Don’t miss your chance to own a Togainu no Chi plushie (guess who?) and other BL goodies!
Last day of submission: 17 April 2011. (extended by request end of 30 April 2011)
Prizes include: Original figurine, plushie, artbook and other BL goodies from Nitro+Chiral, Junjou Romantica, Kuroshitsuji, etc.
Submit your entries today (^-^)/
Sneak peak of some of the entries I received :D Viewers choice poll will be open for voting after all entries have been submitted!
General guidelines:
- The illustration should have a “LalaParadise” theme. Based on your interpretation of the word :) Please feel free to let your imagination fly!
- Original male characters allowed but the illustration must also have at least -one- other existing male character, from any anime, manga, games, drama cd, etc, I’ve written about at my blog.
- If you have an original character, please give a short introduction of who he is when you send in your entry.
- If you’re thinking of drawing pairings or multiple characters, it can be any combination of characters BL or non-BL. Cross-overs are ok too.
- The characters don’t necessarily have to be love-love mode. Crack and comedy is ok. Simply posing is fine as well.
- Coloured entries preferred but B/W ok too
- NO 18+ entries this time round. Maybe next time :P
- Multiple entries allowed. But they must be visually different from one another in terms of layout, etc.
- I’ll collect all the entries then post them up for voting. Ponytale’s Top 3 picks + Viewer’s Choice Award.
- I may add more prizes based on the number of entries I receive :D
- Each illustration will be credited and linked back to your blog and/or url of your choice.
Technical specs:
- The illustration should be at least 2480 x 3508 (vertical or horizontal), about A4 size so that it is big enough for me to make them into wallpapers.
- If you’re drawing on paper, please scan the picture at 300 dpi.
- Drawing and/colouring with software like Adobe Photoshop and/or traditional media like pencil/pen are all ok.
- Please save the final file as a TIF file and zip it up.

- Please also feel free to send me your questions about the contest if you have any.

Old update: March 2011
My birthday is coming up in May (Oh no! Another year older! OTL;;; Lol~)
I’m thinking of doing some contests and games with prizes to giveaway at Ponytale in LalaParadise to thank you guys for the company over the past few years! ^^
My brain juice is running low from the recent overload of work, so I would like to get some ideas for this little event and hope you guys can help!
Some requirements:
- The contest(s) or game(s) would start from the beginning of April till May.
- Preferably it’s something that everybody can participate.
- Relatively easy for me to setup, moderate and administer at the blog.
- Interactive and fun.
Although I may not be able to provide very big prizes cos I’m sponsoring this from my own pocket after all OTL;; I would also like to get an idea of what prizes to prepare, so I would also like you guys to:
- List your
Top 3Top 10 fav works (can be BL/non-BL anime, games, Drama CD etc.) - List your
Top 3Top 10 fav male characters of all time.
My plan/schedule:
- I’ll be collecting suggestions from today till 19 March 2011.
- After that, I’ll setup a poll for you guys to vote for the contest that you prefer.
- Finally, I will announce the number and type of prizes given after we decide on what type of game(s) we’ll be playing.
- Please don’t be shy with your ideas, okie? Cos if there’s not much interest, then I guess I’ll probably have to scrape the idea OTL;;
Please write your suggestions and ideas in the comments! I’m looking forward to them! (^_^)/

As always, deadline ended and me not having enough time to finish it TAT
Well, I wish people a lot of luck!! <3
I just realized too that the recent posts are already labelled as May 1! I made the mistake of assuming midnight Pacific time as well so I thought I still had a few hours. ;;; it’s too late then?
@riya: just try to send in if you’re done. Good luck! :D
Yay, I finally finished it and just sent mine in, hope you got my mail (and I hope I did everything right with the technical specs ahaha!
Hope you received my entry, and hopefully I filed it correctly! This contest was a lot of fun, thank you! >w<
I have a question!~
It’s still April 30th over here for another 12 hours, can I submit my work before midnight Pacific time? I wasn’t sure which “midnight” you were counting by!
@Bell thanks for asking! Please submit it :) I’ll definitely include it since you’ve mentioned it. Good luck and looking forward to your entry!
Currently uploading :D Email will be there in 15 mins or sth.
I’m happy that Photoshop did not completely crash, otherwise I wouldn’t have made it.

Thanks for the extension, I love you for that! I’m working on mine right now, expect it to be sent to your email within the next few hours :3
I hope you have received my entry~ :D
And if lets say you think my artwork makes no sense, pls inform me so that I can email you the details or sth. Cause I am afraid that my description in the email is too short to make sense… lol.
But truth is, halfway while drawing, I actually went, “Now, what does this has got to do with the theme…”
Ahh, I fail real bad. x.x;;
Hopefully you have received many entries~ I am looking forward to seeing the others’ artworks and their idea on the theme! ^^
I… somehow managed to make an entry…. please let me know if the file is corrupted or something. OMG I want to eat those plushies and figurines QwQ
@pinkstripedmelon: I received your entry! Thanks for taking part :D
@pinkstripedmellon, Lurker, piccu, Sug, Lexie, Bell, riya
Sorry for the late comment reply but I’ve sent you guys an email earlier on ^^ Anyway :D Thanks for the entries again! The voting page is up here! in case you missed it.
uhmm… I have a question… Will I be disqualified if I my drawing doesnt seem to make sense to you? Cause the theme is ‘LalaParadise’, right? i was afraid that it doesnt seem ‘LalaParadise’ to you or sth… ><;;
On a side note, I am in the process of -destroying- coloring my art so I can send it to you by this evening! ^^ Hope I am not late at all. ): And If things come to worse, I have no choice but to submit a black and white drawing. ;^;
Thanks for the contest in advance, btw~ and for extending the deadline! ^^
@Lurker: you can describe your idea to me if you think the artwork does not show the theme obviously :)
Looking forward to receiving your entry!
Uuwaah, I’m working hard on my entry! I hope I make the deadline! x3x;
@Lexie: ganbatte! I’m looking forward to receiving it!
I’m working on the coloration..but my Photoshop likes to crash suddenly, so I have to re-draw stuff D: I hope I can get it done on time!
@Sug: Be good Photoshop! Good luck Sug XDD
Yeshhh I managed to get it done! XD
@sairu9: Thanks for the entry!XD
Hmnnn, very tempted to join the contest, but there’s only a few days left 0A0 and I draw super slow……. I shall try to draw something and hope I manage to get it done by the 30th XD
@sairu9: please try if you can X3
/sob
My last day vacation today and I’m still finishing comissions, tsh ; h ;
@Oru *pat pat* hang in there! :3 thinking positively you’re enjoying what you’re doing right?
I’d really love to participate but I have exams on the 29th April OTL
If can manage to draw something and send it in by 30th April at midnight, would it still count? asdfghjklasdfg <3
@piccu: Gosh… reminds me of the depressing time when I had exams… cos they always happen during my birthday OTL..
Don’t worry! I’ll hold out for your entry since you asked X3 Please send it in! :D
sadly I just saw this D8!
I dunno what to give you but oh well 8D! I will just mush all the random BL guys in one picture I hope you don’t mind & then send it to you.
@k.k: lol there is a lalaparadise theme involved so pls try if you can :) and give me an awesome present of bishis :D looking forward to it!
I’m a longtime lurker that decided to come out of hiding to say thanks for the extension! Your blog really inspired me (to get an ever growing miniature army of nitro+ chiral and) to collect figures/plushies. XD Since I’ve become so reliant on your blog for new merchandise/game updates, I hope I can draw something nice for your birthday! It’s definitely nice to have the extra time~ thanks! ^^
@riya: thanks for your sweet comments! I’m glad you found my blog useful! I’m looking forward to receiving your artwork! :D
uwahhh….you extended the deadline again…. hahaha i can finally relax a bit :D
@Nicky glad that helped! Lol and yes I’ve received your entry! Thanks for that! :D
Ooh, sounds interesting. I just stumbled upon this contest today, but I’ll see if I can draw something up by the deadline ^^.
@Felioro: Thanks for dropping by! :D Looking forward to your entry!
I’ll try to participate too ;A; Although my drawings are not that good, unfortunately.
@Sug: Give it your best shot! I’m looking forward to receiving to! :D
I’m so happy you extended the deadline date. I hope i can draw up some nice things for contest!;v;
Hope your inbox gets loaded with lots of yummy entries!
@sigma: That’s great XD I’m hoping to see yours too <3
Aw, I’m sorry to say I can’t enter the contest, Pony :( Currently right now, I have too much homework to work on something else, and next to that… x___x I REALLY can’t draw to safe my life… Plus, I’m in Berlin at the time of the deadline~ Berlinnnnn <3 I can't wait to go! *w*
Good luck on all the other contestants, though :) I hope many people enter!
@imacatlover: aww :-\ but hand-drawn illustrations seem to be so much more popular. I was a little surprised that figurine related contest topics didn’t get as many votes.
Anyway, I’m glad you’re going to be enjoying yourself tho! Hang in there and the homework deadlines will be over soon! XD Thanks and I hope to get many entries too!
Ponytale i want to ask you something. so if i want i can send 2 illustrations right? also when you mean the size 2480 x 3508 is it the size of the picture? Just one more thing i know this is a kinda dumb question but we scan the drawing right? okay thank you
Oohh~ I wanna join! (although I cant draw, especially characters from other artists as I am more comfortable with drawig my own. Nor can I color, nor do I have any software to help me color the images.)
So, I hope you wont mind a boring, black and white artwork!! lol. Cause I think it would be fun and a challenge! ^w^
……… Is what I want say, but, just notice the deadline and I dont think I can get to the deadline in time. x.x I will be busy for the next few days, maybe a week or more. ): no chance of pushing it back until… end of this month? or maybe until 24 April, please?
It is alright if you cant though~ :3 Since it wont be fair if you were to push the deadline back just because I requested it. lol. XDD
And, is the size 2480 x 3508 refering to the paper we are drawing on? I am really a noob (and dont seem to understand) about the technical specs number 01 and 02 u mentioned. lol.
and all the best to all who are entering~ <3
Back again, after lurking for a while :/
So…. is A4 format paper good? I don’t know the exact measurements of it….
A3 won’t fit in my scanner….
Even though my art still is bad, it’s been improving lately. So I’ll give it a shot!
Great contest ^^ I think I’ll try tod o something
I just have a question : when you say “hand drawn”, are we allowed to draw on a software like Photoshop ? Or do you prefer something very… traditionnal like a drawing with pens and pencils ?
[my apologize for my english, I’m french but I try to do my best !]
@Mikado: Yep, you can draw on Photoshop!
@Nipah-Nyaa: Yep A4 is fine.
@Lurker: Ok I’ll extend the deadline. A4 size is fine.
@MisakixUsami: Yep that’s the size of the picture. About A4 size. If you’re drawing on paper, please scan it.
Sounds like a fun!!! I wish I could enter! I cannot draw. Unless you want a bunch stick people. LOL!!
@TasukiHoneyBunny: Please try! You never know X3
Ooh, cool. I’m not too good at drawing but since I’ll be on vacations, I’ll give it a try just for the fun of making the contest more competitive.
That and I love painting, so it’ll be amusing.
Hope plenty of people give this contest some love and life : D
@Oru: Give it a try :D I hope many people join the contest too! Enjoy your vacation! XD
uwahhhhh!!! so tempted to do this >.<
forget IB!! BL is more important….

Well, I voted for various things, like the quiz or contributions involving photos, because those are “easier” for more people than for example illustrations or fanfics (not everybody can draw or write well, but it’s not so difficult to take some photos and manipulate them or to answer questions).

Haaa… ;~; I kinda hope this contest will not be about drawing or writing. I’m really bad at those subjects.
How are you doing anyway, Pony? :3 I haven’t been online much lately, cause homework keeps flooting in, and has been greatly eating my free time. Gosh, missed so many posts about things, like the Togainu artbooks DX;; So tempting, but ah, I’m not sure if I want to order something so soon from Japan right now… The situation they have there is just so horrible ;__; I hope people from the Nitro+Chiral staff are OK too. It’s situations like these that make you realise how much you are connected to Japan. It’s scary, but luckily, a lot of people and places I know seemed out of harms way. Just like the Tokyobuyers! So glad they were unharmed! ;w; I mailed them as fast as I could! Now lets hope things will get better for Japan…
@imacatlover: Thanks for voting sweetheart! I’m glad you popped by XD
Yeah, can’t avoid certain things in real life lol~ I’m busy with work too and can hardly update nowadays :( Take care with school! I need more energy, so tired after work =_=;; I have quite a number backlogged drama cds and figure reviews that I’ve been meaning to shoot and write about! (T_T) I don’t want to do slipshod posts so I kept delaying them. SIGH.
I’ve ordered both N+C artbooks. Hopefully I can find the time to write about them when they arrive :3 Very excited to see the content. Well, I’ll still order things from Japan cos in a way we’re helping to support the economy too. Besides donating directly, many online stores like CDJapan, playasia, HLJ etc are also donating proceeds from our orders, and I think every little contribution helps. There may be delays but I’m fine with that and I’m sure shipping them shouldn’t affect the distribution of help and resources to the disaster areas.
I hope Japan will recover soon and that there will be no more casualties.
Voted. :p I prefer a BL Character Cosplay Contest though. That will be more fun.
@Jes: That’s a great idea :3 I’ve updated the poll.
Let me give you my chara list revisited:
Akira (Togainu no Chi)
Asami Ryuichi (Viewfinder)

I’ve been a lurker fir quite sometime and I think it’s a lovely idea to celebrate your birthday with a contest. A Caption Contest would be pretty fun, I think. E.g, you provide us a sequence of photos like in Day in the life of Kyon 1 and the blog readers have to insert the dialogue.

The one thing that I *think I* am good at is writing (although I have horrible grammar), so maybe a fanfic competition as well? and with different genres or maybe prompts? lol. and it is ur bday so it should be u receiving presents. ;)
other ideas are good as well so it is your choice. (: But I cant draw. hehee~
I am looking forward to this contest! (and I would love to have any Yuri Lowell or TnC/Lamento prizes. :P )
Thanks for all your suggestions! Please keep them coming! And also, don’t forget to write down your Top 10s (yep… I’ve decided to extend Top 3 to Top 10 lol~) :P
Hi there! :) well… um.. i was thinking maybe the contest should be a manga contest (or comic strip contest) there’s alot of talented people here. We could draw mini mangas about our favorite bishonens talking or going to school together, u know. Thou some people say they don’t know how to draw, so maybe they could do comic strips with their figures. Something that would be suuper adorable is baking cakes with our favorite characters on them! We could also do a cosplay contest. It’s your decision :) I hope you have a wonderful Birthday with all your bishies!
Ohhh! My B-day is in May too! (May 12)
Let’s see… I have a brain bleach with ideas for contests, but I guess a little story about how you got to like BL/fujoshi stories. I have many of these XD.
Favourite characters/series! That’s hard, I have many…
Hi, pony!
What a greeeeat idea! And my bday (and imacatlover’s) is also in May! And probably more readers too XD!
But hey, you as the bday person should win gifts first! =D
Only 3 faves??? So hard!!! Okay, here comes my list:
1. Junjou Romantica
2. Ouran Host Club
3. Hetalia
Fav Characters:
1. Takahashi Misaki (Junjou Romantica)
2. Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji)
3. Asami (Viewfinder)
(Hey, but my dear Hakuouki, Togainu no Chi, Lamento, Sengoku Basara, Starry Sky, Prince of Tennis, Crimson Spell, Gravitation, UraBoku, Code Geass, Gundam etc etc boys? Where are they? XDDDD )
Ideas? Hmm littlemonster idea is very nice, but it’d be a bit difficult to me – I don’t draw well and don’t have a proper cam, all my photos are from mobile and it decreases the quality and even visibility of details. But surely would bring us funny and cute and smexy eyecandy pics! =3 It could be like photoshop/vector work, compositions with real and fake pics, hand drawing, animations, videos etc with a specific theme you’d determine (to avoid people use already done material from other authors).
A quiz is good too, not only the type of guess the answer – cos today it’s easy google everything, and the first right answer type is unfair to people at different timezones, work and study times etc. Maybe you can ask something and people have to give you a little story, like a fic or a short phrase that’d be judged by originality, being funny, steamy etc. Just let people use freely their imagination!
I prefer those kind of interactive and creative contests than those horrible win-by-tiredness, find a lil spot in a site and you have to search thousand pages and still be fast, what a pain! XDD
why don’t write a BL story…? but i know that’s too common and people can just copy from other websites. hmm, comic strip maybe? or illustrations? this is my first time giving opinions for blog contests, sorry if my ideas are too…plain. wish you all the luck in the world though.
waah I hope this time my comment appears here x_x everytime i comment it doesn’t!! ;_; so… yey birthday XD ehehehe well I’m not good with ideas, so the most I can help is to at least wish you good luck XD
hahahaha
and also answer the lists >..<' or still.. Durarara XD maybe Koisuru Boukun? ok I'll stop XD
List your Top 3 fav male characters of all time.
Atobe Keigo ~ <3
Akihito Takaba (or Asami Ryuichi? XD)
OMG Sorry I can't decide for the third…
omg I just noticed I was of no help T.T XDDD
just hope you can get better answers LOL and decide a great idea for the contest ^__^/
Hmmm, maybe a comic contest? :3
People could do hand drawn, or use photos of merch (like you and iamcatlover do), and there could be different categories if you want to do different prizes (like comedy, drama, smexy, etc)
I dunno, just a thought, I’m not really sure what people do for blog contests!
