AS MOST OF YOU ALL KNOW - since Matilda died, things wand-wise have been a little crazy. I.E - There is a stockpile in her Realm that nobody knew about (AND YOU ARE JUST NOW LEARNING ABOUT) and new ones aren't coming in. However, soon, there will be some wands trickling through.

How you ask? Well, I can't really tell you. All I can tell you is it's a chance to get your character. There are going to be At least 7 winners, hopefully. This depends on how many lovely quests we get (I LIKE TO BE TORTURED OKAY?)

This is the important part.

This opportunity isn't normal. In fact, there's no contest. At least, at this stage there isn't. For now, I'll just be looking through quest threads, picking and choosing the quests that get granted. Free. All the art? From my pocket.

Now that doesn't mean you have to get your quest done by May 1st. To give you all plenty of time, I will be choosing one or two winners a week. for the next 6 weeks. This is a long running contest for several reasons. One is that I'd like to get some back-work done and set it up Metaplot wise and have it sound. Second reason is that quests take a LOT of work - and while I'll be choosing a winner or so a week, I'll need time to work them into it and get their permission to do what I'm going to do.

Of course, there's a catch...But you won't know about it until I perk at your concept. Aren't I evil? Anyway. Start working on your quests. If you haven't got a quest thread up, go ahead and request to join the guild and start one up.

This is, once again, FREE so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If questers need ideas just poke around the main thread - we'll all throw ideas off at you. Trust us. We're looney, but we have some real talent around here. We also won't bite unless you ask.

Starts: April 12th
Ends: One winner every Friday until May 25th
Cost?: Free!
More In Depth


The above post was the simple annoucement made a week ago. This post will highlight and explain things more in depth as well as list rules that will need to be followed.

0. Read up as much as you can on GoTP and make sure your concept quest creature has a good source of information on it. If you can't find references, don't use it.

1. Not a rule, but a piece of vital information. One or two winners will be chosen every Friday. The contest will run 6 weeks.

2. Do not choose creatures on the Do Not Want list that will be following.

3. Try not to choose creatures that are too similar to existing children. Take a look at the GoTP Database to make sure you're not stepping on toes.

4. When you finish writing out your quest and are ready for it to be considered for the contest, put [QW] at the end of the title. Just do it so I know who I can choose from. This does not mean you can't edit it; it just means you think it's in the place to be considered.

5. One creature quest per person. You may quest for something another quester is questing for - there's no reserves. May the better quest win!

6. You don't get to choose which artist you get. Don't complain which artist you get if you get one you don't want.

7. Common sense applies. No begging, whining, entering with mules, raping and pillaging, etc.

8. Once you've been put on the QW list, you are unable to change the creature which you are questing for.


Do & Do Not Wants


There's so many different types of creatures out there that can be used as a Ghost - and usually, that's the problem. Unable to choose between so many. However, I thought I'd make it a little easier and post a "Do Not Want!" list based on things we have too much of or no longer really fit with the shop's direction that we're taking.

-Gods/Goddesses
-Vampires
-Humans with magical powers (AKA Mages, etc)
-Elves
-Plant-type (I love them, but we have three O_< wink
-Kirin (Again, Reserved >D)
-Dragons (We have an Eastern and a Wyvern now - we don't need another x.x sorry!)
-Horses (Excluding the Thestral & Unicorn quests)


AT THE SAME TIME there are things we REALLY would like to see. Such as the following:

-Myths outside of Europe/Japan. There are so many untapped things (Africa, Oceanic regions, etc) and other fantasy races out there that can bring so much!

-Someone pleasepleaseplease do a blast ended skrewt. *would die*

[b]Race/Species/Element[/b]
[b]Information on their previous life[/b]
[b]Personality from baby to adult[/b] (Baby is most important. The others are a basic outline - for we all know that RP Changes things. Changes, however, should be noted on growth forms.)

You may include more (infact, it's almost preferred!), but those are some of the things I -expect- in your concept. Please also keep in mind that your character must be magically inclined in -some- way and have died a horrible, wrong, or painful death. Also, brownie points if you include a guardian character concept as well.

The shop is possible the most amazing Breedables shop I have ever seen!
*Is in awe*

Awww, thank you Isthene! I'm glad you enjoy the shop =) welcome to it!

Thanks! I'm looking into quests as we speak.

Of course these are worth every cent of the 30k flatsale price or the 350k Custom price.

So I might just wait around for a FS.
