Good day, fellow Thedosians!
As many of you may know, there is an informal, annual challenge in the art community around this time of the year called “Inktober.” The goal of this challenge is draw a fully-inked picture every day of October.
After some discussion, the admin have decided to put our own take on this challenge, which we are calling Thedastober. For each day in the month of October, we have provided a prompt to guide your work. However, we don’t want to exclude any medium, so we will be accepting artwork and literature alike.
In addition, we are going to add a little extra incentive to participate by creating a small raffle out of this challenge! For every prompt that you participate in, your name will be added to a pool of names. Therefore, your name could be entered anywhere from 1 to 31 times into the raffle. At the end of the month, we will randomly select three winners, with each winner being assigned to each of the admin for a prize.
*** Note: Be sure to mark your deviations clearly to let us know they're for Thedastober and/or provide a link below. 
***Reminder: We are accepting literature-based entries for our Thedastober event, as well! We don't want any of our fanfiction writers to feel left out!
For anyone that will need extra time to get their entries in, we will be waiting until November 8 to announce our raffle winners. Good luck to all in this final stretch!The Prompts:1. Warden: Show off your Grey Warden!
