WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS



This posting is listed in big bold swirly letters on all Manta Boards:

AHOY! HELP WANTED. THINK YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE FACE OF ESCORDVI’S VERY FIRST ADVENT CALENDAR? POST YOUR GLAMOROUS PICTURES TODAY. POST THEM NOW!

A group of collaborators is looking to put together Escordvi’s very first annual advent calendar. For its inaugural year, they want to compile a collection of pictures of beautiful riftfarers to represent each month. These pictures can range anywhere from beauty shots, to thirsty body shots, to tasteful fashion poses. Anything goes!

Have your character post their own (or their friends, enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends, dogs) photos to this network post. NPCS can also be used to post photos. Then feel free to comment around on the photos with which month or season you think would suit them best. Or just comment about how much you like the photos. Who’s hot? Who’s not? Or about how horrified you are that someone posted yours! Any and all feedback is needed so they can create the best calendar ever!

At the end of the month, an advent calendar for 2025 will be created! If there are enough submissions, there will be multiple calendars so don't be shy or think you'll be left out! For ease of use, the calendar has been broken down into the four seasons so that multiple themed shots can be posted. Get posting!

PLEASE USE THE FORMATTING CODE PROVIDED IN EACH TOPLEVEL! Putting the character's name in the subject line is optional but helpful for quick reference. Any who don't follow instructions will have their comment screened so it can be edited. This is mostly to ensure images are not too large and stretching pages. Please try to crop images to best fit the code, especially long ones. The code will automatically resize images to a max width of 300px, so an image with a 3:4 or 3:5 ratio would be ideal.

I take it this silly nickname is something he is aware of?

And that this is a vote for him.

Oh, I call him all kinds of silly nicknames. My favorite is Sparkle Fingers, because of his ability to wield lightning.

How many votes do we get, because I want to give many?
garudas: (🗡️ 036)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-04 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I do quite like Sparkle Fingers. I will be sure to remember that one.

[She's terrible at this anon thing.]

And I suppose as many as is possible. One for each nickname?

Excellent, I hope some of them catch on so everyone is calling him nicknames.

[ She tries to come up with new ones, but this has been going on for a year. ]

That's a lotta votes. I don't even remember how many nicknames I've given him.

I suppose if you are commenting here, then we can both agree that he deserves every one of those votes?

[personal profile] pinksidekicking 2024-12-11 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure! I don't have a lot of other summer pics to vote for.
garudas: (🗡️ 020)

It would seem we all have to pick a month as well. I might opt for the warmest, if only because those are when summer storms are most common.

[personal profile] pinksidekicking 2024-12-15 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
July is probably the warmest in this world. August isn't a bad month either for going for the warmest with storms.
garudas: (🗡️ 011)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-18 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
August might work best, I think. We have seen some decent, powerful summer storms in that month. Only for warmth to follow. Add in the heat of his lightning and it is a perfect match.

[personal profile] pinksidekicking 2024-12-18 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Then lets throw all our August votes into Uncle Cidarino Capsparkle.
garudas: (🗡️ 052)

[personal profile] garudas 2024-12-20 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I do like that one. I will be sure to try calling him that, without the 'uncle.'

Have fun!

Not exactly the type of beard I think of when someone says "Corsair" but sure.

[personal profile] pinksidekicking 2024-12-07 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
He needs a beard long enough that he can put braids in it.
makoglow: (54)

[personal profile] makoglow 2024-12-08 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
With or without bows?
pinksidekicking: (12)

[personal profile] pinksidekicking 2024-12-11 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely with. He'd look great with bows.
makoglow: (73)

[personal profile] makoglow 2024-12-12 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should throw in some ribbons and beads.

[personal profile] pinksidekicking 2024-12-15 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
He'll look beautiful. I wish this world had the spray-in hair color. I'd give him a complete makeover.

[ Please ignore the fact that she would also spray paint their new pupper. ]
