When dA introduced their new Fragments gem badge system my first thought was: "Great, another stupid new shiny thing trying to distract us from all the crap that's still broken around here (and also a shameless rip-off from other sites *coughredditawardscough*)." One result of that opinion is I rarely do anything with them and since Core members receive 25/50/100 free Fragments per week depending on membership level, I have accumulated a small pile of the things. So as the Journal title states, I'm going to be putting them to use for a giveaway.
RULES: 1.) You have to have been Watching me from before this post went live. No following just because you want free stuff. 2.) You cannot currently have Core. Giving a diamond badge to someone who already has Core just awards them the badge and some Fragments; it does not extend an existing membership. 3.) You must be an active member of the site. If your gallery is empty and your faves are empty and your Watch list is empty and you haven't commented on anything nor gotten yourself a proper avatar, why are you even here?
HOW TO ENTER: Leave a comment on this Journal post. Anything (that does not break dA's ToS). Simple "hi", wall of emotes, wave your arms around shouting "PICK ME PICK ME", share your latest art piece, whatever. I'll assign everyone a number and then use a random number generator to pick from the pool of entrants.
DEADLINE: Midnight UTC Feb. 28. Winner will be contacted via Note shortly after that.
