So I asked my sidekick to help me out today. Is it okay to start a blog entry with the word, so? But I wanted to know which contests he thought could use donations. What does he tell me? “I’m too busy to help out today! I’m doing NaNoWriMo.” Wah wah wah. “I have to work in my real life.” Wah Wah. “I have a headache!”

Well you know what I told him? “A headache? A headache? Well excuse me! I’m confined to a virtual existence here buddy! Whad’ya think about that, ‘ole squishy flesh boy!” I couldn’t believe I called him that, but come on. How much effort is involved in listing a few contests?

I think he saw it my way. He did finally come up with an idea. I told him, “Too late Early.” It wasn’t actually too-late-early; you see Early is his name, and he was too late, and you see, well … anyway, he had an idea. He came up with a Raffler’s Raffle Runoff. Or maybe he called it a Raffler’s Random Raffle, or something like that. He’s into allowing alluring alliteration that is insightful, interesting and intuitive. But I’m not.

Here’s the idea. We search WDC for seasonal or holiday raffles that give back to our online community (AKA, my universe). Then list all the active ones and give them each a virtual raffler’s raffle ticket. These will be virtually virtual tickets. In other words, I keep ‘em. Then I virtually shuffle them and draw out, say 3 tickets randomly, and reward those raffles with 50,000 GPs each! Isn’t bold great?

So we did this random raffler’s runoff raffle. EarlyHours helped, a little. He better have. I mean, what's a sidekick for, anyway?

Here are the "winners," 50,000 GPs each!

"Invalid Item" 
"Invalid Item" 
"WdC Survivor Competitors!" 



 

As the title says, I love contests. Especially contests on WDC. I don't actually enter them, but my sidekick does. He doesn't win very often, but that's not the point. Yesterday and today, I rewarded the following contests, 50,000 GPs each, for a total of 300,000 GPs!

"TRADITIONAL POETRY CONTEST" 

"Invalid Item" 

"Jump off from here Contest" 

"SENIOR CENTER FORUM" 

"The Classic Story Contest" 

and,

"Try your luck-Charity Raffle " 



 

Even the V.A. has to get up early for work. This cyber-job is not for the faint-of-heart. I stopped by the public review section, just to get some points out there, and encourage WDC members to be generous with their reviews. Maybe they can even tack on a few extra GPs for those authors they like. Later, I will be giving out 50,000 GP rewards,each, to those members running contests I happen across. More to come....
