I was involving no one in particular it was just a suggestion that the "resource" for the animation could possibly come from that area, I have joined on that site a few times and noticed that there are several short stories there that have very lil illustration, Like I said originally I am idea searching in hopes to get new material here, seeing as I am NO artist. If i mistyped any of these and mislead anyone I do appologize. I started this thread in hopes to gather enuff info to make a good contest, and give artists and writers a reason to join together and make new stuff. I have learned quite a bit from those of you that have posted yer opinions and suggestions (Soylent Orange, Vandrake, 56KowBoy, Litch, Blake Issac Gordon) I thank you all for what you have added, yer words have helped me to re-attempt this later when I can secure more funds to make it worth peeps while. Lorekeep I do want to hold this contest in the future, main problem is needing a third party to hold the funds to give out to the winners, second problem is I so far am the only one willing to toss in on the prizes as you see from the posts, if this isn't a problem for Process Productions please let me know and maybe here this summer I will return with the proper "inspiration" to get some authors and artists goin. Please understand I mean NO dis-respect to anyone if I have insulted anyone in trying this, like I said in other posts just wanted to get some more material without having to join a club and download the material to my PC. Rather pay to see it here than pay to DL and delete. Any other ideas or comments please PM them to me so I can get em all together and make a set of defined rules and prizes and I will re-post later. Thanks again folks.

I do beleive that I'm one of the few people who understand you were simply trying to gather information, not so much hold a contest atm.

I still wonder where everyone is getting the "n" for my name from its no where near the "a" or "d" keys, so people conciously have to go out and hit it. Seriously, the first few times were funny, but this is getting annoying!

Really Sry Vadrake, I play some rpg's prolly just sub-conciously added it. Thanks again for your advice and sry again for the name mis hap it was my first and last mispell on that

Its perfectly fine, I'm not terribally famous over here, but the people back on PAWG, Furaffinity, and several other places were notorious for it.

I'd say the big issue is always going to be the escrow factor. Most scams start with "put your money here, with an independent third party." Which, I suppose, is why you want to have Lorekeep onside.

I'm just pretty sure you'd get better results with a commission than a contest. Probably.

Pfttt... last time I checked writing FT-fiction was very much a hobby , which I hope most individuals can discern from all the reviews I get. (I an'ts no professional writter.)

Never can escape the typos.

But I like to invest some time in the story. It feels good to produce something that you know is your absolute best (doesn't mean its perfect). As long as I get one person who's happy, it's well worth the time spent.

And I'm excited someone is making an attempt to stimulate the community instead of being the typical bottom feeder of "Mor' free Porn plz." that seems so damn prevalent as of late.

This is exactly why I want this web site to hold the funds and give them out to the winner. I am sure everyoneon this site trusts you with there moneies and art. I have seen several times peeps posting paid material, and you have always done an excellent job of makin sure that the material is removed from here and removed from the original area off where it was found. Would www.process-productions.com be willing to be the holder of the prize funds, and does the store offer any type of "Trophy" that Icould purchase to put up as a prize along with some loot. Lookin to have this run in June if possible.
