It's Winter time!

Hello, hello! It's the last month of the year! That means a mixture of different winter seasonal holidays are going to be happening back to back. Many people will be busy this time of year, so we're keeping things light and easy for everyone. This means that the monthly prompt will not request a background this month so it can be more easily fitted into people's schedule!

There's also an event this month, new GAs (to be announced on the 5th), and general updates on what's next!

Let's kick everything off, as per usual, with Saps of the Month!

Saps of the month!

Drawing these characters for the gift art prompt will net you a bonus in baby stars! If you want your Sap to show up as a Sap of the Month, please make sure to have them set as "gift art yes" in their profile settings. c:

ALSO, next month is also a start to a new year. This means that we will start allowing repeats on SotM. So there's a small chance that saps you have seen throughout the year will reappear next year. Though, Saps will not appear twice during the same calendar year.

Anyways, this month we have:

SMYO-213: Azdana the Blade Forger

SMYO-220: Liam

SMYO-517: Cyra

SMYO-387: Aurora Celeste

Event time!

We're hosting an Advent Calendar this year! So instead of a code for newsletter readers, we have a daily check in you can do for bonus!

December 2024

There's some goodies from holiday user icon boarders to rare magical trait items! Check in daily to collect them all! There's a bonus item if you collect all 31 days of December.

Don't worry about saving the calendar link. You can quickly get to it from the navigation bar. (Might be a few days before it's added, but will be up soon)

Guest Artist voting is underway

Voting is still currently taking place, there will be a second newsletter this month to announce them along with a ping in the discord server! Stay tuned if you've applied!

The announcement will be on the 5th

December Prompt!

I'm finishing up some art work for the promo image of the prompt for this month, so that will be up in the coming days. 

With that said, the prompt will have some extra time added to it, not only for the delay but also to account for the holidays.

Upcoming News and general updates 

• There is some exciting news in the works, we're been working hard on getting things ready. You'll be heading more about this portion of news this month and next. 
• Did you know the species is almost a year old now? The site was made on February 22nd and the species opened up in March! Maybe someone special will happen around those dates...
• Take care and have fun this holiday season!

A note from Hack: The last bit of this was edited on mobile. Formatting errors and typos will be checked and fixed soon. I didn't want this letter to be sent out late. 💚💚💚
