Wolfheinrich's World

A few weeks ago I announced that I will be holding an Adopt a Sasara 久寿川 ささら Contest and I have spent the last couple of weeks trying decide on a contest format that is fair and have the ability to incorporate my own opinion as well as public opinion and finally, to test the contestants’ knowledge about Sasara! I have actually decided on the contest format some time ago but since we are drawing close to December, I think it’s best to get the contest started, the intent is of course to have Sasara arrive at her new home before Christmas.

Anyway, here are the rules:

• Hopefully, Danny won’t mind that I am using Figure.fm as the contest location, otherwise I will have to host it in my own site, which could be less fun
• Contestant must already be a member at Figure.fm, and have already introduced himself/herself to the community in one way or another, in an attempt to weed out any potential Dollfie Dream reseller.
• Contest will be consists of two parts
• The first part of the contest involves the contestant submitting an “application” to become Sasara’s new parent, this “application” can be represented in any form, it can be a Sasara fan art, can be a 4koma, composite photo, a poem, an essay, absolutely anything you can think of that can show how much you are going to love your new daughter Sasara.  Your goal here is to impress the “Judges” and show how much affection you have for Sasara, please keep that in mind and keep it in good taste.
• Contestants will have to submit their application to me at wolfheinrich at hotmail dot com no later than the end of the day on December 10th, 2009 CST.
• Now the next part is where both my own opinion and the public opinion will be considered:  I will choose one  favorite application (without telling anyone) and I will also post all of the applications to figure.fm for everyone to look at and vote for their favorite application.
• If the one I chose and the one chosen by the figure.fm community is the same application, then it’s automatic winner, no further contest would be necessary.
• If the one I chose and the one chosen by the community is not the same, the two contestants will advance to the next stage and have to answer a list of quiz questions I have prepared, the subject is of course going to be about Sasara’s storyline as it is presented in the ToHeart 2 PC version of the game (the OVA doesn’t count since I don’t consider that the real storyline), some questions about figure.fm and some about my own blog.  This part of the contest will have to be conducted in real time so whoever answered the all the questions correctly first will be declared as winner.

Ok that’s basically all the rules, the eventual winner will have to pay a “dowry” $650+$50 Express mail shipping/insurance to me at a paypal account I designated within a few days time so I can have Sasara sent out (with tracking number) to the winner in time for Christmas.

Oh, one more thing.  I know there is no way I can actually enforce this, but let just say I will be very unhappy to see Sasara here being “resell” for profit in anyway.  I am doing this to specifically to avoid seeing Dollfie Dream being used for “profit” making while robbing legitimate collectors in despair.
