Here are some other fantastic entries:

Michael decide to ward his trusty steed, Twilight Chihuahua …

He will have no trouble riding through the night!

John ventured deep underground to show us this beautiful cave wards:

Beautiful!

Santiago is all about being practical!

If you haven’t already heard, the Warding Contest is in full swing and our inbox is crowded with entries. From hands to authors to cats, folks are warding everything! Check it out:

Kristin submitted a picture with a couple friendly faces:

For my entry I have selfishly warded a couple of my favorite authors with unsight, light, and prophecy. I figure that way you can all write deep into the night without fear of detection or even need of electricity. I have no reason why I warded the moon, it just looked cool.

Alexander decides to go classic with his warded arm:

Simon created a whole backstory for his entry:

When the bandits attacked their caravan, the sisters Alyah and Xanthe only just got away. Their uncle Kane was shot by an arrow giving them his personal ward kit. They didn’t even see what happened to their mum and dad in all the confusion. Alyah had her bow and Xanthe had her sketch book (which she was never far from) but that was all they had. Being caravan kids they had a better chance than some of surviving the night but now they had demons to fear during the day as well.

Jannick has taken on a feline demon to ensure his entry:

I hereby send you proof of Warding a little part of Belgium against those nasty Demons. Perhaps I’ve set the bar too high for my first effort in Warding and I should’ve gone for something less tricky, but after a little struggle and some scratches, El Kitty has been Warded.

We just announced the brand new Warding Contest (check out prizes and guidelines here), but there are already some seriously fun entries.

Christian took the wards to the capital and decorated the Washington Monument!

Awesome. Demons beware!

Marc warded the lightsaber of Cassie’s favorite Star Wars character, Ashoka!

This would make for some epic cross-world fighting action!

Bev sent in a warded tableau of a firefighter.

And finally, some potty humor!

Nathan sent in a warded toilet with impact wards …

While Keith sent in a warded toilet paper roll “Guaranteed Not to Tear!”.
