First off, I will list the prizes I have up for grabs.
THESE ARE REAL LIFE PRIZES.
If you're not able to accept real life prizes, I will have alternate AFD prizes below them.
Wren and Kurali can vouch for me. I'm reliable with personal information.
(Plus, it helps to know I'm not a forty-year old in my parent's basement playing D&D. ;D)
1. I can ship internationally,if the item is light. (Which means I cannot ship books overseas, but I can within the US.)I can ship internationally no matter what the prize is. They're all relatively small and light, so it should be pretty cheap. I've shipped to numerous places before, Canada, Puerto Rico, Texas, New Mexico, Pennsylvania... Uncountable other places I really can't remember right now.
- I don't have to ship to your house, I can send the item to any place you feel comfortable and are sure you'll be able to get it. Workplace, PO Box, relatives house, etc.
2. If you already have an item listed here, let me know, so if you are a winner that didn't claim an item, you won't get sent an item you already have.
3. EVERYONE will win SOMETHING as long as you enter! Some contests I will give real life prizes to whoever enters, sometimes I'll just give out Moles, depending on the difficult of the contest.
4. I will keep the left overs (if there are any) for future prizes or birthday gifts!
I'm listing shipping prices next to the prizes mostly so I don't forget how much I need to keep saved so I can ship them. ;D If you feel the need to pay the shipping (not more than $5 on any item) on your prize, my paypal is wetwhiskies@yahoo.com. BUT. If you don't want to you don't have to. XD That's purely optional.
IMPORTANT: You must be an active member of AFD in order to participate in any contest! You must be a week or older to participate. You are no longer required to have a character, but are encouraged to.
OKAY! So. Prizes:
PHYSICAL PRIZES:
+ Two copies of Tailchaser's Song.
"Meet Fritti Tailchaser, a ginger tom cat of rare courage and curiosity, a born survivor in a world of heroes and villains, of powerful feline gods and whiskery legends about those strange furless, erect creatures called M'an.
The hour of Unfolding Dark had begun, and the rooftop where Tailchaser lay was smothered in shadow. He was deep in a dream of leaping and flying when he felt an unusual tingling in his whiskers. Fritti Tailchaser, hunterchild of the Folk, came suddenly awake and sniffed the air. Ears pricked and whiskers flared straight, he sifted the evening breeze. Nothing unusual. Then what had awakened him? Pondering, he splayed his claws and began a spine-limbering stretch that finally ended at the tip of his reddish tail.
Join Tailchaser on his magical quest to rescue his catfriend Hushpad --- on a quest that will take him all the way to cat hell and beyond..."

"Varjak Paw is a small Mesopotamian Blue kitten who lives with his family in the Contessa's house on the hill. When a large gentlemen and two mysterious black cats enter the house, Varjak and his grandfather, Elder Paw, know something is wrong. The family is split apart, leaving Varjak to embark on a quest to the city for help. Using a form of secret cat martial arts called "The Way of Jalal," handed down from his ancestor, the kitten must make his way through the city and overcome obstacles such as angry dogs, gangs of cats, and the mysterious "Vanishings.""

+ One copy of Ratha's Creature.
"Ratha and her people (the Named) are a clan of a sentient self-aware cheetah- and cougar-like prehistoric big cats. They have laws, languages, and traditions and live by herding the creatures they once hunted. Surrounding the Named are the more numerous non-sentient UnNamed, who prey on the clan’s herds. Mating between Named and UnNamed is forbidden, since the clan believes that the resulting young will be non-sentient animals."
Shipping: $1.98 - $2.10

+ One copy of The Wild Road.
"Once in every age, there comes a special cat.
His mission is not to rule, but to guide the rulers to their destiny, to uphold the balance of the natural world, and to discover the leonine heart and spirit that is the legacy of all cats everywhere. Now, in the grand storytelling style of Watership Down and Tailchaser's Song, comes an epic tale of adventure and danger, of heroism against insurmountable odds, and of love and comradeship among extraordinary animals who must brave the Wild Road."
Shipping: $1.98 - $2.10

+ One copy of Firestar's Quest.
"Firestar is troubled by a warrior ancestor he has never seen before. This ancestor, Cloudstar, begs Firestar to rebuild an exiled fifth Clan called SkyClan, which Cloudstar once led. Firestar and Sandstorm find SkyClan's old home deserted, so they must find cats to rebuild the Clan. Rats, which had exterminated the ancient SkyClan, nearly wiped out the rebuilt Clan. Though Skyclan is victorious, a SkyClan cat named Rainfur dies and Firestar loses a life."

About the contests: These are purely for your enjoyment! I hope to make fun and entertaining contests that don't seem like a chore, some you can thoroughly enjoy participating in. I really want to make the site fun and inviting, and these contests--I hope--will encourage more OOC (as well as IC) activity and general interest in the site.
There are a few upcoming contests that will require a lot of effort, but I hope that it'll be fun and unique!
I'm in no way gaining anything from these contests (unless it's a contest to design a new layout, or suggest a theme, or make graphics for the site, or something like that), it's you guys that are winning! ALWAYS keep in mind that you will win SOMETHING as long as you enter the contests! No one goes away empty handed (whether it's with Moles, or a basket of cookies).------------------------------------------
Okay, winning the prizes is going to be strange. Because they are generally of equal value, the real life prizes do not have places.
You MUST claim an item to enter for, if you are interested in real life prizes. This DOES mean you will be competing with other members for this prize. There will be first, second, and third places for real life prizes (first place winning the actual item, second and third place winning AFD prizes instead).
It's not cruel, or favoritism. First place is decided on by how many tasks (referrals, advertisements, etc) you complete in comparison to other competitors.
NOW. I'm not kidding, these prizes are for real! BUT YOU HAVE TO ENTER THE CONTEST. They're not difficult at all, and personally I think the prizes are RAD for this sort of thing. (Especially Bastet! Everyone appears to love them.)------------------------------------------
So, what contests? I'll let you know when I find out how interested people are in the prizes. If no one is interested I'll keep them for myself. D<
Contests will be listed in stages!------------------ W I N N E R S ------------------
VIDEO CONTEST WINNER: DREAMER--------------------------------------------------------
CONTESTS:
THIRD CONTEST: KITTY PASTRIES
For the months of October-December, you'll be asked to bake kitty-themed cookies! Whether they're molded after your cat or a character, they should be made with kitty appeal and wrapped in the wholesome goodness of the holidays! (Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas themed).
You'll be required to take a picture of your cookies and upload them so they can be judged on design, cooking mediums, effort, etc. You'll also be required to have at least one comment from a house hold member who's tried them!
I'll be joining in on this one, and making my own batch to share. 8D Just because making cookies is so much fun (and freaking delicious to boot!)
You're not required to use any specific doughs, cutters, icings, poses, etc, it's all your own!
Just remember, if you've never baked cookies before, find an online recipe or get someone to help. x) I suck at cooking so I'll be enlisting the spirited help of my brother (who equally loves a good cookie).
If you have questions, please ask!DEAD LINE: DEC 25
