About

Inspired by Description Day, this is a newly run contest to acknowledge all the brilliantly written descriptions out there! What's there to gain from it? Well, your fellow users will be able to see your incredible writing skills and bragging rights smile.gif

There are three basic categories: Most Original, Funniest, and Best Overall.

 

This month's additional category: Best Two-Headed Description - Who of you makes the most out of the two dragons in one descriptions?

 

I love the idea for additional categories and would love to have one extra such description every other month - What do you guys think? Do you have any ideas for categories? Please let me know in the thread.

 

Do you think YOUR description is awesome? Think it deserves recognition? Go ahead and nominate it!

Rules

* You may enter one dragon description per category (This rule applies to only nominating your own dragons)

* You may enter another user's description if you think it's good enough and deserves recognition

* Please make sure your scroll name is visible on dragon pages if you wish to submit your own dragons! (that way we can make sure users don't enter dozens of their own dragons :3 You can re-hide your scroll after approval)

*Nominations will be available for entry from the 1st to the 23rd of each month

*Voting will be held on the last week of each month (make sure to participate!)

*Please use this format when entering your dragons:

Edit: No one is allowed to vote for their own descriptions, once voting comes along, for obvious reasons

Eek, I forgot about this. I'll send my votes to Herk tonight!

 

Hey Lags, I think pinkgothic means they no longer sound like real words once they've been repeated so many times like that. Like if you say a word over and over and over again it ends up sounding meaningless. wink.gif

 

~And, votes sent.

Oh, I guess you don't know the "____ is no longer a word" thing, then? xd.png I'm not sure if it counts as a meme. It's when you see a word so often that it starts to look and sound weird, and some part of your brain becomes convinced it must be wrong (but you know it isn't).

 

Basically, what Dimar said. biggrin.gif

Hmm. No, I wasn't aware of that one! xd.png I do understand the effect though, that when you see a word too many times, it looks all wrong and no longer seems to mean what you think it does. i had no idea that was a meme now.

If it's for non-growing things (as all descriped dragons are) it's no big deal. I still fixed it for uniformity smile.gif
