seems like it is about time i summarised, whoops
firstly, i'd like to thank you all for participating! i wasn't expecting my crummy little event to get so much enthusiasm and positive feedback from the comunity, or even so many entries! there are 568 posts on this thread at the moment, and accounting for closing posts and general comments, that means around 500 entries have been posted!
secondly, i'd like to thank hellyboo, for donating the myos that form the main bulk of the prizes, but also all the people who pmed me offering prizes for the event! huge, huge thanks also go to mango marmalade, for helping me out with closing prompts and updating the spreadsheet! i don't know what i'd have done without you!
thirdly, the raffle! as hellyboo is unable to get the prizes until the 12th january, and as i am currently away from home, (i'm catching my plane home tonight!), the raffling is delayed till i'm actually at my computer, and the prizes can't be given out until they're all ready!
in response to melmellymel's question, i can try and stream the raffle from my computer, but as i don't have a join.me subscription, only three people will be able to join! (if anyone has any recommendations of better streaming sites, please let me know!)
