I’m finally doing my first giveaway everyone!

Prize: 1 drawing of 2 characters, half-body. 

  • Pose can be romantic or platonic
  • You can choose to have a blank background or have a colored background for free! 

How to enter:

  • 1 reblog = 1 entry, reblog as many times as you like! 
  • You have to be following me to have a valid entry. 

Rules 

  • Request has to be tasteful. If the request makes me uncomfortable, I will inform you that you need to modify your request
  • Original Characters are allowed (I cannot draw anthro characters, but ears and tails are okay!) I am going to need references, and descriptions so be prepared with those!
  • Characters from any fandom are allowed, if I’m not familiar with the fandom I will let you know and will ask for references if needed! 

I will announce the winner on January 1st and tag them in the announcement post! Good luck everyone, I’m excited to finally do this for my Tumblr followers! 

Glad to see everyone getting so involved! I just wanted to let everyone know that reblogging multiple times in a row in a short amount of time can sometimes not show up in the notes, while others that are reblogging every couple hours or so in a day are a lot easier to keep track of! If you did reblog multiple times in a row don’t worry, I still have all of your entries recorded, I just thought I’d offer the little tip to make things easier!

From someone who’s survived MySpace, livejournal, deviantart, and fanfiction.nets’ content purges and bad policy updates, here’s some advice on how to get through tumblr’s recent bullshit:

– don’t knee jerk delete. I know it’s tempting to peace out immediately but hang on and do the other steps first. Out right ghosting and erasing everything is how fandoms die.

– archive everything on your blog you want to keep

– tell your followers how they can archive and keep your work too. A lot of fic and art were only saved from ff.net and lj because other people saved it first. If you’re cool with other people saving your work for them to personally keep, let them know this. You can absolutely discourage reposting but I really do highly recommend you allow people to personally save fic and art they like and are worried will disappear forever. Digital Dark Ages are a real thing.

– tell people where you’re jumping ship to. Give links. Keep that info up, even if you’ve left the site.

– go through who you follow and find out where else you can follow them. Save their work if they’ll allow it. It’s tedious as hell but if you want to keep up with people on here clicking on their page to check in is the best way to do it.

– support places like ao3. This is exactly why ao3 asks for donations a few times a year. They are a 100% anti-purging, judgement free, ad free non profit run by an elected board and protected by lawyers. Places like ao3 literally save fandom so please continue to support them and other similar archives. This is exactly why ao3 is so important.
