Hello everyone! I'm back with another cycle! If you missed last cycle, you can check it out on the blog, where it's been summarized.

Welcome to

I started this competition because I was sick and tired of all the barbie sims out there that are in most of the competitions, and because I've always been fascinated with the gothic culture and have wanted to see a gothic themed comp since the whole comp craze started last year. So, if you've been wanting to enter your gothic sims into a competition that won't reject them for being too dark or not pretty enough, please join this one!! Another initiative to join this comp (and hopefully makes it unique) is that, like last cycle, there will be a few assignments that will require each contestant to submit a poem that corresponds with their picture (poetry is incredibly important in the gothic culture).

WARNING: Because this competition has a gothic theme, there will be some heavy topics. So, those with weak constitutions should probably turn back now.

Alrighty! I would like 10-12 gothic models. They can be male, female or trans-genders; teen-adult. I would really love to see some males this cycle...there was waaaay too much estrogen last cycle! lol We need more testosterone! Also, don't be afraid of entering sims of different races...not all goths are white....

I'm sorry if I sound like a B, but as this is a 'Gothic' competition, all Emo, Scene, modern 'Punk' (Avril Lavigne/Blink 182 style), and Fangbanger (Twilight) entries will be ignored. Vampires are fine, just stick to the classics, please. Also, 80's style punk is ok, just as long as they are more goth than punk (called Deathrockers). If you're unsure of what styles are acceptable, please look here for some of the main gothic stereotypes (she's added two new ones since last cycle's first assignment....oh, and ignore the emo one on there please....)....and be reminded that these are just stereotypes and are only to give you an idea of the culture....most goths don't fit into one category....also, that website is a great starting point in research of the gothic culture, and I advise you to do your research....

Cheers!
Akasha

PS. To all of you who are worried about your sim not being pretty enough, or your editing skills not being good enough, don't worry!! This isn't a beauty contest! And major editing will not be allowed. I, personally, prefer unedited pics, or pics with very little editing! FYI

PPS. Another FYI. Each assignment will be about a week apart, giving everyone plenty of time to submit their photo. Also, never hesitate to ask for an exstention! I will be more than happy to give you one!

Thank you Cece, for letting me host this here again! :D

I just realised how much I say also....

I have been waiting for this!! I entered my simmy in the Seven Deadly Sins comp to explore the rage she has developed for those that don't respect her choice of music/clothes/makeup/past times mainly family members.

Even though I'm tending to favor unedited shots these days it's always nice to have the added restriction of not being able to edit even if I wanted to hehe.

Name: Drea Hardy

Age: YA

Gender: Female

Traits: Genius, Virtuoso, Hot-Headed, Bookworm, Insane

Shown wearing more romantic goth attire, Drea doesn't restrict herself to one style of dress, her favorite color is black anything beyond that is entirely dependent on her mood.

Recent Deadly sins entry, Drea in a more japanese goth outfit.

Chase Gordon
Young Adult Male
Traits: Good sense of humor, Handy, Virtuoso, Bookworm, Charismatic

Bio:
Chase started his goth days back when you couldn't find a Hot Topic in every mall. He feels he is "old school" and doesn't care too much for the neon hair. With black jeans, black shirt, a pair of combat boots and some good metal, there's no need for some expensive getup from the mall with neon plastered everywhere.
Chase has felt a sorrow greater than ever this year with the passing of his role model, Peter Steele. He feels this competition will be a great creative outlet for his thoughts.

Wow! Two already! Awesome sims guys! And yay, a dude! lol

I'ma need a reserve, I'm going out with friends sooon

Or, you can suffer without a body shot for now xD



Name: Ashwin von Eichenchvil :twisted:

Age: YA

Gender: Monkey Lol Female

Traits: I don't think I assigned them.... xD

Head Shot: Can be in CAS or in-game.


Body Shot: Can also be in CAS or in-game. Really show off your model's gothic style!
Suffer for now xD

She looks awesome, Jake, but I don't know if I can pronounce her name. And I got so excited about my entry I forgot to tell you PK that I am happy to see Drea :D

URG! I realized that thats her picture before more editing Whatever xD I got a new skin anyways, so she looks different.

Ash-win von I-kin-shi-val.

That's what helps me xD It's hard for me, I combined german and czech in her last name xD

It's alright Jake. lol

Btw, where'd you get her dress? It's really pretty.

Reserve reserve reserve!!! We're going to town today so I can work on everything when we get back.

OMG! Yay. I was going to enter a different comp but I know I can only handle one and I'm definitely going to prefer this one. I'm so excited!

Wait I can enter this one even though I was in the first cycle right?

Don't temp me like this, I would have to drop a few comps, but....I'll be back later. *disappears in a poof of smoke*

I want more men too... Don't make poor Chase be alone

You are very welcome Kash!! Thank you for hosting it here...I love this contest!!!

Forgot to ask, do you want the banner on the front page or just inside the thread like as is?

I didn't even realize this was here until now lol :lol:

Anyways, great looking sims so far! And we got a male entry, yay! Last season was amazing but we need more variety this time round ;)

Keep 'em coming guys.

Cece- Yeah, you can put the banner on the outside. Hopefully it'll work this time. lol

And yay for more entries!! THey all look freakin awesome!!

Hey RD!! How you been girly?! We've missed you around here! And yes, you can enter, even though you were in last cycle.

Oh, and thanks Jake. It's funny, because I already have those dresses, but I didn't recognise it on your model! lol....I'm gettin old....or maybe I need to clear out some of my CC.....

What do you mean the banner didn't work? I'm so confused...was it supposed to do something...remind me please.
My baby sis came into town last night and will be here this weekend, so just pm or tell me here. Great entries so far!! Can't wait to see it get started!! Giggity!!

It wouldn't show up for me and when you tried to make it a link, I don't think it worked.... Anywho! Have fun with your sister.

Oh okay I remember now!! Hmm...I can try that again or just put a link under it like last time. Is there anyway you can make it a little slimmer in height?
Do you want it linked to ts3 or somewhere else? And I guess I should change your side box announcement to 'hosted by Akasha' maybe?? Or keep as is. Just tell me and I will take care of it for ya! And yes...I hope we have a great weekend. I miss her being so far from home but I'm glad it's only like a 5 hour drive. Ok...enough off topic! :D On to the contest!!!
I have 2 really awesome contest hosted here and I'm loving every second of it!

Just use this code (minus the * of course. lol)...it's the old one, which is fine...all we need is the contest name. There's no need for a link. The only thing over on the official forum is a note for the sign ups. The rest is gonna be over here.

And you can change it to Akasha or leave it as is, I'm fine with it either way.... Sorry, I'm a really indecisive person sometimes.....

Cheers! :D

Hi ya All,

Here is my entry.

Woot! another!

Name: Lysander Sheath

Age:YA,

Gender: male (female?) read the bio for why

Traits: Insane, Innapropriate, Nuerotic, Loner, over-emotional

Bio: It's not required, but I feel I should explain. You see, Lysander is crazy. Not party crazy or crazy fun, but medically institutionalized crazy. Excuse me while I list them off. Bouts of Epilepsy. Severe Bipolar Disease. Depression. addiction to Alchohol and Drugs, mainly narcotics, hallucinogens and opiates. (sad but true. Blame the mental mind games he's got going on in his brain). Schitzophrenia. And last but definitely not least, Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple personalities). Before he stopped going to therapy, they'd found up to 5 other personalities going on. A canine, a 79 year old man, convinced that he has to avenge an imaginary family, a 14 year old girl that thinks she's on fire, a 5 year old who sounds and acts possessed, and an angolan woman of thirty who trusts nobody except Simba, her pet cat.

That's just his problems. Lysander is more of a Cabaret goth stereo-type than anything. He's not always fully there(in terms of concious mental stability). He skipped his 4 hour therapy sessions after 3, and never came back. Rich as heck, he spends his day in a boggy marsh, raving like a lunatic, writing poetry and rambling. It one of the few ways he can communicate with the outside world.

If this doesn't fit for this competion, tell me and I'll change it or get rid of it. I just love his insane satanic personality. It's him that's goth, nobody/ nothing else (cause he has a dog/wolf personality as well). He's just in a bad place right now.

Wow!! Now this is getting juicy!!

lol. That's awesome. Thank you for deciding to sign up! :D

Yay! Chase is not alone! Wow I can't wait to see his pictures either. Going to be very interesting

Also the fact that he's 1/3 woman, 1/6 animal, and 1/2 man. This is gonna be hard, cause I have to incorporate the madness in with it.

Loving everyones sims!
I hope ill be able to compete XD

Not necessarily, Westie. Background stories are nice, but you don't have to include them in every picture...unless you want to of course, but you won't be graded on it.

LOL I just saw this! These entries are unbelievable so far -- I definitely made the right decision in just lurking this time!

Really freaking out here -- I just can't WAIT to see this get started. Looking VERY forward to seeing what you guys come up with -- Good Luck Everyone!

Hey there girly! Will you be judging the first assignment? *puppy eyes*

LOL if my computer isn't completely dead, then sure! *crosses fingers till they pop off*
