I said the winner would be announced at the end of July but, because the entries kept coming, I kept it open another month. All in all, we had over 800 people entering — some more than once — and picking a winner was NOT easy.
But a winner I did pick. And here, to help me announce, is Ronda, her mom, her sister Maria, and lead artist Justin...
"And the winner is... Brinley Marrs!"
Congratulations Brinley! Your mom put your name forward and told me why she figured you should win, and I agreed! Hailey, your email has now been sent to AnnMaria and they will take it from there.
To everyone else who entered, commiserations — but if it's any consolation, please know that some of your entries made me grin...

-gives all three of them a cookie each-
All you need is something better to talk about.
Favourite hot meal?
(*hugs jai*
my favourite meal... chips and curry sauce)
(*eats loads of cookies*
*hasn't been to kung fu or circuit training in ages*
*now feels guilty*)
meh *shrugs* I should probably just disappear ^_^
I have a friend who gets really grumpy if she doesn't do sports in too long. XD
She went on a hores riding holiday. ... she added so much muscle in her back her shirts stopped fitting. XD
My favourites are lasagne and spaghetti bolognese.
Pizza is a close second. :P
( OWW *rubs head* *takes a cookie and noms*)

( Hores riding lol ...
Carbonara maybe , or pizza...
Fav drink?
Irish coffee :D D: but then coffee and whiskey breath which makes Gem not want to kiss me )

I don't like pizza...)
Hi again, Aquila! :)
... Tbh I like most food. Favourites are too hard :P
You are one of the very few people I know who don't like it, then. ^^
... I neither like whiskey nor coffee.
I actually don't even like tiramisu because of the bit of coffee, nor blackforest cake because of the little bit of liquor...
... cause I don't like alcohol at all, no matter in what.. ^^
(I am very picky when it comes to food
I don't like that many types of alcohol... I like cider ^.^)

... did I ever tell you about my theory that the English are nearly as bad with their kings and queens as the French?
... wasn't there one who got glowing metal up his bum or something?
(no you didn't...
im not sure about that O.o
there was a king who got beheaded)
Lol, I don't know much about France, but tbh it wouldn't surprise me if that was in England's history :P
I know that the last king where I'm from was gently told he had just resigned, given enough money to live well to the end of his life, and that was it.
Was pretty sad, really, everyone liked him. And he felt really betrayed, too. But, it wasn't about him. It was about the system. -shrugs-
One of his gardens is now a really nice zoological and botanical garden. One of his castles and its gardens are part of my university. ^^

(that's cool aq ^>^)
If my plan works you won't be able to make new glitter, Swirl. The universe will have an immune system of sorts to combat it.
(hey John! *waves*)
(*is now bored of the horrible history prom so listens to the slow version of we're in heaven by DJ Sammy*)
(Hey, totally not in class right now half-listening to the professor.)
@Aquila: Huh, you're right. Edward II, allegedly, in 1327. ^^
( Just a tribute )
Swirl: But... can it combat it as fast as it can rain?
Also, plenty none-glitter things glitter as well.
(pay attention in class!)
@Taia: I think the French with their civilised beheading were actually nicer. ;P
I'm just after glitter, and I dunno, hopefully.
*he leaps down from the tree he was sleeping in*
Either way, there's nothing you can do to stop me! Muahahahahah!!!
(*wonders how the bad touch was in suggested vids O.o)
(It's a photoshop class, I took two in high school. Nothing he's said is new to me >.<)
(I cant photoshop to save my life)
(It's really easy.)
(we don't have 'photoshop classes' here :()
(Technically it's 'content development'. Meaning creating content with photoshop.)
(right...
ive started to learn about offender profiling in psychology
highlight of my college life)
Swirl: -tilts head- -creates a Blake-following glitter-cloud-
*creates a personal bubble of shadows to block the cloud of glitter*
Hah!
Swirl: Now you have something to experiment on. Good luck. :3
*the bubble turns inside out, trapping the cloud of glitter inside*
*it shrinks smaller and smaller, until it's the size of a marble, and sinks into Blake's shadow*
( photoshop is easy :P I need to use it for class but I knew how b4 that )
Swirl: -grins- Congrats, you just caught glitter! ... like you'd catch a cold. :P
( I don't have patience with stuff like that
*dances the Charleston around the living room*)
Yup, and I plan to have that happening automatically on a world-wide scale before long.
Swirl: You DO realise it's still making more glitter inside your shadows, right?
-sits down- I so want to see glittering shadows...
(*sings whilst dancing*
bang bang chitty chitty bang bang
our fine four fendered friend!)
@Aquila: XD We did some beheading ^^
I never took a class in photoshop, but I guess I can navigate it alright?
(...... Here....... *dances with Chloe*)
Maybe so, but it's in the shadow world right now, where there's no light. So your glitter isn't glittery.
*grins smugly*
hi jack.
(Jack! *twirls him*)
(*bursts in in a shower of glitter, dezombified thanks to maths, apparently*)
(Hey there Jack, it's been a while.)
Swirl: -tilts head- -hols out a torch- Can you swallow that, too?
*holds
(*is twirled* hehe, thanks
Blake!!!! It's been too long, how are you?)
Sure I could. I could swallow you in shadows. How do you think I get places quickly and unnoticed?
(*kisses jack* gah! seeing you here made me smile instantly ^.^)
(Well, I'm still alive so that's something. What about you?)
(*kisses Chloe* Awwwww!!! I is happy)
(Alive us good Blake, it is good
I am very happy thanksgiving you)
(hey Jai! shall we continue the rp?)
Swirl: -switches torch on and hands it to Blake- Show me? :3
(*pokes Jai's glitter explosion*
I dunno why Blake hates glitter so much... PTSD or something.)
(Hey Jai! Yay! :)
Hi Ed! )
(*cuddles Chloe*
Which oneeeeeeee? The Wolf x Chris x Ed x Inky x T x Flauros one, the Clocky x Mark x Cole x Eira one or both?)
(Glitter is evil!)
(In that case, Edward?, you'll hate Swirl. :P )
Sure.
*He grabs her hand instead of the torch, and they instantly begin to sink into their own shadows*
(*cuddles* how about the one with T ?
*sprinkles jack with glitter*)
Swirl: ... this isn't quite going according to plan. -makes sure the torch comes along-
(Glitter isn't evil!!!
*cuddles Chloe back* sure. You start.)
(Nah aquila, glitter will ine day take over the world!!!
*hides from chloes glitter*)
(*looks sad* Jackie...
jack, where were we?)
(Um.... We were.... Um....)
It won't do you any good where we're going.
*they become entirely submerged and disappear from the regular world*
*a moment later, they 'surface' in the exact same spot they came from, except there's no light whatsoever. They perceive the world in a strange sort of reverse sight cause by shadows on darker shadows*
Welcome to my third favorite place ever, the shadow world.
(*facepalm* Chris was trying to get wolf to leave. Flauros told T to give Inky Ed back. Inky was angry/upset)
(this was what I put last_)
FLauros: *Puts hand on her shoulder* give him back to her
Swirl: -looks at torch- Did you turn it off?
(Thanks jai
And hello fera)
T: *sings* nooooo
MrBBWolf: Give him back to her.
Nope, it's just that no light exists or is capable of existing here. If you made a flame it would burn black and emit no light. To a necromancer, this place is like heaven.
Flauors: what would you have us to do?
Chris: leave wolf... ill handle here
*cries* please... just give me Ed...
Swirl: -pouts- I wanted to make the glitter glitter. -looks around- Apart from the weird none-light, what's different?
T: no wolfie! He's mine again now.... What would you have ME do flauros?
MrBBWolf: *pulls Chris close, kissing him gently*
I-I'm not leaving you t-to get trapped again..
Not much, really. You get some weird, otherworldly, and not too rarely dangerous traffic through here sometimes, and you do not want to meet the natives, but other than that it's just a lightless reverse of our world.
Flauros: I would have you to give him back to the wolf, I would personally do anything you ask then *sooo doesn't have ulterior motive*
MrBBWolf: h-hes isn't anyone's.. he's a p-person not a pos-session..
T: but I just got him back, see he's mine again now, why would I lose him again? Even for...
CHris: *kisses gently and smiles* I will be careful
flauros: for what?
Swirl: If you like this place so much, why don't you live here more? And, if this is third, what are second and first favourite places? And, what's wrong with the natives? And I doubt by traffic you mean cars...
MrBBWolf: *kisses him gently back*
N-no.. I won't leave y-you..
T: for you!
My first favorite place is my home, second is private. I don't live here because of the natives, who I'm not going to talk about, and by traffic I mean other beings from who knows where with the ability to travel to this place as well.
(so that is the realm blake can go to? a copy of the real world but governed by shadows?)
Swirl: So what do you do here?
Chris: go on, wolf
lil will be wondering where her daddy is
flauros: I will do anything you command if you give the wolf her mate back
(Oh look, we summoned a curious Svenny. XD Hi there! -pokes him-)
MrBBWolf: She'll be okay-y.. I-I'm not leaving you in d-danger..
(hey Krieg ^.^)
T: *is thinking*.... No! I won't lose him! See, he's staying!!! *waves the bottle round*
chris: wolf, please...
flauros: he is under a spell!
please... don't you want him to be happy?
( wait, no i mixed you and cond up... you never mentioned it...)
( all you necromancers just look the same....)
(Distant)
MrBBWolf: *holds Chris' hand tightly*
Dont worry.. I-I'm Wolf-f..
(Aww.)
T: *screams* he is happy!!! There no spell, he could leave but I won't allow it!
Chris: *squeezes his hand* please wolfie...
flauros: this is madness!
he isn't happy *growls and changes into a wolf*
(Hello.)
Claire: Fine, fine.
Liliana: Mmm... What are your favourite flowers?
Isabelle: *she raises her hand towards the building, and the metal begins to rust - whilst the glass starts to shatter* *the building seems to bend as the rust weakens it, before it falls - into the building beside it before landing in the busy street*
Lily: Are all ovens the same?
Hi Sophia. ^^
(hey Soph ^.^)
T: *holds the bottle close as she changes* this isn't madness, madness is him not staying with me!
(Hello soph)
(Con : *slaps krieg* we are not the same.)
*pounces at her*
MrBBWolf: L-Let him go!!!
(SOPHI!!!
*tacklecuddles!!!*)
Good girl.
Onwa: Lilies.
James: *watches it, grinning broadly*
Manuel: No. Some have fans and others have alternate power sources.
(*listens to physical*
*frowns and wonders how I got to the song*)
chris: *stands protectively infront of wolf in case*
MrBBWolf: *holds Chris around the waist*
(pff broody, think they are omnipotent, create scythes without knowing how to use one, apparently all of em have some kind of shadow realm :p, basically the same charachters but with others clothes and names, oh and backstory....somewhat)
chris: *smiles and whispers to wolf* I love you
(Chloe XD)
T: no! *dodges and almost drops the bottle*
( Con: I know how to use a scythe. I could kill you with a leaf.)
( don't get me wrong necromancy is pretty neat, but it has been overdone soooooo many times i'd say just let it die out, but sadly and ironicly it's necrotic as heeelllll xD)
MrBBWolf: *whispers back*
I-I love you too..
Nothing much, distance is weird here so it makes for great time-saving traveling. It also makes a great trump card in fights if I manage to get someone trapped here.
MrBBWolf: I-Inky be careful!!
(I come across the most random things...)
*growls and pounces at her again*
flauros: just give him back and shell stop
chris: she will be just fine, darling
Swirl: People will get really bored, here.
(You do XD)
T: I'll never let him go again! *is hit by inky and drops the bottle* *it smashes over the floor* no....
MrBBWolf: *nods, biting his lip, watching carefully*
Not if that person is me, since everything is shadows I can pretty much manipulate anything I like here.
*he floats into the air and does a few flips before landing next to her lightly*
Swirl: So you don't get bored all on your own?
(*shrugs* I am a random person*
*changes into a human* Ed!
(But that's good Chloe!!!!)
T: *falls to the floor and sobs*
Yeah, about that... We're not alone. Actually, we should probably leave soon.
*looks around*
MrBBWolf: *stares, gripping Chris' hand tightly*
Swirl: ... whenever you want to? It's not like I can, on my own.. ^^
(awwww!)
flauros: *kneels by T* look what you've done
is ed okay...?
CHris: *squeezes his hand*
T: what I've done? Me?! It was her!!!! She did those! And now he's... *cries* he's gone... To the nether...
no! he cant be!
Alright, le-
*a low murmuring starts up around them, the language is nothing from their world, nothing that sounds even remotely natural. Two pinpricks, like eyes appear at the edge of the small clearing. Then another set, and another, until they're entirely surrounded*
Yeah, we're going now.
*They sink rapidly back into the normal world just as jagged holes open beneath the eyes and an ear splitting shriek tears through their skulls*
MrBBWolf: S-so go to the Nether..
Swirl: ... I don't like the natives. ... also, my ears are ringing, now.
T: he is, because of you!!!
No wolfie, you can't just.... Go there
(*she cuddles Jaimie back, tightly*)
Claire: Yeah, sure.
Bethany: You don't seem happy...
Claire: I'm fine.
Liliana: I see. Do lilies come in a black variety or shall we just make some that are?
Isabelle: What are you grinning at?
Lily: Aren't fans for cooling people down?
I must have him back...
Yeah, the natives don't really like me very much either. So... Sorry. If it had just been you they wouldn't have cared very much.
*he stands and hold out a hand to help her up*
T: you can't just choose to have him, anyway.... He's mine!!!!
(I'm off, bye all's)
Swirl: -takes it- ... I still wouldn't like them, they are scary. How come they don't like you?
(Bye Jack.)
MrBBWolf: W-why not?
What's wrong Claire.
Onwa: I am not entirely sure.
James: Destruction.
Manuel: I believe they help circulate the heat in the oven so no part is specifically warmer
Remember that nice gentleman in my head you met yesterday? They're worshipers of his. The fact he's trapped in me is blasphemy to them. It takes a little while, but whenever I go there he starts trying to alert them. Hence, I spend as little time as possible there.
(byii honey!)
not if you don't bring him back...
Swirl: And you can't kick him out?
(@blake if that nice gentleman in your head wants you dead why doesn't he just do so?)
OMG HI SOPHIA
(not really here)
Claire: Nothing!
Liliana: You could simply make some?
Isabelle: It is fun, isn't it?
Lily: That makes sense... I think.
(Hello, Star.)
Mmm...
Onwa: that would be easier
James: It really is.
Manuel: I am glad
You don't want me to kick him out, the only thing keeping him in check is the fact he's trapped in me.
(He doesn't want Blake dead, Krieg, he wants to suppress blakes conciliate as so he can have full control. If Blake died he wouldn't have a form in this world and would be sent back to where he came from.)

(me thinks me better be off to bed now
nos da ^.^)
Swirl: -frowns- How did he get there, and what if you die?
(why doesn't he go there once you let him take over in this world? wouldn't that be a logical move? if he wants the locals to catch you why doesn't he just bring you to them that way?)
I would rather not talk about how he got there, as for if I die, he'll have no physical body to keep him tethered to this world and he'll go back to his personal dimension to do whatever it is primordials do with their infinite amount of time.
(Blake only lets him out in situations where he's got a reason too, which means Erebus has a reason to stay in this world. For instance, that fight. Also, that cult isn't his go-to option. He'll just use them if they're handy. Erebus is a primordial, and no small amount of pride comes with that title.)
Swirl: ... shame you can't just send him back by dying a little and then being revived, hm?
Actually, I tried that. He was close to breaking me, so I killed myself. Tried to, at least. Made the problem a thousand times worse.
Swirl: ... not good. -offers him a cookie-
Mhm.
*Takes a bite out of the cookie*
Hell of a story though, something to tell the grand kids someday.
Swirl: ... after you find a girl. Then marry her. Then have children. Then the children have children. -nods-
Check, check, and check. Gonna be a while for that last one, though.
*Takes another bite out of his cookie*
me: if the seed is not corrupted *coughs*
Swirl: -blinks- Yuuuup, you are older than me alright. 0o
*Sighs*
For the third time, four hundred and seventy six.
me:*raises hand* isn't blake a modern name for a four hundred and seventy six year old?
Swirl: I'm 20. -nods-
Why yes, yes it is. My original name was getting pretty out of date and raised quite a bit of suspicion wherever I went, so I changed it.
Swirl: You are old.
Yup. Though I would never recommend it there are certain perks to have a primordial stuck in you. Physically I don't look or feel a year over thirty.
*Grins as he finishes off the cookie*
Swirl: 30 is old, too. -tilts head- Do you get back aches?
(Makes sense? i think? Just a bit silly that you changed your whole name instead of using a fake name like Tim in mortal society)
*Raises an eyebrow*
Thirty is not old, three hundred is old. Mages have a far longer life expectancy than regular people, you're gonna have to get used to that. Granted even most mages would be in their graves by my age, but again with the primordial thing.
Swirl: ... mages. People that love cookies, most of the time. -nods- No but really, I thought thirty year old bodies start acting up, so if that's your looking age... ^^
Anyway, I get why home is your favourite place, your family is probably there. ^^
Bastion:Older lady!
me: words bast woooords
Bast: *sighs* I know a lady that's as old as earth itself.
Grant: *keeps to himself, not sure of the people in this area*
*Half frowns*
I know a guy related to the lady who's the embodiment of the earth. Her older brother, in fact. Wait, is he older..?
*Stop for a moment and seems to be talking to himself*
Yeah he says he's older.
Oh hey Grant, how're you?
I'm well.
Not mine :/
Hi.
Ah. Dedication.
I dedicate this page to the new season of Agents of SHIELD, Demon Road, the ocean, and cats.
Swirl: Hi, I'm Swirl. :)
(*Likes cats*
*Maybe a little too much*
...
*Nah, no such thing*)
