Giveaway duration:

I started half a day late, so you've got a day of extra time added.

E-mail all entries to thejadefalcongifts@hotmail.co.uk. Remember to include your Steamgifts profile name. The alternative is me crediting you under your real name, and that's not so smart.

Good luck!

Odds of winning were 1 in 14.

Special mentions:

Sickfarts: For giving me a great laugh.

"00:00 AM GMT, 1st January 2012 - 11:59 PM GMT, 19th March 2012" Do you mean 1st March? ;)

That would work best. :D As you can see, it was a copy-paste from the first month. Just be glad I didn't announce the winners!

Thanks for this, Jade. Going to have to think about what I want to do with that kind of keyword :O

Terror is gooood. I love terror. Oh the things I could do...
Thanks for continuing your awesome initiative. Will do my best to make an entry.

Hmm, terror. This is pretty abstract. I shall have to think carefully how to best represent it in a visual medium (yes, I will stubbornly stick to something visual, probably also a 3D render like last time).

As always, thanks a lot for the generosity and for making things that little bit more interesting with the creativity element. :)

I actually considered choosing another word (I already do that if my finger lands on "the" or something just as surreal), but I decided not to in the end. Would people like the ability to reroll the prompt word for future giveaways? Say, five votes and I choose again, and any entries for the first word are still counted?

Nah, it just adds to the challenge if it's a little more awkward to work with. :P

I think if it's really too outrageous you'll probably have re-chosen the word yourself anyway.

Maybe I should add a hard mode one day. "Make a piece of operatic, nonlyrical country rock music that objectively and accurately defines the word "a" and how it relates to the Mariana Trench and win Fortix."

I'm sure the entries would flood in for that one. It would be interesting to see what people come up with at least. :P

I was kind of thinking about either writing a short story, or perhaps making a video of how far I can get through SCP-087-B (I tried before, it's HARD) but I don't know, which would you prefer?

Hmm... nobody's ever asked about a playthrough before. I'm inclined to say no as, unlike with screenshots, no artistic thought has gone into it. Thoughts from others?

Well, to the artistic thought, I'm not AMAZING, but I've voice acted before, so I could easily record and dub over the footage with a rich narrative and the descent into insanity of the dude who goes down all dem steps. But then again, I've not really had a good chance to write a story and a lot more thought would go into THAT. So I suppose, it's up to everybody else.

Okay, that does sound interesting. Would you be willing to make both a normal entry (which would count) and this SCP thing (which would not count as an entry) and I can decide if playthroughs should be allowed in the future?

Comment has been collapsed.

Sure I'd be willing to make both, but then again, I'm not really of age, if you know what I means (I'm nearly 16) and I'm more of a filmmaker and writer than a voice actor, and all of my voices are wacky and crazy, but then again I've never really done a serious machinima, so if you'd be willing to take my voice with a pinch of salt then sure, I've got a brief idea of the story and it should be submitted in the next day or so, and the film will take a little while longer, but sure, I'll get it done ASAP.

Just do your best, that's all anyone can ask. This giveaway isn't meant to reward the best of the best ever, but to challenge you and get you to evolve as an artist in whatever way you choose to be one. Even if you lose, you've still won from an experience perspective. May even enter my own giveaways as well (though obviously not win them).

I'm inclined to agree with a no, unless there is also some decent voice acting with it or something (perhaps akin to Freeman's Mind for example).

I'd prefer being e-mailed links, if you wouldn't mind. That way, no-one sees anyone else's entries and therefore remains "uncontaminated", for lack of a better word. So can you delete and send it to me, please? Link's in the OP.

ahhh i have a question and I dont know if it will be answered, I recently finished the image i was creating for this. (boy did i have fun XD) anyway, during the process I made some iterations on the original idea, now I am down to two. One hilariously funny, (I guess to me anyway cause I'm a total nerd) and one much more serious.

both of them are based on the same image, so would it be possible for me to send both? or should I stick them in a .gif so it counts as one!!!??! Ahh just kidding I wouldn't do that, but seriously I am very torn between the two. what should I do???

Send me both, but mention which is your favourite if you can pick. If they're similar enough, I'll count them as a single entry.

Okay, I should not have to say this.

I do not accept copyrighted material in this contest. This is a contest to be creative. This is not a contest about who can Google "terrorism pictures" and then e-mail it to me. Don't be so stupid. Photoshopping is allowed as long as it substantially changes the original picture and not mildly alters the colour saturation. But bloody hell, people, at least try to hide your laziness if you try to pull this shit.
