Hehe. I may need to institute a contest wherein you all suggest update subject titles.

New Members: Melody, Paris - welcome!
Lost Members: Lexi, Saori - aww, bye!
Level Ups: Carole (x2), Katharine, RainboKat, Stacy - well done!
Masteries: Carole mastered female authors pt. II - congrats!
Write-A-Novel: Danae Cassandra, Ryleigh, Sophie have all completed steps towards writing their novels - hooray!
Affiliates: Triton Perfection, a Veronica Mars TCG - prejoining!

Apologies: I’ve fallen woefully behind in posting donations, making card sets, answering emails, and updating the card pages as I’d previously mentioned to you. For that I am abjectly sorry, and you all may take on special (worth 2) card of choice (not mastery or birthday), and comment below!

Important Notice #01: I am currently in the middle of changing internet providers, and phone companies. This will result in my being offline for a few days. I have no idea how long those ‘few days’ will be. I may not get the 1st of the month update in on time.

Important Notice #02: If I am still not online by the 1st, the site won’t get paid for on time. I won’t be able to pay it until I get back online, but I will be back, and so will the site. I hope not to have any down time at all, of course, but I’d like everyone to be forewarned, just in case, so you all don’t think I’ve disappeared on you!

Important Notice #03: If I find some way to get the site paid for while I am still offline, I will put up a link to a freebies page for you all. This means that, if the update does not come in time, you will at least get random freebies on the 1st of the month. Actually, I’ll be putting up the link anyway, even if there is down time - and you all can claim the freebies when the site comes back up.

Stumped you! Or most of you, anyway. I’ve gotten so many answers to History already - and better than 75% of you were just a hair off. Please remember, in History, I am always looking for the title of the book, not the movie. Sometimes the two are the same - and sometimes they’re not! But, given my impending internet woes, you may all answer again immediately if you’d like, since I’m not sure I’ll be here all next week, and I want you to have as many chances to get it right as you need!

• Pearl Poet

Speaking of card sets… I’m working on fancying up the card pages a bit, so if you visit a few of them, and they look different, you’ll know why. I probably won’t upload any of them until I’m done with the whole lot, but there it is.

I’m having kind of a crap day, so I’m going to give everyone a gold coin and a random card of choice (visit the randomizer and take one from the selection) - and comment!
