Hi Everyone,

I wanted to put this page on the site so I could give an explanation on why this event is happening, and to be fully, unequivocally honest.

So to start, I am funding the rewards completely on my own. This may also come across as me trying to afford more “commissions” while spending less money. I won’t deny it either. That’s true! 😭

Jokes aside, I want to be transparent about the whole thing. This community that’s been built up from the start of a single fanfic, it may not seem like much, just another part of your day, a “subscription” to entertain you for a little while before you go about your life. I sometimes wonder if I’m deluded into thinking the story is more important than it really is. Like I’m taking it too seriously. I mean, a fanart contest dedicated to a single fanfic? Yeah, I thought it was crazy too and had plenty of doubts about how this would look. What people would think. But the story is important. And that’s because I treasure all of you. I was in a dark place before Arcane came out and once it did, things got better. I was inspired to live and create a story that I could be proud of and after the first chapter of My Boy Savior was posted, I felt like I was achieving something even though I had no idea how far I’d go. Every step of the way after, you all have been so positive, so welcoming, always supporting me, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Please consider this contest my attempt to give you all something more than a new chapter each week. I put a lot of time and effort into setting up this event and it would mean the world to me if you gave it a shot.

If it goes well, I sincerely hope I can plan another event in the future! This is the first attempt, but by no means do I want it to be the last. Just setting things up, anticipating how many people would participate, planning all the little details has been a rollercoaster. I’ve had so much fun despite how nervous I can feel about it. Maybe we can do something together in the future? Another fanart contest with a prize pool funded by all of us together? Or maybe a cosplay contest? Or a charity fundraiser? There’s so many possibilities to consider!

I promise that for as long as I’m able to continue supporting this community and giving whatever I can, you won’t have to worry about me. I don’t want anyone feeling like I’m taking something for nothing or finding ways to take advantage of success. Even with all the donations in the world, I’d give it right back to all of you.

You’ve given me everything already. ❤
