Hey gang!

I just wanted to congratulate you all and yes, give myself a pat on the back. Oceanside as been rated the most popular SB this month in the Storybook Newsletter

I am so proud of you all, this could not have been accomplished without you. You all have amazing characters and wonderful unique ideas that have contributed to this storybook. I am so proud of all our hard work and dedication, keeping a storybook running is not an easy thing to do. I know we're going to have a great run, and possibly see more features in the newsletter as we continue. Great job!

I would also like to congratulate @HazelGrace16 for winning Most Deserving of Attention. Hazel, I have been writing with you for a while now and am so glad you got recognition as well. You're an amazing SBer and it has been my pleasure to write with you in Cataclysm (which flopped), LWPCP, and 7 Deadly Sins (which unfortunately, flopped as well). We always hatch the most fabulous evil plans and I can say that you are easily one of my closest friends on YWS. GREAT JOB! LOVE YOU GURL!

If you haven't gotten your first day posts in, you have until Sunday to do so, please comment (if you have not yet done 1st day posts) and let me know what's going on or if you need an extension. Also, @QueenofHearts I am waiting for a post from you. So excited to see a friendship form between Aaron and Cora!

I can't wait to see what everybody else has to contribute, if you have already done a first day post but did not include the power based classes because you did not know what it would be like, you may post again for that reason. I'm so excited, we have such a great assortment of charries!!!!

Lastly, I want to challenge you guys. I want you all to maybe message somebody that you haven't written with before, or have two unlikely characters interact that you maybe wouldn't expect. I want to encourage you guys to form friendships, not just romantic relationships. Sometimes, the people that are there for you when the world is falling apart are your best friends and it's important to acknowledge that.

@Gravity, I've already posted something about this, but I'll do it again. I've been gone all week, just got back today (11 pm last night to be exact, really,) and I've been computerless all week as well. I haven't had the time to type anything up, and seeing as this weekend will be extremely busy as well, I don't know if I'll be able to get a post up on Sunday.

So, would it be possible for me to have an extension? I don't think I'd need much more time, posts don't take all that long to type up!

Thanks!

@SkyeWalker yes it slipped through the cracks, I'm sorry I didn't remember. Yes, an extension is possible :)

@Gravity I am currently in Mumbai for a short holiday. I have been for a week so I am unable to post and I am currently writing this on my phone. So could I please have an extension until Wednesday? I'll have been back home for enough time to get up a post by then.

Hey @Gravity ! I should be able to get mine up by late today (or, potentially, super super early tomorrow morning, like, post-midnight, pre-when-normal-people-wake)

@Gravity I know that Bela and Kaito will be working together, but when they're not... is Kaito's teacher just Mr. O'Malley? What does it look like for him to be working individually?

I'm sorry I'm confused I just... don't wanna write something completely wrong.
