Actually, the end date is Dec 8th, so that should be next Saturday. I planned it that time because I have finals coming up next week and don't really have time to log in very much. I'm sorry. Once the contest officially closes, I'll post up all the entries in an incredibly long post for you all to see. (It may be a few posts actually.)

Well, I wouldn't say that it's like a beauty contest since neither the most beautiful nor the most talented win. It's the character that is the most developed and unique.
And, I didn't come up with it. The OC contest was originally planned by the staff here on DH but was discontinued because no one seemed interested in running it. So, I decided to help run the contest and am offering prizes for those who win.

Not unless the compliment is rightfully mine. If it isn't, then it's kind of hard for me to accept it. Anyway, I recounted the entries and we have a total of 8 entries so far. It's not bad, but I had expected a little more. Oh well. Closing date is tomorrow! Tomorrow night @ 11:00 PM Pacific is the close time. After that, I'll post all the entries up so that people can see it. Judging will also take place. Please give judging some time (since some of the judges have finals next week). Prizes will also take some time. (You know, the prizes take time to make. It's not something that I slapped together in two minutes.)

That's okay if you didn't get your entries in on time. Maybe next time I should make the length longer. Perhaps two weeks is not enough time? If all goes well, there might be another OC contest...
EDIT: I'm so sorry guys. Judging will last a little longer than I had anticipated. You see, I'll be going into surgery tomorrow and will not be able to check my e-mail until I have recovered.

Alright everyone. I received responses from 2/3 judges, but that'll have to do because I don't want to prolong this any further. I would like to thank Fadius and PigglyWiggly for their help. Below are the winners along with their character's name and some comments made by the two judges.
1st PLACE : Manzai : Yu Hui -- Yu Hui is original because she doesn't seem to be an uber-awesome fighter but is still cool. She's a blind musician -- let's just give her props for actually doing something cool. Can somebody say Mozart?
2nd PLACE : Manzai : Kiga -- What? A guy built for eating competitions? I would have never thought of this. I commend the writer!
3rd PLACE : Zukosfire5 : Fen Li -- Fen Li is pretty useful. I mean, if you can't have a fighter, you need a healer, right? The thing that caught my attention the most is some government intervention. Finally, a profile that actually incorporates the stranglehold that government has on people!
Judge's choice : d-1-'n'-only : Kani -- Because she believes that she's an airbender damnit! And she's extremely young. The only weird thing is the "witch" part. Little kids can be so mean.
Awards will be posted once it's made. In the meantime, I hope everyone amuses themselves with the other contests going on. Once I'm feeling better (since I'm still recovering and am typing under the hawk eyes of my mother), I'll try and continue the contest.
