Yea the Asura do make a lot of things that feel more sci fi than fantasy like warpgates "stargates", teleporter, and robotic golems. If you squint your eyes they even look like little gray aliens.

Wow, very very nice Sentient.

Wintersday and Halloween should be a given in GW2 as a lot of it takes place in Kryta. At least that area should have the festivals.

rofl, thanks Verene. What's up now is exactly half of the entire story so at least I'll have a good sized part 1 and part 2 XD I would have posted more chapters but then my hubby was nagging about me going to sleep D: At least it's better to post two parts that are the same length rather than having most of the story as part 1 and then like a chapter or two as part 2 XD

Plus, I revealed the answer to one of the mysteries in part 1 so it seemed like a good stopping point! I'll probably change my drawing thread to a 'drawing and stories' thread when the second half is done so don't worry, you'll get to read the ending eventually!

Oh, and Happy belated B-day, Frostkisses!

Thanks Thistle

must say I cant wait to read the rest of your story either!

Perynne · Jan 03, 2011, 07:31 AM // 07:31

Sentient, I updated the links in the first post.

I love the dragon, your entry is very creative and well drawn!

AryaBladedancer · Jan 03, 2011, 07:36 AM // 07:36

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I've been absent, my holidays were -crazy-. I didn't get to finish my piece, but I did want to show the last of what I had worked on, which was some minor recoloring and touch ups here and there. :C Hopefully I'll be able to finish next year. Gonna go look through all the pieces now!

A belated merry Christmas, happy holidays, and new year to everyone!

@Sentient: I was confused at first, but once i saw the reuploaded, larger version, my jaw dropped

It's really amazing , <3 the asurans

@Thistle: You're a really talented writer

I started to read teh wintersday entry, but instead i went back to read haloween one first...
Btw if you're the only literature entry will you get all the rewards? O.O
I was gonna write something, but didn't find time ;o
Anyhow, it's really nice

@Happy belated bday Frost

I love your pic XD Grentchies look epic
@Morag: I can't believe you didn't finish your entry )= Ohwell , I really really loved it too!
Im gonna go cry in a corner...muhahaha you won't sleep tonight knowing you've dissapointed me XD
Heh , just kidding...maybe we'll see a finished piece next year? (hopefully with lyssa on the sidelines eating popcorn

)
You could even adapt it canthan workshop if they make one...I personally want to have hungry canthans closing in on the celestial animals...you know, celestial pig on a plate with an apple in it's mouth

Who said stars couldn't be eaten with a pinch of pepper?
@Satomz: Blagh! I keep being too lazy >.> My comps sound is screwed up,s o i have to open someone elses if i want to open your vid...but i will do so at some point! *grin goatishly...err, sheepishly*
Well happy late new year to y'all...personally, i don't see the difference >.< Most of my friends stay up counting the seconds, but tbh December 31 doesn't feel any different that Jan 1st

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 03, 2011, 02:26 PM // 14:26

@Arya, looks really good even if it's not finished in my oppinion. It's still worthy to submit just for fun (or even give it a shot at the results!).

satomz · Jan 03, 2011, 09:05 PM // 21:05

@Flying Ninja Monk: no worries, the video won't be taken down anytime soon, so take your time.

Most important thing first, as organizer of the Party i was checking out locations, i found what looks like a very cool place for the after party which harbours the Wintersday Spirit all year round, or so it seems

... Still wanted to check with people here if they agree with this location (aka. can get there) ... the location is: Ice Tooth Cave Prophecies, Shiver Peaks ... picked it due to atmosphere, it being in prophecies (which i would guess everybody has), would like to know if anyone opposes to said location for any reason ?

The date is still to be set, seeing judging will also depend on the official results, when all is planned out Minami will get the honours of letting everybody know when to be where ^^

Hmm, looks like a lot of very nice art again, judges are going to have a hard time picking out the winners... tobad i was way to busy with IRL stuff to ever get started, guess the idea i had/have will have to wait till next year :/

But on the brighter sight, i have my prize sorted out and Minami will hopefully double check the value (guestimate) and put it up in the OP

Good Work all

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 03, 2011, 11:03 PM // 23:03

@Arghore Sounds good to me, winter party in a cold cave!

I can always do a few runs if people want to come with a character to there that haven't been there before.

Verene · Jan 03, 2011, 11:10 PM // 23:10

Oooh, that's a nice place for a party. It's always a quiet outpost, too, and it's nice and small.

I can also do runs to get there if people need it - if I can remember what my running build on my Dervish is XD Haven't done that in forever.

Thistle Xandra · Jan 04, 2011, 02:19 AM // 02:19

Thanks Frost, and thanks so much Flying Ninja Monk! I really appreciate that

Looks like the other places get redistributed as Frost mentioned, although now that I look at the note "* If there are no completed entries into the Literature category, the prizes will be distributed among the other categories," I'm wondering if my entry will count since it's only half the story :/ Guess I should have just stopped at the snowball fight and said "The End" >_>

On a side note, I'm guessing there won't be any more lit categories in future workshops since there doesn't seem to be much interest?

And, can't wait for the party

Ice Tooth Cave will be perfect!!

I think my completed they mean your final submission. And in all honesty, as good as your story is, its probably MUCH easier to judge as a section. Wouldn't worry bout that too much

Im a bit worried about the lit category myself... However now that you've been drawing I would think you should enter either way!

+1 to that! <3 icetooth. very under appreciated outpost

Perynne · Jan 04, 2011, 07:16 AM // 07:16

Icetooth sounds like a wonderfully quiet and wintery place for a party. Count me in! I can also run people there beforehand, if someone doesn't have it for their 'toon. :3

@Arya: Wow, you should've just submitted that as your final piece for the Workshop! That looks really beautiful, and I think it looks completed enough to be worth submitting. Still, deadline has passed, and I'm not sure how strict people are here about it...

@Thistle: Literature seems to be a changing category... sometimes you get tons of literature entries, other times there's none. Kind of like sometimes you get lots of music entries (like now) and sometimes none. Perhaps there should be some category that encompasses everything that's not drawing and crafts? Might be easier to judge non-drawing pieces as a whole then, even if it's not a perfect system.

Flying Ninja Monk · Jan 04, 2011, 07:17 AM // 07:17

Thanks frost and thistle, that cleared it up some

Hopefully next year, if there's a literature section, i'll make something

Aghore, thanks so much for the effort your putting in this <3 I think ice tooth cave will be great, as long as people are forwarned, so that they can get any needed chars there ( I personally hate prophecies...XD If i HAVE to finish it i take a load of runs

)
Your prize has been tantalizing me

Everythings been set out, but yours just says....Arghore (~80k)...

WEll gl organizing party!

Aeronwen · Jan 04, 2011, 10:59 AM // 10:59

Good Luck everyone :P

Sentient I love that pic, makes me smile. Just wondering though, are the things dropping of the back an accident due to speed or is it a new delivery process? Will save Santa from getting sooty in those chimneys I guess.

Thistle, I haven't read yours yet as I am slightly reluctant to start if it is only half the story, are you planning to finish it off?

Oh and Ice Tooth Cave sounds lovely, unfortunately I am rarely available at party times as I only play when when family commitments allow.

I was wondering though as Tommy and I have both offered opressor weaps of choice,which obviously couldn't be handed over to the workshop organisers like the rest of the prizes, how do we know which winner to get for? Will it be posted on this thread?

Minami · Jan 04, 2011, 01:54 PM // 13:54

@Thistle: Your entry counts as finished, since you posted the final/finished version in the workshop. It doesn't matter that it has a sequel coming someday

@Aeronwen: The prizes will be distributed during the Workshop party, and those who win an Oppressor Weapon of choice will tell either me or Perynne (or Tzu, if she makes it) which one they'd like. As the winner announcement progresses in-game, I'll be updating this thread's first post with the winners' names.
Once they tell me which weapon they'd like, I'll either let the donators know at the party (if they're present), or will send a PM here on Guru.
The winners whose weapons can't be given right then and there will have to wait for a bit until the donator can turn in the medals and get the weapon.

Hope this makes sense ^_^
