Hello guys - just to notify you that I'm about to apply to convert this club into a group so all club activity is suspended until we're back on our feet and up and running smoothly as a group. We will be taking this conversion slow, as we want to get things right. Please do not send in any more submissions for the moment, but =MimozaBlooming will deal with any outstanding submissions once the conversion is complete - as usual, you'll get a message when this happens. When we're catching up on submissions, your message centres will be a little swamped so apologies in advance for that! We'll let you know when the submissions are back up and running.

Future changes: Until the end of the month we're keeping the same method of monthly submissions, so that when you submit your artwork you'll need to use the "Suggest a fav" button on the front page. Once we get to January though, we will be changing our method of submission - you'll need to be a member to submit to the group, and because this process is different to what we have now, all current members will need to reapply to join in order to submit from January. It's a pain for you I know, but think how many applications we'll have to deal with! Anyway, the Rules & Info journal will be updated with everything you need to know when you need it.

What can I say? You guys are just amazing beyond belief. Thanks to donations from the past week, we now have 61 months of subscription - that's over 5 years! Thankyou in particular to *Ricky-Roo302, *tonyarama, =Cmac13 and *whitestarflower who each gave us a 12-month subscription. All our donors are now featured on the Features Page, and I wish I could give more. If you still want to donate a sub to us you're more than welcome, but I think I can say we're good for subscriptions for a while!

Today's Q&A session with =sesfitts went very well - keep your eyes peeled for the transcription, coming to an inbox near you soon! If you're wondering what to expect, have a look at the first *MerenSheritra Q&A Session Transcription and News Article.

Don't forget that the Tutorials Contest is still up and running until the end of December, but that's sooner than you think people, so get cracking with your tutorials!
