TL:DR - If you're interested in claiming a free opportunity to win a free 8k (potentially 10k) word story commission, simply like or comment on this post, preferably a like, just something small that let's me know you've read this post and would like to participate. There's a soft deadline of 11:59 PM EST on January 4th, so if you want in, I'd recommend you respond to this post as soon as you see it, but again, only if you're interested. If you've already participated or expressed interest elsewhere, you do not need to react to this post.
There's been an ongoing event on my Discord server for the past several days, but I know that quite a few members of my Patreon aren't on my server, or aren't active there, so I'm posting this for their benefit. The full details of the event can be found on the #server-announcements channel on my server, and if you want to join just to see those details, there is a permanent link available in the bio of my Deviantart Account.
If you want to participate, please make sure that you are either available on Discord OR that you check the email you have provided me that's attached to your Patreon account as those are the primary channels through which I'll be reaching out in the event that you're the recipient of the free commission. If I reach out to you and you do not respond within 48 hours, I will move on to the next potential recipient. Please also try to have an appropriate commission prompt prepared to discuss with me, if you need to brainstorm with me, that's perfectly fine, but if you're not confident in your ability to craft a prompt then don't feel obligated to participate in this event.
If you comment under this post, please keep your comment non-specific, a simple "Yes" will be more than enough. Again, the full details are available via my Discord server.
