Happy Fuzzy Friday!!!
The fuzzies are delighted to host this quest!!!! (instead of Ayonah) :).
For quest 12, we’re asking for your fuzzy stories! Write a short picture book about fuzzies, no longer than 10 pages/1,000 words for a chance to win.
You can use any style of artwork you like, but you must have all rights to the art work/story in order to submit. You can use photos, hand-drawn illustrations, digital art, paintings, etc. Photos must be taken by you and all other art work must be created by you.
Your story should include a cover (front and back – it does not count against your total pages) and a title/author page at the beginning (this also does not count against your page count). You may select the size, but it should be no larger than 8″ x 11″ and in a square or rectangular format.
The story MUST be about fuzzies and contain artwork/photography of fuzzies. The stories, however, do not have to be realistic. You may have your fuzzies talking, flying, swimming, doing magic – whatever! You don’t have to stick to the information posted at Lovefuzzy.com or on the forum – please feel free to be creative!
We will be accepting entries electronically from 9/20/2013 at 11:59 pm PT to 11/1/2013 11:59 pm PT. If you would like to create a physical entry, you are more than welcome to do so. Physical entries must be post marked by 11/1/2013 and received no later than 11/8/2013 (if you are International and want to mail an entry in versus digital submission PLEASE make sure to account for a longer mailing time!)
To submit your entry via email, send a message to Ayonah @ Windstoneeditions.com with the subject line:

( for example – DIGITAL ENTRY – FUZZY PICTURE BOOK – Ayonah – 1/5 ). Each individual page file should not exceed 5 MB.

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.Aw, I’d love to enter, since I love writing and would love winning an emperor (lol), but I can’t draw and I only have 1 fuzzy so far, so taking pics wouldn’t work! Bummer! At least I ought to enjoy seeing what other people come up with! :bigsmile:
*Maybe* I’ll decide to give drawing a try, but I know that won’t end very well… I wish I could partner with someone so I could write the story and they could illustrate! :p
Formerly had the Batman & Joker avatar!

I’m sure you are allowed to make your own fuzzies for the project. Go for it! 🙂
A question – do people need to be careful about any props in their photos? For example, if an illustration shows the fuzzies stealing chocolate, could it be a photo of a Hershey bar with the name visible, or just an item labeled “Chocolate” (or a made up brand name)? Also, what are the rules about using Windstones as props?

You can make fuzzies or find natural fuzzies (things like dandelion seed puffs, thistles, some trees – these have all been known to hide fuzzies!)

Since this will be published, you need to be very careful about copyrighted things (so a generic “chocolate” bar is fine, but we might have to edit your entry if it said “Hershey” on it).
You can use Windstones as props provided that:
You must limit it to PYOs or to unaltered production/limited production/limited editions or test-paints and Artist Edition’s. Repainted pieces or visibly altered pieces in photos will cause your entry to be disqualified. A repaired or damaged piece is fine, provided the repair or damage is not significantly noticeable.
Will forum members be able to see all the entries or just the winning entry through the webstore?
I’ll be posting all of them, but not for voting – just so you can see 🙂
Unless the author wants their name displayed, we’ll either blur the names or remove the title page.

You don’t have to write anything! You could just do a picture book. Words are allowed, but not required!
Sounds interesting!
