the general rule with this is that while we have no issues running them, the staff member running it must be a pixelist that is willing to pixel the winning designs, or a staff member that has gotten the agreement of a pixelist that's willing to do the designs. we don't run user item designs without first having a pixelist lined up to bring the items to completion.

so typically, if we're having one, you'll see glitch running it.

in a similar vein and worth noting is that, from time to time, we have Slap-It events, run by myself or Francs, where users can request patterns or designs to go on a commons item or set that's been chosen to be the subject of the given Slap-It event. You'll find previous examples in Threads with the Snoozy pajama set, V-N-T shirts, and the original Slap It shirts.
