Not sure whether this should be under Promos or Events, but since it's related to Inksgiving I'll put it here under Events.
The "Q&A" and "Name the Egg" tiers for my thanksgiving promo have been reached! Here's how they will work:
First tier: Character Q&A. Blew through that one, so here it is: Ask any character in either of my series (Defining Daecon or Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days) a question. You can also ask me, the author, anything as well, because I am a character in WNHCD. Please keep in mind that WNHCD is a true story and the characters are real people, many of whom I had lost contact with years ago and many others who have passed away. I will do my best to get real answers from the real people, otherwise I might take it upon myself to answer for them (I will indicate if I have done so). If your question is for a Defining Daecon/Finding Daecon's Way character, anything goes, so ask away! Just be aware that I will not give spoilers for upcoming story lines. Hints, maybe. Ask your questions here on the Tapas forum, in the comments of the announcement episode, or on the Tapas discord server (though I will admit that I still haven't quite got the hang of Discord, so I might miss any questions there). Questions should be asked by 04 May, 2025, at which point I will post them on 05 May and they will be answered in a special 19 May 2025 episode (this two week interlude will give me time to draw any images required for answers). These special episodes will be cross-posted between Defining Daecon, WNHCD, Side Glances, and FDW.
Fourth tier: Name the egg. In the rearview mirror, baby! And, speaking of babies, did you know that Daecon and Evander have just had one? Well, technically not yet - Evander laid an egg, though, and when it hatches it's gonna need a name. This is where you come in: One of you will get to name the new baby! Some simple rules: Nothing silly like "Eggy McEggface". Must be a male name. Bonus points if it's Greek (Daecon and Evander both have Greek roots), even better if it starts with the letter D to keep in line with the shapeshifter tradition of naming royalty that way (Dontarion, Darion, Dionysius, Daecon....). Because this is a Very Important Egg (the first natural born shapeshifter in over 5,000 years and one who is a prince) the name should denote strength, power, intelligence, or things along that line. Same entry methods/dates/deadlines as the Q&A. I may let the winner be chosen by poll on the Tapas forums, or I my choose the winner myself, haven't decided that yet.
As an added incentive for the Name the Egg contest, here is a pic of the yet-unnamed (and unhatched) baby as drawn by the talented @feuersichel on the forum a while back (those wings are clipped on - while this will definitely be a powerful child, he is not a Dunamis and therefore cannot form animal/human hybrids):
So, with all that said, once again thanks everybody! Looking forward to your submissions!
