Site Update
We're in need of a few more entries for our Background Mash-ups theme this week, so you have until June 2 at 11:59 p.m. to get any last-minute submissions in! Remember, your task is to combine two or more Ay/Ara background or location settings, such as Wasteland + Enchanted Forest or the Arctic + Desert. Any medium is acceptable, but official Aywas stock is not permitted.
Good luck!
I also just wanted to give you all a heads up that the huge monthly news post will be coming later on this evening, as I am attending a celebration of life/memorial service for one of my family members today.
Thank you!

Painted Pen Reminder
Site Update
Hello folks! This is a gentle reminder to be sure to follow the description of the Painted Pen.
This Painted Lesser/Metal Breeding Coin add-on will let you name three currently known artists you approve of having your breeding assigned to... or three you'd rather not be assigned to!
Be sure you put three artists you want, or three artists you don't want. Lately I've been having to cancel breedings that put less than three artists (especially "I only want ___" type messages), or who mix and match the options with "I want A and B, but not C".
I have also had to reject breedings that list artists not on the team. Remember you can grab the names of the artists off the Knowledge Base articles for each Painted Coin respectively.
Both queues move fairly fast, but it's still not fun to lose your place, so please be sure to follow the Pen rules!
If you absolutely want to pick one artist for your breeding, you can always use an Artist Ticket! You just have to send it to me instead of Frey.

Breeding Mistakes Reminder
Site Update
With miss Mauri still out of the country, I was instructed to give you all a reminder about the Breeding Mistakes thread!
Babies born after September 13, 2013 can be posted in the thread until June 6th.
After June 6, the thread adopts the original policy of only allowing babies less than a month (30 days) old to be posted.
Remember to get those babies posted by June 6th at 11:59 p.m. :3
(And please thoroughly read the first and second post in the thread before posting any babies.)
Thank you!

New Flag + Reminder
Site Update
An Intersex Pride Flag has been added to the BP Shop!
(Thank you for the request/suggestions; our apologies for not originally including this representation.)
This one is in the BP Shop because it was not part of the original stock, and we did not want anyone to miss out on it if they had already spent their points. It will be available through May 31st at 11:59 p.m.
The Cracked Teacups fundraiser closes tonight after 11:59 p.m.
As long as you contact me with your proof and/or questions by this time, you will be eligible for the item.
I appreciate your patience with me as I work on sending these out amid the other event festivities and site happenings.
Thank you!
