Overview
It's that time of year again. Christmas (if you celebrate), hot chocolate, presents, writing until three am in the morning because it's winter break- did I say that?

Anyways, on to the newsletter!

Announcements
We've decided that instead of having all the powerusers rotate posting the newsletter, we'll just have admins do it instead. This means that the next one up is TurquoiseEmber - be sure to give her your Pages of the Month suggestions!

In addition, we recently made some changes to the poweruser team. Check this out for more details.

Finally, the wiki's first anniversary is coming up soon! It was officially founded on December 26th, 2018. I'm so happy with how far we've come, and it's thanks to you. All of you. <3

Events
We have a few events going on this month, including the Secret Santa event and TurquoiseEmber/Starsplitter's official wiki Art Contest #1. The Secret Santa is full, but the Art Contest is not. If you're interested, please enter!

Random Page Stories
As stated earlier:


 * The page must be over 3,000 bytes with actual writing.
 * If the page is a guide to something, find the actual page it is based off of and see if that meets these criteria.
 * The same page or author will not be featured twice in the same newsletter.
 * The admin hosting the newsletter will click the Random Page Button as many times as needed to find pages that meet all these requirements.
 * However, poems do not have to meet all of these - as long as the admin deems them acceptable, they are eligible for being featured.

Without further ado, here they are!

1) The Aura Guardians - Snow-Scales Ice Dragon. Written with a humorous lilt, this story takes us to the realm of elementals, playfully entertaining the reader the whole way.

2) We Could Be Immortals - Victory the NightWing. This was so well-written that I, someone who hasn't even read Warriors, could understand it.

3) Thanos Stole My Candy - Pokeballmachine. The master of meme-ology, Pokeball, brings us yet another story in the epic Thanos saga - guaranteed to make anyone laugh.

Pages of the Month
Pages of the Month To remind you all of the guidelines to select these:


 * Anybody can find a page they like that falls under one of these categories. They will leave a message for the admin who will be posting the next newsletter, preferably on their wall.
 * The admin will go through these stories, find the one they believe is best, and nominate the three pages in the next newsletter.
 * The authors of these stories are allowed to display the badges they are given on their user pages.

Now, on to it!

However, no one has actually nominated any pages this month, so it was in our own hands to determine them:

Best Poem: Dissociation by Enderfiretheanimusdragon. This was written quite powerfully, with moving verses and flowing description. Definitely one of the most deserving works out there.

Best Fanfiction: Outcast by Carolinecat1. This story was a close-up into Chameleon's mind, the one WoF character that I believe deserved more book time. This was also written skillfully and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Best Original Story: Jolene by Victory the NightWing. I never imagined that Dolly Parton could take part in something so powerful. This story was mind-blowing.

Miscellaneous
This is a self-publishing site for everyone if anyone's interested; they do hardback/paperback publishing with a cover of your choice, help you with marketing options, and give you an easy way to share your voice with the world.

Thanks everybody for reading! Have an amazing holiday season!
