So. I've been doing holiday pictures in create.swf for a year now. I really like doing this. But, alas, I have exhausted my original source =[
This is where you come in! You can request holidays for me to make a daily picture for!
THE GUIDELINESName of Holiday: "Today is <Date>, <name of Holiday>" Don't worry about the date. I'll fill it in.
Descriptive Blurb:
This must be in first person. Write your blurb as though you were personally describing it to another. I prefer it be between 1-5 lines long. Feel free to add quips, puns, profundity, and plays on words. Make it sound like something a person would say! Make it fun to read! Wild ARMs references are a plus.
Some examples!
July 31: Today is July 31, Desire Day. A desire strong enough to summon
Luceid... I thought my desire for holidays were strong enough to be
approved... But Luceid told me, 'Yours is just an obsession, so no go.'
Don't you think he's pretty stingy for being a Guardian of Desire?
July 8: Today is July 8, Adventurer Day. Adventurers are rare people fated
to die unless they continue adventuring, just as sharks must continue
swimming to survive. To protect this rare species from extinction, radio
programs release bits of adventure rumors to spark the adventurer spirit.
Just the other day, they broadcasted news about another floor discovered
in the Ruins of Memory! But this could be just another groundless rumor.
June 5: Today is June 5, Mist Day. Mist is scary, because there might be
a mist spirit hiding somewhere. The dunes are scary, because there might
be a sand spirit hiding somewhere. The sky is scary, because there might be
an air spirit hiding somewhere. Come to think of it, there isn't much point
to a day just for mist when you're scared of so many things.
April 30: Today is April 30, Jeans Day. Jeans are often called denims
lately, but who cares? Rose will be rose and jeans will be jeans, I say.
April 2: Today is April 2, Pillar Day. Pillars are the most important part
of buildings: psychologically, architecturally, and geomantically. That's why
we must thank our pillars and give them a nice pat. The pillar in Baskar must
be patted by many people today.
