A Felvargs Passage of Courtship is a set of two trials that a Felvarg must complete in order to participating in breeding. Until a Felvarg's PoC's are completed the Felvarg cannot breed nor give away slots to other players, however the Felvarg can still do other activities within the group. Please read through the journal carefully and if you have any questions comment below.
Members must have the provided form present in each applicable PoC/Hierarchy Update image in order for the images to qualify.
Note: It is against group rules to sell/trade/or write a slot to a Felvarg that does not have it's Passage of Courtship.
Please copy and paste, then fill out the form below for each image prior to submitting it to be judged:

Perspective? We allow it, however if we feel as though the perspective was abused to dodge the requirements above, our Passage of Courtship admins have the authority to send images to corrections.

Am I able to submit one at a time to have a chance at the bonus? or they both have to be submitted together?
or like if say Instinct was submitted in April it could still get the bonus even if the Begining Prompt was posted next month if I run out of time. If that make sense??
Just wanted to double check before starting any prompts ^.^

- Katherine

It would have to be another Felvarg.
~MrsEvelyn
How many bonus lit/images can you make for the PoC?
Also, do the bonus images apply to both prompts or do you have to make separate bonuses per prompt?
As our Guide: Passage of Courtship says, the bonus is per image, meaning you can have a bonus image or story for both The Beginning and Internal Instinct pieces (2 bonuses total for one PoC). If only one bonus was to be included it would only count for one of the prompts, not both, so if you wanted the greatest benefit from your bonuses you would need to have 2!
I hope that helps, if you have further questions feel free to ask!
How about how many images? Is it limited to any certain amount per image or can you make as many as you want?
For example, from what I read to qualify a passage of courtship, 2-500x500 images of different prompts in one image?
~MrsEvelyn
I hope that makes sense, if you have any further questions feel free to ask!
Thank you so much dear <3
- Kissing
For the #3 prompt where they have to attempt to look menacing, would that also count if it was towards another Felvarg, like a sibling or fellow pack member?
~MrsEvelyn
Any one PoC can have up to 2 bonuses (one for The Beginning and one for Internal Instinct)! Because a Felvarg can only go through their PoCs once, the bonuses can only be used for that one PoC. Bonuses must be of the Felvarg that is being judged in the PoC, so they cannot be reused for another submission.
I hope that helps! If you have other questions feel free to reach out!
