Julia's Point of View:
I paced around my room, thinking of ways to hide my face for the facecam. I was dead set on not showing my face, due to some complications, but I also wasn't willing to let those complications get in the way of one of the best chances of my life.
I paced around my room, then came up with an idea.
I grabbed my keys for my car, my wallet, and my creeper hoodie. Once I got into my car, I drove as fast as I could to the nearest costume store.
*** *** *** *** ***
Once I got back home, I took out everything that I got, and started to set it up. I grabbed a blanket and draped it over a frame, that I made, of PVC pipes. I set up my camera (which I also had to buy) so that It was set up at a nice angle. I adjusted my makeshift "black screen" (the PVC pipes with the blanket over it) so that you couldn't see the rest of my recording room, which also happened to be my bedroom.
Imagine if I accidentally left a bra out while I was recording, and I didn't have a black screen, I shivered, that would horrifying!
When I had gotten done with all of the basics for facecam, I grabbed my other bag, and started to try different styles with everything. At first, I tried just wearing the wig I got as a hat, but it looked way too weird. I tried doing a half up, half down style with the wig, but that looked even worse. Eventually, I decided to wear the wig like a normal person, and tucked all my hair under it.
Not too shabby, I thought, checking myself out in the mirror.
Next, I grabbed a creeper bandana, that I had gotten from the costume shop, and used it to cover my nose and mouth. Then, I took a matching mask, like the kind the teenage mutant ninja turtles, and put it over my eyes. The final touch to my whole outfit was my creeper jacket. I looked in the mirror, and could barely recognize myself. I had the matching creeper bandana and mask set up so it looked like an actual creeper face, with thick black streaks on the fabric near my eye holes. The bandana was set up so the creeper mouth was over my mouth. My wig, which was a matching solid bright green, stood up tall, its hair about four inches high. It wasn't all straight up, some pieces were hanging onto others, giving it a sort of messy look. Satisfied with my costume, I started to practice recording with the new facecam.
"Heyoo freakaziods, my name is QueenCreeper, and welcome to my weird ass channel, where I do weird ass shit!" I stopped the recording, and looked at the video. I need to look more at the camera, I thought.
"Heyooo freakaziods, my name is Jin- wait, I'm not Asian."
"Heyoo freakawads - what in the world are freakawads?"
"Heyoo freakaziods, my name is QueenCreeper, and welcome to my weird ass introdu- aaaand I meant channel."
"Heyoo freakaziods, my name is QueenCreeper, and welcome to my weird ass channel, where I do weird ass shit!" , I smiled, had I actually gotten it right?, I thought. I went to look back at the footage, but it wasn't there. I groaned. Next time, remember to actually record it, dip wad.
This was going to take a while.

Once I had managed to get my introduction down, I had to think of a game to play. I didn't want it to be a game that Sky Media had already played, so that basically eliminated all the games I was good at. I was going through Stream for a free game, since I am cheep, and saw this game called Unturned. The game was apparently a mix of games, one of them definitely being Minecraft, considering it has a block-like appearance. I went through and played it, and actually enjoyed it. I set it to normal mode, and started to record.
"Heyoo freakaziods, my name is Queen Creeper, and welcome to my weird ass channel, where I do weird ass shit! But today isn't my normal crappy ass video, because, as you can already tell, THERE IS FACECAM!!! Except, without the actual face! But, I love you guys too much to ruin your image of me with my ugly face, so I have disguised myself!" , I threw my hands into the air and waggled my fingers, "Magic! But I digress, I'm getting off topic; so lets hop back on the topic train! The reason there is facecam in this video is because I am participating in a contest! But not just any contest, this contest is what everyone is calling the Sky Media Contest. Basically, if you win, you get to join Sky Media. They had some rules and regulations, and one of them was that there had to be facecam, so, that is why you can see me now!" , I looked over at the recording, and saw that it had been recording for around a minute, "I think I have talked your ear off enough, so lets get to playing the game of the day, Unturned!" , Then I started playing.

A week.
It had been a fucking week since Adam announced the contest. It had been four days since I uploaded my video for the contest. I was also about an hour away from buying myself some pity ice cream.
Currently, I was beating the shit out of my punching bag that I had in my room to stop myself from blowing on my money on sweets.
Why did I even care so much about this stupid contest? Its not like I actually had a chance, there were many small youtubers who had better quality channels than me.
I was about to give the punching bag a roundhouse kick, when my phone dinged with a notification. I took off my gloves and checked it, then I had typed in my password faster than the speed of light. According to the notification, Adam just posted a video called 'Contest Winner'.
I was scrambling around my room, looking for a pair of headphones. When I finally found a pair that actually of headphones that actually worked, I clicked on the video.
"Hey guys! Sky here, and welcome to another vlog! Today's vlog, as you can already tell by the title, will be about who won the contest. Everyone here at Sky Media looked though all the videos, and we all agreed on the winner. But before I announce the winner of the contest, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the contest. It was a very tough call, but we did choose a winner. The winner is" , He looked down at the card in his hand, " Coastal Element! Good job, dude! I sent you an email, so respond as soon as possible so we can discuss a few things. Everyone else, please go check out his channel! Anyways guys, I'm Sky, and I will see you later recruits."
I didn't win.
I didn't win.
I DIDN'T WIN!
I started hitting the punching bag, not even caring that I didn't have gloves on.
I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT! I EVEN HAD FUCKING FACECAM!
I kicked the punching bag, sending it swinging wildly.
WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO WRONG? WHY DO I EVEN GIVE A FUCK? OH THATS RIGHT! BECAUSE I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I HAD A CHANCE! I'M SO FUCKING STUPID! I WILL NEVER WIN ANYTHING! NOTHING GOOD WILL EVER HAPPEN TO ME! NOTHING!
I gave the punching back another kick
I DIDN'T WIN!
My punches became weaker
I didn't win.
I collapsed onto the ground, tears streaming down my face.
I didn't win.
That was my last thought as I looked at my bloody knuckles, and fell asleep.

Well, this story is getting emotional.
But lets be serious here, who else wants a punching bag in their room? I know I do!
But what do you guys think of the story so far? Are the chapters too short or too long? Please tell me, I need to know!
