How many Subjects?

Number Input · Multiplicative
This should only include subjects of the type established in the first dropdown, and can be used when submitting multiple very similar pieces.

Accessory Bonus

Number Input · Additive
Input value is multiplied by 50 Card Credit

If your character owns an accessory item in their inventory, and you include it in your art or writing of them, you get a 50cc bonus!

To qualify the accessory does need to be somewhat prominently featured in the piece. For art this means it needs to be easily identifiable as the accessory, and not just a small portion peeking behind other parts of the piece. For writing, while extreme descriptions of the accessory aren't necessary, it should still have more than a passing mention, with characters either focusing on the item in some way in the story, or by being described in the process of setting a scene.
