Now Playing: Wunderkind by Alanis Morissette
You had just completed one of the Snow Faerie's quests on the peak of Terror Mountain. Wandering down from the fearie's house you suddenly encounter a change of weather. Oh well. Blizzards do happen on Terror Mountain right?
Blinded by the snow it's difficult to tell where you're going. You brace youreslf against the numbing cold a pull your jacket tighter.
I hope I'm going the right way.. you wonder. You quickly look over your shoulder.. for some reason you feel like you're being watched...
SMACK! You topple over to the ground after running into something very hard.
You shouldn't be here. A deep female voice ripples over you.
You mumble something about being lost as your terrified, wide eyes gaze up. The wind dies down slightly and you are able to make out a huge red creature with enormous bat-like wings. Her skin is scaley and glowing slightly and her black hair whips around two fierce looking horns.
As you are lying there in the snow, the cold overtakes you. Trying to stay awake you reach out to the magnificant beast. The lids on your eyes slowly close.
All is black.
***
You wake up in a dimly lit room. Slowly sitting up you take a lok around you. Nothing can really be scene, but a small flickering light coming from an opening in the wall. You wrap the blanket that was on you tighter and wander to the opening.
A small fire is lit in a huge cavern. You gaze up trying to see the ceiling, but it's impossible. The room is filled with millions of jewels sparkling from the fire in the middle of the room. Your mouth opens in awe.
Finally decided to join us? The large dragon-like creature that you saw before was lying elegantly by the fire.
Ani thought we should take care of you. A death near the cave wouldn't be good for our reputation. Her voice is stiff as though she is wary of your presence. You shiver.
Come, sit by the fire. She says a bit reluctantly. You wander over cautiously and sit down. Looking around still you wonder what this place is.
I suppose I can tell you a few things about Ani's cave. I warn you though, if you dare release any of this information I will hunt you down and I will kill you.
You gulp.

Osa then answers your unsaid question: What are all those sparkling gems on the walls?
Those are crystals on the wall... Each one grows in a unique color. Ani uses those crystals to power the Lightsabers she makes for the BC Jedi and Sith. Hmph.. I don't think I should tell you any more... She growls at you. But Ani instists we can trust you. Osa rolls her eyes.
The BC Jedi & Sith were started one day among frinds at the Beauty Contest boards... BCers tend to get board of advertizing once in a while... Anyway Ani brought up that we needed Lightsabers in order to protect the BC better.
And the BC Jedi & Sith were born...
(Basically we are a group of friends who try to keep the BC and the BC boards sane. We "protect" it from n00bs, spammers, thieves, scribbles, and bad CAPs and we support original art! C: )
So you want to become a BC Jedi or Sith, eh? well first of all not everyone can become a BC Jedi or BC Sith!. So, here are some simple guide lines for joining us. ;)
•{You must enter the BC}•
OK this is a gimme. We are called the "BC Jedi & Siths" for a reason. Just because you like Star Wars or the Lightsabers doesn't mean you can join.
•{Be and active BCer}•
Don't enter once in your life just to get nps and never enter again. I'm not saying you have to enter every week, but once in a while would be nice. Another way to be active is to post on the BC boards even when you are not entered. Crit, chat vote... anything is good.
•{Support true art}•
You don't have to be the best artist in the world to be a BC Jedi or Sith. You just have to enjoy what you are doing.
Here are ways you can join us! Keep in mind we are not a guild! Just a close group of friends!
1. The BC Jedi & Sith were created on the Beauty Contest boards, so it's only fair that you find me or FMC (she's rarely there anymore...) on the boards and ask to become a BC Jedi or Sith. This way we will also know if you hang out on the boards and enter the BC! :)
2. Neomail asking to become one. You may do this if you don't see me on the boards or if you asked ont he boards and there was no response. If you do neomail me I would like to see you on the boards before I add you to The List.
Osa nudges a piece of paper toward you.
Here's the list of names of BC Jedi & Sith. she grunts, annoyed.
Fairy & Ani decided that we are going to have two lists. One of older members and one of newer. This is because some of the older people have been frozen, or quit, or are inactive.

Seeing as we're here to help protect artists, Ani thought it would be nice to have a Frequently Asked Questions so that you know before hand how to do something or if what your doing is right or wrong.
•{The Beauty Contest}•
Your pet will appear in the next contest. Starting on Friday at 4:15 pm NST
Q: OK, I'm entered... Now what?!
A: If you are over the age of 13, I HIGHLY suggest you go the the Beauty Contest Boards. Here is where you can get votes for your pet! Keep in mind, every user has one vote per species
Q: How do I behave on the BC board?
A: Like every board, there are certain ways the usuals like things to be done... These tips will (hopefully) help you get more votes and become friendly with the locals!
DO Provide a link to your pet's BC entry.
DO Be polite to other BCers and your competition.
DO Respond to the first post before you ask for a vote!
DON'T Advertize your enrty on a competator's board.
DON'T Advertspam (post the same thing like "Vote 4 me!" on every board).
DON'T Trade votes!! You can not exchange anything for a vote. This includes another vote!!
DON'T Say that it's your first time! Truth is, NO ONE CARES! :) If your art is good, you will get votes.
Q: Why was my image taken out of the BC?
Another reason could be because your pet went under a species change. If your pet is a lab rat, I would suggest that you don't zap them that week. If your picture looks like a jubjub, but is in the lupe cadegory because of the lab ray then your picture will be removed.
A: After the contest has been started, TNT still has the right to remove your image. Check to make sure you don't have a URL containing you deviantART website on your image. These aren't allowed in the contest and usually aren't removed until after the contest has started.
Q: Who do I contact for BC elated problems?
A: Please use the forms first for any problems. Keep in mind that the BC starts on Friday and TNT is not in the office usually on the weekends. If your problem hasn't been fixed by Monday or Tuesday then neomail Amanda W (The TNT member in charge of the BC) : -blocked-
•{Art}•
Another problem could be that you picture is too realistic. TNT has a thing for not liking images that look too much like a horse or a cow. Another problem related to this is Anthro. Anthro is animals with human characteristics, NOT humans with tails, ect. So if you images looks more human than animal they won't accept it.
Q: Someone has stolen my image! What should I do?
A: When I enounter a theft I like to take a screen shot (Windows: "Print Screen" Mac: "Shift + Apple Icon + 4") for a reference. These could come in handy later and also look nice on Wall of Shame.. ;) Next you should ask politely for the owner to take the images down (if on a place other than a contest such as the BC). If they refuse you can go ahead a report them. x) BUT You must include your image (the original's URL) with your report form. I usually include the link to the location of the theft (loookup, petpage, ect.) the username and pet name (if occuring on a page/pet lookup).
Sometimes if you mail a thief they won't reply, but will take the art down in fear of being frozen. That's life. You can put the screenie up with the username of the person and other info you'd like to include on a petpage for all to see! =P I would also monitor the thief and another other accounts that you know belong to the theif. If they don't get frozen they usually steal again, so beware! You cannot use a screenie as proof for a theft! TNT isn't even allowed to look at them. If you want TNT to see it my recomendation is to not mail the theif and report straight away.
Q: I repoted my theft, but they haven't been frozen!
Sometimes, for some odd reason, TNT doesn't get a report form and stolen art doesn't get removed from the BC (and sometimes they place). If this has happened, report again with the URL of the stolen image and the URL of the original. TNT can still freeze them even after the BC is over!
A: If the art was stolen in a contest (like the BC or Art Gallery) then the user is frozen immediately! If, on the otherhand, the art was stolen on a userlookup, petpage, shop ect. then that user only gets a warning. The second time the user steals art they will be frozen!
•{Copyright}•
Q: What is copyright?
A: Copyright is the protection of works that you can hear, see, and touch. This can include all artwork that you've done and anything you've written (including HTML!!!). Copyright starts when the work is created and in a concrete form (you can touch it-- i.e. printing it out on paper). If you mail your work to yourself, don't open it then you may register it with US Copyright offence (if you reside in the US that is!). This is they way you can get money if someone steals your work.
Q: Is it OK for me to put the (c) symobol on my artwork and/or at the bottom of my webpage?
A: Putting your name and the copyright symbol is OK to do as long as it's your artwork and you didn't steal it. Although it must be said, TNT doen't like (c) symbols next to your name for the Art Gallery, so just put your username. :)
The Kau slides a photo album bound in some sort of animal skin toward you.
Here are some wonderful pictures of me. she says sarcasticly.
But, remember: This art is not for use of any contests, or may you claim as your own or use without permission.
From newest to oldest.

Oh, perilous place walk backwards toward you
Blink disbelieving eyes, chilled to the bone
Most visibly brave, no apprehended bloom
First to take this foot to virgin snow
I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind
And I live the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to serve, destined to roam
Oh, ominous place spellbound and un-child-proofed
My least favorite shelter bear alone
Compatriots in face they'd cringe if I told you
Our best back pocket secret our bond full blown
And I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind
And I am pioneer naïve enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to seek, destined to know
Most beautiful place reborn and blown off roof
My view about face whether great will be done
And I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind
I am a groundbreaker naïve enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
And I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind
I am a Joan of Arc and smart enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
