This is a two-in-one post! Not only will we cover the monthly Ant Awards, we will talk about recent blog developments!
For starters, I want to bring attention to the new label, "Mark's Choice"! This label will be given to posts Mark has particularly enjoyed; posts I have added so far include the new post "Abandoned", the first "Lark Adventures" by Al, Sila's "Broccolini", and "How to Write a Novel" by Luxa! (I wanted to add couple of Shaly's poems, too, but I cannot find the ones that stuck out to me, and I can't remember their names, either. Can you remember which ones they were, Shaly? If so, I can add them.)
Also, I have a new blog moderator/writer, who has access to all the same tools I do, now: M. Blake! Granted, none of you knows who he is, and he's not super talkative, and he's doing practically nothing right now, but he's quite busy right now, too, and he's still familiarizing himself with the blog. Give him time!
Details on the May contest will be released on a later date, but don't worry, it'll be soon!
As far as the referenced roleplay goes, it'll feature everyday life in a fantasy environment. It'll be completely Free-For-All, meaning you don't have to wait in line to add to the RP, or worry about restrictions. (By the way, that's what the April and May polling was about; they were deciding the features of the roleplay. Surprise!) I'll create the roleplay soon.
The Reader of the Month is...drumroll please...SPITFIRE! As long as she doesn't spit fire or anything! -Listens to typical "Failed Joke" sound in background- Well, I never said my jokes were good, did I? Anyways, congratulations, Spitfire! (If anyways has any ideas for choosing Reader of the Month, let me know. Soon, I'm going to be forced to choose duplicates.)
The Post of the Month is...oof...a really tough choice. I decided a while back Broccolini, but after Abandoned popped up, I had to think about it. In the end, I still chose Broccolini, but whoever wrote Abandoned, you were really close! Give a hand to BROCCOLINI!
Last and least, the first wave of Mageborn Studios photos are on the way! I've taken them all, but I'm still working on filtering them.

As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements, questions regarding the blog, or if you're just bored! I promise to do what I can to reach you within 24 hours of your comment, unless I've otherwise specified I'll be gone.

I actually DO spit fire.
ReplyDeleteYikes, I should have brought fire extinguishers O.O
DeleteWow, thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Spitfire!
Good Morning, Mark. :) Sorry, for not coming on sooner. I wanted to admit to you I wrote, "Abandoned." And thank you, I was kind of surprised you liked that piece so much. Then, I do remember you liked, "Cry," "Credo (I Believe)," "Sunset at Hiroshima," "Mother (Short Story)," and, "Father (Come Back!)," by me.
ReplyDeleteI will work on adding those! :D
DeleteAnd you wrote "Abandoned"?! AWESOME! :D
