(Every time I try to participate in stuff, I end up having a question...) Are visible references to anime, manga, etc. that have nothing to do with Yu Wo or Yu Wo's works (and fanworks lol) allowed? Example: a drawing or comic that references the vocaloid song "Trick or Treat" (not what I have in mind, by the way, but it's an example most people would understand). And by "reference," I mean that it's something that's obviously not 100% original, used for an original purpose.
Getting more specific to my idea (yeah, it's just an idea. I don't know for sure whether I'd be able to pull it off or not. Especially with my birthday being so close to the deadline.) I was thinking about using a song from an anime that was released in the Halloween special, but making a cover of it (so as to avoid copyright issues) and including art in a PV that's more of a slideshow... But if that doesn't work, I do have one failsafe, which brings me to anther question: If I were to do something like that, could I do it on Sudomemo? I don't know of any way to post flipnotes besides sudo... So it would have to be posted there, first. That's just a precautionary question, but I could do something like adding a message along the lines of "This is an entry to the PR! Halloween contest/This belongs to TheBookGirl" to avoid the possibility of username theft. It would still probably be a cover (because I need to get over my fear of recording my voice), it's just that I would have to link to it in my submission, and I don't know if that's okay. It would still be mine, and it would still be made for this contest... I'm just... I'm not sure if that's allowed or not. If it's not, I can come up with other ideas easily.

thebookgirlReferences are fine! Covers are fine too. If submissions are a file type that cannot be displayed on our forums, linking to an outside site is fine. However, please provide preview images here on our forums and a description. It would help boost traffic to your entry.

Is there any way to put in more than three pictures in a post without needing to link to an external site? Could they be put in as non-attachments?

CherryChimchimThe only storage we have on our forums is attachments, and we have a limited space for them. So, I actually advise that people upload images to an external image hosting site and display the images here using an image tag. Otherwise, we are eventually going to run out of space! I can look into an image plugin to see if there's a work-around. ETA: Good news! I added a plugin to our forums that allows us to upload images. The images are uploaded to a third party host, so it does not use up our storage. You will be able to display more than three images, and image tags will automatically be added for you. Just click on the "add image to post" button. A thumbnail will automatically be generated. (At the moment, I do not think there is an option to display the image without a thumbnail that requires people to click on it)

ArianaAhhh such nice fanart!! *^* So impressed that you didn't smudge anything since you use pencil. If I had to shade in that much the whole thing would become black due from smudges XD

Thank you :-D
I avoid smudging (mostly, I don't always manage...especially with the outlines) by working as strictly as possible from left to right and top to bottom, and if not possible, I put an empty sheet of paper between my drawing and my hand.

dahlysThank you :-D I am always impressed with the great ideas I see in those contests (like your comic). I am so woefully uncreative in that aspect...

ArianaWhat a beautiful drawing. (: I really loved the scene with the three of them wandering around Leaf Bud City together. Brings back good memories (though somewhat bittersweet in hindsight). The three of them sure fit Halloween very well. dahlysAll those shinigami. XD KrescentAhhhh, so many Yu Wo series! This is amazing. Even Lin Jian Yin is there! Being stomped on, ahaha. Pffft, Ziya has no costume. That is oddly fitting. Haha, your costume choices are so amusing. I laughed at Liola the alien. (Baolilong looks so pleased) Ohmygod and Meatbun are adorable.
