Site Update
For those of you who celebrated a holiday this weekend, I hope it was wondrous and filled with cheer!
.. And less stressful and tiring than mine. XD
At the risk of being cornered by sharpened Candy Canes and buried alive under Snowflakes, I want to let you know that the Seasonal Shop is not quite ready, but it'll be open as soon as possible and be welcoming guests for a full week once it does. Things have been a bit of a bumpy sleigh ride behind the scenes, but our big Christmas bang is still to come!
Let me get a couple of updates out of the way so that we can focus on the goodies when they're ready!
The Art Gallery has been judged!
Last week's theme was Gift Giving and we had plenty of positively adorable entries, but these six ultimately stole the gift-giving heart!
Our winners received:
This week's theme is the New Year!
We'll also be adding more themes soon so that you can brainstorm your future entries.
If there's a specific focus, medium, etc. that you would like to see featured by the Art Gallery, feel free to toss out some ideas! :3
Eggnogs
(I'm talking about the Delicious Eggnogs here, not the non-alcoholic ones. *wink*)
Do not be fooled by its delicious-looking spiced sprinkles or its sweet, dainty glass--this drink is a sneaky trickster!
.. or was just way too comfy in the old items from last year.
Eggnogs were not supposed to be re-released this year per Frey's request, but the items weren't updated as they should have been, so I'm going to guide you through this little coding snafu while we fix things up. We'll make it, I promise!
If you received an Eggnog from a stocking or the Pile of Gifts and did not use it, you can send it to me in exchange for 5 GP.
(Everyone who sent me one up to this point should have received a PM along with their GP refund by now.)
If you used your Eggnog for a breeding, please contact Kyu (1010), who is a love and will be taking care of refunding you. Successful breedings get automatically refunded by her. If you had a failed breeding, talk to Kyu and she'll see what she can do.
Stockings and the Pile of Gifts are NOT updated yet, so if you have any of these items, please hang onto them until I make an announcement saying you've got the green light to tear into them once more.
Note: I'm only asking you not to use them because the eggnogs are still inside. Slash said the other items are fine.
Eggnog is going to be replaced with a special potion that will also be stocking in the Cash Shop for 5 GP, so everything should even out. :3
The Holiday Wardrobe is not quite usable yet, but will be soon!
We'll make an announcement for you when you can try on all the new festive clothing.
My goal is to have everything completed and working asap so I can put everything in a huge announcement with the seasonal shop, but we'll play it by ear!
I appreciate your understanding and apologize for being unable to update you guys sooner.
Christmas may be over, but AyMas is just beginning!

Thanks for the update Eri. ^^ Stress is never good, so hopefully all the 'nog will ease up the stress for ya.. :P
Sadly xD I opened my stockings as soon as the clock had rolled over to the 25th. I didn't get any eggnogs in either, but I did get a HAG; which, not knowing if it was bad or good, I had sent it yer way. Sooo, my apologies.. :P It was before I knew it was only the nogs that had to be sent.

Ideas for future Art Gallery themes:
(I'm pretty new so forgive me if these have been done before. I looked back a in the gallery to double check but not WAY back.)
Explore/Adventure Monsters
Battling
Pick a kind of pet that does not usually get a lot of love in the art areas (Insi, anyone?) and make that pet the theme.
Your favorite mutant pet
Favorite Aywas pet couple (could make this interesting by making it more specific: What they would look like on the cover of a novel, playing on a swing together, sharing food, or in a valiant rescue)
Capturing a wild pet
New Year's resolutions
What might happen if some (or all!) your Aywas pets came to life and invaded your real life
Aywas pets time-traveling throughout history (or in a specific period/place such as Ancient Egypt, Feudal Japan, Mayan Empire, Medieval Europe, Stone Age anywhere)
Hibernation

For the Art Gallery, how about a color themed week? Anything goes for the medium and subject but the picture needs to have a limited color scheme.
