Hey everyone!
So I've been on staff for a while now, and I've been wanting to say thanks to everyone for making this shop such an amazing place <3 You all RP so much and make me work my butt off adding stats, so now I want to give something back to you guys.
Basically, what I'm offering here is to buy an SC purchase for one lucky winner. This can be anything - custom-drawn items for your Soq, a familiar, a custom, a breeding, you name it. HOWEVER, this is me spending my own personal SC on someone so I'm going to personally choose a winner from the entries. I may make a shorter list and randomise from it, I may randomise from the entire entrant pool, or I may straight up choose someone and that's that. I will not be disclosing the exact criteria I use for choosing to anyone I know I'm sneaky and evil like that bwahahaha definitely not because I haven't entirely decided yet...
There are some rules though - so please read carefully to make sure your entry won't be disqualified.
Opens: Now
Closes: February 29th 11:59 PM GMT / 6:59 PM EST / 5:59 PM CST / 4:49 PM MST / 3:59 PM PST

What You Can Get This cash-in will take place during March. I can afford one of the following packages for a single month (from cheapest to most expensive for Phail):
Two Familiars Two FamiliarsThis allows you to get two fully custom familiars. They can be mutants. They can be any edit level. They do not have to be twins or related in any way - just two straight up anything goes familiar slots.
or
Two Custom Items Two Custom ItemsThis allows you to buy two custom items for your Soq. These can be scarves, pelts, jewellery, blankets etc... They will be custom drawn, not the standard stock items available from trading posts. You can do both items on a single soquili, or do one item each for two soquili.
or
One Familiar and One Custom Item One Familiar and One Custom ItemThis is a combination of the above two choices - you get to give one soquili a single custom-drawn item, and get one anything-goes custom familiar (any species/edit level/mutant level).
or
One Familiar Breeding One Familiar BreedingThis lets you get a familiar breeding. The breeding can be edited or unedited, depending on the parents. You will automatically get the maximum amount of offspring (5). Standard breeding rules apply - the couple will be placed on a breeding cooldown for 2 months and you personally can only keep a single child from the breeding.
or
One Soquili Breeding One Soquili BreedingThis lets you get a breeding. The breeding can be edited or unedited, depending on the parents. You will automatically get the maximum amount of baskets (3 for most soquili, or 4 for breedings involving elders) and may choose the sex ratio of the baskets. Standard breeding rules apply - the couple will be placed on a breeding cooldown for 2 months and you personally can only keep a single child from the breeding. Additionally, this breeding may receive optional spring twists.
or
Custom Soquili Custom SoquiliDo note, this does not include skinwalkers (pure or cursed) or MUTANT domained angeni (see the next 'package' for information on those <3)This allows you to get a custom slot. You can get the following: Twins - same sex OR different sexes - see custom thread to see what differences are allowed between twins
Mutants (including paws, facial mutations etc... - except for domained angeni, mutant domained angeni are in the next 'package' as I cannot afford twins of them)
Hyperhybrids
Any edit level (unedited-extreme)
Any rarity level mini-super rare EXCEPT for mutant domained angeni, cursed skinwalkers or purewalkers [see next 'package' for information on getting these <3]
Cosplays EXCEPT for domained angeni
Domains for angeni PROVIDED that domain has not been claimed yet This will put you on a 2 month custom cooldown starting in March for a solo concept, or a 4 month custom cooldown for a twin concept. You cannot get this if you won either a solo soquili custom in February (as your cooldown will not run out until April) or a twin custom in December, January or February (as your cooldown will not run out until April at the earliest)
or
Custom Skinwalker or Mutant Domained Angeni Custom Skinwalker or Mutant Domained AngeniThis allows you to get a custom slot. You can get the following: Mutants (note that mutant cursedwalkers cannot have paws/hippogryph claws)
Any edit level (unedited-extreme)
Custom Pelts for skinwalkers - cursed walkers can be any familiar species; purewalkers are limited to canines, felines, bears, bats, seals, and certain avians (crows, falcons/hawks, vultures, owls), snakes, lizards, alligators and hybrids of two of these breeds. Hybrids MUST be pre-approved by a colourist manager (mindsend, ATh e a r t or hanging gallow) BEFORE you enter them here.
Cosplays (for skinwalkers ONLY, domained angeni cannot be cosplays)
Domains for mutant angeni PROVIDED that domain has not been claimed yet HOWEVER, you cannot get the following: Twins - cost too much, sorry <3
Custom drawn feral forms for skinwalkers - the standard familiar templates will be used for feral forms for species that do not have their own feral form (though they may obviously be edited) This will put you on a 2 month custom cooldown starting in March. You cannot get this if you won either a solo soquili custom in February (as your cooldown will not run out until April) or a twin custom in December, January or February (as your cooldown will not run out until April at the earliest)
or
Cursing Pre-Existing Soquili Cursing Pre-Existing SoquiliThis allows you to get your already existing soquili cursed. You can get a custom-drawn pelt or an already templated pelt. Cursed walkers can be ANY familiar species, although templates only exist for certain species. This will put you on a 2 month custom cooldown starting in March. You cannot get this if you won either a solo soquili custom in February (as your cooldown will not run out until April) or a twin custom in December, January or February (as your cooldown will not run out until April at the earliest)

Rules
Staff may not enter.
Sorry guys, I love you all, but you can buy your own SC purchases <3 I will allow people to enter breeding concepts where the owner of the other parent is a staff member, but do so at your own risk - I may or may not be less likely to choose that concept.
Your concept (if you win) will take a while to get made.
Do NOT enter if you are impatient - SC work goes at the bottom of the worklist pile. A moderately quick SC cash-in could be picked up within a couple of months, and may not be completed for a few months are after that. And that's for a quick one. The more complex your idea, the longer it will take to make. It may well take over a year before you get your final completed concept, and you will have to be patient. You can poke me for updates, but you may NOT whine about how long it is taking or constantly pressure me/the colourist doing it. That will not be tolerated. You go into this contest KNOWING this.
You cannot specify which colourist you want to make your concept.
Sorry, but we can no longer approach specific colourists with our ideas and ask them to take them on. Instead, all cash-ins are placed in a thread called the yellow pages, where colourists can choose to pick them up. I do, however, understand that some colourist styles just don't work for some ideas, and will allow you to do a colourist preference list on the condition that you understand it will take even longer for your concept to get picked up/you may have to ditch this list ultimately if it doesn't get picked up after a long while. You will have to list a minimum of 8 colourists on this list, and it cannot be ranked. I highly encourage putting "Any" for your colourist preference list, however, as the time it will take can significantly increase (seriously, I've been staff for a year and a half and still haven't received any of my three first cash-ins. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE.) Additionally, you may allow collabs between unedited and edited colourists if you wish.
I can only let one person win (or two with a twin concept/breeding)
Sorry, I'd love to buy things for everyone if I could, but I only have so many credits and can only cash-in one thing per month. This will take up my March cash-in slot already <3 If multiple concepts really appeal to me, I may save up and surprise you with them in the future. Additionally, I'd really love to run things like this again in the future, so keep your eyes peeled! Just because you don't win this time doesn't mean I don't have my eye on you 8D
No whining. At all. Nada.
I'm trying to do a nice thing there and buy people ponies with my own personal credits that I've earned from working my butt for Soq (seriously do you have any idea how much you people RP you're all crazy, not to mention all the behind-the-scenes work on top of that). As such it is 100% up to me how I spend my credits. No whining about how I chose the winner. No whining about not winning. No whining about how something isn't fair. Whining will swiftly ensure that you will definitely not win a contest like this in the future from me. Capiche?
You can only enter a single concept.
Pick wisely. This isn't a "throw concepts at Phail in the hope that one of them sticks with what she likes", this is a "I really want this one thing for certain reasons, and I want to explain that to Phail and hope she understands why I really really want this one thing."
I will not be revealing my exact criteria for choosing the winner.
Sorry, but I don't want people trying to modify their form to try to appeal to me secretly, and that wouldn't be fair. I don't want to give people who know me better an advantage over others - I want everyone to be on equal footing here <3 There is a list of questions I have attached to the form. Some I will use a lot, some are there only to break tie-breakers between concepts I really like, some I might just ignore completely for judging. I will say this, the one question that is really important to me is WHY you want the concept you have submitted. Persuade me why you want your custom/breeding. Is it a plot idea? Have you had your heart set on it for years? The more information you give me, the more likely I am to pick you emotion_dowant
People on custom cooldowns cannot enter for customs.
Sorry, but shop rules are shop rules! I cannot buy you a custom if you are already on a custom cooldown. Be careful with twin entries. If you are entering a concept to get twins for yourself and another person, neither of you can be on custom cooldown. Don't worry, you can still try out for other things like breedings, custom items, familiars etc... And I'll be running something like this again in the future, so just be happy you already won your custom slot and look forward to the future ^.^ Additionally, soquili on breeding cooldowns cannot be entered for a breeding, obviously.
Two people may post the same twin concept/breeding form.
I'll be judging each post individually, but you are both free to enter the same custom form if you are both actively questing for it! <3
Do NOT edit your posts.
I will be reading entries as they are posted, so if you want to make ANY changes to your entry beyond correcting simple typos, please completely VOID your form and submit a new one. You may change concepts throughout the month if you so wish (e.g. if you win a custom and you were entering for a custom form, you can change it to a breeding or something else), just void and repost <3
You cannot enter a breeding that contains me in it.
I mean, you can theoretically, but I won't pick you. I'm not here to earn myself ponies, I want to give YOU guys ponies. So no breedings where I own one of the parents please! <3
Please fill out my form in its entirety.
If you miss out questions, don't complain when I don't pick you (well... you shouldn't complain ANYWAY XD). Remember how I said you don't know what criteria I'm judging on? That tiny question that seems totally unimportant to you might be something I'm weighing the judging on quite heavily. So, for your own sake, please fill out everything on my form~
No mules and no proxying.
This should be pretty self-explanatory. The contest is open for long enough that proxies are not necessary (plus I want your own personal input here).
Please PM me if you have any questions!
I know I sound all mean and horrible with this giant post of so many rules but I swear I am nice x.x If you have ANY questions at all, please feel free to ask <3 I won't judge you for asking me questions, seriously, I want everyone to not be afraid to approach me! I will ONLY judge people on what's in their form ultimately :3
