May I ask how you pick winners from submissions?
Of course!~
There isn't a set rule or algorithm by which I select winners, especially for submissions. The sincerity I glean from the "about me" sections do make a difference. If a wishlist includes something I already have on hand or could get for someone with little difficulty, I may go ahead and get it. There are a number of different factors and aligning of planets involved.
But I make an effort to randomly draw at least one winner from the note pool and at least one from the submission list, by the gracious assistance of random.org.
Any extra prizes disbursed are at whim and by the size of my paycheck.
