On May 13, I celebrated having 200 followers by hosting a DTIYS (Draw This In Your Style). First of all, thank you to everyone who said they'd join and those who submitted their entries. I really appreciate it and I love all of your entries. And thank you to those who tried to help share my DTIYS. You guys are awesome. :3 But. I don't think I'll be sharing the results. At all. Before you throw hands at me, lemme tell you something. At first, I was pretty excited. 200 followers is a large milestone for me and I wanted to see people draw my OC in their own styles. So I waited. And waited. And waited. And after waiting for a while, I realized most of the people who were interested didn’t end up joining. I only got a few entries and most of the people who participated are people I know on Scratch and I frequently talk to. I’m grateful that they took their time to submit their entries. But I didn't want to seem biased. I didn't have to worry, did I? Pretty much no one else joined. Soon, I even forgot I HAD a DTIYS. I just found it and closed it by the time I'm typing this. Shame. I don't blame anyone. I know people get busy, lose motivation, or simply change their minds at the last minute. I probably should've tried to advertise or something. Or encourage others to join. I should've been more active on my part. Of course, it felt like spamming and annoying other users on Scratch so I avoided that like a plague. Still, it's kind of disappointing. It's pretty discouraging to host a contest for no one to join. Like having a birthday party and no one showed up. I'm not trying to sound accusatory or throwing myself a pity party. But I'll just say this. If you want to join a contest, please. Consider carefully. Don't just hurriedly post a comment saying you'll join and completely forget about the thing. And if you want to join a contest but you can't or don't feel like it, that's fine! It's better than giving an empty promise. So... I don't know if I'll share the results any time soon. Oh, and if you want me to share a project about me yapping about my OCs, let me know. I miss talking about their lore. :’)
