Dunno if staff members still check this thread, but I wanted to point something out, in part because I think I forgot to mention it on the survey for the fair this year even though I wanted to. But it pleasantly surprised me to see an event about creative writing centered on prose this time, and not have every art-related event be centered around drawing and painting either. I don't know if any past events had this and the fair was an exception to the rule, because I could've sworn I saw somebody mention a short story contest at some point, but I just wanted to highlight the importance of it. Even if I'm just as mediocre at it as I am at drawing, I enjoyed it more and felt I had a better shot at making good content. I hope that there'll be more of this around in the future? This also goes for allowing the drawing events to be crafted. I've not been able to do that, but just having the opportunity is nice.

We typically run a prose event every 1-2 years. We run them infrequently because they require a significant amount of concentration and time for us to judge. For context, we reviewed 387 letters (38,700-77,400 words) for the Letters to Jingle event between December 27-30th in order to get the Closing Ceremony up by our (internal) deadline of New Years Eve.

I've been informed that I accidentally missed one of the winners decorations in the OP. Congratulations to @WaileaNoRei! I will retake the photograph and update the main post after the sun rises. For now, have this badly lit photograph taken from my bed at 6:44am 01/01/21.

It will be hidden from January 14th 2021 and will appear on special occasions throughout the year. For example, in 2020 this collectible was active at New Year, Valentines Day, July 4th (US Independence Day), and November 5th (Guy Fawkes).

THEY'RE WOOD? THATS SO CUTE

[Holla]

I had a lot of fun during this event. My fave part was surprising people with gifts and not expecting anything in return.

Also congrats to all the winners. Such great work!

I'm sad that it's already over (yeah my post is a bit late...) but happy that my favorite entries won! Congrats everybody! Waiting patiently for the next event (no pressure) to change my avatar and signature (hehehe) It took me a while to draw so...
