Lately, I've been receiving a lot of comments and messages that fall along the lines of "I am so honored to have someone of your stature in my stream" or "I'm actually very honored for you even to comment on some of my stuff"

It comes off as a bit of a surprise to me as a lot of people have been acting as if I am some sort of noble furry goddess. I know I've become rather well known around FA due to the business I have given a lot of great artists but really guys... I am just a person behind a computer, same as you! There is no need to put me up on a pedestal and act honored to have my attention! You are all every bit equally worthy of my time and while I may not be able to give everyone as much attention as I would like to, I do appreciate every one of you.

As I have mentioned before, if you would like me to check out something in particular you drew, would like me to give you advice or a critique, want me to attend a stream, chat, whatever, just note me and I will do my best to give you my undivided attention!

I especially wanted to take the time to thank all of you for being incredibly helpful in dealing with all of the art thefts I have encountered on Facebook. I know it must get incredibly annoying to have me keep posting journals about people who have stolen art of Icee but I am really forever grateful for your help in getting it reported and taken down. It means a lot to me that so many of you would step in and give me a moment of your time for such a favor <3

To show my eternal thanks for all of you for the favorites, the watches, the comments, the help, and the friendship I have decided to host a watcher appreciation contest. Everyone who is watching me is eligible to enter this contest. I cannot give away any more art as I still have quite the list to get through but I do have some fantastic prizes for everyone!

So what are the prizes for this contest?
The first place winner will have an opportunity to be in a commission with any of my characters by an artist of your choice valued up to $150 paid for entirely by me. The commission may not be sexual or romantic in nature. The winner and I will discuss the subject matter together and find something we would both enjoy to be drawn doing together!

The second place winner will be offered the chance to have one of their characters turned into a winter hat made by yours truly. Here is an example (and yes, that is me!) They will have the option of having their character name embroidered inside the hat and may discuss additional personalization options with me. This prize is valued at $75. It will be completed likely sometime in December or January.

The third place winner will receive a five to ten page story written by me about one of my characters and up to two of their characters. The theme of the story will be selected by the winner but again, it may not be sexual or romantic in nature. It will be completed likely sometime in December or January.

Those sound pretty awesome! How do I enter your contest, Icee?
In order to enter the contest, you must be watching me! This is a watcher appreciation contest after all. Beyond that, please fill out the form below:

Name:
How you found me:
Why do you watch me?:
Who is one artist you think I should commission and why?:

These questions really won't pertain at all to your prize but help give me some handy information about what my watchers might like to see in the future! Please make sure to put your favorite icee flavor in the subject line so I know you actually read this! It must be included on the first message for your entry to be considered.

So how are you going to pick a winner?
Everyone who submits the form correctly will be assigned a number. I will be using a random number generator to pick the winners and I will be streaming this so people will know that it was indeed truly random.

When do we need to submit the form by?
I will be picking winners on Friday, October 21st at 5PM central time. I will post a link to my stream at this time and anyone who wants to watch me pick the winner will be able to attend the stream. This gives you approximately TWO DAYS to complete this form!


Good luck to everyone who enters and thank you greatly for showing me nothing but support and love. You all make being in this fandom so worth it!
