Valentine ContestDeadline: When February 28th ends in all time zones. Winners announced: There will be two winners: first place and second place. Winners will be announced by March 15th. How to win: Submit your love letter in a post, and once the deadline is passed PR! staff members will vote for their favorite one. Contest description: All you need to do is write a love letter. The love letter must be from a character from any series created by Yu Wo, and in which they are declaring their undying love to either another character or an object *cough*. You can also choose to write a letter from a secret admirer to another character or object. Preferably, it’s fine to make us guess either the sender or the recipient, but it would be better if we could know at least one of them. Your letter can be funny, sad, or even cute, as long it’s not boring. Details and Rules:1. To enter, you must have an account on PrinceRevolution's forum. We will contact you through the PM system in the event that you have won. 2. One entry per person. Please don't use different accounts to participate more than once. We will most likely know if you try, and you will get disqualified. 3. PR! Staff members can participate but they are not allowed to vote for the winners. 4. Late entries will not be considered. 5. Please keep the content of your letter in the rating of PG13. No need to scare the fans with too mature content, right? 6. If you’re going to be very vulgar in your letter, please try to censor yourself like the author did with Prince in ½ Prince. 7. The limit for the number of words for the love letter(s) is from 250 to 600 words. 8. If you want to, you can send up to 2 letters as long as you respect the word count. Both letters once added together can't have more than 600 words. Instructions:1. In your submission post, please mention above your love letter which series the chosen characters are from. 2. Your letter can be handwritten (put a good picture of it in the post) or written directly in your submission post. Prize options:Grand Prize (first place) can choose 1 from below:1. Snail mail from PR! including a handwritten letter, one LSK keychain and Lucathia’s autograph (limited edition). 2. Request PR! staff to sing a song of your choice. Only some staff will be available. They’ll try their best~. Good luck trying to guess whoever sang it. Keychains available (X means that there are none left.) Runner Up Prize (second place) can choose 1 from below:
1. Request PR! Staff to sing a song of your choice. Only some staff will be available. They’ll try their best~. 2. Decide the theme and the details of the next contest held by PR!. Regardless of what you pick as the winner of either prize, you’ll also get a shiny forum badge featuring a Gui totally enamored with Prince! We look forward to your participation!

Pardon me, but I have two quick questions to ask:
1) Do we submit here, or is there a separate thread? 2) If I'm turning in an art piece, does the word count still apply? I have an approx. 140 word caption that goes along with the main piece, but it's not the overall focus or anything...

Hello, moonlightray1)Yes, you do submit here. 2)I repeat that the theme is a love letter. Your love letter must be between 250 and 600 words. Anything else you submit with it won't be considered in the voting. However, to answer correcty your question, you are indeed allowed to submit an art piece, but only as long it contains a love letter and respect the number of words. This is very important. If what you sent doesn't follow the theme and the number of words, it is very likely that you will loose your chance at winning this contest.

Question: Is the minimum word count set in stone? I swear to the God of Light, I'm not being lazy and just submitting whatever, but the characters I'm using aren't very verbose. I can add more stuff to the letters, but it wouldn't be as true to character.

Hello unice5656 Yes, it's set from 250 (minimum) to 600 (maximum) words. I can't just go change the rules all of a sudden, particularly not after I already told a few people to respect that rule. Is it really impossible to have both letters together add up to at least 250 words to fit the minimum? XD Come on. I was being ridiculously generous when I allowed you guys to have up to 2 letters.

I'd actually have to agree with unice5656. I'm also having a very hard time trying to push my entry to the minimum word limit. Sun-speak is such a pain in the ass, and I hardly think Sun himself would even have the patience to spout 250 words of nonsense all in one go, ahahaha... That, and the fact that I may just lose my mind if I continue any further with his flowery speech >-<;;

Haha, I'm currently at two letters and 120 words. I think it captures the "undying love" part perfectly already, but I'll work on it, I guess.

Hahaha moonlightray and unice5656Think of this as a challenge. If it was so easy to win contest, there would be no point in even trying. I'm sure you can come up with something really good. Don't give up yet!

Okay, here's my submission, set in the world of 1/2 Prince. The untold story of Kenshin and Cold Fox. I honestly feel that the short version is way better, so I'm including it in a spoiler box. The longer one is my official submission. Kenshin,
I can’t keep up with you in sparring anymore. It’s time to retire from the Ice Emperor Syndicate. They are going to try to silence me to keep their secrets safe, so I am going into deep hiding as you read this note. I won’t see you again. It’s been fun, all these years. Thank you for the tea.
- Cold Fox
P.S. I’m sorry I tried to have you turned into a girl.
Cold Fox,
Don’t be silly. I already had an artificial body prepared for you. Hurry up and come back.
- Kenshin Dear Kenshin, It has been twenty years since we met for the first time. You haven’t changed a bit, but I can’t keep up with you in sparring practice anymore. It’s time for this old body to retire from the Ice Emperor Syndicate. They are going to try to silence me to keep their secrets. I’m still more than a match for anybody they send, but it’s a hassle, so I am going into deep hiding as you read this note. I won’t see you again, so this is goodbye. It’s been fun, all these years. Thank you for the tea. I left a cache of weapons and armour under your back porch in case you ever need them. The code is your level in Second Life, followed by mine. Stay safe. - Cold Fox P.S. I’m sorry I tried to have you turned into a girl. Cold Fox, Don’t be silly. I already had an artificial body prepared for you. I made Gui and Wicked integrate all your favourite weapons into it. You might even be able to beat me in sparring once in a while now. If the Ice Emperor Syndicate wants to interfere with your retirement, we can just go destroy it. Or, if you want to keep working for them, I guess you could do that, too. Either way, hurry up and come back. I bought a new blend of tea to try. I’ll save it until we can drink it together. - Kenshin P.S. Don’t worry. The artificial body is male.

Eclipse Hunter: Ri Ji Yan to his beloved My darling. I shall burn this letter, knowing it will never reach you, and hope that our son’s future will be a bright as these flames.
I know bitterly that while I grieve, you are finally happy, able to fly away from me just as these ashes have done.
“I love to watch the sun set,” you would say as you watched the dying embers of the sun each day. Upon seeing me there, your smile would slip away along with the color in the sky, and you would add, “But Ji Yan, you would hate sunsets the most.” Still holding on to the memory of the genuine smile you had watching the blood red horizon, I would never be able to help smiling in return. “No, the darkness lets the stars and moon shine brighter.” And at this, the lights in your eyes would die out as well.
Now that eternal darkness has claimed you, how brightly do you burn? The sun is no longer there beside you to overcome your light. Although the farther away you are from me, the happier you would be, I buried your body on the castle grounds, a futile attempt to keep you with me longer. However, you still will be able to see the sun set from where you are, and I will keep your grave free of any obstructions. No dark seed shall ever take hold where you rest.
I offer flowers. There is no response. Of course, whatever I give you, you never want.
Are the flames in Hell the same color as the sunset?
~~~ Please. Shoot him again.

Alright, here's my entry! Hopefully it's alright that mine is a bit more of a monologue than a traditional letter; I think it still gets the idea across~ Here's a transcript too, cuz you probably can't read what's in the picture, ahaha... “The God of Light is truly abundant in Her compassion and love, as She so kindly provides each and every one of Her beloved children with generous nourishment so that they may prosper throughout their lives. Her resplendent gaze beams down lovingly upon us all, as this Sun today bears witness to Her tender, benevolent nature. For upon this very day, She has brought forth a blessing unlike any other into the world…!
“From the deepest depths of this Sun’s heart, he is compelled to express his most sincere gratitude for the existence of a delicacy such as this divine golden tart! From the savoury richness of its sweet, sapphire filling, to its addictively scrumptious texture— There simply are no words that can do justice unto this masterpiece!
“Upon such a wondrous sight, this Sun cannot help but surrender himself a powerless servant unto its exquisite flavour! O, this passionate compulsion, this undying appetite for even just a taste of its fine decadence! To have stolen this Sun’s heart to such an extent so as to occupy his defenseless mind with thoughts of nothing but a craving for its presence, its tantalizing allure might even be comparable to the affections this Sun offers to the God of Light Herself!
“Ah, it is truly is a blessing for such a culinary masterpiece to exist in this world… There truly are no limits unto the benevolent charity of Her Holiness. Praise be to the God of Light for the miraculous creation that is blueberry pie!”

Legend of the Sun Knight (39 Gen): Charsia to Elaro
Dear Elaro-gege,
Papa came home with a bunch of sunflowers today for Mama and said “Happy Valentine’s Day”. Mama was very happy and gave Papa some blueberry chocolate truffles. I asked Papa what Valentine’s Day was and Mama said it is a day where people give flowers and chocolates to the people they love. So Charsia said she wanted to pick some violets and give them to Elaro-gege for Valentine’s Day because violets are Elaro-gege’s favourite. I don’t know what I said wrong, but Papa said a lot of bad words and flipped a table, but Mama smacked Papa with a spatula. It was very funny but you weren’t there to see it.
I never see you anymore Elaro-gege. You always say you’re too busy. When are you going to visit again Elaro-gege? You haven’t forgotten your promise to marry Charsia when she grows up have you? I’ll be old enough soon so you have to wait for me okay? I have been cooking with Mama a lot more now and I can finally make baked alaska by myself. Papa helped out too. Papa taught Charsia how to keep the ice-cream cold with ice magic. You’ve got to come try it Elaro-gege! I wanted to give you some violets but they don’t last very long, so here is a chocolate truffle heart I made just for you. Papa said he’ll give this letter to Elaro-gege, so I hope it hasn’t melted yet or else it’d be yucky. And HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Love, Charsia XOXO
