Ello Lovelies!
I'm sure you're wondering what this new thing is all about. Well, thanks to the wonderful suggestion from your local @Fellows, we will have a monthly newsletter! You can expect this Newsletter to have an overview of past news/updates, and other various information that we hope will interest you, such as site statistics and monthly-themed events! The awesomer part in all this, is that it's all pieced together by the Fellows; written by them, and content ideas approved by them. I'll be the one making sure that you lovelies are getting your monthly newsletter on time and that it looks pretty, but everything else is done by the Fellows.
That doesn't mean you can't also contribute! This Newsletter is for you, and new ideas are always welcome. If you have any ideas that you believe that we should consider for inclusion in a future Newsletter, please send me a PM, and I'll run it by the Fellows!
Please Enjoy!

Featured Novel and Song
The first of January: An exciting day, full of wishes, hopes and firecrackers. What better for the quiet after the smoke than a good book and a nice song? This month's Book of the Month and Song of the Month Celebrate one arrival and one departure on this special day.

Book of the Month
Those of you studying literature might recognize J.D. Salinger, one of the American great authors. He is most known for Catcher in the Rye, a tumultuous journey through teenage rebellion, and a favorite of high school and collegiate studies alike. The pick of this month, however, highlights some of his lesser known works. @Dusky wants to kick her depression for good, find a medicine that works, and get her life in order!
[*]@Silent Justice wants to get a girlfriend/boyfriend!
[*]@cloudyblueday wants to figure out and focus on what makes her happy, devote more time to watching how-to art videos, play less video games, spend less time on RPN (it's too addictive!), work out her complicated relationship with music, and stop procrastinating!
[*]@LotusSan wants to make people more aware of problems faced by the trans community!
[*]@Aura Of Twilight wants to get further used to college (stop procrastinating, make more friends, etc.), improve her writing skills, and build up her self confidence!
You can find the thread here if you are interested!

Site Updates
We had several updates to the site this month. Below I've summarized the updates, but I have also provided some links for you to go to the actual News & Update thread if you're curious to know more.
(New) Emoticons
Pooka has created new emoticons for the website! You can view the thread on it here. Shout out to Pineapple for helping implement the new emoticons for us. You may notice that the admins also have some customized emoticons that are relative to their names and/or avatars on the site.
(New) Customizable Sidebar
Thanks to Pineapple and Miz, you can now customize your sidebar. Click here to find our post detailing how! You can toggle to view Fellows on your sidebar like Administrators and Moderators, and you can also change the links that display on your sidebar to be more of what you personally want and need to be there.
(Update) Serious Discussion Forum
The Serious Discussions forums has had an update that you can read about here. A moderator is now required to approve your access to that section before you can post.
(New) Search for Roleplayers
We now have a new Search for Roleplayers function on the website thanks to the efforts of Pineapple and Ghan. You can find instructions here and how to use this function to not only find roleplayers, but to make sure you can be found by GMs! There is a new section to your profile that allows you to select your preferred genres as well as what type you enjoy. Hopefully this will make it easier for you to find groups and recruit for RPs in addition to our recruitment forums.
(New) Chat
Earlier this month I'm sure you noticed we introduced a new chat system that we trialled for a short while. Dark Wizard's announcement of it is here. The Shoutbox button on your top bar now says "Chat" and you have a little bar/button on the bottom right corner that says "Chat Rooms" too. You can use these to enter our shiny new chat channel and you can also send instant messages to people on the site!
(New) Prefixes and Recruitment Changes
Last but not least, you might have noticed there have been updates to both the prefixes for roleplays and recruitment forums! Read the details here. Roleplay prefixes are now simple, casual, or detailed instead of their former novice, intermediate, and advanced- this should reflect roleplay preferences rather than trying to nuance skill/experience. The recruitment forum is now named Interest Checks to help clarify the purpose of the forum: to present fully written out ideas of what you want to RP! 1x1 Recruitment is now renamed Looking for Partners for the same reason- clarity. Advertise in that forum to find the partner or partners of your private roleplay dreams!
