Body Swap Contest

The Body Swap Contest is a Pokeumans contest event that started on July, 7th, 2013 and ended on August 27th.

The Rules and Premise
One of your characters and a different character somewhere else (i.e. not in the same general area) have somehow ended up switching bodies with one another. How are they going to explain this to their friends? Are they going to try and keep it secret? And more importantly, '''how are they going to get back into their own body? '''

The objective of the entrants is to write a story (it can be a collab IF you want to do it) describing this situation from both character's perspectives, or – if you’re doing a collab but each of you are entering separately – from your character’s perspective with a link to your collab partner's entry in the description.

Entrants must also follow these rules:
 * If they're not entering as a collab, they can either use all of their own characters, or they can borrow a character from the donation journal here: fav.me/d6a35fe
 * Decide how thay want there character’s bodies to be swapped.
 * NO COMIC ENTRIES!!!  It all entries must be in the form of a literature deviation, the reason for this being that the group admins could not come up with a reasonable way to judge both types.
 * Entrants get to decide whether the body swap is canon or not, but they have to make sure it’s okay with their collab partner and/or the owner of a character they're using from the donation journal. Also, if their entry is canon, they must also make sure make sure no one else is using that character AND making their entry canon to avoid continuity issues.

As per the normal contest rules, judges can not enter the contest themselves. The judges were asked to explain why they voted for who they did to help deter any favoritism.

Trivia
-This contest is the first and currently only contest to ever set up a Character Donation journal so that members could do collabs without actually collaborating, as they can just borrow characters from the Character Donation journal. However none of the entries ended up using borrowing characters from this journal.

-This is the first successful contest hosted since the new admins were elected.

-While this contest was going to be judged in the same way as past contests, It is the first one to ask the judges to also explain their reasons for why they think their picks deserve to win instead of just voting.

-This is the first contest to use a winners package from another group.

-This is the 1st contest to give all the entrants entry's a score as well as offering them a review of there entry if they ask the admins for 1

-The long delay in getting the results out was due to some of the judges not sending in there results. Fuere contests will have the judges given a deadline to send there results in by. Any judge not sending in there results by that time will have there status as judges revoked and possibly given to a backup judge if needed.

-The caricter "Porygon Unit EX-104 (Angella Bach) The Corrupt Porygon" donated by Pfaccioxx was invented just for the Character Donation of this contest. Even thoth the caricter was never used for the contest Pfaccioxx still plans to use the caricter in 2 Ch's of his upcoming "Pokeumans LM Chronicles" series.
