As Autumn's chill continues to arrive, all of Faenaria becomes alive with talk of the All Hallows' Season. With the fun and spooks that come with this time of year, everyone receives the much awaited orange envelope with an invitation to one of the biggest events of the year.

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Faenaria Halloween Ball!! It's the time of year where we get to bring out the fun and fancy in all of us to party the night away! This was one of the first events we ever held, and it's our yearly tradition! With this tradition comes our annual Halloween Costume Contest! This year, however, we're having TWO contests! One for members, and one for staff! That way, everyone can show off their fashion skills!!

With these contests, we always have a fun theme for the costumes! This year's theme is:

Victorian Elegance!

We want everyone to break out those fancy gowns, dapper coats, and gorgeous shoes! Dress with this theme in mind and a bit of flair, and you'll be sure to take home a prize! This year's prizes are as follows!
4th place is upping last year's 50,000 Wish Shards to 75,000! Always nice to have pocket change!

3rd place is a Haunted Shipwreck Background! Valued at 10 Dream Shards in Autumn Attitude, it's an amazing item to own!

2nd place is 15 Dream Shards! A staple for this event!

1st place is a good one this year! You get a CYO item from our most recent Spooky FA Update! There are some restrictions. The item can't originally cost Dream Shards, and cannot be a pet. Other than that, you can pick any of the remaining items to have recolored to your taste! The list of items you can pick is HERE!

You'll need to keep the outfit on during the whole event so that we can judge it at the end, so if you want to change outfits, make sure to take a screenshot of the outfit that you'll be entering! This event will be running from today, October 28th, to November 4th. On November 7th, we will announce the winners! Be sure to get those entries in!

Best of luck to everyone, and have a Happy Halloween!!!

YAY! *runs through sprinkling Halloween glitter all over the place*

*Elegance, dear

Those are great prizes!

Oh boy, this is gonna be a blast! Time to work on my style.

So, I decided to be unique since I'm in a mood right now. I won't be able to change just simply no time to, but the boots are appropriately gaudy and at least my feet won't get wet.

Interesting! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

I honestly have absolutely no clue how Victorian ladies dressed, so I rummaged around my closet for the fanciest stuff I could find and came up with this <-

Here's my entry for the staff contest!

And here is mine! Would have loved to use the umbrella, but unfortunately one cannot place it behind the hair(s)



(I'll be diving into the NaNoWriMo world from tomorrow on, so if I show up rarely, I am working, not (yet) dead )

I tried very hard to get the look of a bustle, not sure how well I managed, but. It's cute!

It looks like a bustle to me so I'd say you're doing good.

*flutters in as a swarm of bats before transforming in a poof of smoke....coughing* Well...that was embarrassing....Anyway! Everyone looks so amazing! I want to see who wins! Now where is the wine...? *wanders around sampling snacks, tosses a bit of confetti here and there, drinks merrily, does awful karaoke in a terrible Transylvanian accent and shows how little rhythm I actually have* What a great shindig!

Actual submission *sheepishly edited in on the 4th after reading directions and complying with the theme*

Spoiler: random pink forest creature made before following directions

I dressed as a funny forest fairy creature because I was feeling unusually pink today. Which is silly because it isn't even a wednesday

Alright, so here's my entry!

Here's my entry (the static version):

[Voidy doesn't really know quite how to do Victorian style and not be a cookie-cutter, but hey Demons tend to show off a lil more leg/skin than everyone else anyway so I'm winging it]

I have reading comprehension issues and didn't notice until just now that I was meant to be following a theme don't mind me thank you for somehow clicking me into reading comprehension and letting me somewhat sheepishly update my entry to be somewhat victorian In my head it was very much a wow everyone seems to be doing a very victorian ish aesthetic. then it was an oh right because there's a theme!

Here this is my entry:

Under the wire, I know.
