Hello everybody!
Way back in the ancient time of 2014 I bought extras of the elemental sprites. I was going through my vault to clear out duplicate familiars and I felt kind of bad looking at them. I know a lot of people really want them and it seems a little sad to just have miine collecting dust.
I don't particularly need money for anything right now, and I would like them to go to someone who would appreciate them. So, I thought it might be fun to hold a little contest.
To be clear, I don't have any extra 2013 sprites, just 2014 ones. That means these 5:
[item=Ice Sprite][item=Shadow Sprite][item=Wind Sprite][item=Water Sprite][item=Nature Sprite]
To enter, just write a little bit about yourself and why you want the sprite. Don't sweat it too much, this is basically a free raffle. I'm going to pick the ones that give me good vibes (my exact criteria is a secret, but pretty generous, so write what you want), and then roll a random number to determine the final winner. Creativity is encouraged but in no way required.
[size=6]TO ENTER[/size]
______________
You may enter for ONE sprite only.
Post your entry here [b]or[/b] DM it. Please do not do both.
If DMing, title the DM "___ Sprite Contest Submission"
If posting, start your submission post with this:
[code][size=7][item=___ Sprite][b]___ Sprite Contest Submission[/b][/size][/code]
(replace both ___ with the sprite name)
Submit a couple paragraphs about why you're entering, 500 words absolute maximum. You can go way under 500 words, this isn't a college essay, I am not grading on word count :P
That's it!
________________
If you're not sure what to write, you can (but don't have to) answer these questions:
[LIST]
[*]Why do you play Flight Rising? What kind of stuff do you do here?
[*]What do you like about the sprite? ("it's rare" is a fine answer, you can be honest)
[*]What dragon are you going to give it to? What do you like about that dragon?
[/LIST]
Again, this is a raffle, not a writing contest. Don't worry about it too much.
[size=5]Winners will be selected on September 15th.[/size][/s]

Hey there! I'm an ice lair and pretty solidly plan on sticking with this flight, so an ice sprite would be super fitting and cool, yknow? I also adore the fluffy tail :D
I'd probably put it on my sona dragon, which... doesn't exist yet... but is a project in progress! To make it feel extra special, yknow. Or maybe on my custom progen, here:

[size=7][item= Wind Sprite][b]Wind Sprite Contest Submission[/b][/size]
Getting any of the sprites always felt very out of reach, so a chance to get one is fun :D I like wind in particular since i am a windy lair, so having a wind sprite around to interact with my dragons would be nice! because of a friend i have been thinking about sprite ocs too and im like..omg this could make it official haha. not sure who i'd give it to, i have lots of wind dragons and lots of green dragons...and i am always getting more of both too, and wanting more green and windy familiars to match with them haha so i guess we'll see what happens c:
anyway thank you for hosting !!

I came to Flight Rising in... uh.... 2014 once I think, but I never really felt connected at the time and literally forgot my old acc and that I even played. It was a big back and forth due to that at one point, but it is resolved :D. So, through Chicken Smoothie and a Discord which I joined I rejoined FR and got a lot more immersed into it now that I am having more time and not a constant headache from schoolwork back then.
I enjoy breeding a lot, I got many projects and strive to create new creations with mostly Imperials (I really love them <3) and to perhaps host lots of giveaways and other nice things to give back the community. That is slowly starting to get up and done, my Giveaway thread open to anyone that wants to join it and I am quite happy with what I am doing. Lair space, though... that is and most likely always will be an issue xD <3
At the moments I am trying to get my own Reps, I got a few scries down and collect what I need and while it goes slow, I think it is interesting to see it all come together over time.
Thanks a lot for hosting and lets hope they all find a nice and loving home <3[/center]

Ive never done this sort of thing before but I thought I would go for it! I chose the Wind Sprite because Wind was my starting flight and I still have a lot of love for it. Wind always seems to give me the prettiest hatchings and best rng too. ^<^(Plus green is my favorite color ^_^)
I joined the site in 2019 so it would be a cool opportunity to get a Sprite [emoji=spiral star size=1]

If I won the Sprite I would put it on my first ever primal, Amazon.
Thanks for holding the raffle ^_^

So, I originally very much found myself overthinking my entry, to the point the entry was pretty rambly and incoherent; I deleted my first draft and here is my try at coherent and to the point:
I started playing FR just a little over a year ago, February I think, and it literally saved my sanity during lock down.
Discovering so many new pretty shiny things, and a bit later on such a vibrant and welcoming community was a true blessing!
I recently started my journey into lore, and while I have been very much intrigued by the sprites before, now I really, really wish I had a Shadow Spirte for Andros, it would be so much fun, integrating this familiar into his backstory :)

[size=4]I would like to join the contest for the nature sprite because I'm currently saving up to get a really big gift for a friend. She means so much to me, and I want her to know that-- she's a nature lair, so I figured getting her a nature sprite would be a great way of showing how much I value her, whilst still staying within my budget.
While I know I'm not exactly an old player, I've spent a good few years on the site now and Flight Rising means a lot to me-- especially in regards to friendship and generosity. I was first introduced by two of my closest friends, and because the community has always felt surprisingly tight-knit and cozy for such a large website-- it's what motivates me to try and extend that same kindness to /my/ friends who I've [s]dragged onto[/s] introduced to FR!

[size=4] I've honestly never done this kind of thing before, but it seems fun so i figured i'd give it a try! While I don't belong to the shadow flight, it was my original flight when I played the game back in 2018!
I have very fond memories of it and it's why I still continue to actively stay on the site to this day! :D
Why I chose the Shadow Sprite? Because it's almost like a symbol of back when I joined in 2018! While I wasn't originally playing all the way back in 2014, I still like how it looks and I'm just a very sentimental person honestly.
I'm not sure what else to say other than, thank you for hosting this little giveaway, and thank the FR community for being so lovely! [/size]
(apologies if this was really brief, i'm just. very anxious when posting on forums hehe)

[indent]If I were able to win this sprite they would be my first sprite here on flight rising. So let me tell u what I'd plan for them if I got them òwó.[/indent]
The sprite I'd pair with a certain dragon that goes on curious adventures. The way I see the nature Sprite is kind of like a will 'o' wisp. Which is in European folklore where they leave wanderers astray during the night. But the sprite will be more light hearted and throughout their adventures will learn that not everything they meet will be so nice. So their character will grow and and change.
The way they would have met would have been that the sprite was in a deep slumber. Though bc of it I haven't decided if i want them to be like a newborn baby in general when first found or if they act like that bc they don't remember things before their sleep. But their found right outside of the dragons old home in a spacious hole within a very large tree like the others in the surrounding area and set out for adventure.
And to clarify the sprite acts as a friend/guide on these adventures learning together. This is and I think I might imagine the dragon being a pastel Skydancer maybe. Not to sure yet, but theyd be a purplish color.
Maybe this kiddo of mine but I'm not to sure yet
