Contests Galore?

~ chaosoftheheartandmind ~ Leave a comment

Gaaahh…. Mea can be so bad at communicating at times. She went on a trip and didn’t let anyone know which is why there haven’t been any prompts for almost a week. Now that she’s back, I’m poking her to make sure she gets some Creatures related stuff done. Since it has been a while since the last post, this one is going to be a little bigger than normal.

You know it has been a really long time since the last Survivor game. Would anyone be interested in playing or running a new Survivor game, Survivor: Ark? Have it set on the Creatures 3 Ark and have it run during the festival?

Well, since both Civvi and Wesley have offered to help with drawing prizes for the contests, it would probably be a good idea to get a list of the contests up, wouldn’t it? So… Here’s a list of possible contests besides the Wolfling run.

– A Story contest: From the shortest stories of only a few sentences, to long sagas, all stories are welcome.
– A Spooky story contest: Since the first day of the festival will hold most of the spooky Halloween themed releases, Mea felt that the spooky stories should be separated from the regular story contest so that they can be posted with the rest of the spooky stuff.
– A Poem contest: Short or long, all Creatures themed poems are welcome.
– A Meme contest: Seeing all the Creatures memes last year was rather fun. What fun memes can you make for this year?
– An Art contest: From simple concept sketches to fully finished pieces, what art do you have ready to share?
– A New Creature Breed contest: From the strangest to the cutest, what new Creature breed concepts can you design? Art or just descriptions are both perfectly fine.
– A New Critter and Plant contest: Draw or describe new plants and animals that you might like to see in the game at some point. Who knows, maybe once Mea finishes learning to code, she might start making some of them.
– A Creatures Cook-off contest: aka Creature themed recipes. What silly, fun, crazy or tasty recipes can you come up with? The recipes can be real or fantasy.

Just remember, they can only be contests if we get enough entries for them….

Stellar Mayhem

Out of curiosity, what amazing sights do you think the Creatures on the C3 ark saw as the ship traveled through space?
Do you think they passed any comets?
What about asteroids?
What if there was something on one of those asteroids, what might it have been?
Do you think they passed any other space ships?
What might have been on those space ships?
What planets might they have passed?
What strange lifeforms might they have met if they had stopped to visit those planets?

Em will be assimilated!

Eeep! I think I might have annoyed Mea when I spilled that she was learning to code. She’s been trying to muffle me all day. I look like a mummy!
But that does give me an idea for today’s prompts. Crossovers!

As a borg norn I’m already a crossover with the Borg of Star Trek, so… what other universes would it be interesting or amusing to see Creatures running around in?
Could you just imagine an ettin running around the set of one of the Mummy movies, or Batman’s cave?
What if the portals of Docking Station’s Warp were connected to stargates of Stargate Atlantis?
What about Toxic Norns on Wall-E’s earth?
Which creatures would play the best with the Minions of the Despicable Me series?
What about the Yettins playing with the trolls and mini snowmen from Frozen?
What about creature species inspired by stories or movies?
What silly or crazy stories and art can you come up with for crossovers like that?
What about taking screenshots of your creatures and photoshoping the creatures into scenes from movies?

Also, Good News! We have our second submission!

More events?

Oh wow! Layla got so many entries for her wolfling run, she had to close it already, and we have our first submission! I’d better update the Events list.
Speaking of events, what other types of events would you like to see during the CCSF?

  • A small coloring event using the coloring pages from previous CCSF?
  • A poetry event with the submitted poems being added to the walls of a new metaroom?
  • A recipe collection event where everyone shares or tries to come up with Creatures themed recipes? Either real ones like ‘Justanut and Bramboo berry jelly sandwiches(also known as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches) or imaginary ones like the infamous ‘breaded hatchling norn’.

If we get the recipes early enough, maybe Mea will try to put some of them in the game! I saw her practicing her caos coding. Shhh… don’t tell her I saw that!
If you have any ideas for more events, please let us know so we can add them!

Eeek!

It looks like Mea sneaked in some changes to the site when I wasn’t looking. It looks like we now have a count down to the CCSF, as well as a list of events! Oh dear, it looks like she is also going to keep track of how many submissions have been sent in! I think she’s planning something… I wonder if she’ll release something special if we get enough submissions?
Hmmm…. Should I run an Ask Borgetta column for the CCSF? What do you think?

It was a dark and stormy night….

Well, I promised to provide writing and art prompts to help give people ideas, so, since the CCSF starts not long after Halloween, how about some spooky prompts?
– What spooky campfire stories might your favorite creatures tell?
– What if your creatures found something haunted?
– A haunted house
– A haunted cave
– A haunted egg
– A graveyard
– A haunted forest
– A haunted spaceship
– Trick or Treat!
– What treats do your creatures find?
– Or, what tricks do they play on each other?
– What are your creatures favorite treats?

– Special prompt for the artists: Creatures in costumes! How many cute or spooky costumes can you make for your creatures?

Welcome to the Pre CCSF!

Hi! I’m Borgetta. Some of you may remember me from Creature Cave’s Survivor : Arctic game. Since Mea can be rather shy, she asked me to help out and be the mascot for the Pre CCSF.
What is the Pre CCSF you ask? What I’m hoping it will be is something to help make the CCSF itself better by keeping everyone updated on what contests and events will be happening during the CCSF itself, any wolfling runs where they might need to submit their creatures before the CCSF starts, and for those who might want to make or write something, but are having trouble coming up with ideas we will post little prompts that hopefully might help.
Good Luck to everyone and I hope you enjoy the CCSF in November!
