Please note that this has not changed: you still qualify for this giveaway contest if
a) your account was made within three weeks before 4/16/2013
b) or if your account was made on or after 4/16/2013
Unfortunately,
I cannot keep my other Thread,
The Newbity Charity,
open at this time.
However, there are still three very nice items long-ago donated to the charity,
when dinsoaurs still roamed the plains and I still hadn't forgotten about Menewsha,
items that are, if I checked correctly, each currently worth
at least 4,000g in the Marketplace.
So I made this Giveaway/Contest/Temporary Charity Thread thing,
which as of 4/16/2013 is OPEN for submissions.
Now, because my charity (The Newbity Charity) was so small,
and most of the people there aren't newbies anymore either,
I decided to raise the number of possible winners of these items by
making a temporary "extension" of the charity this way.
But you're tired of seeing me talk about me. ;P
You want to know how you can try to win the items. :)
P.S. Anyone can feel free to chat here,
even if they're not eligible for and/or don't want the prizes. ^^
1) You can post here why you think you should get one of those items.
P.S.: saying "because I'm new" won't work.
2) You can request a clue as to what one of the items is,
which I will PM you (and you must keep it secret),
then post here a short story THAT YOU WROTE that has to do with the clue.
The content and genre is your choice,
but the story has to be kept between 500 and 1,000 words.
P.S.: Correct grammar and punctuation will help you go far.
3) You can request a clue as to what one of the items is,
which I will PM you (and you must keep it secret),
then post in this Thread a poem THAT YOU WROTE that has to do with the clue.
The content and genre is your choice,
but the poem cannot be more than 1,500 words,
and it cannot exceed 50 lines.
P.S.: Correct grammar and punctuation will help you go far.

1) Why do I have to give you a reason/story/poem to enter?
Because I want to make sure that you're in it to own it, not in it to sell it.
2) Why is this only open to newbies?
Because the items were donated to my charity so they would go to newbies.
I intend to uphold that intention.
3) Why can't we know what the items are? Even just one?
I'm just wary of telling people. If they ask, they can have a hint as
to the theme of the item, to see if they want that kind of a thing or not.
4) Where were you?? This was supposed to end in April!
Umm, yeah, I really want to refuse to answer that question on the grounds that all of you won't like me anymore. Alright. Well, the truth of it is a couple of things happened -- I went through a serious emotional decline and started isolating myself even online; I even made a bad choice with alchohol once during this time; and after that, I kind of forgot. I'm really sorry. So I've extended the deadline until the eighth day of September -- and I promise this time I'll make the deadline. If I don't make it to the deadline (September 8th) this time or if I mysteriously disappear again, I'll give all entrants a bonus 500+ gold (or item of equal or higher value) apiece.

Thank you for pming me here~ Since I feel settled here I am declining going into the contest. I have lots of friends, items, and I just feel people that really need help getting started should join in on this. I don't mind chatting here though~ Thank you so much for the offer~!
Thank you for the pm :) I am not sure if I will join the event.
As such, I would like to request a pm, to see if it is something I might be interested in.
P.S. If I've been gone from my Thread(s) too long,
I do appreciate the ping back. :)
>.> Not that you should have to remind me.
I'm sorry.
P.S. twotickets: It already started.
hummy: You are amazing. You know that?
*Gives you a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig hug*
@Everyone: *sighs*
I sincerely apologize for my lengthy absence.
Also, this week I've been figuring out a schedule for myself
so I can do everything I feel I need to and everything I want to do
and not make anyone wait for anything anymore. :)
Have you ever heard of the phrase
"Jack of all trades, master of none"?
That's about how well I do at multi-tasking.
Or even keeping track of anything.
What, it didn't make any sense to you?
Good.
The point is
I NEED A FREAKING SCHEDULE. >_<"
P.S. I'm making the schedule for what websites I visit and when I visit them THIS WEEK!!

I'll chat here still even though I don't need anything~ Glad to see you back. I'm in the same situation now that I moved in with my parent's they have over loaded me with things to do. I rarely get the chance to come online. Though today I said I'm taking a day off to cool my jets. I've been so busy I needed one day to relax even if my folks don't like it! Though me relaxing is just doing half the work I usually do. I only did 3 loads of laundry, clean the living room, and cleaned the kitchen that's all~
As I say life kicks us in the butt some times and then we have to kick life back when that happens!
Bad Mene! You didn't show me that I had unread posts here!
Shall I never trust thee again, Mene?
Oh, doesn't thee know how much it would hurt myself to never trust thy notifications again, Menewsha?
And now, back to the undramatic real life story. Um, I meant to end that at real life.
No really, I did. I really did. I real life did. XD
Zombie Pixie: EVERYWHERE! D:
Actually I don't recall anymore. >_>
And they weren't when this started/the stuff was donated. :P
MinakoAxule: "back" seems to be a relative term in this case.
I should just leave this Thread open and myself logged in every day.
O... M... G.... O_______O
Could you jar up and mail some of that work ethic to me, please? I could really use it.
If life kicks me in the butt I'll just defenstrate it. >__>
XD
Iriel: Yay! I shall wait patiently for the entry. :D
You need to subscribe to your own threads or just view your thread each and every day you come on because mene doesn't show you if you have replies in your own threads.
*Sprinkles work motivation dust on you!*
I know it's hard to come on everyday. I can't even do it. There are some days I'm just too busy to get online. I hope you do find a way to continue this.
*eeks and runs away from the dust*
*motivation dust gets on me anyway*
I'm not too busy, I just forget. =o
But now I will be checking this Thread every week, so, yeah. :P
