Around February, I got into a very nice, under the desk paid job that was, of all things, offered to me by the nurse who gives me my allergy shots! I recently started planning a sort of gift event for all of my RotG readers - not just SaD, but the gift is centered around it! I honestly never truly intended for it to happen – more it was a sort of pipe-dream/wish I wanted to give to people, and back in July, I took the plunge!

So, my gift. What is it? A pic? A mini fic? Something I have to open my computer/smartphone to see?

Nope~!

This is a literal, physical gift that can be requested by 10 of my readers.

Let me explain a bit...

The Dark Spirits, the people born of Pitch's very shadow, have a patron flower. It is known as the Night Gladiolus, a flower that blooms at night. It is a flower symbolic of dignity, protection, courage, and love. Part of its name, 'Gladiolus' is a Latin root word for 'sword', and it has been the very sword and patron symbol of the Dark Spirits and their defense, honor and love of their King. The flower that grows in their sacred garden is an ethereal one, found nowhere else but in The Black Realm. And in times of justice, celebration, and even war, the Dark Spirits wear this flower as a symbol of their loyalty.

Often, this method of wearing the flower comes in the form of a pin.

10 of you can receive this pin (picture available on my DA page, DA penname is 'Sumi-Sprite', link i : / sumi-sprite . deviantart journal / A-Gift-to-my-SaD-Readers-703812515 (remove space)) absolutely for free. I am making absolutely no charges for these 10 pins. However! Only 10 will be given out for free – first come, first serve. Even outside the USA.

See the information below for details!

I want a pin! How do I claim a free one? Easy! All you have to do is contact me via the email shown on my DA journal (the link to the full how-to and contact info is linked below). This gives EVERYONE – including those who do not have a FF or DA account – to get a pin. Notice though if you contact me with spam, viruses, or solicitations, you will be hard-blocked and reported. Keep it clean, folks. (Email can be found on the DA link of this giveaway)

Does EVERYONE get a pin? No. Only 10 pins will be given away for free!

I live outside the US, can I still get a pin? Of course! If you live outside the US, you can still lay claim to one of the free pins.

I claimed a pin! Now what? I will now communicate with you about methods of shipping and address. This will be especially detailed if you live outside the US! NOTICE, if you claim a pin, you can't not provide me with an address to send it to. If you find you are not comfortable with disclosing an address, you probably shouldn't participate in the giveaway. I also make no claims to responsibility if you receive your pin damaged, or if it is lost in the mail.

I missed the giveaway! Is there some way I can still get a pin? Yes, there is! I ordered many of these custom pins. These 10 will be given away for free, but if you missed the event, you can also still purchase one off my Etsy shop! (Link is on the DA post of this giveaway)

Can I claim more than one pin? No. Your claim to a free pin is for only ONE pin. You cannot ask for more than one, even if it's for a friend or family member. If they want a pin, they also have to participate, or buy one off my Etsy.

And that is it! You can be one of 10 people to claim a pin! Once all 10 claims are filled, I will close this giveaway by deleting this A/N. Remember! If you miss the giveaway, you can still purchase one off my Etsy (link to Etsy is on the DA link of this giveaway)

This is my gift to you, my readers. I am so proud of this fic, and I wanted to thank my readers. It may seem like a fairly average number of reviews, watchers and followers, but I'm damn proud of it and all the work I have put into it.

And if this pin project goes well, I will likely have a pin series made for other fics, such as Snakebite. And if the pin sales go well, I will consider making it my Etsy shop staple, and hold contests for pin designs.

Thank you to all of my readers, and I wish you the absolute best of luck! If you have any questions, please contact me!

Much love to everyone!
