While I want to keep my other contest entry a surprise, I don't mind sharing my poetry entry. A little long, but I tried to make it funny and worth a read.

Mayor Pays Big Bucks, Only to Have His Fair Experience Suck

Isabelle, what do you mean I cannot place the public work project there?
I’m just trying to get things set up for the fair.
I created a fund where villagers could donate even a single bell,
Two weeks later it’s still empty and I’m mad as hell.
In the end I had to pay for everything myself,
Selling all of my fanfictions from my special shelf.

At last the festivities are about to begin,
All of the villagers are enjoying the food I paid for with an evil grin.
Crazy Redd is in his stand selling his bootleg toys,
He probably stole them from little girls and boys.
Meanwhile Tom Nook drank one too many,
He ripped one so bad that it could be smelled by plenty.
Quickly Tom Nook placed the blame on me,
Soon everyone glared and I had to flee.

Later on when I was walking around town,
I noticed my flowers were trampled down.
That’s when I thought to myself, “Oh great…”
I had left open my town gate.
I shrugged it off and walked back to the fair alone,
Saying to myself, “Eh, I have the beauty ordinance so the flowers will grow back on their own.”

By the time I got back to the fair,
K.K. Slider was singing while Diva was laying seductively with a stare.
I gagged trying to avert my eyes,
Only to see Tortimer’s butt caught between two pies.

At last the events were coming to a close,
I just wanted to sleep on my ice bed and doze.
Suddenly my game crashed and I had to re-enter,
Resetti was waiting for me saying I should have known better.
That was when I noticed I didn’t save my game,
I would have to endure those awful events once more and take Toom Nook’s fart blame.

I honestly can't decide which picture to use for my design a town. I know we're all technically competing against each other, but I'd really appreciate some advice.

I like either the 2nd or third (not the 1st because it's kind of unsettling that the firework is fading) the 2nd one gives a more festive look and the 3rd is more serene and elegant. I would choose the 3rd one but go with the one you think better captures the essence of your town

This actually took a hella long time and it still turned out crappy lmao
The signature was supposed to be a gif but then I screwed up the sizes and didn't feel like starting over sO here's the final product for the avatar / signature contest.
I feel like I shouldn't have made the villagers fade, but idk. c:

I also joined the character / interior design contest, and I'm pretty content with my entry.

Leigha the Uchi Pegasus: Leigha is going to be designed like the horses, but will have wings on her back, and her mane will cover one eye. Her body color is a dark purple and her mane / tail / eyelashes / hooves are gold. Her eyes are a bright blue. She shows up originally in the Nebula Tank.

Lantern flies fly by.

yay hello here's Lottie with cute wands!!

Prologue. The Magician by the Ticket Booth
A fair up the hill did the little one go
At bay was the dusk and aligned were the stars
And by the booth her tiny toes tipped
As she said, ?One ticket please,
To the fair of my dreams!?

Beam did the magician, ticket now in hand
Saying to the little lass,
?Here it is, and here?s something magical, too!?
Handing her a wand of sheer yellow brightness?
A wand of stars to guide her through the summer night.


Act 1. The Carousel Ride
She waved her wand in amuse and delight
But was it her, or did the fair come to life?
The carousel neighed and beckoned her to ride;
?Wonder awaits, come play with us tonight!?


That all I've written so far, I haven't come up with better words yet and I'm not sure if I should make them rhyme or stick to free verse ; o; Also I'm planning to do a poetic sequence, it's something like maybe 5 poems merged into one huge one ; v; (hence the prologue/act 1 titles)



These are presh! I luv them!!!
 
Summer Stars are Always Bright,
Always Gleaming in the night,
Fireflies are here and there,
The Night Surrounds us Everywhere,
Whenever you are out at night,
There is always a feeling of delight,
Whenever you share it with all of your friends,
The time always doesn't come to a end
 
Here is my villager creation contest entry. It was the first contest I entered and I submitted it since the beginning of the fair, but it's time to share my entry here after eight days.

I haven't entered this yet because I think it needs a hell of a lot more work, but what do you guys think of it so far? I think I may just restart the whole thing, because I don't think I matched it up well enough with the objective and it's kinda everywhere. But idkkk

?I?m scared
We?re going to die up here
Please, get me down,?
The girl cried into his arms.
?We?re not going to die,
We?ll be okay,?
He said, cradling her

There were people
Screaming,
Yelling,
Struggling
As the workers tried
To make it work

?Hear me,?
He lifted her head,
Making her look him in the eyes,
?I promise.?

Her teary eyes began to clear,
Knowing he was there.
The comfort he gave her,
The safety she felt

A worker shouted
Yet it sounded like mumbling
What did he say?
Is it fixed?

The crisp air of the night
Was invaded by dread,
And unanswered questions.

The two were stuck at the very top,
Staring into the view,
A beautiful ugly,
A dreadful paradise.

Lights began to turn on
As the sun set
And even though she was terrified,
The sights were to die for.
?The fair looks amazing
All lit up like this!?
She told him in awe,
Forgetting the temporary scare

?Beautiful, huh??
He laughed,
?Almost as beautiful as you,?

And just like that,
The wheel began to move again,
Lowering them down...

Down?

Down?

Copying the movies,
Proving all the cliches,
The boy leaned in
And touched their lips ever so gently.

Finally, they were on the ground
Where they shared their very first
?I love you.?
?I love you too.?
