Huugg was the big winner in this past week’s Celestial Steed Mount Contest. 😀
Like I said yesterday, this was no easy choice for me. Truth be told, I had 4 for consideration, with 3 of the entries as winners during various times of the judging.
Huugg’s ended up being my eventual choice for a few reasons…
For one, I just really liked the story. I thought that he did a nice job developing the plot and the characters, including Narvas of course.
I’ve read all of the Celestial Steed Contest entries and have even re-read a few of them. I’ve gotta say, I’m thoroughly impressed with the thought and work that had gone into some of these submissions. It’s also been an absolute delight (yes, I just used that word) reading these. Some of them have moved me, rallied me, made me chuckle, and even flat-out laugh.
Excellent work people! 🙂 I had no idea what to expect going into this, as it was a very impulsive and whimsical plan to host this contest. I must say… the response to this exceeded my expectations. 😀
So, here’s where I’m at… Although I do intend on announcing the winner sometime this evening, I need a little more time. This is going to be a tough decision, so I need to be sure I’m making the right one. I’m going to read through the top submissions as many times as needed, until I feel like I’ve chosen the one I perceive to be the best. In other words, the one I like the most. 😉
In addition to the winner’s submission, I’d also like to publish the other stories from those participants I view to be the next runner-ups. I think it would be unjust to limit the audience to only me. Regardless of which story I personally like best, I feel a few of these should be shared with the entire hunter community here at HuntsmansLodge.com.
None other than…lawman30! Grats man! You’ve just earned yourself a cute Lil’ XT pet. Lil’ XT After looking over the submitted ideas for the Celestial Steed Mount Contest, I determined lawman’s made the most sense. All of your ideas were interesting, but lawman’s I felt was practical and creative. I think coordinating in-game activities is great, if you have the time, but there’s no way I can swing something like that. I like the scavenger hunt, taming missions, etc… but …
