Pet Colorations Submission Forum
I gave the pet colorations submissions process a revamp. Now, all submissions are made to the pet's coloration thread. Go forth and make awesome colorations, thus making that forum very active. (:
Mauri (#1010) is in charge of that forum (though I might pop in from time to time). She will edit your posts with suggestions and accepting if the coloration is high quality.
Note that when submitting new colors, use the pet's newest lineart (which will be posted on the thread).
Also, artists, note that from this point forward, when you get to the 10th coloration accepted, you get 1 SP along with your GP reward. Note that this applies only to submissions via that forum, not via contests or commissions.

Copyright Design Information + Customs
Site Update
Something to pretty up the news post. 8D
Copyright Custom Designs
This is something you all need to know if you're making a design based off characters which are copyrighted.
1. If you have previously created a custom inspired by a character, you will still need to submit it at the Character Copyright Thread. If your design doesn't meet the 60% difference rule, you will be supplied with a Dawn Crystal to fix your design. This is elaborated further in the thread.
2. Any future designs that are going to be inspired by a character will need to be submitted for review at the thread.
If you fail to follow the copyright rules, you may have consequences to face, which may include the removal of your custom without refund. More information is detailed on the thread.
edit: There is a board now, which can be found here
Customs
The Request Customs thread, Unbreedable Customs thread and the Pet Resurrections thread are now up to date. If you didn't receive your pet, or an error was made, please contact me.
Sorry for the news spam and don't forget to read the other news posts below this if you haven't already.

Updates and Contest Results
Site Update
I want to let everyone know that the Birthday Thread is now open again! If you need the birth date on your account changed, please fill out the form and post (this does not apply to posts already on the thread, just ones from now on). Visark and I will be updating your account information as quickly as we can, so keep an eye on the first post for progress info.
I also want to remind everyone about one of Aywas' fundamental rules: You must be 13 or older to play here. If you attempt to circumvent this rule by lying about your age and later reveal it, you will be reprimanded. The age requirement is in place for a reason and we will not tolerate violation of this basic rule.
Reminder: You have a little over 24 hours to request a free hybrid change-back (to the old art)! After the 29th, if you want the old hybrid artwork, you must pay for a Dawn Crystal to get the image updated.
Last but not least, I have results from the Christmas in July Design Contest!
The three winners are:
Magnus Vale (#256) - Christmas Caroler Orimi
Our judges thought that this design just screamed "Christmas" and holiday spirit with its concept. The pattern is simple but elegant and flows well with very appropriate and well-executed edits. Bravo on such a creative and aesthetically pleasing design!
Nyoko (#585) - Eggnog Meep
This Meep is festive without being blatantly Christmas-y. The judges loved how the edits accent the very tasteful (hur hur) body coloring and overall concept! Great job on executing such a nice idea.
Lassie (#5182) - Festive Drylis
Some of our judges said that this design reminded them of candy, while others thought of a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments and tinsel. No matter what you see, it's very clear that this dragon is a Christmas creation, and it put us all in the holiday spirit!
Now, for our five Honorable Mentions (and trust me, this was a close race!):
Saturn (#497) - Santa Meep
Skitty (#543) - Abominable Snow Chiro
Beer (#728) - Festive Cheve
Ori (#6762) - Reindeer Ryba
Vix Pumpkinsnake (#7131) - Pajama Lacer
Please contact Visark (#185) for your prizes! Thanks for the entries, everyone, they were a real joy to look at.
Stay tuned for more updates and don't forget about the crystal sale!

Custom Promotion
Items
Like the new silver art being made by our silver artist? Have a silver custom with outdated art? You are welcome to request your silver be redrawn (it would be the same pose and colors) for 35 GP. You can, of course, request the PSD for minor changes, future recolors of your new lines for future SCC pets, or breeding.
Because some people have asked, this offer (and the previous - where our silver artist will draw your silvers for free when you submit a SCC to me) is open indefinitely, or until she decides to retire from the position. (:
It's Custom Madness!
Crystals are Buy 2, Get 1 Free
Promotion ends September 1st.
You can get any crystal free that is less than or equal to the cheapest crystal you bought. To take advantage of this deal, send me (User #1) a message with what crystals you would like, along with the GP for the two most expensive crystals in your order.
Please keep all orders of three separate in your mail, for example:
Silver, Silver, Silver - send the price of 2x Silvers
Gold, Blue, Blue - send the price of Gold + Blue
Gold, Gold, Blue - send the price of Gold x2
If you are a premium member, you are welcome to send the Premium Member discount price with your order.
Have fun making customs (: I love seeing what you guys come up with.

Plush update
Site Update
Okay, after another three hours of standing at the post office (I feel like I spend my life there) all of the plushes have been marked as shipped. All shipment notices have been sent out. If you have not yet received one, please contact me and I will happily tell you when your order was shipped.
Don't forget you can order plushes here: Real Life Merchandise.
Free add-ons with any purchase of three or more plushes in an order. (:

Plush update
Site Update
I wanted to give you all an update on the plushes. We have shipped approximately half of them. There have been some inquiries regarding plushes and I feel it's necessary to remind everyone that there were hundreds of orders placed, and just one Slash doing all the printing, documenting, packing, and shipping. Therefore, everyone's patience is requested and appreciated.
As it has come up, please keep in mind our TOS regarding chargebacks. This will not change, as everyone will get their plush. While I am trying to get them out as fast as possible, do keep in mind I'm constrained by human capability, as I am one person.
I would also like to remind everyone that they purchased a pre-order and that the plushes did not arrive to me until the end of August's first week.

Hybrid Results
Pets
Here are your new hybrids!
They have been switched over. If you want your hybrid switched back to its original image, please contact Erienne (#17).
Also, if you want to use the second image (that did not win) that was polled for your hybrid, you are welcome to submit it with a Dawn Crystal. This is not free, however, so you must use your own crystal.
Here are the other winners. Some have been released already, as for others, you'll have to wait. :D
To claim your prize, please contact Erienne (#17). For your reference, here is the thread where you can figure out what prize you got. :D
