EDIT: the contest is up and running! Read more about it HERE.

The spark of our revolution was ignited three years ago, and it's incredible to think how far we've gone and how much we accomplished since then. For the older admins (and hopefully, one day, for the newer ones too!), this group was and still is where we made some of our closest friends and I for one consider myself damn lucky for it. (:

We always tried to do our best to "mean" something within the Lit community, to be a group deviants could trust and rely on, but not only that, we always tried to be a fun group, one not just made of faces, but of actual people. And I think that with the amount of crazy admins we have, we're doing a fine job at that!
Let me take this occasion to introduce our two latest additions to the admin team, Sammur-amat and AzizrianDaoXrak. We're proud to have them and I hope they'll enjoy their time with us! :dummy:

But on to the contest! It's a tradition for us to have a contest on our anniversary, and this year we've been particularly quiet on the contest front, so it's time to dive back in that fiery sea that is the deviantART community at full strength. :D

This year we're challenging you with something you won't find anywhere else. And you will be the one to choose just how difficult you want your task to be... then fate and luck will decide your path, and we can't wait to read what you'll be able to make of it.
All of us at tWR are proud to introduce you the first ever Pick'N'Mix Contest! "A hulking, multi-faceted, multi-challenging beast coming straight from the depths of random attribute testing." (words of WyvernLetDie, who created this stunning idea, so :clap: to him for all his work :heart:)


So how does it work?

This is the idea: we have divided a number of instructions into SIX sections. For each section, there is a dice assigned to them that WE will roll for you. The numbers that come out will correspond to what your submissions MUST include: that means you can include anything else you want, but if one of your instructions is "the protagonist is a sociopath French chemist called Joseph" then whatever you write, the protagonist must follow that guideline.

The sections will be listed from the least challenging to the hardest, and you will choose (with a minimum of THREE, honouring our third anniversary) how many dice you want us to roll for you.

But what about the prizes? And we want to see the sections too!

Patience, boys and girls, patience. The contest will be released officially one week from now, on the 14th, and you will know everything then. :la:

We'll have, of course, a third-second-first prizes category: keep in mind, though, that the number of dice you choose won't be the only factor affecting your chances of getting a higher placement. It will affect our judging, especially when undecided on two works; but if a deviant using four dice has written a much better deviation than one who used all six of them, we'll reward the quality of the writing above the number of dice rolled.

We'll be back on the 14th with the official release but until then, stay awesome (and tuned)!
