This challenge is going to be a bit different, in that it will be three months long - from the beginning of June to the end of August. We're celebrating a wonderful summer, and the time-honored tradition of Try-Hard threads; threads that are story-heavy and tell a deep and meaningful tale of the characters involved. Now, while such threads in the past have often become lost in the shuffle and not finished, I'm hoping that this challenge will really take off since the prize will be a bit different this time around.

If you finish the challenge, you get a HoloNet Loot Crate. Yep. You heard that correctly. It will be filled with Fans specific goodies :)

It's perfectly fine to participate in more than one Try-Hard thread, but be sure to not spread yourself too thin! The reason I'm posting this now is for folks to put together their thoughts on the story or stories they wish to tell. If you want to get a head start and begin your thread now, that's perfectly fine since I know these sorts of threads can take time. Any thread started in May is still eligible, so no worries. Lady Muse is capricious, and I totally understand if you want to get a jump-start while She is pulling at you. Going solo (ha) is allowed as well, so if you'd rather go that route by all means feel free.





Good luck, everyone!!

That sounds awesome!

I wish I had started one of my Tatiana threads in May, instead of April. >.<

Oh well, I'll have to think of something else!

If anyone has a desire to do a survival/inner-enlightenment sort of thread, I'd be happy to provide your baddie *extends dewclaw*

I went ahead and made a post icon for this event, so if anyone wishes to use that for their threads, it's there :)

:D Have to get something started for this, with one of my characters. Been needing to get a good story going for a while now and the one between Kaie and Teagan was already in progress. lol

Glad that any thread started in May counts, since I'll be traveling for the next 3 days!

Since we're posting our threads here (I like it, means I can keep track of them... For... reasons. :mischief)

The Exchange will be taking part in this challenge here:

Something Wicked This Way Comes
(https://www.theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?57645-Something-Wicked-This-Way-Comes)

Not that all of our proper "group" threads aren't exactly tryhard. :P

Congrats!!


For those that do finish, I'll be needing addresses to mail the loot crates to, so you can PM me, find me on Slack, on FB, or email me at studioiscelian at gmail dot com :) They will be going into the mail on September 1st.

Sweeeet ^_^

So that makes three threads that I'm aware of that have been finished; Black Vultures, Escape from Palpatraz, and Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Everyone that finishes their thread(s), be sure to post here that you've completed them, for obvious reasons :)

ATTENTION


For those that have finished threads, would it be possible to get a picture of each of you with a cat? Any pets or even stuffed animals that you may have are perfectly acceptable, though if there are cats that would be preferred. You can send them to me however you like; via FB messenger, Slack, email, etc.

Thank you!!!
