Re-reposting of the Contest

Right, so, okay, this is just a quick little thing. I know that, somewhere along the line, I said that the character would be chosen at the end of Book 2 for use in Book 3... well, I've already started book 3 and the character hasn't come up yet and probably won't. What does this mean for the rest of you? Well, A) you have more time on the contest, which, again, needs a larger variety in submissions. And, B) that I don't have to go through and re-rewrite book 3, keeping it from being posted sooner. Believe me, this write that I'm doing is the second one because the original plot went the sum-total of nowhere. ~sigh~ This also means that I have the time to make sure everything in book 3 is perfect. ^_^ It's definitely more involved than the last two. That's all I'm saying! ~ SMS

There's still that character design contest going on. I have two entries, people, TWO, and while they are good entries, I'd like to have a little more to go on. So here's the lovely contest rules again. SUBMIT or face the consequences. ~glare~

As was posted earlier, there's currently a contest going on. I've had a whopping two entries and, obviously, I'd like to have more, so I'm extending the contest deadline... not that there was one to begin with. First of all, the contest is for a new character for The Animorphs Alternate Universe Series - yup, that's right, I'm putting out a contest so that you can do my work for me. ^_^ A little bit of my idea for this character is this - She's a Weapon, and her Caster is a Controller. She's about the age of the Animorphs crew. So, for the contest, I need a couple of things:

**A NAME (duh)
**The Basics - Exact Age, Date of Birth, Height, Weight, physical description (hair color, eye color, any scar, etc)
**Family stuff - What do her parents do for a living, does she have siblings, where does she live, are her parents divorced, blah blah blah and all that.
**Emotional stuff - FEARS - what the hell is she afraid of? Everyone is afraid of something, so give her something to fear - spiders, heights, dogs, cats, to name a few. Also, anything else that fits in this category, including family relationships - does she hate her dad because of whatever, or anything like that.
**History stuff - Her personal history. This one doesn't really have an explination or any real guidelines, so... have fun. ^_^
**Anything else that seems important - Exactly.
So you need to email me all this lovely stuff at shadowmoonsedai@hotmail.com , either pasted into an email or attached to one (.txt or .doc or .html files only, thanks), and with the subject line of AUS Character (just incase my evil Hotmail decides to Junk Mail it). Make sure everything is labeled so I know what it is! Have fun!
