Skippable Blurb
About a year ago now I had fun running a raffle to get my permadragons some attention and lucky participants some prizes. I decided to do it again for this year's Yule leading into my birthday in late January next year. A joint Yule-birthday raffle.
I put a lot of work into most of my dragons, even though only 7 have finished/polished bios.
I also really like to collect piles of happy little stars for all my perma-dragons. I do prefer genuine stars, though this raffle is probably going to encourage all the stars regardless. I ran a similar raffle last year and it was a lot of fun, so thought I'd do it again running through Yule until about a week after my birthday (Raffle end date: Jan 31st at rollover into February 1st).
CW: Some dragons have multi-gaze and there are a few eye-burners as well as one with tentacles, a few might also trigger people with trypophobia or entomophobia (I don't think I have any spiders). Be aware I may be forgetting something you'd have preferred be labeled. Most of my dragons fall under a fancy/gala fashion fey and fantasy aesthetic.
You will not find: Gross-out horror elements in my collection of perma-dragons (examples: no primal plague gaze, blisters, bloody bandages, etc - I don't even have anything like "Jewels" for aberrations or the goopy slime/sludge genes). One dragon on pg3 (row 2 - Shemyaza) of the subspecies tab does have an accent that mimics primal shadow eyes.
Rules: TLDR earn a ticket for each dragon you like, tell me how many/which full tab you gave stars to. 5 tickets for compliments of at least 3 sentences. Participants may currently only win one prize. You may also participate privately through PMs.
Additionally, this year there are a few extra ways to earn tickets! More information at the end of this post.
How This Works
(for those who like detailed rules)
(for those who like detailed rules)
- 1 raffle ticket per dragon starred from the following tabs (all pages):
Show Case (all 3 pages count)
(These are not necessarily my favourites, they're just new dragons making their debut, currently active for the coli, breeding, or on hibden CD)
Center Grove (all 3 pages count)
(These dragons all have special/personal meanings/themes, or are part of my elders of each flight collection. Some dragons with special/personal meanings may be in other categories though too.)
Subspecies (all 4 pages count)
Limited Edition
Miscellaneous (both pages count)
Ancients
(This is not the only tab with ancients, just the ancients who would otherwise be in Miscellaneous)
Fan Dragons
- While you certainly can star all 467 (including 12 new dragons since the raffle's start) +any other new dragons, you may also just hit a single tab , OR even just one dragon (and getting just one ticket).
- If you previously starred a dragon of mine, you may still count that star.
However, you also have to drop a line in here to let me know. I talk to a lot of people over the years who have starred one of my dragons. I still need everyone who wants ticket credits to put their name down in this thread with what they're claiming tickets for.
- Last year's participants and even winners may enter again, but you are not automatically entered. You still have to reply to this new thread with updated information. Maybe revisit some faves and see what's new ;)
- Participants do not have to tell me what number you were nor name the dragons, you can just count the stars as you go through. Or star most of a whole tab and let me know which tab.
- I'm allowing everyone to skip a few dragons in each tab they really don't want to star and still get full credit for the whole tab. Please do not tell me who you didn't like, I don't wanna know.
Example: You starred 90-98 of the 99 dragons in the Show Case tab. You still get tickets for all 99 dragons. Or you starred 6-7 of the 8 dragons in Limited Edition tab. You still get tickets for all 8 Limited edition dragons. As you can see the no-star grace number is loosely based on how many dragons are in the tab you want full credit for).
- Please be aware that you only get tickets for dragons listed in the linked tabs of Rule 1 (do not count dragons found elsewhere like fodder, projects, auctions, or nursery).
Rule of thumb: No scene = No ticket.
(I pick scenes according to the faded out view so the dragon stands out from it. Though not a requirement, in my opinion the default faded scene view is also the best way to look at my dragons.)
- No cheating! Please be honest about how many dragons you starred or tabs of starred dragons you completed. I know I have a lot of dragons but I'm not asking you to go through or star them all unless you want to. Each ticket only costs seconds to earn and each new star makes me happy for my dragons.
- You may post multiple times in an effort to break up your posts/progress, such as by tabs, pages, or different days visited (rather than visiting/replying all at once). Please do not edit additional ticket claims/compliments into your posts, just make a new post. Once I record tickets earned in a post, I do not double check that specific post for new content.
- (Optional) Pick a/some favourite(s) from each tab and newly compliment them for an extra 5 tickets per dragon complimented (while all compliments are appreciated, these particular compliments must be at least 3 sentences to count). Please tell me if you do not wish to be quoted in the bio (and if not, whether I may quote you as an anonymous source). Also, the number of compliments you wish to leave for tickets is only limited by the number of dragons available to compliment.

Important clarification and update: You only get credit for these tickets if you give out stars to at least 25 dragons. Dragon attention should remain the main method for earning tickets <3
- You may also buy tickets for 10g/kt per ticket
Admittedly priced high to encourage the free methods instead.
- 10 tickets (up to 110 extra tickets total) just for visiting my other threads, FR tumblr, and/or FR YouTube channel long enough to find the raffle key phrase and PM me the answer.
(That's 10 tickets per thread/key phrase. Please have a sincere look, browse a little. That being said, you get these tickets regardless of whether or not you were interested enough to revisit, sign up for any related pinglists, or follow the thread/tumblr. I just want to share all my re-occuring Flight Rising projects too lol.)
