Fursuit charity livestream/raffle idea
10 years ago
General
So I've got this idea that I'm toying with and trying to figure out if it'll work. If it does go ahead it wont be until the new year, and specific dates entirely depend on whether my queue is complete, how busy my University/Job is etc.
I'd like to do a 12-hour fursuit livestream, where I just solidly make a fursuit head and livestream it from start to finish, with a 12-hour goal (maybe 15?). Pretty simple in theory.
However, I'd like to incorporate both a raffle and a charity element into this. So here are my options:
- Livestream with donations for charity and then release the head for a free raffle (just pay shipping) afterwards. The time of raffle draw will depend on number of entries (through shares/comments/etc) and/or money raised for charity.
- Make the head in the stream and auction it - part/full cost goes to charity. Donations welcome during the stream? (For charity or not I don't know)
- Make the head in the stream, donations for charity during, then set up a raffle where something small is sold at a cheap price (Like a keyring for £2 or something inc. shipping? Or an icon?) And all purchases get you entered into a raffle to win the head.
I would likely aim the stream for a saturday, or would sunday be better for people?
There are probably other ways, if you've got any other options that would be appreciated, and any thoughts would be great!

I would watch if my internet allows me to! I'll certainly give it a go in the raffle! Your heads are amazing, War Lion or ''Tumaini Lion'' is doing well, I would love a lioness to go with him.
If you ever open up for commissions, send me a message or pm or shout, you do the BEST toony suits and I am in LOVE with the eyes on the lion. <3
And I think its great doing a charity livestream with a raffle head, its lovely. :) I just wish I could make fursuits, i've tried a few times and it just baffles me. I've ripped apart so many heads I made. Lol.
Sorry, I just think your heads are wonderful and so full of character. <3
It's an idea I've been toying with for a while and it would be nice to finally be able to do it.
May I suggest you stream on a platform that will record and save the stream? That way if people aren't able to be there for the whole time, they can still go back and see what they missed if they're interested in learning. C: Twitch does this, and you can also set up a donation system with Twitch that will show you on-screen when people donate!
And yes my plan would be to do that, I'm thinking either livestream, youtube direct streaming or twitch (the last two of which I have no idea how to use) And will become available as either time-lapse or full video, I'm unsure yet. I'm a little bit put off by the thought of uploading a 12 hour video, but it'll definitely reach youtube one way or another!
The reason I suggested Twitch is because it records streams automatically and then they can be accessed right there on your Twitch profile - so you wouldn't have to record/upload it. At least, I think that's how it works, haha!
