I just noticed this was a two week contest!- You might have told me this before, I might have just spaced out a bit lol.

Put me down for a Flat Color Character Art Commission by my go to artist Arylett Charnoa.

As a prize for your contest.:raritywink:

4400353 Sorry. :twilightblush: We ended up switching to every other week back around contest number five or six, simply because the three admins, Terein, Achromatique and I decided that one week was just too short for people to think up and write a prompt. We were trying to give out prompts for people to try writing with, and we decided that two weeks was the best way to do it. I forgot to tell you and Dusk and Moonblast, and for that I apologize.

4400365 It's alright Golden.

I know now and am glad to see the deadlines are extended.- Works out just lovely in the end.

4400374 Yeah. Thanks for understanding and putting up with my mistakes. :twilightsmile:

Does the story have to be about referenced but never seen events, or can it be AU, or can it be something of our own invention?

4425227 It's mainly up to you. It can be about something that's been mentioned in the show, it can revolve around something that isn't shown in the story itself, etc. It's pretty open ended, so the challenge is up to how you interpret it. :twilightsmile:

So if I want to imagine something taking place behind the scenes of Equestria girls, and then something that didn't happen in the movie because those events got thwarted, that would be fine?

Smaug the Golden

4425422 Behind the scenes would fulfill the challenge, the things that didn't occur because of events I would say no.

4425475

Is the story due tonight or tomorrow night? The this day at midnight thing can be a little confusing.

4431399 Tomorrow at midnight. You still have a day.

Hooray! Thanks!

Blin. Wrong button. Sorry, I also forgot that fimfic counts apostrophes as words.

4435892 I apologize for asking, but what does blin mean?

4435895

Damn, like the exclamation.

4435899 Ah. I'm sorry that I'm unable to judge your entry, but I wish you luck if you choose to enter a contest in the future. :pinkiesmile:

4435915

Are you sure? Looks like I got still at least a half hour to go with prettying up stuff like indents and the like, which fimfic also seems to consider words.

Smaug the Golden

4435943 o_O Alright, I'll check on it once the deadlines up. I'm going to hold off final verdict until it's approved, just because I am ridiculously bad at judging what something's rated.

4435962

Okay then. Just so you know, I'm on the road right now. Normally I'm US East, but I'm currently in Central.
