Months ago I wanted to do a contest but wanted to wait until the summer so people would have more free time. So now that it’s summer, I’m going to host a contest! The contest is:
Do a creative piece depicting my dollfie, Ducan! Ducan (doo-kawn) has no story so the skies the limit! Contest runs from June 25th-August 1st and here is what will be accepted:
Fan Art: Do a drawing that showcases Ducan. Give him a story, give him a life, put him in an environment, just be creative! Any style from anime to realism will be accepted.
Fan Fiction: Like stated above, Ducan has no story so, give him one! Give him a life! Give him a story! Give him a friend! Anything! Just be creative!
Poetry: Write a poem about Ducan. What do you, the writer, feel when looking at him? What are his emotions? What are his thoughts? Be creative!
Wallpaper or Caption: Make a spiffy wallpaper or amusing caption using the pictures I provide of Ducan.
Here’s a few images of Ducan to help assist you all in your creative process. All images are very large so it’s easier to see the details:

So, what are the prizes?
First Place: AN ANIME WALL SCROLL OF YOUR CHOICE! (Winner will send 5 of their favorite animes and I will find a wall scroll and ship it to you. If you can not accept packages then I will draw a full-colored illustration for you of whatever you want)
Second Place: AN ANIME POSTER OF YOUR CHOICE! (See above however, I will draw a completed line-art of whatever you want rather then fully colored)
Third Place: AN ANIME KEYCHAIN OF YOUR CHOICE (See above however, I will do a nice sketch of whatever you want rather then a colored or line-art version)

PLEASE READ! Regulations: You may only submit ONE piece!! In other words, you can NOT submit a fan art and a fan fiction. Only one or the other.
Entries must be in by midnight of August 1st. No late entries will be accepted.
Please e-mail all submissions and links to me at: ElvesAteMyRamen@gmail.com or @hotmail.com. Include “Ducan Contest” as the subject so I know that it’s a legitimate email and it wont accidentally be deleted. Please do NOT PM me your submissions! PM me for QUESTIONS ONLY!
It is perfectly fine to upload your Ducan fan arts into your Otaku gallery and if so, then please just email that link so I can view it. It is recommended to put “Ducan” as a Tag so I can easily find it in case a link is lost.
Keep this contest fun! If I see any member bashing or harassing another person’s entry for spite, that heckler’s submission will automatically be disqualified.
This contest will be judged by 3 people. Myself, a friend who does not know anyone on this site, and another Otaku member who will not have a submission in this contest. This will keep things fair.
So that’s it! Be fun! Be creative! Whee!^_^

I mostly want to have this contest because I really want to see what kind of things people come up with. I mean, given a character that people know nothing about and then just told to give him a story, seems so fun to me especially when the character is already physically completed. Right now, I’m looking for the other Otaku judge. If you become the other Otaku judge then you can NOT submit anything into the contest. Sorry! Is there anyone interested in helping with the judging?
Well, enough blabbing for one day, I just wanted to get the contest underway and it’s 4:16am and I just got home from work so…ZZZZZZZ.
