Well here it is – the end of Ditto’s Pet-A-Palooza contest, where I asked you to imagine a major character from Wizard 101 and what kind of pet they would have!  I must say – I got many, many GREAT entries; some were really thoughtful, others were cute, and others were just hilarious!  I really admire all the creativity, and I congratulate all the winners!

Again, every entry was added to a bug list and then ten winners were chosen randomly, so it was completely fair – everyone had exactly the same choice.  Then I went through all the entries and just picked out my favorites – I’m postin gthose here as well, so everyone can enjoy them.

My Favorite Entries!
Taylor GoldenRider    – I think that Professor Drake would have a vicious orthrus hound, to chase away those “pests” or so called “students”.  Everytime a student he doesn’t like walks into his classroom he can tell his pet to chase them away.

Dakota NightBloom  –  I think Sylvia Drake would have had a Life Scarab. I think a petite, often over-looked pet would have fit her personality and since the scarab beetle is associated with death and eternal life, it would be a lovely sort of foreshadowing.

Stephanie Frostwielder – I would like to choose Jade Oni as my villain and in my humble opinion, I think Jade Oni would like a mini version of himself as a pet.  Just imagine, a HUGE jade oni and a TINY jade oni, just too cute!

Keira Mistcaller  –  I think professor Cyrus Drake would have a pet BookWorm named Percy.  Percy would be a persnickety little worm that would handle Drake’s “Bad Student List” (kinda like Santa’s naughty list).  In the evenings prof. Drake and Percy would play Scrabble (Ravenwood edition) and chuckle over the many funny failed spells they had seen from that day’s classes.

Tasha Sparkleheart – I think Belladonna Crisp, the pigswick academy principal has a Golden piggle, she’s probably tired of being surrounded by pigs so she hatches pets often with the hopes of getting a new one only she ends up getting the same pet, a golden piggle, that’s why we get that pet from the quest ‘crime does not pay’
John LegendMancer  –  I think that Meowiarty has a new breed of Ninja Pig pet, which gives Storm Shield card – Well, Meowiarty is myth schooled & myth is vulnerable to storm damages, Storm Shield helps! And of course, Ninja Pig is stealthy, quick & sneaky thief, The ninja pig can be presumed helping Meowiarty steal items!

Dylan Bearblood – I think that Dworgyn will have a Zombie pet, because he seems like the type of guy to reanimate the dead.

Cole Lifespear – I think Moolinda Wu, my teacher, would have a cute little bone dragon she rescued, and taught it about the school of life, even though it originates from the class of death. She keeps it as a class pet, and it represents harmony between all schools.

Gavin Stormrider  –  Villian: Morganthe.   Pet: (Made up my own) It’s called Bone Spider. (A skeleton of a spider)

Rebecca Nightflower – I chose Zeke – His pet would be a raven so it could help him fly to all the other worlds. Also, he would have a raven so it could carry supplies. Lastly, the raven could send messages to people in other world or around the world he is in.

Thanks again for everyone who entered, I had a lot of fun with this contest and I hope you all did too!!

Play Safe!!!

So here is another fun-filled contest for Pet-A-Palooza! Since I wanted to keep the contests pet-related, and I am currently in the middle of a wonderful Daring Adventure looking for Professor Falmea’s cat on Ravenwood Radio, I had a great idea! We all know that Headmaster Ambrose has a ‘pet’ of sorts with Gamma (Though I’m willing to bet Gamma wouldn’t agree with the role of ‘pet’), but what other pets do our favorite characters have? Does Professor Greyrose have an ice cat? Does Dworgyn have a cuddly black cat, or maybe a wraith? Maybe Professor Drake can’t have a pet, because he’s allergic, and that’s why he’s so grumpy….

What about the bad guys – do the villains have pets? Maybe Malistaire has a cuddly pet Piggle named Chauncey who snuggles with him as they watch TV and plot to take over The spiral! What kind of pet would Rattelbones have? Does the Crab King have a pet hermit crab? Are they related?

So here are the rules – between now and Midnight PST on Saturday June 9th, send me an email to dittocontest@gmail.com with the subject ‘Pet Contest’ and tell me which major character you’re choosing (good guy or villain) and what kind of pet they would have, and why. Make sure you include your wizard’s name as well. Oh, and try to keep it to a few lines – I do have to read all these, and if the response to my last contest is any indication, I’ll be doing a LOT of reading – I can’t wait! So be creative, have fun with it, and definitely don’t be afraid to be silly! Try to stick to pets that exist in-game, but if you have a good idea and a good reason to get creative, go for it!!

For choosing the winners, I want to make sure it’s completely fair, and choosing winners based on my opinion of their entries is really subjective, so this will be a random number drawing. I will, however, be posting my favorite entries to my website, so get creative and you could see your entry here!
And just to be perfectly clear, because it’s a random number drawing, getting posted to the website doesn’t mean you win the prize, and winning the prize doesn’t mean I’ll post your entry to the website! Also, I doubt if I will be able to post ALL my favorites, because I get a LOT of entries for this kind of contest, and many of them are really, really good.

And now for the good part – the prizes!! Well, this contest includes a Power Pig pet and a code for 10,000 crowns!! That’s a pretty awesome prize, if I do say so myself.

So that’s the big contest – send me a major character and tell me what kind of pet they would have, and why… this should be fun!!
