To celebrate Halloween and my 200 watchers (!!) I'm holding a couple of contests! The prize for each will be an "egg adopt"! When the contest ends, the egg you see here will "hatch" into a unique character design that will be awarded to the winner!

For egg number two, the theme is "gilt"! To enter this contest, in honor of Halloween, you have to link me to something spooky! Comment on this submission with a link to something scary in written format only, please. That means: Creepypastas, articles, short stories, etc, etc. Primarily text-based pieces with a few still images are fine, but please no videos, screamers, or anything with sound! Violating the text-based only rule will result in instant disqualification from both contests! :( In the event that two people link me to the same thing, I'll give the entry submitted first precedence.

I'll be judging entries based on quality and spook factor- The more your entry creeps me out, the better! On the contest end date, I'll choose the best submission. The winner will then get to choose:

A. The species of the design (Anthro, feral, and humanoid are all a-okay! Obviously, no closed species will be eligible.)
B. The gender of the design

..and will receive a design of that species and gender, corresponding to the "gilt" theme! Sweet!

Bonus: If you signal boost the contest (via a journal, etc,) and let me know, there's a 50% chance (Determined by a random number gen, for fairness' sake!) that your design will come with a sibling of a random gender!

Only watchers will be eligible, but new watchers are welcome!

And the end date is: October 26! Happy entering!
