SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER
Posted 3 months ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by universeWelcome to Share Some Starlyngs September! We have some very good news! And some not-so-great news. Let's start with the latter.
Our epic Administrator team has gotten caught up in the complexities of life--that is to say, from medical, to interpersonal, to academic issues: we've been despairingly busy! Our deepest apologies to our very patient Userlyngs for our failure to get out the second August Announcement, and for our lateness on this September Announcement. Everything is evening out where it matters, so we'll be back on track as soon as possible!
The good news would be: the rest of the newsletter! Let's dive into our anniversary month!

STARNIVAL 2024 WINNERS & RAFFLYNG
While rewards for the 2024 Starnival Event were given out to participants earlier last month, we would like to officially announce this year’s winner: Team Stardust! With a total of 3573 Renown, Team Stardust surpassed Team Seafoam’s 2031 Renown, for a collective score of 5604!
After we determined the victor, our Stafflyng luparoca went straight to work creating the stellar Team Stardust-themed Rafflyng pictured below! All participants were automatically entered into the raffle, with MangoPotat being our lucky winner. Congratulations!
With our adjusted reward criteria, all participants were granted Account-Bound versions of x1 Minion Pinion, x1 Tick-Tock, x1 Uncommon MYO, x3 Rare Traits, x3 Earthbound Souls, x1 Lilitoile Bouquetx, x1 Raindrop Cake Set, and x1 Heart-Shaped Box of Chocolates. Be sure to give a round of applause to our top-scoring member Inotcreative, who finished the event with a whopping 2028 Renown!
A huge thank you to all of our participants! We hope to implement improvements to the event format we came up with next year!

NEW SEASON: AUTUMN/SPRING
It is now meteorologically autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and spring in the Southern Hemisphere! As such, autumn and spring-themed submissions will now be accepted for our permanent Seasonal Prompt (Gallery link). How are your Starlyngs enjoying the new season?

LUCK OF THE DRAW: October STARDUST ADOPTABLES LOTTERY
This month, we have (well, had--they're already sold out!) three spiced Stardust adoptable designs for prospective Userlyngs to purchase! They cost 500 Stardust each.
This eye-catching trio, themed after the "Autumn Harvest", was created by peeperonipip, reybrella, and subsequentibis! They can be purchased through their Sales page.
— ADOPT A "Autumn Harvest" DESIGN —
Continuing the trend, we're also hosting our October Stardust Adoptable lottery! We have also added a new stipulation that while anyone who has not been disqualified may enter these raffles, artists that get repeatedly rolled for this position will be rerolled.
- THREE users be chosen as winners.
- The users who created the previous month's adoptables cannot be chosen again this month. If they are selected, they will be rerolled.
- Artists that are repeatedly rolled for this position may also be rerolled.
- Winners will be asked to EACH create ONE Festival-themed Starlyng. (Festivals, carnivals, and celebrations!)
- These adoptables can use any Common, Uncommon, and Rare Traits. The Star [L] Trait is also available for use.
- Staff MYOs are provided to create these designs; selected artists do not need to spend their own Items.
- These adoptables will be sold for 500 Stardust each.
The deadline for these designs will be at the end of the month, with designers being picked on Sept 14th. Failure to complete a design will disqualify users from participating in the future.

The Road Ahead: resource prompt help (pretty PLEASE)
Factions are well on their way! Please continue to await them with bated breath.
Once more, with feeling: we are also looking to create special site banners for Starlyng holidays and to finish certain NPC designs. For assistance on both of these, we are again bumping our Permanent Resource Prompt Application! All contributions will be duly rewarded. (Those who have previously submitted their applications needn't do so again!)
