Subject: Guy Fawkes Avatar Contest! And the winners are...

Written By: Tam on 10/11/09 at 12:50 pm

Well, this is going to be a little tricky.
We have Halloween on the 31st, and then November 5th is Guy Fawkes Night.
Not much time to really get the contest going but we will give it a whirl anyway.
You must post in this thread in order for your avatar to be counted.
Once you submit your avatar to the contest, it cannot be changed, so please pick wisely!


November 1st - submit your avatars. (You must post in the thread with your avatar for it to be counted.)
November 4th (12:01am) - submissions close and voting begins
November 5th - winner is announced!

I am going to do the voting slightly different this time as well. After you vote, you will not be able to see the results until after I close the poll. Makes it more like a real vote/contest.
(Haha! I am going to change the Halloween one to this as well!)

So Yep! This is the contest.
Don't know who Guy Fawkes is?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes

ETA: Get ready peeps! Just a few more days and I will open the thread!!! 8)

2nd ETA: The contest will be opened tomorrow!! Get ready everyone!!!

3rd ETA: You will be allowed to vote for 3 avatars.

I will get around to changing our avatars later. I really hate to change the Carolyn Jones & Raul Julia avatars because I really love them.

A lot of the character names have some sort of little joke like that or at least their name helps define the character.  Dumbledore is middle english for bumblebee because Rollins thought he'd walk around humming to himself a lot.
