Let's Talk Music

So, I've put a playlist of four or five songs (I don't remember which) on the side. If you like them - or if you don't - please tell me in the comments so I can change it to suit people's preferences. Or, alternatively, you can all suggest a song and I'll put a huge list on the side.

If you don't like the music being there, then I can either take it off altogether or just make it only play if you want it to. Of course, this is again totally up to you TC-er's, just like everything else on this blog is, except the colour scheme.

Also, I never asked you guys whether you like that prize. If you don't, I could always give an old DKNY or LE or something else instead of a hundred stardollars? I don't know what you guys want, but I'd personally prefer the money. :L

So yes, lots of questions. Answer them below and you might just receive a free cookie! Remember that voting starts at the end of this week and then you will have three tense weeks of watching your votes dwindle on zero or rise to the top.

I'm still thinking up the challenges, but they're sure to be extremely difficult but fun to do. Hope you guys are all very exciting; I would be!

Voting Begins In A Week

It's been three weeks since the auditions first opened and so next Sunday they'll come to a close. So far we have eighteen entries from TC-er's new and old. All of the entries are familiar faces though, which is nice to see, and it'll be sad to see two thirds of them not make it through to the top ten, but there's always next year, huh?

The voting will probably stay up for two or three weeks, or else just long enough for us to get ten clear winners and no ties. I'd hate to have to do a tie breaker or something, especially considering I know and love pretty much all of the people that have auditioned. I'm hoping this won't turn into a popularity contest either... I hate it when that happens.

Also, the prize has been decided, which got some of you really excited. It is - drum roll please - one hundred shiny stardollar's and a t-shirt/camisole with Miss TC 2011 Winner written on it. Obviously, the hundred stardollars will be provided by me (so be grateful, lucky brats.)

Auditions For Miss TC 2011

Well, the public has spoken and today is the official start of Miss Twilight two thousand and eleven. You have three weeks to enter and the rules are in the absolutely huge post below this one. Just so we're one hundred and ten percent clear though, I'll repost the rules and what's going to happen in this first stage below. Remember you can only enter once, so check your entries carefully and make sure to follow the rules!

There's actually only one serious rule, but it still matters that you follow it: one entry per person: enter yourself or another person (with or without their permission, but if they don't want to do it and they reach the top ten then I will go onto the next person.) Don't be offended if you're not in the top thirty/top ten. And last but not least make sure you fill in every section of the form in legible English or else your entry will be disregarded.

Are you entering yourself or a friend?
Stardoll username?
Real name/nickname?
Approximately how long have you/they been in TC (in months)?
Why do you think you/they should win?
Will you/they be able to complete all the challenges?

And that's that. Please only post once unless it is to amend your last post. In three weeks time when I get back from my holiday I will make a new post telling you guys the top thirty and then you can start voting for your top ten. Of course, I can't monitor voting, so you can vote as many times as you like. :)

Welcome to Miss Twilight Club

This idea is still in the early stages of creation, but I thought I might as well put it out there and see what you guys think. Every summer starting in twenty ten, Stardoll holds Miss Stardoll World, the competition which makes one member of the million or so that are actually active and makes them feel special for the couple of weeks they're on the homepage.

Since a fair share of well-known and extremely deserving Twilight members were banned last summer, we can no longer win or even participate in Miss Stardoll World. It's our own faults, of course, but I couldn't help but feel like those Twilight members deserve something else, something that can make them feel special forever, because their name will always be there as a Miss Twilight Club winner.

The competition - if I did decide to go through with it and if I managed to get prizes from somewhere - would be held every year in winter (the opposite time to MSW). The challenges would become harder each week. I think there'd be rules for entry, such as your first post in the club being over a certain period of time before and stuff on those lines, but other than that anyone could enter.

We would have three stages. The auditions, where everyone would comment their entry forms on a post on this blog and the first thirty legitimate entries would go through to the second round. Of course I'd have to hire some people to help me, because I don't plan on spending the entire end of my summer holidays looking through people's previous posts.

Then, there'd be the voting, where we'd invite the general public of Stardoll to vote for their favourites out of the thirty entries. Of course we'd have rules about voting and if if any of the top ten were caught begging for votes, broadcasting, writing "vote me for Miss TC" on their presentation or anything like that they would be disqualified for not playing fair. (I feel like a teacher, but oh well.)

After that, we'd have ten weeks of tense - ha ha I doubt it'd be that tense - competition. Each week, I would post a challenge on the blog. The remaining finalists would have three days to complete this entry and bring it back to me. I'd then post them all on the blog and the general Stardoll public (again) would vote for the ones they thought to be best.

Obviously, I would have no say in the voting, which is exactly the way I like it, because that way no-one can yell at me when they didn't get through to the next round/didn't even place in the top thirty. I think it'd just be easier if I stayed completely out of all voting and give other Twilight members a say in who gets kicked out and who actually takes home the prize.

I posted the idea in TC and a lot of people said they wanted to enter now, so as soon as I get back from my holidays at the end of August, I'll start taking entries for Miss TC two thousand and eleven! You can enter yourself or nominate someone else, but I've just thought of another rule: you must have a registered Blogger account/your username as your post name to enter either yourself or someone else.

Obviously I'll give you guys more information in three weeks or so, when we start taking entries. Please don't post below that you want to enter yourself or someone else, I think pretty much everyone does. I'll tell you more about the prize when I've figured out what it'll be myself. If you want me to advertise your blog down the side then make me a little logo for your blog (smaller than two hundred by two hundred pixels).

Got an idea for a challenge? Want to help me plan and go through with this? Maybe you even want to give me an LE/Antidote/DKNY/RARE/Tribute item as a prize? Comment below and tell me what you guys think of this idea. If you did help me this year, you wouldn't be able to enter, but you could do the year after. It'll take three months and three weeks to find a winner if we start in August.

Phew, this was a long post. I think I repeated myself like six times on everything, but I'm just making sure. So again, tell me what you guys think of the idea and I think we'll have fun doing this. I'm making a banner so that'll be out soon. Any ideas for a colour scheme would be happily taken into consideration as I'm one hundred percent stumped. :)
