I'll probably have to sit out this Wintersday contest again. I've got a ton of projects coming up - that's also going to be finals week for me. But we'll see if I can buckle down and get all these lame assignments out of the way during this month.
If I do, then I'd love to jump into another workshop with you folks.

I haven't received my email yet. Is something going wrong or am I just freaking out? D:
KiyaKoreena
I haven't either. Odd since they usually come before the webpage gets posted.

Lol at first it was a small thought in my little mind, but now you people made me worry :P
Edit: @ Death By An Arrow,
Oooh nice,
Carefully flipping the pages like they were made of butterfly wings, smelling the paper and ink when a new page reveals itself, letting your eyes move over every inch of each page, but carefull now, you don't want to look all the greatness away.
Sigh, I remember when my copy arrived

I filled in everything in Word (removed the stripes), tomorrow I will print it, put my signature on it, scan it and mail it back.
Or at least I think that is how it should be done.

I believe you only need to send it if you won a real-life prize, I can't directly recall what you won, but if you only got a mini guard, then you should be fine with emailing, or at least, that's how last years Wintersday art contest went.

XD" I printed it, signed it and stuff and scanned it. D: I hope they can read my writing? ,_,"

Print, sign, scan and send. Or use photoshop and a tablet. ;-)

I'll post them as early as I possibly can, in the meantime I'm sure the results of the official contest will keep you busy.
the party will be in international dist 1, with radio entertainment brought to you by GW-EN.
Lots of possibilities for prizes then as well, I'll post more info with a reminder as we get closer to that date.

I have an idea and too much free time, so I'd vote for "have a Wintersday workshop!"
Verene

I was wondering if you heard back an official 'gtfo literature' so I can stop wondering and waiting for her reply...
Since 05, there has not been a single mention of literature submissions winning and none of the people I know sent in one this year - a couple were good qualities (yours and mine included), especially compared to a couple others I saw.Out of this, I'd have to say: Literature aren't taken. Probably because, compared to artwork, literature takes too much time to go through. With artwork, you can spend a couple seconds and get most of the piece, with literature, you have to read everything - which takes much much more time.
Artemis Alexandrae
My one suggestion for future contests is that Anet should send out some kind of confirmation so you know they received your entry. :-)

Actionjack - XD Thats so adorable~
Bebe - YOU'D BETTER BE THERE >:CC!!!!!

Oh well, it was worth a try I'm glad <3 Nolani <3 people got to read our stories though, even though I would have loved for my story be displayed on the GW site for more people to read I was kinda hoping that with the GoA book out, they would post a few of the entered lit pieces...Anyway, I hope I'll have a tablet in time to get digital arts for the Wintersday contest I've been so inspired after seeing all the Halloween digital art pieces!
shady tradesman
It's too bad we won't get the minis before the contest. It would have been hilarious to see all the little candy corn guys around. :3
Starting to brainstorm what to do for wintersday. It will probably be something with less fire. xD Also, I got one of my IRL friends to say they'd enter. I hope they do
Verene
I'm kicking around the idea of doing something like propaganda posters for Grenth and Dwayna for Wintersday. No idea yet, though
Oh_Frustration
@ Artemis, I agree with that! Even an automated message would work, it's always painful to wait for the results, not knowing if you even sent the work correctly
Omigod, Arghore, that's a pretty list you've got there... But it'll surely go to a work of great quality, as there are no bad options in this workshop. Me thinks I should go buy some deep blue paper. I like working on coloured media, and blue goes nicely with white for drawing snow. Man. I can't wait for the next workshop
Ravenhawk
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with Wintersday stuff! I will probably sit out on that..but then I said the same thing at the beginning of the Halloween workshop. So we'll see >_>
Speaking of which , when are the winners of the workshop gonna be announced? O_o
Shy Guy
Today I think o _o

BTW, I forgot to mention I read through your story last week. That's some awesome stuff, and a big shame that ANet doesn't accept quality writing like yours' or Konig's.

So slightly threatening and slightly non-sexual?
Also I just finally got a chance to read your story, Thistle. That was really, really good.
