[Vanya]

Wow! Has it been a year already? Well, guys and gals, welcome to the second annual Halloween sprite contest!! I can't wait to see what our spriters can come up with this year! So get to it!! ^_^

*Some of you may notice that the contest is starting and ending a bit early this year. The reasons behind this are 1)This is when it popped into my head. 2)There are a lot of projects going on and most sprites are already involved in them the various degrees. 3)October 31st it my wedding day and I'll be indisposed on Halloween and the following week I'll be at Epcot Center for my honeymoon at the Food and Wine Festival.*
