Calling Valentine's Day Card Designers!
Contests

If you loved passing out Valentines in grade school or just enjoy sending thoughtful cards, we hope you'll have as much fun with the Aywas version! We are developing an Aywas card designer and need your help supplying some of the artwork. :3
That's where this contest comes into play!
See the thread for full details, examples and rules.
Tentative deadline: February 13th at 11:59 p.m.
If this feature ends up going well, we can do something similar for other holidays, events and special occasions!

Speedy Breeding Tickets
Site Update
We wanted to give you a heads up that the Speedy Breeding Ticket's current use is being discontinued.
If you wanted to use this item for its current use for picking Drei or Mally as the artist for your HBC, BC, or LBC breeding, you have 24 hours to attach the add-on to your breeding and to specify which artist in the notes.
As for what it will do in the future... you'll have to wait and see! ;)

Love Letter Delivery!
Site Update





Delivery! Delivery!
The Adore-a-Gram Lunaris has returned for a couple of weeks to supply us with seemingly endless pink and red envelopes inked with sweet nothings~

It seems there will be a Love Letter waiting for everyone in the Advent Calendar on February 8th. How sweet!
Before you send your Love Letter zipping off through the Ay skies to a friend, a Valentine, or a stranger, pull up a chair and grab a Love Latte while I review how our annual mail event works. :3

Love Letter Event
Love Letters are sitting at a pretty R20 and can be found anywhere you can obtain R20 items (Ay adventure areas, cooking, dailies, etc.). They will also randomly pop up in the Random Crap shop.
(As always, we will monitor the numbers and make sure that the letters aren't being too shy!)
Each time you send a card to a unique user (meaning, to an account you haven't sent a card to yet), you AND the recipient will each receive 1 Valentine Point.
You will be able to spend these points in the Seasonal Shop on a bunch of sweet treats!
(Tentative date for opening the shop is February 14th, and Love Letters will be findable and deliverable until the shop closes--through the end of the month.)
To send a card to someone for Valentine Points, click on the Love Letter in your inventory and hit Use to bring up the prompt. We have a confirmation screen to ensure your letter reaches the correct destination safely!
Note: You must put some sort of message inside the letter, you cannot send a blank one.
*Please note: We have tested basic HTML (images, links, breaks) and all seem to be working properly!*



Point Breakdown & Tally
If I send you a card, we both get 1 point!
If you want to send me a card in return, we both get 1 point again! (Aww, you're a peach. <3)
So that is 2 points for each of us for a card swap.
In my blushing flurry and moment of overwhelming emotion, I might want to send you a second card. I can do so, but neither of us will receive any additional points. (I hope you still appreciate the thought! ;~;)
You can view the Love Letters you've received, along with points you've accumulated here.
You can also review the Love Letters you have sent to others here.



If you're looking for somewhere to arrange letter swapping and sending, try swinging by Aywas Talk!
Our Love Letter event runs purely on community participation and rewards you for sending sweet notes to your peers, so take advantage of the opportunity to make someone's day. :)
Good luck with your letter writing and envelope licking!

We will also be trying out a brand new Valentine's Day feature this year coming soon -- keep an eye out for details! If this goes well, we will be using it for future events throughout the year. n_n

Hiring Temporary USD Contracts!
Site Update
We are hiring temporary USD contracts for BC/HBC/EBC and LBC breedings. The contract will last approximately 1-2 lists.
If you're interested, please send in an application for the desired team to [email protected]
Alternatively, if you've previously been a part of a BC-type team or a LBC team and have examples (parents + baby images) of your work, that will suffice too.
This offer is only available for a short time, so please send in an application or examples quickly if you're interested!

Welcome to February!
Site Update

Welcome to the fabulous month of February!
With it being leap year, we get an extra day of lovefest goodness this time around. n_n Let's kick off this month with our usual parade of pets!
Shower our adorable GP Shop pets with some love! :3















And don't forget to dote on our precious BP Shop pets too!















If you colored one of these fun pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-February) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
Special Note: If you created a love-themed pet that was not accepted, hang onto it! We may have an upcoming lovefest that could use it. *wink*

The Essence of February 2016 was inspired by Hera and the "tail" of a peacock. A sip of this beautiful liquid will transform your active pet into one of the monthly colorations above at random.

As you might already be aware, the premium monthly item is the Skill Swap! Read this post for more information.

Have a party, it's your birthday!
The Snow Moon Lunaris you see above will be reigning over the skies through the entire month of February; a new Lunaris will take over on March 1st.
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here! Missed your birthday Lunaris or picked up the wrong one? Contact Kyu (#1010)!

Art Gallery
Contests

The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Winter* and we received some chillingly fun entries!
Here are our featured winners:




They won:


Congratulations!
The current theme is Plushie*!
Any medium is acceptable as long as you showcase the theme and keep it Aywas-related as always. Crafting actual plushies is fine as is doing digital art or featuring one of our official Aywas plushies in a scene.
This is also a starred (*) theme, meaning you can enter it even if you've won recently or plan on entering upcoming contests.
Official Aywas stock is permitted for this theme.
Good luck!
We will also be announcing some new themes on Sunday, so if there's a theme you've always want to see (or want to see repeated!), share it with us here.
Thank you!
