Lunar Meteor Viewing
Site Update
Some new critters have been spotted on the Lunar Meteor!
Also, don't forget to Wish Upon a Star before the Lunar Meteor leaves for your chance at winning your favorite site pet. :3
Since this weekend is optimal viewing for the region, I would suggest keeping an eye on the Donation Box and the skies--random prizes just might start falling. *wink*

Books, books, and books
Items
We've so far been able to publish a lot of books through the Library feature! We hope the authors of the site are having a lot of fun with this new feature.
Remember, the most common reason for rejection is not having your submission left-justified. Use the "Preview" tool to make sure it looks the way it should.
How many of you have been restocking the books in the Library? As for authors, how are your royalties doing? We recently barred books from showing up as prizes during Cooking so they should be obtained through restocking, for the most part.

Library Knowledge Base Updated
Site Update
The Library's knowledge base article has been updated.
Common issues seen so far: no left justification, misuse of quotation marks, submission not Aywas-related.

Library
Site Update
All literary folks rejoice, the Library has been opened!
The building has been in disarray for a long time, preventing players from submitting Aywas-related stories and getting them published. It was planned to be one of our main features and we're glad we finally have it functional.
How it works:
Write a story (after reading the Knowledge Base for the rules), submit your story, and if it is accepted, it will be turned into a readable item on Aywas.
Your story can be read through the Library's reading feature and players can restock your book in the Little Book Store. For every sale made, you get a royalty, ensuring you small but reoccurring funds over your time on Aywas.
Enjoy!

New SCC artist!
Site Update
pathos (#53487) has been added to our Official SCC artist listing!
Click here for more information on official SCC commissions!
Additionally, I wanted to clarify something real quick about the SCC artist position.
I've had a few people ask me recently if we are taking silver artist applications, but we are not currently hiring (I'll make a news announcement any time we are looking to expand the team with new artists).
Pathos is joining us from the PBC team. :3 Any PBC artist can elect to be added to the SCC team at any time, and that's what he has done. So, that's why you'll see me add new people to the team during times when we're not actively hiring.
Hope that makes sense!
Enjoy the Pathos art. n_n <3
