Going thru the site, I realized that we have not done a custom contest in awhile.......so I thought I would throw the idea out there (& see if anyone catches it)
......my proposal is for the NEW YEARS, we have until DEC 31st (2014) to submit our works. This would start off the New Years pretty sweet !!
This could be an every 3 month thing.......
OCT - DEC
FEB - APR
JUN - AUG
Submit your work and then we tally up the votes the following month.......then we start again
Any takers ?

Since this month is almost over, I would say NO theme this quarter........BUT we need rules to follow and keep us all on the same page
Please post any rule you would like voted on......
My proposals:
- if you create more than ONE custom for the contest, they have to relate to one another. For example, if there is NO theme that quarter.......you can't submit a Deadpool and Ultimate Spider Woman (Gwen Stacy) OR Supergirl and Longshot
YES
NO
.........any other suggestions up for a vote

I'm in.
But I say if you submit more than one character you have to make up a back story of how they're related. Like when Gwen met Deadpool at her favorite deli in queens where she always goes to buy bagels and Deadpool just happens to have been hired for a mark, but is eating a hot dog and accidentally gets mustard on her new costume when he mistakes her for Spiderman proper. Or you know, whatever.
At least we'd get some entertainment out of it!

i'm down. i like the idea of every quarter.
I think, instead of making them 2 entries that are related, i think we should instead submit the multi figures as part of one entry. Like with Deadpool and Gwen, you could title it "Secret Lovers... Oh you didn't No?!" but they have to be judge as a pair, not as individual submissions. What's nice is that most of us have multiple customs seens on our desks. So she we should be able to spot the relatable figures long before finishing the first one. That may have been what you were referring to in the first place, and i just miss understood.
Were we able to figure out if we could do ratings on each one, instead of just voting for our favorite? If so, i like that idea a lot better. If not, it's cool, but lets not make it anonymous submissions. We pretty much know each other's picture backgrounds, painting styles, etc.

I have a suggestion........
Let's say that the person that wins that qrt contest host the next qrt......meaning, since I'm pretty sure I won't have time for this (OCT-DEC) qrt, I will be the host. Everyone will submit their customs to me (the last week in DECEMBER) and I'll post them JAN 1st. Who ever wins, host the next qrt (FEB-APR)......this gives the winner a break and time to bask in their winnings.
The winner also sets the theme and the limits for the next contest.
VOTING Months (Jan / May / Sep)
The voting polls will alway be open for the first two weeks and the winner is announced in the third week. The winner will post the next theme and rules the last wk of the VOTING Month

Sounds like a good idea to... I'm up for the contest (I should hopefully be able to finish two of my customs that fit together) I like the idea of the winners setting up and managing the next contest too. Also the stories to make them fit is interesting but to me that would make a better theme for another contest. To me this first contest should just be a basic contest with 1-X entries that fit together regularly without the need of fanfic...

I'm down! Sometimes it's fun to have guidelines for who to customize. It gets the creative juices flowing!

I hate my self for arguing semantics but... Quarterly is every 3 months. Every 4 months ,splitting the year into 3 semi equal blocks, would be thrice-Annually or Quad-Monthly. OR i could be wrong. Semi Annual is twice a year. And Bi-Annually is every 2 years. Tri-Annually is every 3 years, but Tri-Monthly would be equal to quarterly... My head hurts. Trimester? I suck. SOrry guys.
