It's time to finally announce the winners of the Free Custom Game!
I am extra excited to bring you these results because this is the first time I was able to run the winners myself.
Usually I have to bug Slash to run news raffle winners for me because it was one of those pesky things that I didn't know how to do, but the good news is that he taught me how, so I'll be able to run these little babies on my own now!
Without further ado, here are our winners!
1................................................2................................................3
Draiz & Silv (#1368)................................................Cyvul (#21512)................................................lulucat (#21815)

Art Gallery
Site Update
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Famine in honor of our reigning Apocalypse Unus and we received a lot of well-done and interesting entries that really brought the character to life. Here are our six winners:
For their submissions they won:
The current running art gallery theme is Valentine's Day!
It is also a starred theme, meaning that even if you were a winner in the last few weeks, you're still eligible for this one. :3 Good luck!

Space Marine Veteran's Day!
Site Update
Brought to you by Nyoko (585) and a Slashbot!
Ladies, gentlemen, and extraterrestrial lifeforms, today we honor Space Marine Veteran's Day. It is on this day that we preemptively honor the deaths of our Aywan space soldiers against the alien hoard in the far dystopian future. Let us remember the day of our solemn victory in advance, and remember our unborn decedents and what they will probably sacrifice for their freedom. Also, it's commemorating the birthday of some little punk named Nyoko, but who cares.
Let the Space Marine Veteran festivities begin!
Nyoko is running a pretty rad story contest here! If the prospect of ridiculous galactic wars wasn't inspiring enough, she's dangled this pretty space creature as an extra incentive for the winner:
In true Aywas celebratory fashion, we are releasing a smorgasbord of goodies!
You'll find everything from food to fauna to collectables and even clothing now stocking in the BP Shop for today only!
The most coveted of these galactic trinkets is the Mysterious Chemical Injection, which will change your active pet into one of these colorations!
And what Slashbot Event could go off without an awesome free silver pet!
Free Space Kitten SCCs
Click to Enter!
The thread has a link to the PSD as well as rules for submissions.
Have fun coloring and be sure to get your kittens in by February 16th at 3 a.m.!
Happy Space Marine Veteran's Day!
Be sure to thank Nyoko for putting on this event for us and enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day--part II!
Site Update
We will be having a Love Spectacular Finale during the 24 hours prior to the Seasonal Shop closing next week. I'll be hosting little raffles, contests, giving out some random online prizes and will also be adding some limited items to the Seasonal Shop that day. So that's something fun to look forward to! I'll give you more details about that as the day gets closer, so send those letters out in the meantime!
What would Valentine's Day be without some super cutesy clothing?
It's time to reveal the newest collections to hit the fashion scene around Ay! Introducing the Pretty Pink and Heart collections with a couple standalones, all of which will be permanently restocking in various shops. Here's a sampler of what's in store!
In true Aywas Seasonal Shop tradition, we're also bringing you some specialty HA items--all created by you!
The Trinket Box opens into a full set of stuffed animals, neck accessories and holdables all depicted here:
Next up is a pile of Pink Silk Sheets that, when given to the right hands, can probably be turned into some pretty stunning clothing.
When you use this item, you will receive a full set of these pinkilicious items!
If you're looking for a more sultry statement, then the Rose Petals might be for you!
When you run naked through these falling petals, you will suddenly find yourself covered not in flowers, but some revealing nighties and accessories~ The set includes a light pink set for perky fun and a dark set for unspeakable mischief!
And finally, for our more modest lovers, we have the Love Grows Wardrobe.
This classic wardrobe transports us back to 1930s clothing classics to give your HA modest appeal for their date or a day around town! When you open these dusty doors, you will receive the complete classic love set!
Not so keen on frilly pink things or Valentine's Day?
Then show off your angst by sporting some pieces from our new Emo and Dark Heart clothing collections--both permanently available in the shops around Ay. This is just a small sampling of some of the new black and red items you'll be seeing on a HA near you!
Awww, it looks like these pets aren't having such a great holiday. Why not go on a little Adventure to find them and maybe give them a new home to be happy about?
But you better be quick! They're probably going to go into hiding after the V-day week festivities end.
Incoming Adore-a-gram for you!
Oh, hello! :3 I just wanted to let everyone know that I delivered a gift for you all to collect any time on February 15th. Just visit the Advent Calendar any time tomorrow to claim your prize!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Site Update
Alright, you can come in now, but don't knock anything over! I seem to constantly be picking up fallen petals.
The Seasonal Shop is now officially open!
It will be open until February 22nd at 11:59 PM. Remember, you can still collect and send Love Letters throughout the week, so I expect to see a pink blur from now until then!
Even though I'm very happily taken, I still enjoy long strolls in the wee hours of the morning with you folks, so let's take a walk through the seasonal shop together and ogle the goodies. <3
Our first stop this year is to the Kissing Booth!
Using this item unlocks one of our more romantic achievements. *wink*
Taking a brief detour to the BP shop, you'll find a new item stocking there for a limited time!
Tell everyone how much you enjoy music by unlocking a forum title with your new Heartphones!
Already used your Love Letters or want to send something a little extra? Then you might be interested in the Cupcake Card.
This is a silly little item that you can send to another user to let them know you're thinking of them and that they are as sweet as can be, so you might want to put a few away for a rainy day when your friends can use some cheering up.
If you're looking for something to really sink your teeth into, unfortunately I'm fresh out of cupcakes, but I do have these other delectable delights ready for tasting!
See a food item here that you can't find in the Seasonal Shop? That means it is permanently in circulation and obtainable elsewhere. Enjoy!
Why not give your pet a special treat that they can't eat (well, hopefully they don't) with this adorable Lovebird fauna!
They'll never be lonely with this sweetly singing bird by their side!
In honor of Valentine's Day, we are also adding a few new things to the Trash Shop so that you can show your love and friendship toward one another all-year 'round. Introducing the Heart Balloon, Basket of Flowers, and Be Mine Teddy.
These items have no "use" beyond making someone feel good, but I'm pretty sure that's worth more than a lot of our functional items, so I hope you take advantage of them at some point.
Fancy settling down and reading this Love Story with me? It's a good one, so grab a Love Latte and pull up a chair!
This is a brand new breeding add-on that will give you cutesy offspring. :3
It is compatible with MBC, LBC, BC and HBC breedings. All offspring produced from a breeding with this add-on can have a Valentine/cutesy color palette and the babies from BC/HBC breedings can have the bonus of Valentine/cutesy edits!
Come on, Eri, enough with the gooey love stuff, where's some practical items?
I'm glad you asked, because we have a new battle set this year, but you'll have to work with me here since Cupid had to have his hands in it. Introducing the Enchanted Bow and Heartwing Shield, handy tools on the battle field.
Love Potion #9 has returned this year with some old, familiar faces as well as new ones that are in need of lovin'! This potion allows you to create customs on special Valentine's Day lines and gives you up to 50% edit room. The Melo and Oske lines are still available (here), but we're adding two new genuses to the gang!
Meet your new V-Day Kaba and Phanto lines!
(Click the images below to download the corresponding PSDs.)
Mauri was having a little too much fun in the staff break room and somehow these emerged, so here are a couple coloring examples. Have fun making your own!
Now onto site pets!
Yes, there are a lot to collect, but when you see them all, I think you'll be glad you have the chance to own some of these beauties. Don't forget that even though these pets are AD, they are still obtainable with MPTs, Glittering Rocks, etc.
The Rose Potion will turn your active pet into one of 10 possible hybrids.
Here's a few examples of what could bubble up out of the potion:
The Floral Perfume is a potion that will turn your active pet into either an uncommon, raw or token pet with 8 colorations available. Here's a few of them!
There are a whopping 18 pets for you to also collect in the Seasonal Shop.
However, I did you a favor and bottled them all up in this cute Lovespell Potion which can be found sitting pretty in the Trash Shop to help you with your pet-collecting endeavors.
Here are a few of the pets hanging out in the Seasonal Shop and the Lovespell Potion!
But whoa whoa! *stomps feet* Eri, where are all the clothes!? Where are the rings? You're holding out on us!
Teehee. Yes, yes I am.
Advent Prize, Clothes, wardrobes, Engagement Rings and other big-ticket items still to come in PART II of our Valentine's Day spectacular!
If you know there's something you really want and it's already in the seasonal shop, go for it, they won't be changing prices!
If you want to wait until everything is available to make your buying decisions, then sit tight until this evening.
I'm sure you can find something to keep you busy, like sending more Love Letters and coloring Kabas.
Have fun for me while I'm at work and make sure you spend time with someone you care about whether it's a boyfriend/girlfriend, a family member, coworker, friend, or even a stranger. Everyone can benefit from good company. :3
Happy Valentine's Day!
I really hope you enjoy the festivities, a lot of heart went into this. <3

V-Day Construction Ahead!
Site Update
*coughs and crawls out from under a pile of rose petals*
We're busy bees behind the scenes getting a shop of love set up for everyone to enjoy! The shop will be going up some time today and we'll probably be breaking the news post up into two sections--that's how much lovely stuff we're buried under. Remember, if you see things going into the Seasonal Shop before the announcement, DO NOT purchase them, as they are subject to change prior to official release via the news.
If you're antsy about what's coming up, you can get a little sneak peek on the Welcome Back page. :3

Super Happy Fun Explore Times!
Pets
Good afternoon my little cherubs! Hasn't it been a while? Some heartless so-and-so who shall not be named Erienne oh gosh my traitorous fingers dragged me from my little cave of solitude in order to fill for Mauri this weekend. I promise to take good care of you and employ only a minimal amount of inappropriate eyebrow-waggling throughout.
Next week's pets are the Gael, Insi and Melo!
Don't forget that if you dedicate your time to colouring any of these little fellas over the next week, you'll earn a tasty 10 GP instead of the usual 3 GP per. Need a refresher on our incentive scheme? Visit here! Want to just get stuck in to colouring? Grab your PSDs here!
Finally, if you coloured any of the above beauties, be sure you swing by Kyu and Mauri of #1010 to pick up a copy of your pet.
Au revoir! :D
*waggle*
