January is here, 2020 is over! January’s OotS is Diamond Ice, along with their Frozen Halo and Snowy Feathered Wings! This month’s set was created by Eluii. You can purchase this set from the Out of the Shadows shop through the end of the month!  A New Season Winter officially arrived last month, bringing with it our newest Winter seasonal coat - Lunar Glint, by Hush! You can purchase a new mothlike friend, as well as previous years’ seasonal mushrooms, in Fungimental Magic through the end of the season!  Creative Collective The Creative Collective has moved to a new thread for the new year. Information has been reorganized slightly, and we are eager and ready to have a creative 2021! December’s wrap-up has been posted, and participation awards distributed!     Productivi-Day Our monthly Productivi-Day will be held on Friday, January 15th! We look forward to spending the day productive-ing with you all!  Wrapping up the Drawntlet We collected feedback and released a summary of results on The Drawntlet last month and will be reviewing how we might adjust this activity in the upcoming year! Be sure to spend any remaining points at the prize thread before 23:59 ST, January 31st! After that time, the shop will officially close, and any remaining points will be randomly spent on behalf of the player.
New Activities This month we will see a couple of new activities begin their ongoing run! Bin-GO RP: Scene by Scene will begin in earnest in February - though we will be collecting tropes for the next couple of weeks to prepare. And a new profile activity, The Chamber of Reflections will soon begin - we’re just putting the last few finishing touches on it! You can now access all of our continually ongoing creative activities from this post, which will remain stickied for easy access!  Warm Winter Wonders Our new winter seasonal shop, Warm Winter Wonders will be closing its doors soon! Cho has thawed all of the goodies her little bird body can manage and is about ready for a nice long nap. Be sure to pick up your cozy couture by the end of January 4th! New Coats and Items Several new donated items have begun stocking in the Marketplace! Additionally, Plaid and Puppy have had their first coats released - you can pick up the Bushel of Apples and Dappled Carousel mushrooms in Fungimental Magic!      Miscellaneous Updates
Secret Santa The deadline for our Secret Santa exchange is January 7th! With the postal service backlogged in many places, we understand that some gifts may still be stuck in transit. If you’re still waiting for your Santa-ee to receive their gift, be sure to at least send them proof of shipment in the form of a tracking number to keep yourself from being marked a flake!   Cozy Cavern Cooking We’ve enjoyed drooling over all of the scrumptious recipes you’ve cooked up, written about, and drawn thus far, and are excited to see what the second half of our Wintersfeast activity brings to the table! Remember, you have through January 17th to cook something up!   Survey Season This month we will be releasing two new targeted surveys to collect feedback from you, our players, about aspects of Mycena Cave! The first will be regarding a potential new, major feature for the site so that we can gage interest and determine direction. The second will be hosted by our trial coordinators, Cien and Hyasynthetic, and will have several questions around player recruitment, player retention, and your experience with each! We look forward to hearing from all of you and will post announcements when each survey goes live. Behind the Veil
Happy New Year, and may it be a good one for all!
