Custom Helpers Wanted
Site Update
Earlier today we rapidly cleared the entire custom queue to start "fresh" with an empty queue. As a result, please be aware that you should not judge whether a custom was necessarily appropriate for that item based on whether it passed or not - only egregiously unacceptable pets were rejected from the queues to make for this fresh start.
(EG: If a custom passed under Blue CC today, don't assume that future customs made on those lines will.)
Applications for the volunteer job of custom queue helper are available here. We will need volunteers to help with the overlays so Graymare can process customs faster now that we have the queue down to zero.
Provided we get reliable helpers, we should be able to keep the queues moving quickly. Anyone interested is encouraged to apply for the job.

Cross Site Trading: PSA
Site Update
This is another PSA about cross site trading (trading Aywas content for content on other sites).
There is a rising amount of scamming being done regarding cross site trading. This generally involves trade with a site that does not have very good customer service for scams.
If you are doing any trading for Aywas stuff, tell the person with the Aywas content to send it first. If they are offering you GP, items, pets, etc. for your off-site stuff, you must ask them to send it first for both parties to be completely protected. Otherwise, if you send your off-site items/pets/etc first, and that person does not have the content to send you, you will not be able to receive any assistance from Aywas Staff.
Unfortunately a number of sites do not protect their users or recover scammed materials so make sure you get your Aywas content in your account first before you send off any offsite content.
Aywas staff CANNOT HELP YOU if you lose your stuff offsite. And if the offsite staff is not helpful, you will lose out completely. Be proactive and trade safely by asking for Aywas content first.

Painted Errors Thread
Comics
There is now a Breeding Mistakes thread specifically for the PLBC and PMBC. It can be found here in the Breeding Chat. If you have any issues with your PLBC or PMBC breedings, post there to have it brought to the attention of the moderator filtering the requests.
The Knowledge Base has been updated to reflect this.

Let the Love Letters fly!
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 2nd. 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 (adventure, 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.)
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!
New this year: 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!

Welcome to February!
Site Update
Welcome to the fabulous month of February!
Though February is a few days short of the other months, we'll make sure it's packed with goodies. :3
Let's kick off this lovey-dovey time of year with some GP Shop pets that are eager to cuddle with you!
Along with some BP Shop snugglers who will stay by you throughout all of your movie/TV binge-watching!
If you colored one of these awesome 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!
The Essence of February 2015 was created in honor of grapefruit month!
Using this potion on your active pet will randomly change it into one of the colors above. Try a swig of this sweet juice and see what you get!
As you also might've guessed by now, our overarching theme for the monthly essences this year is food. :3
The premium monthly item is in transit with a bundle of love letters, so I will let you know as soon as it arrives. I think you guys will like it. *u*
Have a party, it's your birthday!
We are on our twelvth Lunaris in the celtic tree zodiac series.
The Rowan Lunaris is currently reigning over the skies through February 17th, then a new birthday feline will take over!
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!

Love Letters: Coming soon to a lair near you!

There will be an announcement when it's safe to bombard one another with our favorite red and pink envelopes! And if you have no idea what I'm talking about because this is your first Valentine's Day with us, stay tuned!
With lots of platonic love, as always,
- Eri
