Egg Hunt Store
Egg Hunt Store
Okay, here’s the official store for the egg hunt. If you want to know how many points you scored/have remaining after purchasing something, ask! :D
So, without further ado, here’s the store, complete with forms!
~~~
Two points — Playlist/Song Recommendations (Basic – 4 songs)
*Note: my music tastes are generally indie/alternative, so that’s typically the kind of songs you’ll be getting. Also — none of the music I listen to is particularly curse word-heavy, but if you’d really rather not have curse words in your song recommendations, please specify. :)
Four points — Playlist/Song Recommendations (Deluxe – 10 songs)
Same note applies for the basic song recommendations above.
Six points — Sketched Picturing
Form~
Name:
Gender/Pronouns:
Brief Personality:
Appearance:
Pose (optional):
Words in Background (like dialogue, song lyrics, etc.) (optional):
Eight points — Inked Picturing
Same form for Sketched Picturing!
Ten points — Written Picturing
Name:
Gender/Pronouns:
Personality:
Appearance (leave blank for how I imagine you):
Setting (I’m a bit better at settings in nature, but whatever you want!) (optional):
Twelve points — Full Color Picturing
Same form for Sketched Picturing! (Be sure to include colors :))
Twenty points — Short Story (probably more like flash fiction in length)
You give me the prompt and I’ll write a short story based on that! I suppose you could also give me characters to write a short story about. In that case, give me the names, pronouns, appearances, personalities, and relationships between a few of your original characters, as well as a scenario/prompt for a short story featuring them.

Ack, I'm so sorry for the wait! This should not have taken me this long. I hope you like it, though :)
OpalescentDragon~
At the very heart of the forest, where the tree branches tangled overhead and bits of blue sky only shone through in fractured pieces like fragments of stained glass, where the forest floor was soft with pine needles and clumps of moss, a girl knelt, pressing her hands to the ground.
From a distance, she appeared rather out of place in this ancient forest — her black hoodie, jeans, and high top converse seemed far too urban, far too modern — but when one paid attention very closely, one could see that her long sleek black hair was the same color as the ravens that perched in the trees, that the constellation of freckles across her light skin mirrored the same stars the forest slept under, that she spoke the same language as the trees — that language being, of course, magic. The thing that most connected her to the forest, though, was her eyes. They were each an ink blot surrounded by an opalescent swirl, and they held galaxies. And those eyes were the reason she was in the forest today.
Centuries ago, this forest had given her ancestors the power of shapeshifting — whether this was a blessing or a curse, no one could tell. Nevertheless, their power of shapeshifting was held in their eyes, each eye color having a different animal associated with it. The girl had a very unique eye color, so none of her family knew quite what to do with her. Go to the heart of the forest, child. The forest may be able to tell you what we cannot.
So she had gone to the heart of the forest, and she had knelt on the soft ground, and she had pressed her hands to the forest floor, and she had begged the forest to tell her what her opalescent eyes meant. And the forest had answered. The girl felt a surge of magic as a gust of wind sent pine needles and leaves skittering around her. She squeezed her eyes shut as her body tingled with magic—
And when she opened her eyes once more, a girl no longer stood in the forest. A dragon had taken her place, with scales dark as raven wings and those same opalescent eyes. She took only a moment to examine her new form before stretching her wings and launching into the sky.

Oh my goodness, this is gorgeous!! Your writing style is so beautiful and I literally got chills while reading this. Thank you so much!

Might I have the Basic Playlist/Song Recommendations, O Great Egghead? Ones with no curse words, please :)

Thank you so much! I haven't heard any of these before, so I'll be interested to see what they're like!
I think I still have a few points left - could I ask for a sketched picturing for one of my AEs, or do you do them just for CBers? Here's the form (If you're busy or anything, though, you totally don't have to do it, I don't want to put any pressure on you :) ):
Name: Oriole
Gender/Pronouns: She/her, female
Brief Personality: sassy, friendly, risk-taker, charismatic, fun to be with, principled and loyal, witty, very good at letting the future go and intensely enjoying the present, stylish and self-possessed, socially skilled
Appearance: Long, fine brown hair, green-gray eyes, pale-ish complexion \*in what's meant to be a whisper* And also very pretty. You forgot to mention that.\ Okay fine, she's fairly pretty :)
Pose (optional): you choose :)
Words in Background (like dialogue, song lyrics, etc.) (optional): Maybe the lyrics "Shine while you have the chance to shine/laugh even when you wanna cry/and ride" from Martina McBride's song "Ride"
Iffy says "hfpff"! I guess she's trying to say "huff puff". Iffy, have you been doing early morning exercises??
(June 11, 2023 - 8:44 am)
Ack I'm so sorry for neglecting this! I have an asynchronous school day today, so I'll have time to do eveyone's requests! Thank you for your patience~
(June 8, 2023 - 6:48 am)
If I'm not too late, can I spend 4 of my 5 points on a deluxe playlist? :)
(June 16, 2023 - 11:33 pm)
fREAK I just saw your requests now, I'm so sorry!!
@Poinsettia, I'm working on Oriole's picturing!! I'll post it this afternoon or tomorrow :)
@Lupine, here you are!! I hope you enjoy :)

Thank you! I haven't heard any of these songs so this will be exciting :)
(June 27, 2023 - 3:02 pm)
There are a lot of things I'm not entirely happy with -- mainly the writing; I realized too late that the paper I used doesn't support my calligraphy pens or markers, so I had to use pencil. :/ I might redo it later, we'll see.
(June 26, 2023 - 3:31 pm)
Ahhh thank you so much! The calligraphy is beautiful and the variation between calligraphy and ordinary writing actually helps emphasize some of the words :)
\Thank you! It's lovely!\
Btw, I thought I'd mention that I've listened to most of the songs on the playlist I bought and my favorite was the song by the Indigo Girls on the playlist I bought - I really liked it :)
