So after a lot of deliberation and consultation I've picked 8 contestants:
1. Mr Guy - Nempelio Poran kala-Sun - (#00C957)
2. Ixcaliber - Vera Hawthorne/Alice Mason - (Red/Blue on Lavender)
3. Pinary - Olivia Reindana - (#008000)
4. ch00_bakka - Fiorella Gucci - (#FF88FF)
5. Aryogaton - Malus mancinella - (Italic #118833)
6. Jacquerel - Alluvion - (Bold Royal Blue)
7. engineclock - Adelaide Margaret Sheats - (#77978A)
8. A Killer Cuppa Tea - Taelia Omanguard/The Omen - (Red/Red on Black)
You guys will get to start round 1 once I get the intro post up either today or early tomorrow.
All of the entries though, were fantastic. We'd have a great grand battle from any combination of those authors. The combination I picked isn't necessarily the best (though I am really excited about it). In a lot of cases, it was just little things that had me choose one character over another. If you want to know why I didn't pick your character PM me or ask here, I'd be more than willing to let you know.
Overall though, I tried to pick a good spread of post quality with a focus on newcomers and characters that should interact well. If you didn't get in, remember that there is Pinary's villian battle coming up as well as Grand Battle Season 4. Or, if you'd rather focus on another character later - message me and I'd be happy to have your character appear in WR at some point. Of course, you would do the writing for them if you wanted to.
Keep an eye out for that actually. There may be lots of segments of this battle that aren't written by me or any contestants - it's a bit of a mystery to me right now as well.
Anyway, It will take me a bit to get the first round up and running (I expect late tonight/early tomorrow). In the meantime, feel free to read over the character entries, check out some other collabs, or maybe re-read an old classic?
Edit: I added a little thing to the rule list. Once the battle gets on it's way, try to keep non-story related posts in spoilers. That's already a general rule for grand battles but I figure I'd mention it anyway.
