Welcome! It's that time of year again where I am incredibly bored and feel like running a contest. So strap yourselves in, because I have no idea how to explain this but expect you all to understand
Everyone here is obviously alive, and each of us have had a different experience than the other. Some, while have only lived a short time, have a wild and interesting story filled with adventure and fair maidens, while others may be more of a relaxed stroll in the cake walk. Your job is to create a skin, centered around someone ELSE's life story.
To enter into this contest, you need to get out your pencils and write a short paragraph about your life. Please, keep it anonymous, and don't include your username. Who you are and what you do, that is all you need to write. HOWEVER, for a little bit of fun later on, at the very top of your paragraph, write a 1 word summary, with a number between 1- 50.
EG:
I'm an average person. Female, brown hair and blue eyes, fat, too. I hate standing out so I don't really like bright colors. I love animals, and a couple years ago I became a dog trainer. I also love gaming and my boyfriend [hint, NO NAMES]. One time in grade 5 I did an incredibly stupid thing and I now have a scar on the top left of my arm, I suppose I learnt that lesson, ehe.
(Seriously, that's all you have to do, a quick description of who you are and what you do)
To submit your paragraph, I'll provide a google survey document HERE and you can copy / paste (or just write it) there.
The way this works is that after an initial story submitting time of 1 week, every participant will receive a random story from another participant. Then, there is a 2 week submitting period followed by a couple of days for judging.
Try to make a skin best fitting to the description of your story, YOU WILL BE JUDGED ON THIS. Please include their 1 Word and Number in the title of the skin, and their story in the description. I understand people can forget this so I'll be reminding anyone who seems to have forgotten.
BUT this wouldn't be any fun without a couple of prizes. Thanks to the glorious Steam Sales (all hail GabeN) there are a couple of games up for grabs:
1st Place
2nd Place
3rd Place
4th Place
