Hello everyone! It's been a while since you've heard from us and we're very, very sorry for the delays. We've been spending the time getting our chickens together because we are sad to say that Vee is stepping down from modding due to time constraints. We'll miss her very much; she's done so much for the game and took on many responsibilities. The January event calendar, event itself, and the AC will be up shortly. But first, we would like to start looking for a new mod! This is a small game, but we feel it's better if we have more people who can be around should anything come up.

Summary: The new year begins, and so too begin the long doldrums of winter, the most difficult time of year. In order to escape the long, droning winter, many people turn to art as an inspiration for their spirit. This month, the same will be true of the Queen and her Garden.

[OOC] January 10th: Activity check!
[OOC] January 10th: Mod Applications!
January 15th: The Queen has taken on an artistic mood, and the Garden shall change to reflect this. Easels and canvas, sculpting clay, and other artistic materials will be freely available and scattered throughout the Garden. The Queen welcomes and encourages efforts to paint or sculpt one another...especially the ones you care about.

What's more, the Garden will be full of the works of famous artists, usually (of course) depicting a romantic scene. These are true masterpieces of their form, with such fidelity that you would swear you could right into the scene. And, indeed, you can, and may not have a choice in the matter.
⇒ This is the month's event and will run until January 23rd.
[OOC] January 15th: HMD Meme
⇒ The official Queen of Hearts HMD Meme will occur on January 15th. Participation is optional, and players are expected to be mature.
[OOC] January 17th: Mod Applications Close!
