INFORMATION

Hello, everyone! I hope you all are taking care of yourselves, especially with the coronavirus outbreak currently spreading around the globe. >___< Wash your hands, stay inside, practice social distancing, and keep your spirits up! It's a hard time for everyone, so please take care of your physical and mental health!

I haven't left my house in over two months now, LOL. :') But I've been keeping myself busy, so it's not all bad. ^^ I watched both the first Trolls movie and Trolls World Tour, and it was so lovely hearing the girls in the sequel! Even though their parts were short, they were very memorable and I'm really excited to watch the Korean dub! If anyone knows where I can find a VOD with English subs, please send it my way, haha.

It's also so exciting to finally have Wendy participate in some official remote schedules and I'm so glad that she's recovering well! And the biggest news we got last month is an official SeulRene sub-unit debut! I am BEYOND thrilled for this and you best believe that this is the highlight of my summer! Having my two Red Velvet biases in an official sub-unit is a dream come true and I can't wait for teasers to come out! I'm glad that they're not debuting this month though, because May is STACKED with comebacks and I'm already losing my mind over trying to keep up with everything. :') And I will most definitely add the SeulRene sub-unit album to the prize list when it releases, so if you've got your eye on winning that particular album, best of luck to you!

And since we're talking about prizes, you'll see that there are several new additions to the Best Of section of the prize list. I've increased the Best Of - Irene prize to 1000 karma points, and added the Best Of - Seulgi and Best Of - WenRene prizes at 500 karma points. Just a reminder that they are contingent upon entries being completed, so these might not be the final prize amounts at the end. So if you're still working on your entry, keep chipping away at it! There are two months left so you've got time, but make sure you also keep your eye on the clock! And if you haven't submitted an entry yet or you'd like to submit another one, please do! The more entries there are, the more prizes that get distributed! ^^

Round Eleven of my main writing contest, Shoes of a Unicorn, has also just begun. If you're interested, please join! You can enter the same story in this contest and that one, as long as the rules are followed for both. It's a great opportunity to win more merch, so definitely don't miss out!

Anyway, please continue to write stories, submit entries, and promote the contest! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me via the comment box, my wall, or private messages. I respond to all messages within 24 hours. And if you'd also like to be a karma donator, please contact me so we can discuss the specifics. I will repay you for your generosity! Stay safe everyone! :)

I feel really bad saying this :< ... like 'terrible' bad if that's a thing but I'd like to have my entry withdrawn please... I know I still have a little over an hour left before my extension ends and maybe I can still finish but, I really don't want to half my story for anything. Thank you for being understanding and granting me an extension despite which I could not complete my entry, we were informed in the last minute (again! why is everything last minute with me!) of classes that would be conducted online because of how the number of covid cases are rising here again and I just... and that was after I asked for the extension too...*internal screaming* also it doesn't help that I had to entertain some guests yesterday instead of actually sitting down to complete my story oof.



Wishing the other entries the best of luck! And thank you again! for hosting this contest and being understanding!



Now I shall sob because of my terrible luck and read and support the other entries instead c:
