Caemgen's Commission Contents - Now Wassified!!
Contest #1:
Wassy welcomes 'Wheat with warm wings.
Contest #2:
18
Contest #3:
So Caemgen's backstory basically is just an overly complicated explanation to why he's Natural origin and not any of the others? Hmm... Aliens are also considered "natural" origin, even though they are not "natural" to Earth, they are "natural" to their own world.
There is a race of aliens on a distant planet that all look very similar to Caemgen, though their features are much more distinct and less human-like. One day a scout ship of theirs was studying Earth and ran into an especially large piece of space debris, crashing to the ground. While he was making repairs to his ship, he came across Caemgen's mother. One thing led to another, and seven and a half months later, Caemgen was born. The ship however only took two months to repair, and before leaving, the scout wiped the mother's memory of the encounter.
Contest #4:
Because I'm a sweet and helpful person who doesn't have a whole lot of extra spending money, but tries to give back to the community as much as I can, in the ways that I can.
Yoink, you yutz!!
(Edit: for #2 - 96)
(For #3: While his mother was pregnant, she was given a lovely antique metal lamp as a baby shower gift. Polishing it up, she was surprised when a genie appeared, and told her she was to receive three wishes. She decided to hang on to them while she thought of what to wish for.
That night, when hubby got home, he started getting a bit frisky. The slightly hard of hearing genie must have gotten a bit confused when he heard her say something about "horny devil".)
(For #4: Because I have a cute avatar! )

Do NOT edit posts that contain entries to #1 or #2! If you do something like pick a number or letter that's already been used by mistake (or because they posted while you were writing or whatever) then simply post again, explain and rechoose. Edited posts are ineligible to win contest #1 or #2!! |
Pffffft!! I'll let it go THIS TIME!
But all, try not to edit for entries containing #1 or #2 - I don't want to try to decide who really picked a number or letter first so the edited entry would be DQ'd...
Oops....wasn't even thinking about that. I'd originally only posted the first one, and wanted to add the others, and thought I'd not post pad. Ah, well.

*munches on popcorn* This should be entertaining. And by entertaining, I'll sit over here watching and providing snark as needed.

I deserve one because of my ample bosom!
It's hard to argue with that logic!

Here goes nothing...
1. Prissy Peter picked portrait photos.
2......42!
3. Well, here is my theory: Millenia ago, there was a race of people who resembled demons complete with wings and gracefully curling horns. Oddly enough, they were peaceful, only fighting when their homes were threatened.
There was intermarriage between that race and a few of the emerging humans (although this was discouraged -those who married humans were shunned and cast out). Unfortunately, the majority of the demonic race were destroyed when a meteor hit the Earth...the same cataclysmic event that eventually killed the giant dinosaurs as well. There was only a couple of survivors who had married humans and moved away. Their offspring were decidedly human in appearance, and so, the race of peaceful demons passed from the face of the Earth.
Their genetic material survives though, and once..every hundred generations or so, the right DNA sequencing occurs..and a throwback appears. Sadly, often he is shunned, as his ancestors were.

I don't have that much art, but I do write stories and I do collect art on
my DA account
2) Each word must be spelled correctly and names should be "real" names that are used more often than obscure mythology or SciFi, etc... Final judge on this will be me. |
But that's edit for exceptions to the rules!!! (unless I change my mind or something) :P
This is for number 4:
I've been having a rough time lately.
I had been planning to go to the Meet and Greet (in fact, I had bought a nice blouse for it at a thrift store), but when the Nor'easter hit, I discovered that there were 4 leaks in the ceiling...up from 2 the last year..which I had been assured had been fixed.
We decided to start apartment hunting, and the money I had put aside for transportation to and from the Meet and Greet (via the T's transit program for the handicapped) became earmarked for apartment hunting expeditions instead. So far, two areas of town have been ruled out, and I'm doing callbacks tomorrow,despite what hubby says (he says I should wait..)
At the same time, I decided to leave an SG due to reorganization- and another to reroll a toon (giving said toon a new powerset and name). This has lead to makeovers for two more toons..which means I'm gonna have to go into Virtueverse and redo at least two bios, so far, and add a bio for the rerolled toon...
Then there is that SG that I am helping to start up -(I've not been able to really do anything with it before now because I was busy with the SG being reorganized...)
There are other factors, too, that I'd rather not go into, for they are too trivial and mundane. Just suffice to say that I am so stressed...that I really really need cheering up...
And that is why I want a Wassy.

Poor Sapphy... there was an English rule, too. But she's trying so hard!
#1: Open ostriches offer orange ooze or ochre organs
#2: 55
#3: Caemgen's mother was new at it and didn't really know how to construct a baby in her uterus yet. These things take practice. She'll do better with the next one.
#4: 'Cause deep down, Wassy knows she wants to draw a picture for me. So a vote for me is a vote for Wassy. And if you're not willing to vote for Wassy, you don't even belong in this thread.
Contest #1 is closed!
That was fast!!
The letter was indeed O and despite the missing period, Jophiel started each word of the sentence with the correct letter and it was English even if weird!
All in all, I'm thinking the Jophiel residence has been missing a lot of periods lately!!
Congrats Jophiel! So, will the art be of the newest character created???
Hooray! And thank you kind sir for your continual generosity.

4. Why I'd like a Wassy arts of one of my characters? Well, I'm generally impressed with the arts community over in this section of the boards, plus I want to get more of a collection started so I can get inspired to start drawing again.
1. Quickwitted Quentin Quarry questioned Quebec's Quiz Queen's quadrilateral query. (Yes, this contest is closed, but a whole sentence with Q's took so long I might as well leave it in here)
2. 28
3. She glanced one last time at her family. They had begged her to stay. You can't trust the human, they told her. She heard their warnings, but she had to know if she was right, if what she felt for the man was love.
Whispering the words that would take away her mystical form, the young kitsune stepped into the radiant pool that would finish the spell. In a blinding flash, she fell to the floor unconscious.
They had left her on his doorstep. A young man they had hoped would look after their friend, sister, and daughter. It was not often they put faith into humans, and for good reason.
She had never told him the truth about her, about where she came from. When the child came he figured it out himself, but he couldn't handle it. The boy might not have possessed the powers inherent in her race, but he bore an unmistakable resemblance. A child of two races, of two worlds, he would be destined for greatness.
4. Did you see all those Q's? My brain hurts now.
#1. Trina Tottentrot trepidly tries to tritely turn twisted tricky tricks twice Tuesdays twixt two through twelve Tehran timezone till too tired to tarry trivially... top that.
#2. I choose number 1
#3. It's a Nemesis plot (isn't everything?)
#4. Because you have an awesome avatar. (ok that's not a real reason as I give away all my art on the forums never asking for anything in return... but I couldn't think of anything else off the top of my head)
D'oh just noticed Contest 1 is closed but wasn't going to edit the post.
#2 - 13
#3 - I began with your story and added on
He was a little furry red bouncing bundle of weirdness with a tail, litle nubby horns and even budding wings. Of course his father freaker out and thought he was a mutant... Baby Caemgen was tested and nope... Not a mutant gene about him. Next Daddy dearest assumed that Mommy had congress with demons or somesuch... But no go, all mystical experts agree that there is no magical aura about the kid at all. Daddy still stormed off in a tizzy and was never seen again though.
As Caemgen grew he wondered why he looks so different from others, but it seemed no one could answer this for him. One day he came across this temple like structure within a vast forest. As he approached he noticed statuesque figures on balconies and ledges throughout the temple grounds. These figures seemed almost familuar to him somehow, then it hit him, these look just like him. As if on instinct he rushed for the gates. A simply dressed man met him at the gate, "Greetings Caemgen, we have expected your arrival for some time." the man said. Without another word the gates opened and the man began to walk to inside, uneasy Caemgen followed him, "What could he know of me?", Caemgen pondered.
The man stopped in what seemed to be a large banquet hall, "You must have many questions, let me assure you they will all be answered here." he said. As Caemgen began to study the walls he found paintings of other beast like creatures who seemed to resemble him in many features. Then he noticed a painting of his mother, she was elegant and demure, almost goddess like. "Ahh I see you found the painting of the one you call mother." the man said. "She is a powerful priestess among our kind, blessed with enchantment of mortal men, but curesed to bare children with a likeness of demons if she breeds with one of mortal blood. You are the last of such children. Your father was left without answers and in turn you were left without a father. You have many gifts from your mother, such as the control of fire from within your soul. You alone will decide your path in this world, but know this, should you decide to walk a path of righteousness you will be blessed by many Gods, should you choose a path of darkness you wil be cursed for all eternity." the man continued this story for many hours till dawn approached. Caemgen was given refuge to sleep, and a feast when he woke. The man he came to know as the temple High Priest, wise and powerful. The High Priest had offered to Caemgen living quarters within the temple but Caemgen refused them. With the answers he had been seeking, Caemgen said his farewell and decided it was time to set his path, whatever that may be.
#4 - I passed my CPR and First Aide Training courses yesterday, and this would make a great congrats typed "pat on the back" for doing this as I was so nervous I almost didn't even try. Some of you may already know I am a non-medical in home care giver so this was something I HAD TO HAVE in order to keep my job.

What the heck, looks like it's time to give away more arts... And this time the arts will be done by our very own WASSY!!
That's correct, now you too can get some Wassirific, Wastastic Wassy Art of your very own for the low low price of... NOTHING! If you can pass up an offer like this then you're obviously lost and in the wrong part of the forums!
Details on the exact product being given away can be found on Wassy's DA page here.
Still, I'll quote an important part:
So... What is the contest?
Good question! I started posting before I even decided! Ok, let's see... I have 4 spots to give away so... 4 contests, right?
Contest 1 - The Alphabet Challenge!
To enter, each contestant must post a sentence composed entirely of words all starting with the same letter. If the letter chosen is the letter I have prepicked then they will win a free Wassy Art!
Example: Zack zapped Zeke. (This would be a good entry.)
Bad Example: Zack zapped a zebra. ("a" doesn't start with "z" so disqualified!)
Rules:
1) Each person can only enter this contest once every 48 hours so that we can perhaps get every letter done by a different person. And that is 48 hours from their last entry in this contest.
2) Each word must be spelled correctly and names should be "real" names that are used more often than obscure mythology or SciFi, etc... Final judge on this will be me.
3) Sentence can be as long or short as you wish but must make sense and have some relationship to proper English. Again, I am the final judge on this.
4) Other rules may or may not be added, retroactively or not, as I see the need... Hopefully I won't have to but I'm doing this on the fly and *shrug* who knows what obvious gaps I'm missing?
Contest 2 - The Numerical Cliche!
Tried and true, but that's no reason not to use it! Pick a number contest... I'll prepick a number between 0 and 101 (so all number from 1 to 100 are eligible...) and the first to guess it wins Wassy Art! (hmm, that should be trademarked...)
Rules:
1) 1 guess per person every 12 hours. That means you cannot pick a number again until 12 hours after the last time you picked. If you do, you are DQ'd. (Not to be too anal, I'll allow an approximate 10-15 minute leeway window)
2) Other rules may or may not be added, retroactively or not, as I see the need... Hopefully I won't have to but I'm doing this on the fly and *shrug* who knows what obvious gaps I'm missing? But c'mon, this one is simple and anyone breaking the rules must be trying to
Contest 3 - Time to be Creative!
Caemgen has a back story but no explanation! What I mean is that my character Caemgen has a backstory where he was born the way he is (natural origin) - He was a little furry red bouncing bundle of weirdness with a tail, litle nubby horns and even budding wings. Of course his father freaker out and thought he was a mutant... Baby Caemgen was tested and nope... Not a mutant gene about him. Next Daddy dearest assumed that Mommy had congress with demons or somesuch... But no go, all mystical experts agree that there is no magical aura about the kid at all. Daddy still stormed off in a tizzy and was never seen again though.
So... Why is Caemgen like he is? I've never quite tackled that question and was actually quite content not answering it. Still, I need a third contest so here we go:
Explain why Caemgen was born the way he was.
It doesn't need to be in story form. It doesn't need to be logical. It doesn't need to conform with any backstory I may or may not have in my head. It can be serious, comedic or philosophical... Basically anything you want.
Judging will be done solely by me... Probably. If I'm stuck on a couple maybe I'll put it up for vote to the public or grab a consultant or two who is no longer in the final running for this contest... I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. But basically I'm just looking for something cool, or interesting, or amusing or whatever. *shrug* Chances are I won't actually adopt the winner to my story of Caemgen so everything is fair game! (though I do reserve the right to adopt it...)
Rules:
1) This contest will run for as long as Conest 1 and 2 are still active. Once bith of those aew declared over, this one will be closed to new entries and I will start deciding... Which may take up to 24 hours.
2) One entry per person per 24 hours. (Once again, that's 24 hours since your last entry.)
3) Entries can be any length though I would suggest against writing a book... I'm not looking for the best written, just an idea or concept or something that happens to suit my fancy at the time. So anything from 1 word (Because!) to a paragraph or two. *shrug*
4) Other rules may or may not be added, retroactively or not, as I see the need... Hopefully I won't have to but I'm doing this on the fly and *shrug* who knows what obvious gaps I'm missing?
Contest 4 - Why you?
Premise is simple: Tell me why you should get a free Wassome Art by Wassy!
Be funny. Grovel. Praise me. Sell your sob story. Use astrology or numerology. Bribe me. Use your feminine wiles. (Sorry, male wiles need to choose a different route - trust me!) Whatever...
Basically just somehow let me know you're interested in the free art and I'll somehow choose. Frankly I couldn't think of a fourth unique contest so I'm punting and seeing what ya'all come up with!
Rules: Same as Contest #3
2) One entry per person per 24 hours. (Once again, that's 24 hours since your last entry.)
3) Entries can be any length though I would suggest against writing a book... I'm not looking for the best written, just an idea or concept or something that happens to suit my fancy at the time. So anything from 1 word (Because!) to a paragraph or two. *shrug*
4) Other rules may or may not be added, retroactively or not, as I see the need... Hopefully I won't have to but I'm doing this on the fly and *shrug* who knows what obvious gaps I'm missing?
All entries will be posted in this thread.
You are solely responsible for making sure you follow the time limits of each contest. (48 hours between entries for contest #1 - The Alphabet Challenge. 12 hours between entries for contest #2 - The Numerical Cliche! 24 hours between entries for #3 and #4 - Be Creative! and Why You?)
One post can contain multiple entries (assuming your time limits are ok with that) but each entry should be labelled with the contest number. It should be obvious but *shrug*
Do NOT edit posts that contain entries to #1 or #2! If you do something like pick a number or letter that's already been used by mistake (or because they posted while you were writing or whatever) then simply post again, explain and rechoose. Edited posts are ineligible to win contest #1 or #2!!
Feel free to edit posts that contain entries to #3 or #4, up until I announce that they are closed, for such things as spelling or such... But please do not change the gist of the entry - If you think of a new or "better" idea just wait until you can next enter.
And... Umm... I'm sure I probably missed a thing or two? Any questions or clarifications needed please post here so I can answer or clarify for everyone.
(ok, did I confuse everyone enough? Maybe I should do 4 different posts but I don't want to clutter the board...)
And finally, I'd like to thank Wassy for 1) having such a great price for such great arts that allows me to do this and 2) Playing along and dealing with my nonsense!
