Overview
Hello, everyone! Starwings2Night here with this hopefully okay newsletter, since it’s, ya know, my turn to this one.

As with TurquoiseEmber's newsletter, this one is also a day early. (I have a feeling that practically all of these will be early/late. Pinning us done to a specific day isn’t going to work.) Since I won’t able to be on tomorrow.

As Stardust the IceWing-RainWing mentioned in her first newsletter, there will be a newsletter on the first of the month, every month, and the newsletter duty will rotate through powerusers still we reach the end and start again. If whoever is doing the newsletter can't post it precisely on the first day they will try and post it as close to the day as they can as we’ve been doing so far.

Next up in line for this is Prince Starsplitter of the Nightwings, so be sure to give him your ideas for the Pages of the Month!

We’re introducing some new things in this newsletter so please keep reading.

Announcements

 * In the next newsletter we will be adding a roleplay section to the newsletter so be sure to let Prince Starsplitter of the Nightwings know about your RP’s for the first ever roleplay section!

Candidates for Deletion

Events

Also….

 * Firefly Writings has made an Idea: Story Reviews thread for those who want their stories rated.
 * Bit random but this Building Your Own Story thread is pretty fun, and also started by Firefly Writings].

Random Page Stories
Each poweruser hosting the newsletter has been asked to click the random page button three times and to link the results here for the random page stories section.

Rules

 * Must be over 5’000 bytes. You can check this by checking the edit history and it will say how bytes it is since the latest edit.
 * If the page meets the byte requirement but really has nothing but allegiances or things like that, don't add it.
 * If the page is something like "A Guide to ___", find the story it is based upon and see if it meets the 5,000 bytes requirement. If so, it is eligible.
 * Don’t feature the same story or author twice in one newsletter.

Current Stories

 * 1) https://authors-academy.fandom.com/wiki/The_Coffee_Shop The Coffee Shop by StarryNight05. A story that talks of a simple coffee shop and its customers. The ones who want to break free of the life they were born in, break free of the expectations they born into, break free of the things they can’t control.
 * 2) https://authors-academy.fandom.com/wiki/The_Light_of_a_Life The Light of Life by Jaguar Satake. A story that speaks of pirate’s crew and their captain. A hidden betrayal and a reveal that ends in disaster, as magic and a manipulated afterlife comes to call.

A story that tells of an orphan girl who wakes up miles from her home with no memories of how she got there. A woman with temper, a girl with a dragon, and a commander without a name.
