Current Status: CONFUSED

UPDATE: It's complicated, but the short version is: Kaylune's site went down because v-petsite revamped. And the new-and-improved Kaylune (off v-petsite) is almost finished. But the owners are thinking of taking it in a new direction. I'm not entirely sure what that direction is, or what it means for the contest. The contest may be postponed? I'll try to update again when I find out more about it.


Kaylune: [link]

Kaylune is a new, growing petsite in its Beta stages. Right now it is on a v-petsite but we are working to move it off there with more features than before.
In the meantime we thought it'd be fun for members to create the next pet species!

The Theme
Draw, or write a detailed description, of a new pet species for Kaylune.

The Rules
Nothing inappropriate please.
Don't steal pets from other sites.
You can submit up to three entries.
Staff will have their own seperate contest to be fair. ^^ So when you submit your entries title them either 'member' or 'staff' depending on which one you are.
Add your Kaylune username when you submit your entry.
You must be a member of Kaylune to enter. For prize reasons. So join now!

Tips
We don't want anything too similar to another site's. Kaylune is striving for a fresh unique look.

Don't make it bloody/gory.

Create something that was made JUST for Kaylune.
Not something you've entered in another contest before. Or something you've had in your old story or roleplay. Or something that you doodled one day and has been sitting in your deviantArt gallery for months.
The reason for this is we don't want people seeing our pet and thinking (a) Kaylune is unoriginal and stole it, (b) this pet reminds me of another pet/art/writing site, (c) I've seen this before it's not NEW.

Also you are creating this pet with the understanding that it is JUST for Kaylune and if it is chosen to be a pet/kale on Kaylune then you can't use it for anything else.

Where to turn in entries
People can turn in entries to me (Hotleray) and I can post them all in one thread on the Kaylune fansite (AvD). I can also post them in a journal here on my dA account Fatalityfold. :3
Either message me on Kaylune, or AvD, or the Kaylune Temp Forums. Include your Kaylune username and whether you are a member or a staff member.

Voting
And there are two votes. A public vote. Where the members of Kaylune send Tyler messages of what three species they like best. And a judge vote. Where the co-owners + Tyler decide which one they like best.

The public votes first. The Judges, based on the results of the public vote, then make their own decision.

Deadline
The Contest started August 7th. It ends September 22. It can be extended if needed.

The public judging would take either three weeks or till we get 20 votes, whichever comes first. Then the judges would get a week to decide after that.

Follow Up Contest
There may be a follow up contest to decide upon a name for the species.
