Young Writers Society

Hello everyone! Welcome to the third event in our YWS Birthday Week!

For this event, we will be having a scavenger hunt that will be lasting the entire day, from now until . During this time, I will be randomly hiding these pawprints around the site:



They will be located at the bottom first post of pinned threads around the site. They will only be in the opening post of each thread. So if it's not in the first post, at the very bottom, then you know that thread isn't the right one... yet. You'll have to come back later to check again.

Here's all the information you need to know:

1. I'll be hiding 25 pawprints around the site, in various pinned threads.

2. The pawprints will only be in the opening post of these pinned threads. These pinned threads may or may not be in archived forums, so be alert...

3. You will know it's a pinned thread if the icon located to the left of the title is a light bulb when viewing a forum.
3a. Pinned threads includes global announcements.

4. I will be randomly coming back every few hours to hide new pawprints around the site.
4a. I will let you know in this thread once I've added new ones, but I won't say how many, so be sure to check back. I suggest subscribing to the thread so you know once I post.
4b. I will say when I have added the last round of pawprints, so you will have time to send me your PM, but it may be riiiight at the end of the event (or close to the end). I'll keep you guessing

5. The event ends exactly at the time listed above. If I don't have your PM by then, then it will not count.

6. All entries must be PMed. All PMs must include links to each thread. You absolutely may not like or bump any pinned threads with the pawprint inside of it. Do not post the link publicly or you'll be disqualified.

7. There will be some fake pawprints floating around that will have a noticeably different blue color. Be careful and pay attention. Constant vigilance!

8. Let me know if you have any questions!

All participants will get a badge, and the winner will get a... wait for it... 3500 point reward! even if you can't make it until the end, send me a PM with what you have, because you never know. People might not make it in time and you might win but at least I'll know you participated!


Good luck everyone! I have already hidden three pawprints around the site in pinned threads. Have fun <3

More have been hidden around the site!

Added some more... and a fake. Beware!

More have been hidden! We’re halfway through, to give you a hint

All have been hidden! You have one hour to send me your PMs! Good luck!

This event is closed. I’ll be checking PMs later when I get home. Thanks everyone!! Good luck!

;-; I am a fail and I ruined the event. I miscounted and only hid 24 when I meant to hide 25. OOPS. Sorry y'all </3

Anyways, I hope you all had fun! Let me know if you'd like to see this event occur again in the future! Thanks to @alliyah @Steggy @Mea and @ladylizz for participating! @TheBlueCat is our winner because they were the first to find all 25 darn it 24 pawprints!

The prints will be removed right now, but that's where they were. Thanks again, everyone! ♥

YES I DID GET ALL OF THEM! And congrats to @TheBlueCat!

It was definitely a fun event! Waaaay easier than @Rydia's scavenger hunts, though, but maybe that's a good thing. xD You didn't even hide any in the old Literary forums. (I actually did look...) I feel like we would have had more participants if it was up longer, but really it's not hard enough to need a longer time limit - it's just a matter of being free at the time to do it.

WHAT!?! I actually won? OMG And I didn't miss one either! Well, that was super fun anyways! But I'm glad I wasn't the only one participating! xD

Congratulations @TheBlueCat !

And thanks for running the scavenger hunt Iggy! - I enjoyed looking around all the forum threads that I sometimes forget about.
