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.

[ Hell's bells. This reads like one of the romance novels he read for research. ]

If you ever have reason to tire of blacksmithing, perhaps you have a future in writing.

Writing? Really?? What makes you say that?

You described a smile using over one-hundred words while invoking different senses and imagery. There are few who would fail to see how you feel about her.

I think shes really rad and amazing?

I mean no one needs my grandstanding to see that look at her

While I can agree she is impressive on an intellectual level, her smile does not invoke the same feelings for me as you write.

[ Drunk Princess Miss Zelda is excluded from his opinion on her intellectual level ]
forgeabettertomorrow: (GHK!)

What?? Are you saying you dont feel even a little happier seeing her smile??

It does not invoke any grand or meaningful emotion in me as it does upon you. Her smile has much the same result as a smile from any other gentlewoman.

Okay but seeing other people smile must make you happy!

It largely depends on the person and situation.

[ He's had many smiling people threaten his life and sanity before. Smiling does not automatically equate to happiness. ]
forgeabettertomorrow: (eyyyyyy this guuuuuy)

My point continues to stand as well.
