Site Update
Raffle Crystal Winner
Marjo #5741
Prize: $50 in on-site art vouchers, which can be used to pay artists for designs/pet images
This week's prize: 4x Pacifier (one for each hybrid!)
Shiny Potion
Since we don't release uncommon pets often that aren't part of a theme, let's roll around with glee at these four new uncommon pets, that can be found from the Shiny Potion in the advent calender today!
Shiny Potion
The Shiny Potion's pets may be wiped from it in the future and loaded with new pets (flexibility!!). So you can either use it for these four, or wait until more show up. Woo!
Hope that you get your favorite, but if you don't, trade someone for theirs! c:

Aywas Going Offline!
Site Update
At about 10PM (Aywas Time) the website will be going offline. By about 12-1AM (Aywas Time) some of you will start to see the site again, while others it can take a few more hours while the transition over to our new hosting platform takes place. While we are offline, I will be putting Pacman once again, just to keep everybody occupied.
So don't panic, we won't be gone for long!! Be ready for a couple neat new things once we do come back though ;)

Babby Day
Site Update
Babby Day
Today is Babby Day, where we celebrate all the mothers and fathers who have brought life into this world. Life is a beautiful thing, and we haven't done anything to appreciate it - but now we will.
But first, before we get into what items and pets are available for today, I want to tell you something. In the first few months of Aywas existence, I came across a rant thread made by Springdragon. In it, he told the Aywas community that his cat needed an operation, and that he didn't have the money - so the cat was going to die. Upon seeing that, I decided to run an event to raise money for Springdragon so that his cat may live. By selling some custom-colored hybrids, we raised the money. Springdragon's cat is still with him, and Springdragon's life was changed by all of those who participated. Our community had the power to do this.
See, our site is not like the others. We read the forum threads and care about the people behind the accounts. One of our users, Dana, has kept the Aywas community informed of a tragic situation throughout the year and a half Aywas has been online - she has PCOS, a reproductive disease that kept her from conceiving. But months later, something amazing happened: with the right medical attention, she was able to conceive a baby, no matter how much it seemed she would not be able to. But her fight is not over. In rant threads, she has told the community there are financial problems in her life that will make her and her husband's life tough.
Just like with Springdragon, our community has the power to help her, as she has helped the community. Our goal, beyond all other things, is to help people. We are not a faceless company that only cares about money. We are a family, a community, and when one of our community members needs our help, and the time is right that we can offer it, we help.
Can we help everyone? No - we would go broke, and we would be unable to help anyone. However, if we can help one person, then we're reaching our goal. If we can help two, that is even better. In the future, we'll help three. Four. Five. Making a difference in the lives of a few people is a huge part of what we stand for. It is what makes us different. It is what makes our community special and caring. We are a family, and we help each other.
Today is about honoring the parents onsite. All of you are special, and have brought life into the world - or are about to, and that's a beautiful thing. We chose today for Babby Day, the day that Dana told the Aywas community she'd have her baby shower, but this day is about all of us.
We are releasing these special Baby Hybrid alternate linearts:
One costs $25.00 via PayPal, and upon submitting your transaction, you will get a Pacifier item to submit your custom. The customs are "metal-only," no lineart changes. Why is it cash only? Half of the proceeds will be given to Dana, to help her, like we did for Springdragon, and half of the proceeds will be given to the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Association, Inc. so that we can reach beyond our community and help as many people as we can, no matter how small our contribution may be. Anyone who purchases one of these customs will know they made a difference in the life of one fellow member, and in the lives of many unknown people that deserve their help.
However, as you may have noticed, this is not all we have released today. In the Seasonal Shop are a whole bunch of awesome new items and pets, available for BP:
Pretty pretty pets!
Some of the many awesome items in there, including maternity clothes!
In addition to this, if you visit the Advent Calender at any time today, you will pick up a Babby Bag. In it, you'll find an item to change your active pet randomly into one of the Baby Day pets (Babby Potion), a ticket to the twenty five Pacifier raffles (Pacifier Ticket), and a Derp Breeding Coin so you can submit for your own babbys. C:
Neat stuff inside!
If you are a mother or father who has brought a baby into this world during the time Aywas has (and will be) around, feel free to contact us for a Pacifier of your own. You are all special to us.
Today is a day for joy, and to celebrate life - and most of all, today is a day for hope... For any of you out there who struggle with PCOS or any other fertility problem, look at Dana and know that you can succeed. You can bring a new life into this world. There is always hope, no matter how bleak the situation looks. All of us here at Aywas offer you our best wishes and our support. You can do it.
Happy Babby Day!!

Saturday Explore Pets
Pets
'Bout that time again, eh chaps!
(righto)
Next week's 10-GP-per-colouration pets are the Chromo, Oske, Maki and, additionally, the Oakl! The latter may or may not be Slash's attempt to stop me asking for hybrids, I'm not sure. *pokerface*
Roll up, roll up, get your PSDs here and have some fun colouring more pets for me to release next Saturday.
Happy hunting!
