Those you can turn in because I announced it late.[/b] [quote] [center][i]You shiver in the icy wind, and see a warm glow of firelight coming from a nearby cavern. Ducking inside, you take a deep breath of warm air with a hint of wood fire and cinnamon. Your scales prickle as they begin to warm, and as you look around you realize that the cave is full of other dragons. A slender, tattooed Pearlcatcher with large silver eyes walks up to you and smiles.

We're playing a bit of a game in honor of the Crystalline Gala, would you be interested in joining?"

During the long nights at the pole, it can get a bit boring around here, and while some dragons lock themselves up with a supply of food and sleep or polish their hordes, we decided to play a storytelling game! Think you've got what it takes?

[center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/lrBsMmT.png[/img] [LIST] [*]There will be four prompts released throughout the Gala. [*]You may submit a short piece of writing about 200-1000 words long for each prompt. [*][b]DO NOT[/b] submit more than one story per prompt. Because we will find you. [*]Please [b]DO[/b] put each entry in a new post. [/LIST] [item= ice runestone] [size=4][b]Format[/b][/size] Please submit your entry(ies) in the following format: [code]@FrostStrix @Reili @MTC @Surpirate @sailorlunatone @FrostStrix [b]PROMPT NUMBER[/b] [quote]*entry text*[/quote][/code] *you may notice that there has been a change in the code- you should now ping [i]all[/i] judges, to make sure you receive the appropriate number of judgings (2). Poetry, dialogue, and short stories are all acceptable, as is basically anything else you can come up with! Heck, you could write and perform a Broadway musical and we'd probably still accept it. At the end of the judging period, winners will be chosen in the first place for each category and then first, second, and third place overall! Expect the results a week or two after the end of the Gala.[/center] [center][size=4][b]Links[/b][/size] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1710848]Intro[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1710848#16837487]Rules[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1710848#16837489]Prizes[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1710848#16837497]Prompts[/url] [/center]

[/size] For Prompt prizes, winners will get a stack of food to tide them over on their journey back to their native territories. Each winner will also receive a Winter Wind and something randomly chosen from the skins or familiars prize pool. The highest scorers from each prompt will be entered into the Final Round, where there's a chance to win more cool prizes. Pun intended.
