After quite a longer while (I am so sorry! Summer time is crazy!) we finally have our winners of the last event!
We really have to thank you all for your work, there are so many great writers in our community and all the places you described were so good, that we decided to make them all real!

 And, enough of the talking, we are off to pronounce the winners!

And we have 2 first places. Me and the judges agreed that these two entries just had to win! Congratulations to:

8BitBaker with the entry Shinrinyoku & Aylabug with the entry Weifang's Teeth
Congrats! You two will get the Ancient Flask!
(Please work closely with me on creating the subspecies.)

Second place goes to Kaliboo with the entry Sapphire Grotto! Congrats!

And third place goes to Valkhana and the great entry Shipwreck!


Everyone of course gets their badge and coins!

Thank you all for participating!

Check out the new event!

Thank you everyone for participating! We had lots of great entries!

We had lovely entries again this time and it was hard to decide who won. For some we liked the crowns better, others had wonderful illustrations, but everyone's work was awesome to look at!

1st Place			None of us thought about crafting flowers, but this is a very creative idea and we loved it! Same as the illustration. It is super adorable and definitely a great way to celebrate the Flower Festival! Congratulations!
2nd Place			The beautiful illustration made this piece by Ohmwreckt 2nd place. A wonderful display of atmosphere and love. Congratulations!
3rd Place			The detailed and beautiful illustration from Isuna made 3rd place! We loved the background and how the character is portayed. Congratulations!
			We also liked Kaliboo's story of the festival and decided to give out a second 3rd place! We loved reading how Kaliya enjoyed the festival. Congratulations!
Honourable mentions Crowns:			We loved all entries, but some crowns just looked too good to just award the basic entry reward! Mercuria's was just a beautiful composition and we utterly adored LexTalionis' real self-crafted clover crown. Congratulations!

Thank you everyone for participating!

About Toffifay:

Toffifay is a sweet bean who is friendly with everyone though can be a bit shy at first. He's soft spoken and gets slightly overwhelmed in bigger crowds. He enjoys warm things like drinks and sunlight for examples. Toffifay feels at peace in his own presence and those who he is close to as well.

BREEDING EVENT

Shiji of the Month - March!

This month there is a slight change; the site will be automating SOTM picks going forward so they will be updated automatically on the 1st of each month. For this month only, you will have until March 10th, 11:59PM CET (GMT+1) to submit gift art for the previous month's SOTMs. 

In the future we will also be implementing logic to help ensure that SOTMs are part of our community (in Discord at a minimum) and that the same user isn't being chosen at too high a frequency. 

This month we have #97 Hadrian and #20 Nian-Zhen!
You can earn double coins for them! Go here to find out more!
