About the Groudon Auction (& Apology)

Hello everyone!
As most of you may be aware of, recently we had an auction for a fullsuit of the Pokemon Groudon.
This journal involves that auction and how it was portrayed.
It was recently brought to our attention that the auction was confusing in terms of who made it, and that proper credit was not entirely given.
I (Sparkle) personally want to apologize to everyone that it confused, and I also want to personally apologize to anyone involved in the costume-making that I may have hurt the feelings of. It was never my intention to hide the creator(s), and it was never my intention to put out the costume as one of ours here at Sparkle Kreations. What happened was a mistake on my end, and I will briefly explain here.
When the Groudon was first put up here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26525769/
I was unaware that the costume had 2 owners. I was also in a rush to put up the yard sale in it's entirety, and ended up originally not crediting the creator(s). This was shortly fixed to credit the creator(s), though it wasn't overly apparent in the sale.
The facts were brought to my attention that the suit had 2 owners, instead of just the one owner (who currently works with me), and plans were discussed of how to divide the final selling payment.
After this was discussed privately, the auction was put up here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26545624/
I was still unaware that this suit had a few more helping hands in its creative process until just today.
I wish to take this moment and give credit where it was well due, so that there is no more confusion and that everyone involved is properly mentioned.

•monoyasha for casting the LED eyes several times over, hanging out with me at A-kon taping patterns, creating a beautiful set of teeth, and keeping me company on Livestream for inspiration (and endless delays to bedtime)!
•Sanyai for letting me horde your amazing sewing machine, helping me with patterns and covering all of Groudon's backplates, and being such an amazing handler/helper every step of the way at conventions!
•rektheartist of course, for contributing to the building costs, being patient and supportive throughout, and last but not least- bringing to life the BEST GROUDON EVER. You were meant to cosplay him, I don't understand how you're such a natural.
•A few extra hands were also lent at A-kon by DragonFoxStar,roxas-kitax, insanespyro., and steggy

And of course, Canine Hybrid (aka Creatureneer) was the main contributing person in this costume.

I, Sparkle, have had no contribution to this costume whatsoever, and the company of Sparkle Kreations has had no effort or contribution to this costume at all. We only hosted the sale, nothing more.
Again, I would like to apologize to everyone involved, everyone confused by the sale, and everyone confused by who the original creators were.
Thanks to all who were involved for your time and effort to make this amazing costume.
Thank you all for your time to read this, and I hope we can make this a less chaotic, confusing, and hurtful mess.
