I had an idea to spice things up in the group.

A contest that lasts from now to the end of August. Contestants are to create fan art involving the story The Lost Element. The top three winners will get their art featured in the story in the chapters that depict the scene they design.

Place your bets, fillies and gentlecolts.

I think people are not getting the notifications of new threads in this group's forum which explains the lack of activity

3473408 I'm starting to notice that as well...

3473408 That cannot be helped. The notifications were putting a great strain on the site's servers, so the admins disabled them.

Damn... I'd like to participate, but I better won't. The reason? Lack of time and lack of expertise about the story. Still catching up. Damn you, Humanity! Y U write so long chapters?

But, in fairness: Do you want B/W pictures or fully colored? Or is this of no importance?

3507113 Colored illustrations would be preferable, though I wouldn't mind seeing a b/w one to depending on how clear the scene is.

And sorry about the lengths. I have said it before, but I cannot plan that out.

Well, this was a waste of time, wasn't it?

No entries, no winners.
