Crafty Fairytales

2008-07-09 [Mordigen]: I agree, this does sound really really fun --- It'll be a bitch to judge though, because there's so much potential for such a huge range of items.

2008-07-09 [Jitter]: Indeed!

If there are loads of submission there might be a winner for sculpting, one for plushies etc.

I am just worried that people will try and cheat <<

2008-07-09 [Mordigen]: I'm sure they will -- there are always party poopers about :(

But I'll volunteer myself to help investigate on that matter if it becomes too big of an issue :)
(we have tons of that to do for the Herald, so I'm used to it :P it wont be any big deal for me to help out here too)

2008-07-09 [Jitter]: Thanks in advance ;)

2008-07-09 [Mordigen]: Or ya know what -- Why don't you just make it a requirement to show a *insert number* minimum of photos during the production process along with the proof photo?  That way, it'll rule out any cheaters because.....well ok, it'll be REALLY really hard to go to a store, buy something, and then FAKE making it ---- that's a ton more hassle then actually making it XP

2008-07-09 [Jitter]: Hahah! Indeed!
Actually it's the first contest (apart from the ECM ones) that older works are allowed. So it would be unfair for those who want to enter an old work. Unless they're like me and take screens and pics from whatever they're making :P

2008-07-09 [Mordigen]: aahhh....good point.

Well then -- my volunteering to help invesitgate is still open if it comes down to it :)

2008-07-09 [Jitter]: ;)

2008-07-12 [arthemis_]: OH I'm in, I'm in! This looks like a very very cool contest :D

2008-07-12 [Skydancer]: Hmmmmmmmm........ well, I do have some really nifty work but very old.... still... no reason I might not be able to make something fabulous as new work.. I need to get back to my magical crafting anyway.... :)

2008-07-18 [Thistlewood]: I have a guestion, excuse me if it's silly. If we provide pictures from while we are making it, does the water bottle need to be in the pictures?

2008-07-20 [Thistlewood]: Why do I have the funny feeling that my answer got eaten by
the latest crash?

2008-07-21 [Mordigen]: ggrrrrrr, I'm having such a hard time narrowing it down to only TWO *pouts*

2008-07-24 [Jitter]: No [Thistlewood]. If you have pictures of it while making it, the bottle is not necessary!

I probably should add that to the rules ^^; :)

2008-07-24 [Thistlewood]: Thank you!!

2008-08-08 [Jitter]: You're welcome!

2008-09-23 [Deleted1906721]: How did the deadline get moved from October 1st 2008 to January 2nd 2009? I don't think that is fair to the people that worked to make the old deadline, if I knew it was going to be extended to January I could have done a lot more with my entry and not had to rush to make the deadline...

2008-09-23 [Mordigen]: ok...wait...

how the hell is *extending* a deadline unfair? no one is stopping you from removing your submission and doing more with it now that you have the time.

2008-09-23 [Deleted1906721]: My entry is made of clay, it has already been baked and painted, so there's not a whole lot I can do! I'm saying if I knew I had until January I could have spent more time on it and done a few more things I didn't think I'd have time to do since the deadline was October 1st...

2008-09-23 [Mordigen]: ah, i see -- well..mm, maybe you can't edit it now, but maybe you can make another one of it that includes all the other thins you wanted to do with it now that you have more time -- or, you can always submit a second one, now that there is more time? :)

2008-09-23 [Jitter]: Well it either had to be extended or cancelled since there's not much point to judge only 3 entries. There was plenty of time in the first place and your entry was lovely. I'm very sad you decided to take it down and I hope you'll opt for puting it up again or make an even better entry if you wish :)
