Here is a list of some future contests will have if the 1st one ever catches on.... if not maybe I'll just make them activities... sigh
1. Love letter to Carrion
2. Fan Art - Draw a picture of a child if its parents were Candy and Malingo
3. Make a new head for the John Brothers
4. Make an Abarat avatar
5. Write a poem about your favorite Abaratian island
haha just some weird ones I was thinking of.
Is anyone actually interested in these contests or should I just give up on it.

Oh, man, awesome contest ideas!! I think there should be fanfic contests, too, just because I can't draw for beans, so fanart doesn't apply to me  |

I was thinking that too - adding a fan fic sort of thing. I had an idea of maybe like a fanfic on a childhood memory of Carrion about his grandmother Mater Motley. If I do a fanart one I'm not necessarily looking to judge your great artistic skills but the imagination, the creative process behind it. I can't draw either so I know how that goes |

Well then, I might even give the fanart ones a shot then  I wish this one friend of mine still had her computer. I would recruit her. She drew absolutely gorgeous Abarat fanart. |

A fanfic contest would be wonderful! Maybe a romantic one? *nudge nudge* |

I second the idea that there should be a romantic fanfic challenge! I'd be willing to write even the strangest pairing |

Pst! Can a participant use an original character? Or must he or she pair two which already exists in the story?  |

I'd probably have it so you must use 1 from the book. We have time to work out the details though. Still waiting for more people to hopefully enter the first contest |

I'll join the contests, sounds like fun! Is the love letter to Carrion from us, or an Abarat character? Would be funny/weird to see one written by Malingo.... or the Johns... or pretty much anyone really.

Redstocking I think for that I'd have it be your own personal choice whether it be from yourself, one of the characters from the books or just a random character you make up yourself. Either way I"m sure the final product will be an enjoyable read.

Can we have some sort of, what if contest? Such as, what if Carrion's family hadn't died... what would be be doing now? Clearly he wouldnt be Lord of Midnight... would he have a career??

Lol, a career. I wonder...
Speaking of wondering, can I post some contests too? My brother helped me come up with some ideas I'd like to do.

What sort of ideas do you have Caitycat?

The first one was "What Lies Beyond The Islands?" The abyss? Water? Flying jellyfish? The most creative entry wins. Deadline maybe... Nov. 1 or 8.
The second one is "Abarat Holiday." What holiday is it? Where does it come from? What's the story behind it? What traditions does it entail? (Ex: gifts on Christmas.) Who takes part? One option: write a story about the major characters celebrating the holiday. (Secret Santa!)
I had something about a song idea, but I forgot it. So, basically, that's it. What do ya'll think?

wow, those ideas are great, I've always wondered what lies past the abarat, maybe just other portals into our world? well in the book it syas chickentown was the largest port to serve the Abarat, so maybe there are other worlds?
