Announcement
October through November (Octovember) will be all about pumpkins! As with last year, we're giving you all an extra month this year so you can show off Halloween pumpkins, too. Your pumpkins can be carved, a piece of artwork, decorated, or artistically smashed to pieces. Show us your creativity! If you're sharing a baked good, be prepared to share a recipe along with your submission. (Please?!)
The Prizes

- First: Custom Depart (4 choices below), 50 scrip, bag of autumn-themed clothing
- Second: Custom Depart (4 choices below) and bag of autumn-themed clothing
- Third: Bag of autumn-themed clothing
Custom Departs
Summer
Person's corpse begins to glow brightly, the radiating heat becoming almost too much to bear. His/Her skin turns first bright red, then splits apart as brilliant rays of pure sunlight burst forth from within! The light is blinding for a brief moment, but as this passes it becomes clear that Person is nowhere to be seen.
Autumn
Person's corpse shudders and suddenly explodes into a swirling mass of variegated leaves in hues of red and gold. The air takes on a crisp edge as the foliage floats away, leaving the lingering scents of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger in their wake.
Spring
Person's corpse shifts and shimmers as it transforms into a watery mass! Tiny droplets break away from the whole, floating upward as if becoming a gentle, spring shower in reverse. Soon nothing remains of Person but a damp outline.
Winter
Person's corpse quickly freezes over, a thick layer of ice and then snow appearing over his/her body until it resembles nothing less than a toppled snowman/woman! After a few moments, the entire display begins to rapidly melt away, leaving nothing behind but a heavy chill in the air.
Clothing Sets
Isharon: fuzzy pink-toed tarantula suspended from thick spidersilk straps
- double-layered silk gamantang batiked with burnt pumpkin hues
- beaded tail drape of rich copper silk suspending golden coins
Uzmam/Thayet: fuzzy orange pumpkin suspended from thick vine straps
- flowing thigh-length autumnal-hued tunic belted by a braided vine
- glimmering slender golden armbands set with darkly-hued jewels
How to Win
- Please keep in mind that entries will be made public for voting. With that said, that means that no submission may contain nudity or in other ways violate the TOS or our game rating of E.
- With each entry, please include a sign in your photo that contains your character or account name. Entries that lack this or appear to be stolen off the interwebs will be disqualified.

Q&A
- Will the instances have separate winning groups? Only if there are enough submissions (5) to warrant the separation. If not, all submissions will be pooled together.
- I want to submit my glorious pumpkin cupcakes, but I cannot share the recipe because it's secret. Submit the picture anyway.
