait for you to submit it ! You're very welcome on this little world ! ^^

Are you having some problem with the patreon ? Don't worry if you can't see the submissions at first when you pledge. First you get charged, then the submissions appear. ;)

It took some time, but I made it :) Hope you all like it
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/183.....#cid:102982452

Hello! I just found your comic and would like to contribute to your contest :)
Hope I'm not late ^^;
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18388418/

DONE http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18388530/

Oh god, I have no idea how to upload stories, it took me over 10 minutes to figure it out.

Ha ha, but you did it ! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah ! ^____^

And your entry got added to the list ! No worries ! We'll read it as soon as possible and I'll comment on your submission to give you some feedbacks about it !
Which, I think, will be a great pleasure. ^^

Sorry if I can't do it right now. It's always a bit hard with work and all, weeks are always so busy... é_è

Yay~!

Do you mind if we take a more human look approach to the Elementals of Nature? ;w;

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean but, hey, I can't tell you without having a look at your work. ;)
It seems like the deadline time zone was confusing for some people so we are still accepting entries for one more day !
