GAME OVER
//YOU GOT "BAD ENDING"//
CONTINUE?
Yes
>No
***
This is my official announcement that my campaign for that Fatal Frame Petition is officially over.
That "Free Art" raffle was my last ditch effort, and it failed miserably, so I'm packing it in.
There hasn't been a signature in a week, and if I could only get barely 200 signatures in the past 5 months, there is no possible way I can get the other 1800 in 3 months.
After this, my account will return to normal, and I will NEVER bother people with such a campaign ever again.
As I explained many times, the true meaning behind this campaign was more than just getting that game on disc, although I did want that.
It was me attempting to prove to myself that I can get attention for a cause if I try hard enough.
A few years ago I felt I failed to get enough attention for a cause that really meant a lot to my family, but what this has shown me is that even if I had tried my hardest then, we still would have lost our fight, and I can now officially stop blaming myself for "not trying hard enough" - I am not as capable of making a difference as I thought I was, and that is okay.
At every turn during this campaign, I was scolded, repeatedly reminded that "petitions don't do jack shit", and I lost watchers, friends, and respect*...but I also learned who my true friends are**. That, combined with the IMPORTANT lesson that I actually can't get a "movement" going, as I once thought I could, have been worth it. It's better to learn I can't make a difference NOW, for a cause that...while it was important to me, didn't really matter in the end, than continuing to think that I had 10k people at my side who would help me if I need it. Turns out I only have a very small percentage of that who'll help me out, but that small percentage? I love you all, and I appreciate that small group of you now, more than ever.
*Any respect I had wasn't deserved anyway, lol xD
**And because it's been brought up, this doesn't just mean people who signed the petition - this even includes people who REFUSED to sign, and even some who called me out on my bullshit, but who did it in a kind manner and who remained my friend despite the fact that I've been an annoying little shit.
So that's it! It's over.
Those of you who've been complaining can stop complaining now.
If you're even still here, that is.
And before anyone says/thinks anything about it, this artwork is a parody of the game I've been campaigning for, and is not indicative of my mood or my intentions. I am legitimately bummed, but I'm not about to throw myself off of a cliff as Sora here has done - this is just how Sora has met his unfortunate end at Mt. Hikami. May he rest in peace. ...Although any Fatal Frame fans will know that there is none of that on Mt. Hikami, but at least now Shiragiku has a pet.

Shit, dude, spoiler warning! Now we all know how KH3 ends! D:
In all seriousness, I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you. i know you were pouring your heart and soul into it, but sometimes that just isn't enough. *offers hugs*
But hey, ya didn't lose me! And that Sora/Axel sparring fic I WILL write someday, I swear.

PLEEEEASE. We ALL saw it coming.
Also, have you heard about Kingdom Hearts 2.8?
My boyfriend is now making jokes about KH 2.99(repeating) now. xD
Yeah, but it doesn't feel so bad to fail when you know you did everything within your power and it's just...out of your league. Looking at that prospect from afar, it looks like it'd hurt a lot, but it's actually a bit of a relief. Although of course, if I'd hit the goal that would have felt even better, but oh well. xD
Hahaha, take your time, Jay!!

I can't imagine I'll have a PS4 anytime soon, but I'd get it if I did have one, even if the only new thing on it (that I know of) is that Aqua movie...?
I have a feeling you'll be waiting quite a while for KH3. I just...it's just a feeling I have.
Which is one reason I'm very relaxed about the fact that I don't have a PS4 yet. xD
When it gets closer to existing...I'll start worrying more. x3

Sorry to hear it didn't work out. You did everything anyone could do under the circumstances, at any rate.
Also, sorry that I sat the whole thing out. I'd have liked to give you a hand but between school and a very long rough patch in my life I could only pay a bare minimum of attention to FA.

Someone was actually scolding you for doing this? Compared to all of the other petitions I've seen, yours was the only one that had a mature reason and actually made sense. I wouldn't say it was a complete failure; some signatures are better than none, right? I'd guess that the problem was that the issue didn't affect most people as much as it does you and the other signers.
Well, scolding me for being annoying, or for holding my other art "hostage". x3 Because...I did have other art, but I didn't post it because I was on strike! So, they didn't scold me just for asking people to sign a thing, they scolded me for doing it in an annoying fashion. Which...I understand. xD
I think the people who came up with that petition over-estimated the amount of people who would sign it. xD So, I had to work harder to get the amount it needed, but in the end, it's impossible. x3 The petition was written well and had decent goals, but assuming 5,000 people would sign a petition about such a niche game...maybe they were hoping a bit too much. xD

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you.
I still think you can make a big difference in the world, but you know... those 10,000 people aren't to be confused as your minions. You would be a very powerful person if you could direct that many people to do things for you.
I get really mad when say Facebook tries to control me. Or take Instagram for example that doesn't let you copy text within the app. I don't know about other people, but it drives me crazy when large entities try to control my behavior so that they can achieve their own goals.
10k people will flock your profile to see amazing art that you are offering for free, but they aren't all going to do favors for you generally speaking unless you force them to - kind of like big companies like FB are trying to do haha
Sorry for writing so much. I spend a lot of time thinking about how marketing works, so things like this are interesting to me.

I never thought of them as "minions", but I do often refer to them as "friends", even if I barely know some of them! xD So, it's more like...I was hoping they'd see my plight and do me a favor, at least some of them!! It was always a thought in my mind, "if shit hits the fan, I have 10k people who can help me with whatever it is", it was almost like...a safety net! But what I realized here (and which apparently other people had already known!) a LOT of those people are inactive, or only click on art they want to see, +fav it, and leave, and that's totally fine, I just...hadn't thought of it that way. xD
So, please don't think I thought of those 10k watchers as minions to do my bidding, exactly! xD I'm not THAT awful. But, I did think my pleas would reach the ears of most of them, and then a good chunk of them would help out - not all 10k, but I figured the chances were high I could get at least 2,500 signatures! ...turns out the chances are MUCH lower than I thought, and that's OK. What I learned is, of those 10k, only small percentage are active and friendly, and this REALLY helped me get to know them better (like you, for instance! We started talking a lot because of all this!), and I learned how much more important it is to have a few good friends than 10 thousand distant ones. x3
I love anyone who's willing to subscribe to my dumb art, but I love even more someone who's willing to interact with me on a more intimate basis, and I feel like I grew closer to my friends through all this, and I really do appreciate that.

Bahaha, not really, I'm very mushy, and I don't have very many minion friends.
I'm actually usually the minion in the relationship. xD
And you're exactly right, and that's EXACTLY what I learned here. :D
I feel bad that I pissed everyone off, but I'm so happy I made my bond deeper with the small amount of friends I do have, yourself included, my fine Pika-pal!!

xD THANK YOU TWICE!!
It's alright, I think this was doomed from the start, but I can officially say, I tried my hardest, and I can't have tried any harder without pissing absolutely everyone off, so...well, I tried! xD
And don't worry, I'm going to draw more Fatal Frame art, I love that series to bits, so it must happen, cause or no cause. x3

True, but I was asking them to sign it only as a favor to me, regardless of whether or not they cared. xD
I've done it for other people's games, hell, I even threw money at a kickstarter for a game I didn't care a LICK for. xD I just figure, it's a favor to a friend, and nothing more. xD

Well, that was because no one pays attention to journals, and when I made artwork using...say, Pokemon, people were (rightfully) annoyed that I used other characters to call out a petition for a different game!
Holding my account "hostage" was supposed to be fun and funny, and a way to sort of force me to practice humans. And it worked! And once I am better with humans, there will be even more Fatal Frame art.
