Weekly Raffle
This week's raffle winner is:
Fluff (#41104)
Who had 51 crystals out of 20,135 total and won a Leaf Harmonica!
Congratulations!
Next week's winner will receive 3 SP! This is a great opportunity to earn some of those elusive paws!
I also have some other important announcements for you!
There was a teensy weensy problem with the Golden Basket Charm where it would basically disappear after being used, and the culprit was those pesky charges. We changed the item to be one-use BUT credited each charm owner with individual GBCs for how many unused charges you had. If you were in the group of folks that lost your item and have not yet had a refund, please PM me with the associated breeding details and I will take care of it.
I'm also a big poophead and neglected to announce that we do have an updated prompt for the Story Game, so get those fingers ferociously typin' if you want a chance at a cool prize! Entries close Friday at 11:59 PM.
As one last little note, my inbox is a giant hot mess right now.
If you haven't had a reply from me yet, you should be receiving that tomorrow or Saturday at the latest.
(Please remember you can go to moderators for general questions and assistance!)

Tokens + Custom Reminders
Site Update
The Custom Tokens in the Trash Shop have been given a serious price bump. I know price increases are never fun, but I think we can all agree that being able to get a pet with 75% edits for 1 GP isn't quite right.
And while I'm here, I'd like to remind everyone that glows, transparency, and clipped on accessories/clothing still count as edits, and thus are not allowed on Metals.
This pet is okay for Metal:
These pets, however, would NOT be okay:
I'd also like to make sure everyone knows that the Personal Custom Queue now allows you to cancel your own pet submissions! If you submit an image only to realize you submitted the wrong image, had a white background, coloring errors, or any other mistake, you can cancel it yourself instead of having to PM me.

GCC Design Clarification
Items
Because this has been inquired... no, your requested design doesn't have to be of a GCC species. It can be anything you want. Whether you happen to just want a gold level Xaoc to stare at or you want a gold level raw pet, it's up to you...

GCC Promotion
Items
God we are so unloved and hated sawb sawb
Out of all the crystals bought from the GP Shop, the GCC is probably the most unloved, with SCCs and BCCs far more loved than them. As an experiment, I'd like to make a special offer (for the month, depending on how it goes): Gold Custom Crystals bought from the GP Shop will come with a free gold-level design.
You won't get full control of the complimentary design (to prevent it being stressful on the new GCC artist team) but you'll get to put some input into what kind of design you want by being offered this form to fill out:
Species:
Keyword: Just one word! Zombie, steampunk, space... anything you want.
2-3 Colors:
The new GCC team is excited to get working and I have a method to track GCCs bought from the GP Shop, so expect a PM in your inbox if you purchase a GCC, and I hope you enjoy your complimentary design. If you don't like your design, it's still yours so you can sell it if you want :)

Colorists wanted
Pets
STEALS THIS IMAGE FROM ERI TOO
Pet coloration artists are needed again. I remade the thread since the other one was fairly old. Pay is also no longer based on number of designs for new colorists, but rather on quality of work.
Feel free to apply if you'd like to give it a shot.

Meteor Incoming!!
Site Update
This meteor comes close to Ay every year in its travels. It seems like many species flock to this strange place during the week it is close and take on a strange appearance.
Welcome to The Lunar Meteor!
This is a very special region created by Michi (#716) through a prize voucher.
The Lunar Meteor will be near Ay only during the week of August 13th - August 20th, but it will come back each year. :) It is an open location, so anyone can access it!
(Yes, we're starting the star party a few hours early.)
It seems that strange spacey, astrological pets can be found around the meteor...
Though it is devoid of monsters, at least this time around.
There are also ten space-themed gatherables for you to collect!
Here's just a few that you'll find:
If you collect all ten, turn them in at the museum.
You will be rewarded with this shiny Star Ticket:
A Star Ticket is like the platinum class of Raffle Crystals.
At the end of the week, after the location closes and the collection retires, I will be holding a couple raffles for starry items, including a Bottled Starlight! How do you enter? Just have one of these tickets in your inventory (though you can sell yours if you want)!
Want to dress up your HA so that it looks a little more fitting for a starry scene?
The Seasonal Shop is now stocking ten HA items with a space theme!
If you're more of a foodie, you might enjoy some delicacies that are out of this world!
(Also stocking in Lorin's shop!)
Enjoy the stellar festivities!
And thank Michi for bringing this new region to Ay!
HAVE FUN.
