Yes, I'm serious. I have no power to make any submissions the Official Fursona or anything; I just think Manifold having a fursona would be really funny. (I say this as a furry.)

Here's how this works:

• Create a fursona to represent Manifold. There needs to be some type of visual depiction; it can be via hand-drawn art, pixel art, a Picrew, or so on. The quality of the art does not matter as long as the basic features of the fursona are clear; another artist should be able to replicate them. Note that the art must be created by you - no stealing art from Google, having an AI generate a fursona, or anything like that. Joke submissions are allowed; the design does not have to be serious.

• Post the fursona in the comments - name and image are required, description is optional. Doing this guarantees a 50 mana bounty! Note that only one submission per person is allowed.

• If I deem your design/description/etc. high quality, I'll award a 100 mana bounty instead.

• In the (unlikely?) event that a representative of Manifold chooses a submission - or makes their own - and deems it Manifold's Official Fursona, the creator of that fursona will receive an additional 250 mana bounty.

• In the event that a fursona is created by multiple people via collaboration, the bounty will be split evenly (or as evenly as possible) among them.

• The bounty is set to 250 to start, because I don't expect many submissions. I will increase it later if I need to.
