OH GOD IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN
WHEN NONE OF US GET ANY SLEEP...
That's write!* It's time for NaNoWriMo 2010!
What is NaNoWriMo? It is National Novel Writing Month. This is when you spend all of November torturing yourself! HOW, YOU ASK? By writing a 50,000-word novel in one month! Sounds fun, write?* Essentially you write 1,667 words a day and you're GOLD!
There's a NaNo board that magically appeared in the Creativity forum to help put on the peer pressure to finish your work. ^_^
There are even some cool prizes for writing your beast, just to incentivize you (as if peer pressure wasn't enough, psh).
So, go prepare yourself for this month of mental torture, writing mayhem, and complete awesomeness. Believe me, there's no better feeling than OH GOD IT'S NOVEMBER 30TH I STILL HAVE 5,000 WORDS TO WRITE then finishing on time, and you're like...hey... I have a novel in this Microsoft Word document. Holy crap.
Pretty awesome, sir.

A couple breeding announcements...
Site Update
Hey all, just a few things before I'm back to making more work-lists for artists and answering my tons of emails/PMs/board queries.
Mauri (#1010) has updated the Breeding Tutorial and you should all go check it out! There's a few things that will still need to be tweaked down the line but she made it nice and shiny for now and it's a lot more up to date. There should be less questions on certain topics and issues regarding the breeding sector now.
I also put the applications for LBC and BC artist on-site as per a suggestion by a user, and you can access them under Breeding Chat, here and here respectively. Apps are, of course, still open, and I've been trying to respond to them today as well (I think I went through a good handful thus far). So if you requested one and I didn't get back to you because I'm a lame derp of an admin, you can just snag that, fill it out, and send it in to bypass all of the extra paperwork.
As per usual, if there are any questions don't hesitate to PM me!

Saturday Explore Pets
Pets
I haven't yet heard of any progress on explore, thus, I'm opening it back up so you can enjoy these new Saturday pets.
If the lag becomes too much to bear we may close it down intermittently until the lag dies down, then open it back up again, etc.
I also put these pets in the Trash for Treasure shop:
These will be in there until November 6th.
BTW, for those of you who know deadmau5, I went to his concert last night and it was awesome. I have a lot of front row pictures if you wanna see in a Junk Pile thread or something. =D

Explore being redone
Site Update
We have come to the conclusion that Explore causes a lot of the lag on the site (along with some minor things that we are looking into now). Because of this we will be spending tonight and tomorrow recoding explore from the ground up.
Read more here and suggest your changes to the explore system...

Spirit Day
Pets
I just now found out that October 20 was dubbed "Spirit Day," meant to remember those who were bullied by those who are anti-GLBT. The day is almost over but I still think we should do something for it.
So, for a full 24 hours (from now until tomorrow at 11:59 PM) you can submit up to two purple custom designs to this thread, one for you and one for a friend to be received for free. Please note the customs should have 20% or less lineart edits and the customs must be purple and common species.
