Giveaway: Sailor Shikiori Ink Sampler Sets

[Alex-Brush]

Hi! I just today explored this corner of FPN for the first time! After a year in the game mom favorite part might be the inks! I would love to be entered in the giveaway and I think I prefer #2 just because it has one blue/grey color that looks incredible! Lot #1 is still awesome though (: Thanks for the generosity!

[linkoiram]

I'd be interested in this, never tried sailor inks before. No preference

I have a few of the inks in set #1, so I'll throw my name in for set #2. I've been wanting to try Yodaki in particular. Thanks so much for doing this!

[mixink]

Thanks for the opportunity. Can I sign up for set 2?

[KingRoach]

Thanks for this giveaway. Please count me in. Can I have all my tickets in set #3 please?

[Alex-Brush]

Hey Ive never won a giveaway and Id be interested in any set. If I win, you can send me whatever is left after the first two people get their set of choice (: Thanks for the generosity

[gkterry]

Set 3 would be my preference but I would be happy with any of them, Thanks for doing this!

[KingsCountyWriter]

Thank you for the opportunity! I'm interested in Set SS01, as I already have some of set 2. Worse case scenario is that I use them in my classroom if I'm lucky enough to get Set 2.

 

Thanks!

I would quite like to be in this drawing for any of the sets. If I had to name an order it would be-

 

1. Set 2

2. Set 3

3. Set 1

 

I've only tried 2 of the inks in this collection so any of them would be exciting.

 

Thank you for this opportunity.

Can i just say how awesome smug dill is for these? Youve sent out a BUNCH of ink at your cost (and considerable effort in packaging alone). So thank you again for doing these pifs!

Agreed

 

Congrats to all who won.

Thanks guys.

 

Reinforcing the cardboard mailers with styrofoam frames, filling the sample vials and packing them in such a way to comply with postal regulations, then filling out the required paperwork and lodging the packages in person at the post office indeed take considerable effort and more time than I'd like to spend. It is especially inefficient to fill just one vial of each of more than a dozen ink colours, since I have to clean and dry the glass eyedropper after each one.

 

Therefore, after this giveaway, and one more that I've already filled and packed (since I was already preparing a privately offered sampler set ot those ink colours), I'll be giving it a rest for a while.

 

I do hope these giveaways have been, or will be, useful in expanding fellow enthusiasts' ink horizons and perhaps help them decide on which new inks they want to be spending their hobby budget.

It definately allowed me to play with a bunch of ink i probably wouldnt have for a good while... Im not generally huge on inks that arent super waterproof but now i NEED to find a use for some pilot colors so thanks for that as well LOL

[A Smug Dill]

yazeh, thanks for getting in touch promptly. I'll lodge your package containing set SS02 tomorrow.

 

I haven't heard from the recipients of the other two sets, although I note that KingRoach hasn't been online since the results were drawn and announced. On the other hand, KingsCountyWriter has been online at least twice (that I know of, from what FPN's application platform told me) in the 72 hours since; I'll wait another couple of days, and if I still haven't heard from KingsCountyWriter in that time, then I'll allocate set SS01 to another entrant.

Thank you so much, again. I'm looking forward to receiving them.

I hope for their sakes, the lucky winners wake up

Five days (actually, in excess of 120 hours) have passed since the announcement of the draw results, and from what I can see, KingsCountyWriter has been online at least four times in that period (if not every single day), including when I checked three hours ago and even just now, but I haven't heard from him. I'll have to assume he isn't really interested enough to send me his mailing address or even check this thread at all.

 

I'll therefore reallocate set SS01.

 

@linkoiram, you can have set SS01 if you'd like to send me your mailing address by private message in the next two days.

 

I also haven't head from KingRoach, who hasn't been online for a few days. I'll reallocate set SS03 if I don't hear from him in the next 48 hours.
