Step right up, step right up! That's right folks, it's time for the Pan-Eolande Snail Racing Championship. The race is just days away, but it's not to late for a chance to beat the seven-year champion Kip Lightning and his daring mount Darley, the fastest snail in Eolande (and beyond.) Participating in the race is easy! Just submit art or photography of your characters racing for the Winner's Cup in the upcoming snail-race photostory thread. The race will start *Saturday 11/22 and run for two weeks, until December 4th.

Will this be the end of Kip's legacy? Will he finally be ousted from his position of glory?! Will he just get mad, blame Micah for his failure, and sign up to race next year?

More details coming Thursday evening!


Questions and Answers:

Anybody and every size can participate on any type of mount preferred. Consider any non-tiny shrunken by Foster because it's no fun to be exclusive.

Enter as many times as you like with as many characters as you like.

Participation can be in photography or artwork. That option is for folks who like to draw and don't have or want to make props. In fact I'll probably do a doodle too!

* I had to move my start date to Saturday. No babysitter on Thursday means no photostory. Wah!

Now I have to find Richi a racing snail.

I have a racing snail or two. I have would-be jockeys. I just need to make them saddle and bridle!

I had a pet snail when I was little! I don't think I actually have a snail the dolls can ride. I may have to see if I can get one. Do the jockeys have to be fox sprites? Or can any tiny participate?

I updated the entry with some more information so that answered questions won't be mixed in a thread.

Just a question for clarification. It says 'any mount of your choosing'... so I'm interpreting that to mean it doesn't have to be a snail? Like other plushie mounts are acceptable?

I've been wondering, are their snails on steroids or something? Because how exactly does a snail take on a dragon in a race? Based on standard mythological typing a dragon should be able to complete the racecourse an infinite number of times before the snail even reaches the first mile marker.

Badi Al-Zaman is willing try the course on a snail, but if they are some sort of enchanted breed he wants some foreknowledge so he can prepare (to cheat).

Any mount is welcome to join and race against the snails of Eolande. One can ride snails, dragons, ducks with cowboy hats (ha), rabbits, lizards, and even horses, although Eolanders would laugh at the idea of riding something as slow and funny looking as a horse when one could choose the luxurious comfort of a Fantasian racing snail. It's the magical land of Eolande where size doesn't matter and snails are the fastest mounts available. The secret is in the slime. It's like riding a hovercraft!

Hmmm, can Kenzie (PKF Mio) ride in a red wagon being pulled by a fluffy dog?
