starry_nights | News & Events Edition #7

Happy fourth month anniversary, everyone~!

Thankfully this news post isn't as big as the last one, so let's get right into it!

Iksay Harvest Festival
We were going to do this at the end of the month, but I decided it's better to push it out fast since we don't got much else going on and we already have something planned for after the festival, which hopefully will create more buzz. The event post will be made around 15-16th May, so make sure you don't miss out and let's gun for another 1000 comments!

Longevity
As a follow-up to my comment about lack of things happening, I'm wondering what we can do as mods to make it more active? Right now we don't have anyone on active hiatus, so I start to worry that maybe we're not making it as good as you guys would like it to be! Remember, the survival of this game depends heavily on your participation, not just ours as mods, or it will fold just like the last one. We're doing everything we can to maintain a mod presence as well as generate activity/material to make posts about, but there's only so many we can do. So please keep up the effort - we need youuuuu! :)

Starry Nights Banner
How would you guys like to submit some fanart specifically about this rp? Julie and I are going to revamp the starry_nights layout and we would like to use everyone's fanart submissions on a monthly rotation for the banner/header. It can be anything relating to the game, whether it's your favourite moments (like setting a library on fire) or just a group of the current characters doing stuff! Unfortunately, I make a terrible artist, but I had a go at it anyway. I actually used a base originally made by Piku-Seru (check out their work), but here we go!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

A few friends were considering to join but the lack of their desired castmates discourage them :(

Nooo! D: Which castmates would they like to see?

I hope that's not the case with most of the players who have seen this game, lmao. Waiting to join until it's big enough or has enough castmates isn't a safe bet, because tbh this community could be dead by this time next year. Everything we do right now matters, and every player, post or comment helps tremendously towards keeping this around.

Mostly from 2 and 4. I told them that it will be still fun without castmates, or at least if they applied first someone might apply as castmate in the future

Perhaps because my friends are more of fanartist than writers, too.

Which characters do they wanna see? I've got a space available to apply for one at the moment. I only know 4 so I can't help with a 2 exclusive character.

;;;; Seconding Delci's question! What castmates? I held off on grabbing a new character for ages because I wanted to potentially be someone's castmate, but there was nothing ;;;;

I think this place is slightly more non-writer-friendly because of the option of prose or not prose, too! But I know it can be tough to make the jump. :c
