Hey Disney comic fellows.
I'm currently running a small raffle contest so I can put together an even BIGGER contest for the Darkwing Duck fans (which you're all invited to participate in if you're interested... it'll involve plenty of comic-related prizes!)
But I digress. I'm raffling off a print that was drawn and signed by James Silvani at San Diego Comic Con 2011 (this print: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dJ_MLptMjqQ/TiNfPTxmmII/AAAAAAAAAe8/ChwhZbCgw5w/s1600/Heroescon-Print.jpg). If anyone is interested in participating, here's how it'll work:
How to win:
1. Donate an amount of money and your name will be entered into the raffle. You'll be assigned a 'ticket' number. You can receive multiple tickets to increase your chances of winning.
2. On May 1st I'll pull a ticket number. The winner will receive the print!

Hello Malarity,
I'm hesitant to keep the message above where you ask people for money, because of the risks associated with these kind of propositions. For now I decided to remove the link to the webpage where people may send money and keep the rest of your post, to give us a bit more time to think.
I don't think that your post is a scam at all, but it's always difficult to make sure that it's not, so I'd be happy to hear from others here whether it's OK to allow these kind of messages.
If we decide that it's not, then I apologise in advance for not allowing you to post a legitimate message on this forum.

That's okay. I had a feeling it would come off as kind of shady on a forum where people aren't familiar with my contests. I typically only advertise around the Darkwing fandom, since that's where people know me best, but I thought I'd try and extend it outward to the other Disney Duck fandoms.
To give you a background history: I run Negaverse.net and the Old Haunt forum (which is for Darkwing Duck discussion, although all Disney-related topics are welcome). I get a hold of cool prizes because when I go to the comic cons I hang out with Aaron Sparrow and James Silvani, and I purchase a lot of stuff from James' booth as prizes for contests.
If you guys want to do a bit of research into the history of the contests I've run, you can check out these links where I've advertised and people have legitimately received prizes from my contests:
http://malarity.deviantart.com/journal/?offset=10#/d4ph8ez This was the biggest contest I ran, where I played a number of Darkwing episodes on livestreams and participants were quizzed on various trivia based around the episodes. This was my first time running such a large contest and it went extremely well! I'm currently planning another contest of the same nature, but due to the fact collecting prizes and mailing them off is quite costly, I decided to garner interest and bring in some money through donations (hence the raffle).
In any case, there is no expectation where people HAVE to donate. Even if people don't donate, everyone is welcome to participate in the next livestream contest, so if there's folks here who want to win some cool stuff but aren't too savvy about dropping any cash, no worries!

James Silvani has posted here a few times. Why not simply ask him about this?
EDIT: Oh, and I wish Disney would get Darkwing Duck out on DVD here in Denmark.
