1000 Watcher Raffle | Suggestions Welcome!
2 years ago
I'm nearing 1000 Watchers!! Thank you all so much, you're incredible!
I wanted to thank you all so much for your support, however, I've been having trouble deliberating on what I could give back to my audience.
- Part of me knows that I went full into vore, so I'm wondering if I should do a raffle for a free piece of custom art? Like I could draw someone's pred and a multi-slot YCH so they get a custom piece of their pred! I could maybe auction off or raffle off other slots?
- Or maybe I should do a vore piece and then a general piece, just for folks who don't follow me for vore?
- Or maybe I could just do a single raffle, and let the person decide if it should be vore or general art?
I'm not sure which of these is best, or what my current audience would like! That's why I want to ask to see what you guys want to see!
Thank you so much for looking, and I look forward to hearing your suggestions!
And once again, thank you so much for following! I love you all and I can't express enough how much it means to me!
Small Health Update: I'm still on the mend from a pretty nasty infection. I can move my jaw a little (though it gets tired easily) and I'm basically tethered to the heating pad and pain killers, but that's a lot of progress compared to how bad it's been this weekend! I might still be a little slow on the reply, but I'll be available as soon as I can be!

I hope you are feeling better from your infection soon and wish you a sppedy recovery. Once again, congrats on hitting 1000 watches, have a good day. ^^
I'll definitely consider it, but thank you so much! Have a wonderful day yourself!
Congrats on 1000!!
I know your pain cuz I just came down with inflamed gums and toothache two days ago, just hope that gets better for you real soon!
I swear toothache sorts of things just send everything else off in the face, it's fascinating how connected all of those nerves are. Thank you so much for your perspective, and I also hope that you feel better soon!
I think most people here saying that one vore and one non vore are saying that out of a desire to be fair but Given all three people saying that have posted vore in their gallery I doubt that there are that many people that would participate in this who would actually prefer something not vore related from you.
But I know that I used to do general art for a few years before that, so the first parts of my watcher group were general and might not overlap with the later vore. I'm not sure how many watchers there are that would want non-vore, but that's why I wanted to see!
What I'm currently thinking is I can probably run the two raffles as people are suggesting, but use it as an opportunity to see how many people would want just general art. That'd be good to know in the future!
But thank you so much for checking into it and for your perspective on the matter! It really means a lot!
But congrats on your 1000!
Look forward to your raffle! I do like vore!
Thank you so much for your perspective and for your thanks! In that same vein, thank you so much for your support! You're incredible, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
That said, congrats! Reaching milestones like that feels amazing!
For the 1000+ watchers thing, instead of rewarding just one or two random watchers, maybe ask for watchers' personal pred+prey character refs and then let your audience decide? Keeps everyone involved AND gives you feedback.
Just a thought/suggestion... is up to you to decide, of course. Hope that helps. Just please, please, please, please do NOT Use Google Docs....my opinion.
Also, yes, for other watchers, something similar that's fun and innocent would be a nice gesture. (iThink? iDunno)
Thank you for your perspective on this, and you definitely have piqued my interest in the premise! If I don't do that for this raffle, I might do that for a later raffle or option because that does sound interesting! But do you have any suggestions on how you would run/organize that?
Thank you for the suggestion, though! That sounds like a lot of fun, but it does sound like it might need some more organization so it might be something I'll research for later implementation. Still it sounds like a fun idea so thank you for it!
The basic framework I was picturing was start by opening the contest to ALL Watchers, to post their OC's for pred/prey slots semi-sorta like a YCH, but instead of selling slots, use a vote-raffle to determine the winners.
Once you have a full list of contestants for each slot, filter the results a bit. Disqualify ones you'd have a REAL hard time drawing and/or have features or required behaviors that totally squick you.
I said NO HEART TATTOOS right in my "will not draw" list and I MEAN IT!
Next, make a journal post announcing the contenders (with links, if possible) and have watchers pick THREE DIFFERENT favs for each slot. Three votes each to give you an idea of general fav's; might even wanna make it top four or five for each watcher so the real crowd pleasers will stand out. DIFFERENT Fav's so a single character can't win a finalist selection because of just one or two all-in dedicated fans.
...also important, keep the voting results secret to avoid tainting unfinished results. (...and ask fans not to say who they voted for out of respect)
Private notes will be severely unweildly even if you're getting only two hundred watchers to vote, so will have to look fora good voting page (or program your own).
If you use something off-site, BE SURE to get a FA username and check it against your Watched-by list to keep things fair.
Tally the numbers and cut the list down to just the top three/five/ten/etc. for each. and have a final round of voting.
Might be nice of you to console the ones whom get voted out with comments and compliments so there's no hard feelings. Y'know, keep things positive, and encourage watchers to keep it clean and stay involved.
(Oh! Wow, I thought for sure you'd be a finalist. Aw, too bad, super-cute. Sorry to see ya go b'cuz love that tummy/love them IN tummy.
Try your best to avoid more than two rounds because the process can/will bog down and turn dull in a hurry. If you need a tie-breakers, either have a final judge or small panel of final judges, or weight your long-time watchers' votes or something.
Okay, that turned out more complicated than I was thinking, but trying to go for something that will be fun for everyone.
Hopefully this helps.
Whatever you choose to do, stay cool and rock on.
