Be sure to fan your favorite contests and contest owners!

Remember, to fan a contest, you have to go to the actual forum and click the heart in the upper right corner. All other hearts fan the owner, which is great, too!

Double click until you see the golden heart *HeartY* to fan a person or activity.

already? geeze the new year just started. *Wink*
Glad that's your attitude, N.A Miller Author Icon. I was actually quite late posting the changes in the forum. I totally forgot to remind my contest owners so I needed to be sure they were all good to go...or at least some were. Hahaha!
Schnujo Author Icon - It's all good. will take a peek and consider joining in this year.

GPs for MBs!

MBs must include a mention of "The Contest ChallengeOpen in new Window.!


You can send the same MB to everyone all at the same time to earn quick and easy GPs. ❤️

Everyone below has completed a whole year of "The Contest ChallengeOpen in new Window.! Help them celebrate! For extra GPs, send me a MB, too.

Post below or email me how many MBs you sent out to receive your GPs.



* CRs -- Community Recognition points, the number by our name. If you see a red warning before you send the MBs out, wait until it clears. Contact me if you need to wait beyond today. ❤️



NOTE: I'll be in and out today so there will often be a delay on sending GPs.

Schnujo Author Icon - thank you so much for your kindness.
I did it for five people.
I'll send MB to schnujo and bodhisattwa1 for immediately after CRs availability.
Thanks for caring about CRs, Silvern Author Icon! I appreciate your participation in this activity. *Heart*
Just wanted to say thank you for the gift points. I enjoy sending people Merit Badges, and you make it fun and easy!!

Also, I know you're busy with school and stuff, but I thought you might be interested in a fun, easy activity that won't take up much time and has a longish completion window.

Annette is running an activity called
"26 Paychecks Open in new Window., the premise is that every two weeks she will post some simple fun tasks, which will earn you prizes upon completion. You have two weeks to complete the tasks, and Annette has built in vacation time that allows for missed weeks.

I think we'd have fun playing, and I'd be happy to
pester remind you to participate.

Think about it and sign up!!

Thanks -- I'll think about it. I'd already seen it and know one of the tasks is to post in someone's notebook and invite them. Hahaha! Thanks for choosing me. *Heart*
Along side the MB sale, there's another sale and free stuff!

Jeremy is giving away 2 trinkets and selling 2 exclusive MBs for only 20k each!

In case you're like me and didn't see the announcement several days ago about the new ML code/editing changes here, I thought I'd post a link to the note.

"Note: Introducing the New Writing.Com Editor (Beta) ..."

I'm the only one who didn't know?
Well, no surprise, but I'm still excited!
For those who knew I knew something you didn't know, but I wouldn't tell what it was, this was it. lol

Egads, you've used one of the script fonts and it turned into Apple's proprietary Snell Roundhand *Sick* I already have my default set to 13pt Verdana, and it works even in IMs *Delight* Technically, I'm not supposed to be using the Beta Editor without a desktop, but... *Whistle* *Wink*
I was using Bradley Hand, Amethyst Snow Angel Author Icon. I assume the reason it changed is either because you aren't on a desktop or because I know SM has always struggled with Comic showing up correctly. Maybe it's just a thing with the handwriting-type fonts. That sucks. They are my favorite. You can post in the Bug Forum to see if he can fix it. Good luck!

I don't have any Apple products, so I have no idea what their Snell Roundhand looks like, but sorry to upset you with it. *Heart*
Schnujo Author Icon - I'm not upset exactly, just kinda teasing... Here's what it looks like *Laugh*

Darn! It's probably sitting next to my keys I can't find. *Rolling*
🌝 HuntersMoon Author Icon, you were my VERY first participant! *Heart* Thank you for that, for the encouragement you gave me in the beginning, and for spreading the word. *Heart*

You've finished 2 years, but have some entries from a couple more years if you're interested in finishing those up and getting more goodies from me. *Heart* There's no pressure, of course. But I do hate seeing partially finished years, all those entries just waiting for friends to connect with so they can fully realize their potential as a completed year. lol

Remember, you can jump over a new year so it doesn't have to be an exact calendar year, just 12 consecutive months.

I'll wait till next year. That way, I can put my all in to it.
John Johnny Johnson Author Icon, there's not really a 'next time' except for the Giant January Celebration and for that you have to have done every month since the beginning. It's getting harder and harder to qualify for that as time goes on, but since I allow catching up, technically one could.

Anyway, you can start anytime since it's simply a continuous challenge and you just need 12 consecutive months, including hopping over a new year, so if you started this month, you would end November 2026. But some folks want their 12 months in a single year, which is fine, too.

Optionally, to finish faster, you can work forwards and backwards at the same time. Do December 2025 and while you are waiting for me to post January 2026, also do November 2025. Then in January 2026, if you have time, you can do that month, but also October 2025. Technically, since I allow catching up, if you can do all 12 months in 1, you can finish super fast! Lol

But no pressure. Do what makes you happy *Heart*

Been Updated in the Forum and GPs Dispersed Yet?
No -- But It Will Happen, Eventually.

Have the New Contests Contests Been Posted for December?
Yes -- Finally, Barely

Are They All Open Yet?
IDK. Stop Asking Me Questions!


I had to replace all the contests. Let's not get into who might have forgotten to send out reminders in November, But also, what are the odds that not 1 contest owner is around from any December contest? Higher than I'd imagined, TBH.

Anyway, the contests are up and will be open soon, if they aren't already!
