Inputs please!

Sorry for bombarding you guys with journals! After this draw there will be a lot less ^-^
If you haven't noticed, I threw the draw on hold. This is for a few reasons, mainly getting caught up with entries but also thought of some other potential issues I would like some feedback on. The closing date of Dec 1st will be moved back by the number of days I keep new entries closed.
Minors. I've noticed some younger people joining in and this can cause some issues.If you are a minor (under 18), please note me! You will not be disqualified! I just want to keep track in case you win. Not all shipping in certain areas is covered as well as parental concerns so if I can deal with this sooner than later, it would help.
*You no longer need to note me, I may have a solution to my concerns. If you win and are a minor, I will need to know then*
Total count. I've came to the conclusion that:
-All entries (valid or invalid) will count towards the total count
-Invalid entries with a valid referral will still count towards the referral count.
-Anyone with an invalid entry can fix their entry however I will not be reminding people or replying to invalid entries stating so. I have done this at first, but came to the conclusion that it is the responsibility of the entrant to read all the rules.
Also a few other things I have noticed:
Entries with reference sheets. These worry me a little as I expect these people think they are getting a custom suit.
Entries with an invalid referral. Some people are just putting in their friends names that never even entered. I have no idea why as this does nothing.
Also, I have been doing my entries in Excel. Is there anyway I can show this online easily so people can check their own entry/ referrals themselves? Or easily make this a google doc? I've never used those so any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

FA+

People might be sharing ref sheets since you implied an interesting character might be what you end up making if I recall correctly. Probably the line about "other species might be picked".
Most of the refs I did click on are peoples fursonas. I think I'll remove the line about picking someone's fursona just to clarify things a bit. I never even thought of that being why.
But usual "artist freedom" when referring to fursuits does mean a custom design by the artist. I think with other artwork it can mean different things though.
Sorry if this cause any confusion.
