October Newsletter 🌒💫

Happy October everyone! No Halloween event yet, but we've still got stuff in store for today!

Hiatus Announcement:

Starting from October 14th and ending on December 1st, we will be going on a partial hiatus! The following will not be open duruing this time:

• Trait and design checks
• MYO submissions
• Pound submissions
• Pound surrenders
• Discord maintenance will be minimal or slow unles urgent

Anything else, such as trades, gallery, and prompt submissions will remain up.

Our userbase has been growing super, super quick! We've already essentially doubled the size of our active team this year, so we just need some time to take a break and work on things for the species we've personally had our eye set on rather than just ways to manage the community space now. Thank you for your understanding! Please also note we do not presently have plans to open staff applications.

Halloween DTEs

Two tasty friends are looking for a new home, and it could be yours! Check out more information here.

Art Redemption Updates:

Art of transformations now has its own criteria that rewards Duckies at a flat rate, and should no longer be filled in under Character Art or Animated Character Art. The variability of Transformations made fairly grading them very difficult, so this aims to simplify things!

Transformation Art: 15 Duckies
Gift Art: 20 Duckies
Animated: 35 duckies

(Gift and animated art can stack)

As always, have some patience with the guide being updated please and thank you!

Pound Updates

• You may now purchase two Theme Tokens for 10 Bubbles in the Bubble Shop once per month.
  
  
• You may now use Suspicious Soaps and Pitiful Puddings on Pound submissions. To do so, link the MYO slot you wish to use up alongside the coorelating design on the submission prompt.
  • We will have leniency for trait accuracy, but missing a large chunk of traits or adding new traits may result in it being returned, so please be careful to follow your MYO!
  • You will not gain any bonus nor return on the MYO slot used aside from the base prompt rewards.

• The Bonus Bubbles prompt can now be submitted to twice a month.
  • A new option has been added as well, you can also draw a character still in the pound that's gone unadopted for at least 2 weeks! You're welcome to both options once, or either option twice.
  • Please note this is subject to change! If this causes designs to go out too quickly, we may go back to just once per month.

October COTW submissions

Submit your characters here!

Misc.

• Redesign Refresh will return in a few months! Unfortunately, running it monthly is not sustainable, so we'll just host it when we can. The first wave of raffles will go up on the 7th! (This will also the final turn-in date for designs currently incomplete.) Thank you so much to everyone who made designs!
  
  
• Emoji promt voting will go up soon!
• You can claim a Halloween theme for free in the theme shop this month! It's really, really purple!!!
