CAS Contest #1: Fairly Tales
Once upon a time in a Forum far, far away, there lived a great many simmers, all jonesing for a CAS Contest.
"Oh," said the Queen of Hearts, the adminstress of the land. "What a task this is. I must think on this, as I owe my subjects all the joy that could possibly be had. But what, oh what, might they enjoy as the guidelines for this very first tourney?"
And, my, did the thoughts pour in. But as anyone knows, the first thoughts are not usually the most useful.
"Oh, I know! They shall create the spirit animals of their childhood selves!"
"Ah, that is wonderful, my Queen. But who would stop them from lying about their childhoods just to make their Sims more interesting?" Chimed the unnamed lackey I may or may not have just made up.
"Very astute, my dear unnamed lackey. Perhaps we should have them choose lands from around the globe and personify them in sims-form?"
"Wonderful again, Mistress, but are you not worried about people getting absurdly racist?"
"Oh, dear lackey. You do know I am always worried about tastelessly done racism. But what then!"
"Perhaps they can create a character to star in their own Fairy Tales, my Queen?"
"No, Lackey. That is as stupid as a horse riding itself backwards! Hmm. I have it! What if we have them create the main character of their very own Fairy Tales!"
"Your mind is a sharp, sharp blade, by which all other blades appear as merely sticks."
"Why, Thank you, Lackey. I hereby decree, as Adminstress of the Land, that the Contest Guidelines are as such:"
Objective: Create a Sim to star in your very own fairy tale. This can be an original tale or a real fairy tale changed in one or more specific ways. You do not need to write a novel to explain your story (though, I suppose you can if you want to). Just a few sentences or a short paragraph will do.
Ex: This is the story of Little Red Riding Hood, where the wolf is traveling to see his grandmother when a scarlet -cloaked seductress attempts to steer him astray.
Each applicant must submit a full body picture, and a close-up picture of their created sim.
Each applicant must include whether they used any CC or not. This is so the judging can be as fair as possible. If you do not like to use CC in your game, this will be taken into account when comparing it to the other submitted sims.
Please post your submissions on this page on or before October 31st, 2013.
Good Luck!
