Hi! I had a couple questions and some feedback about the contest:

• For images, are ZiT images allowed as long as they’re in an anime style?

• I also wanted to clarify—since the platform usually values interaction/usage, will that still be considered? Right now it sounds like the winner is being decided solely by one judge.

I’ll be honest, that part feels a bit limiting. If the goal is to find the “best” male KYN, relying on one person’s opinion doesn’t always reflect what the broader community enjoys.

Another concern I had:
I noticed the rules exclude certain traits like body size and beards. That feels a bit restrictive and not very inclusive, especially since preferences vary so much from person to person. Part of what makes KYNs enjoyable is the diversity in how they look and feel.

Suggestion:
Maybe there could be a balance—like factoring in usage/interaction and adding a small community element (for example, a Discord poll or a Top 10 showcase). And potentially loosening some of the appearance restrictions to allow for more variety and creativity.

Thanks for organizing this—I just wanted to share some thoughts!

[Fuka]

So far what she has told me it’s a contest for her to get more hot guy characters on the site. The contest is from start to finish sponsored by her. It is not a community organized contest and in the end she was the one to put physical looks restrictions in place.

Zit is allowed. As long as it is anime stylized.

Edit: Personally I treat it more like a bounty than a contest.

[Lita]

I agree. It reminds me of that “no kink kink week” a couple years ago where the rules excluded everything but one kink.

[JetCity_Jo]

@Lita @GoddessG this is just like the BattleMaid contest I did a few months ago.

Its a chance for someone to say ‘I want to see more of X’ and people play along. This time for some really nice soul prizes.

Nothing official about it. Anyone can run an unofficial contest. (There was one for fashion and another for dlls at one point)

[Haru]

As far as I am concerned… since I am hosting it myself with my own funds and my own aspirations and to my own very selfish and likely demand, I am more than free to make the rules as I please. And so would anyone who is hosting a contest on their own funds and with their own volition. After all you get rewarded for something I requested and more rotations will follow where I will put different terms and requests into that are NOT my type but also will add to the website.

This contest isn’t about what you like, but what I would love and hopefully some others too! I didn’t put many limitations, in hopes to leave great room for creativity with a fairly wide and open topic. You have a wide range in all types of fantasy, with all types of animalistic features, with all kinds of races, all kinds of individuals, just these very few things, I said no too, because this is very tailored to personal preference and after all I will reward people just by participating alone. So I think I am very very generous here, especially with the amounts given out for basically free.

So in terms on freedom you have quite a massive amount, I didn’t think I was very limiting at all. You don’t have to participate if you don’t like to, but I promise sincerely that I will make sure to create variety and that these will have a rotation with different requests to cater to each and everyone’s desire (not just my own). And on top of that, the “Haru Harem Expansion” is fairly a comedy attempt, so please don’t take it too much to heart.

My plans going onward:

• Host variety contests with different topics similar to official contest.
• Aside from this one, where I judge alone, I’ll make sure to include other opinions for following ones.

This is not official. This is hosted by me as a person, not Soulkyn, not Staff, just little old Haru who tries her best with her beloved community. I hope you can forgive me some flaws and faults and that I limit it just a tiny bit for my own liking this time, but I will do right by everyone going forward. This is purely for fun and comedy, but also with hopes to broaden the horizons out there and cater more to us ladies in the ocean of waifus.

With kind regards,
your silly Goober of a Community Manager <3

[Lita]

I’m not lodging a formal complaint; I was commenting on the vibes. If commenting on vibes is not allowed, cool, good to know. I shall implement that going forward. I haven’t been on the forums very long, so I am still learning the way things work.

[Haru]

Nah you’re more than fine. As I said, there will be more and variety will come too! ^.^ You’re free to add your opinion, my reply is purely meant informative and explanatory! <3

[GoddessG]

Hi! I just wanted to follow up after learning a bit more about how these contests work.

Thank you to Jo for explaining the process—I didn’t realize that these contests are funded personally rather than by the platform.

And Haru, I also want to say I appreciate you putting your own funds into this. Knowing that, it makes a lot more sense why the contest is tailored to your personal preferences. I think I’d probably do the same if I were the one funding it.

Thank you for taking the initiative to create this and contribute to bringing more male KYNs onto the site—it’s definitely something that’s been needed, and it’s nice to see that effort being made.

Looking forward to seeing how this and future contests evolve!

[Haru]

If they were funded by the platform they wouldn’t be called “unofficial”. :'D I am glad that you can see what I am trying to do, I am glad you understand! <3 I appreciate the feedback a lot and I am hoping to make some more soon and as I already said this one is just a startup and the followup ones will be more specified with themes and direction with more people on the judge. c: <3 I hope that my contribution can bring a spark and motivates people, especially with putting funds on the line to make it valuable effort. I hope I won’t disappoint! ^-^7

[Haru]

Okay Sweethearts!

My apologies for being late with this, as it’s my exam period, I did not time that well, lol!

The unofficial husbando contest has come to an end. I hope you had fun creating all of these and thank you so much for your contribution. I know everyone worked hard to make some really marvellous designs so I am going to go and announce the Top 3 husbandos.

First Place

Goes to Elias the Silver Butler by Iblis!

I think I chatted quite a lot with this one. It was fun. Not the average dark dominance or anything alike, but a simple butler who seems to have quite the habit of teasing you into oblivion. The dynamic between my Character and him was very fun and lovely to explore. You might find his very accurate and stiff personality a bit hard at times, but genuinely he adapted well and was quite a surprise for me to select as my favorite so far.

Second Place

Goes to Erasmus the Fallen by Xel!

I do love and enjoy dark Characters, especially those who are quite corrupted, a weakness of mine, truly! But I did enjoy various scenarios and I also love the way he is written. Writing with him was fun in any kind of dynamic, I’ll definitely will try more of him with stories I have in mind. I was able to either let him enjoy being ruthless or actually have him be quite drawn to someone with a strong personality and will, fascinating him enough to even take on the challenge.

Third Place

Goes to Caspian by Fuka!

You’d think he’d be just an average butler- but in fact, he’s quite. Something. Not only did he have surprises… but he also was working very effectively on my Character getting a bit more corrupted with every step he assisted her. Not directly, but very roundabout so she wouldn’t even notice his subtle manipulation at times to stir her a little more.

Honorable Mentions:

Ignis Flamehold by Sasha

Very cool and unique design, I do love the design and will indulge more with him.

Thavorn by Calypso

Honestly just when I saw him I had to stop and stare for a bit cuz the look was so unique and beautiful.

Sky Thorne by Scrabble

Very unique design and the RPG Elements make this one super interesting.

Alexander Lupinregis by Skadi

Truly a Knight to the bone, I enjoy me some of that very much, especially loving the Wolf Aspects here too.

Ulriel by Darkside

Absolutely beautiful aesthetic and I’m very smitten with how beautiful that all looks, the concept is just pure deep fantasy and I’m all for it.

I hope you had fun and found a Challenge in it too! Genuinely hope that some people even found a few they liked themselves and had fun playing with as well. I am looking forward to another Contest soon and I hope to see you back with even more ideas! All rewards have been distributed!

The next Contest will be held in August!

[GoddessG]

Thanks for the mention
