Hi guys. I know I told bluepatch I'd put them up this weekend, was there someone else I promised would be put up this week? I keep feeling there was, and I don't want to forget them.

So if I did, let me know. Don't want to forget you.

For the love of all that is fluffy, don't pin this post. Put it somewhere less obtrusive, like the sidebar or something. I don't know. Mods, help!

(PROBABLY) EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT /R/FURRY'S ART ROULETTE

Brief(-ish) background of the Furry Art Request Roulette (FARR):

The idea for the format was something I brainstormed at the start of the Summer when regulars to the subreddit were looking for something to do - some kind of regular community event. I wanted it to be a way to get as many users involved in having something to look forward to every now and again.

Seeing as practically everyone loves getting free art (judging by the number of comments you tend to find when an artist posts up offering to draw), I figured - why not do something relevant to that. The one common complaint though, was that to have any chance of being noticed by an artist, you would have to reply to their post soon after it goes up. That's why I decided it would be a better idea to give everyone a week or two to put their name in and pick randomly at the end.

Another common comment from artists is that they don't like to post up asking to draw others because they get so many requests that they can't possibly fulfil them all and have to disappoint a few people who don't get picked. So, why not let the artists decide in advance how much they want to draw and fill the gaps with randomly-picked requesters.

The whole event is also a way to get users talking to each other - stopping them from lurking quite so much, or just posting art or links and not interacting with others. Most importantly, it's for fun.

In short, what is the furry art request roulette?

FARR is an event that happens every two weeks where requesters are assigned to artists who will draw something for them.

For free?

Yep. Free art!

I want free art!

Don't we all? To sign up as a requester for the next FARR, click on the link to the Requester Form down below. Submit your username and you'll have a chance to be randomly selected.

I want to draw!

Artists volunteering is what makes this event work. Without artists, there wouldn't be anyone to draw the requests... obviously. The Artist Form (linked below) is a little different and slightly more complex. Along with your username, you will need to submit a very brief summary of what you're offering to draw so the requester can get an idea of what they might get.

I want to draw MORE!

Even better! If you want to take on multiple requests, just submit the artist form for each piece of art you want to produce. These can be different - another reason for the summary, so an artist can offer different things.

I want to draw, but I don't think I'm good enough.

See the response to "I want to draw!". I would like to think that it's not necessarily the amount of skill, but the amount of effort someone puts in that's important. In any case, just about every one of the requesters would be happy to receive any free art, regardless of who draws it. Besides, you get better with practice and this can be a good learning experience.

So when does the FARR happen?

Every other Friday. Check the schedule below for specific dates.

Can anyone enter?

Yes and no. Anyone can enter - they don't have to be a regular active contributor on the subreddit, just as long as the account is more than a couple of weeks old (in order to stop people from making extra accounts to enter multiple times - not that there's been any issue with it so far). The only exception is if the user was randomly selected as a requester in the previous FARR. In this case, they should avoid entering into the next FARR to give others more of a chance, but can enter as a requester from the FARR afterwards, onwards.

Why can people sign up as a requester when they've already been picked one or two times? Surely it isn't fair to anyone who hasn't got anything yet.

This question comes up every now and again, and I think doing this would cause more problems than it would solve. With the current limitations on how often someone can enter/receive art, the FARR is in a good place with a healthy amount of sustained interest, while having a reasonable amount of fairness.

If I barred everyone who had received art in the past, three things would happen: One - People (Requesters) would lose interest in the event as soon as they get some art. Two - Some requesters would complain that others got art that was of much higher quality than theirs. Three - There would eventually be more artists than requesters, or no requesters at all. (At this point, allowing people who have received one piece of art to start signing up again, while giving priority to people who haven't got anything yet would be a logistical nightmare - without even getting into the issue of people signing up with throwaway accounts.)

Schedule:

Date FARR post July 17th FARR 1 July 31st FARR 2 August 14th FARR 3 September 4th FARR 4.5 September 11th FARR 5 September 25th FARR 6 October 9th FARR 7 October 23rd FARR 8 Every 2 weeks Another FARR
