Very Sad...

Hi, folks!

Last month, during Feburary, there was a death in my family.  A very precious person to me passed away, but I was able to reach her before she died a few hours later.  

I'm still hurting, it's still surreal.  But that's the way life is.  I know she's no longer in pain.  That I hold her memories dear in my heart and brain.  That's how I'm getting through this.

As for the thread that I've worked on.

There has been a steady decline in donors AND applicants.  

I've lost the desire to keep this thread, blog, going because it just doesn't excite me anymore.  I don't see any reason to be excited and happy.  Both tinsels and shimmerscales are pretty common nowadays.  

Maybe with the next Christmas raffle, there'll be a new prize dragon out, but this thread won't reopen for that.  

I've been with this thread through 3 versions, through a lot of changes, and it's time to put the thread to sleep.  

If anyone else wants to do a similar thread to mine, then they are completely FREE to copy any ideas, rules, whatnot from my thread AS long as credit is given where due.

Keep on spreading the love, please!

Here's the January 2014 News archived.

Happy New Year's!!!!!!!

I have changed the proofs for January.

There are some new information in the FAQ post, as well, added because of a smart savvy user who wanted to know if non-prize dragons from prize dragon lineages could be requested here. Find out the answer in the FAQ section! :D

Here's to happy breeding and reading and all that.

Combined for the year of 2013 (We missed January due to me changing over to this thread from the previous one, but that's okay)... a whooping 88 Tinsels and 192 Shimmerscales have been given out! Awesome donors! That's awesome!

With that, I welcome 2014 to our awesome thread!

Cheers!

Past News of November AND December 2013

I combined the two months because of illness and other things that were taking more attention than usual.

I'm fine now and I do not expect any further issues with my attention.  ;)

Without further ado - here were the news posts from November and December!

We're just several hours before it turns into New Year's Eve and a day before it turns into a new year named 2014!

I hope everyone has a great year for 2014!

I am sorry for the delays this month; both Kit and I were very busy in RL for various reasons, unfortunately.

The thread will be cleaned very sparkly either on the 30th (later today) or tomorrow (the 31st). Yanno, I gotta think up new proofs for January!  biggrin.gif Not easy to do, lol.

Your patience has been extremely appreciated by us both and we thank you very much. We also thank you all for your generosity!

December is here! We've decided to keep the thread content from November and archive everything at the end of December instead- combining November and December. Depending on thread activity, we may archive once every two months like this from now on.

Since both mods have been preoccupied lately, updates may be slow, but we're here. Thanks for sticking with us! ^^
