SEPTEMBER 2022 NEWSLETTER

Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all. This month is pretty busy, we hope you enjoy what we have in store for you!

Fall Equinox Event:

To celebrate the start of fall we’ll be hosting an event this month! There will be 4 weeks of prompts/scavenger hunts for everyone to participate in!

Participating in this event will allow you to earn special currency that you’ll be able to use to purchase items from the event shop that’ll open at the end of the month!

The first week starts today [9/01/2022] and will end on the 3rd! Since this week is short there's no art prompt however we do a small scavenger hunt! There's one item and one gachapanion to find this week, it’ll be hidden somewhere in item descriptions, on staff members characters, staff profiles, or in prompt descriptions! Do not share the location of the item with anyone, if we find you breaking this rule we'll ban you from the rest of the event! We’ll be pinging the minor announcement role at the start of each week to notify everyone that the next set of items have been released! Please make sure to pick up that role in the discord server if you'd like a notification.

SEPTEMBER PROMPT:

This month’s theme is FAMILY! Draw and/or write about your Gachagon (and/or other keep species) enjoying time with their family! This does include found family, have fun!

The September prompt will last till September 30th!

RULES (ILLUSTRATED)

• Your illustration must be (at the least) a halfbody with a semi-scenic background! (We should be able to tell there's depth to the piece!)
• Your illustration must be, at the minimum, cleanly lined and colored!
• Your illustration MUST be submitted to the monthly prompt gallery! (As well as when submitting the prompt, you'll need to link to the gallery submission. Gallery submissions can still be linked to before official approval/while pending, so there should be no reason you can't link it when submitting your piece! Prompt submissions with outside links like Discord, sta.sh, etc. will be rejected.) 

RULES: (WRITTEN)

• Your written piece must be at the least 600 words long!
• Use paragraph breaks, it makes it much easier for our mods to read over!
• Your written piece MUST be submitted to the monthly prompt gallery!

CBC RULE UPDATE:

This is just to clarify the CBC rules since we've seen some confusion about them!

1. Characters cannot be a direct copy of their source material,  this isnt usually an issue when it comes to human -> gachagon designs but when it comes to characters that were already animals you will need to make sure they have distinct traits/markings. 
2. On the same topic as above that goes for gachapanions as well
3. You MUST tell us who the cbc is based off somewhere in your approval message, character name and series. if this is repeatedly ignored and we find out you will get a strike and potentially a ban from the species

MISCELLANY
