So long @.@
However, these are very important, and I think you'll still find it a quick read...
We really appreciate your understanding and adherence to the rules! :3

[glow=#C5DCE0,2,300]- Concerning Eligibility -[/glow]
Everyone may join!
However, we do ask that you do your best to enter in the section that best relates to how much you know so far of fancyposting and how much experience you have.

We want to encourage everyone to try to take away from the experience and face it as a challenge, but to be fair, we may ask that you enter into a higher section if we think perhaps you're applying beneath your experience skill level.

We really appreciate your understanding in this, as this will make sure the competition is fair and enjoyable for everyone!

[glow=#D8E2E4,2,300]-Concerning Judgement-[/glow]
Soft Rain (SR) and Danirequen (Dani) will be judging.
So that all is fair, we will both have to agree upon the top two in each category, and we will both check ourselves and each other to make sure there is no bias/unfair play involved.

We are the ONLY two judges.
While it's wonderful to share opinions and exchange comments and feedback, keep it constructive, friendly, and positive. The results will be decided by us, and not based upon others' opinions. This is in order to ensure fairness.

[glow=#A59793,2,300]-Concerning Issues & Attitude-[/glow]
Attitude is the absolute MOST IMPORTANT thing here!
Please take this lightly; it will be judged seriously and we hope that everyone tries to the best of their ability, but it's still just a game.

Any dishonesty regarding entries, edits, etc. will be penalized. This includes, but is not confined to:
-Plagiarism (Copy pasting or otherwise)
-Entering under multiple names or for other people
-Bribery/Blackmail/Other such drama

Rule breaks of any kind will result in removal of entries, disqualification, and (if absolutely necessary) reporting.

Not sure if you're plagiarizing? We WILL NOT penalize you for asking whether something counts as plagiarism!

Please, please, please stay away from this... we want this to be fun and open and fair! Thanks so much for understanding these rules, guys! CC:

[glow=#D8E8ED,2,300]-Other Rules-[/glow]
You may enter up to 3 fancyposts, but you may not enter two into the same category.
Edits are allowed at any time, but you must show SR or I all of the changes you made.
Questions: ask Dani or SR :).

ALL ENTRIES MUST BE PMED to Dani, along with the code. All entries go in a locked thread, which will be visible to everyone, though it will be impossible for anyone to view your code (quoting will be impossible, too).

Technique: How well do you know how to use different fancyposting skills and use them to create the best possible outcome? Are there any errors in your code?

Creativity: Go crazy! These don't have to be the best made or the prettiest looking; they just have to be unique, original, and your personal style!

Visual: Does your fancypost look like it all fits together? Overall, looking at it, would people say, "I want this!"?
