Happy Spoopy Month, Cinnaverse! We have a ton of Halloween themed fun for you this week, including adopts galore! Let's jump right into this update!

BANNER 

This month's banner is brought to you by GrinningCrypt, deerSkullz , and Marsh0Metal ! Thank you all so much for your awesome artwork! 

We'll raffle for next month's banner shortly!

PROMPTS + CINNA OF THE MONTH

It's a fright delight! Check out the spooky scary prompts for this month!

Our winner for Cinna of the Month is... fruitofthestars ! Check out their adorable entry!

Don't forget, you can choose to draw these Cinnas instead of an NPC for October's Rarity Prompt as well! As a reminder, everyone who submitted gets one Rarity Rune!

The theme for this month is Favorite Scary Movie 👻! As always, submit designs to THIS gallery for your chance to have your design made official for free! 

DRAW TO ENTER (DTE) - 10/30

If you haven't seen it already, darkvvision and poejangles have done a Poellab for a DTE (Draw to Enter) Raffle!

The requirements are:
FULLBODY — Please make sure your drawing submission is a fullbody of the Cinna! Flat color is acceptable, but we’d love to see shading! Make your entry as simple or detailed as you like, whether that be a simple fullbody or a full scene with character interactions! This will not count as extra points or anything, so no pressure.

One submission per person — Again, we’re not tallying extra points or raffle slots for anyone, so even if you draw 7 pieces, you may only submit 1!

Can't / Don't wanna draw? — We know that some Cinna owners just like collecting pretty little food creatures to look at and/or make stories for, so as an alternative  entry, you can write a 500 word story for this Cinna!
We do urge drawings though as all the submissions will go into the gallery of this design for whoever wins the raffle!

Submissions will end on 10/30,  and the winner will be announced on 10/31 (Halloween)!
Tysm for participating, and we’re so excited to see what everyone comes up with! Get scribblin’!

HALLOWEEN Adopt-o-rama

We have a sweet and spooky adopt event prepared for you all this month! This is a doozy, so be sure to read all the details to ensure you know when adopts will drop!

The admin team is shaking things up this year with 3 flatsale batches and 3 (or more :eyes:) auctions! These flatsales will include designs from all of the admins, and the auctions are collabs between admins!

Thursday, October 10th - Micro-Nugget Flatsales + Auction

Thursday, October 17th - Chibi Flatsales + Auction

Thursday, October 24th - Full Flatsales + Auction

All of the relevant info for the batch releases, the batches themselves, and the auctions will all take place in correlating Discord channels! (#, #, #, #)

In addition to this calendar of releases, Kenna might have some site-exclusive adopts going up in the month as well... Keep an eye out for those here on the LK!

GUEST ARTIST BREAK

We've been blessed this year with a whole hoarde of amazing guest artists! As you may know, there are more than a few open adopts, which can be found in #official-adopts and on the LK in UnsoldAdopts. To give the market some time to breathe and allow the open Cinnas a better chance to sell, we will be taking a break from GA terms for the remainder of 2024. When we start up again in 2025, there will be new guidelines in place to ensure everyone's adopts get the attention and time they deserve! Thank you all so much for your hard work, and we'll see you in the new year!

💾 Website Updates

We've got a quick one for you all this time, so here's the rundown:

NEW GUIDE PAGE

The site guides have been updated! Check out the sparkly new look of the joint. ;)

MASTERLIST UPDATES

If you didn't see last week, @nerdmacandcheese cross-posted an announcement regarding some masterlist functions! You can read that announcement here!

Claim Game RULE CLARIFICATION

If you are a regular in the Cinnaverse Discord, you may know about our little drawing game called The Claim Game! This is a fairly simple art game commonly found in other species servers, wherein you draw the Cinna of the person who posted above you, then send a reference of your own Cinna for someone else to claim. We have previously been fairly lax about the rules of the game, but as of late have received feedback that some entries have not followed the pinned guidelines. So here's a refresher!

Claim game pieces must be drawn from the hips up (aka halfbody), as well as fully colored. The pieces can be lined in whatever style you use, as long as the other two requirements are met. Keeping this standard of art in the game means no accidentally hurt feelings. Everything should be fair and fun!

In addition to the art rule clarification, keep in mind that you can only claim one Cinna to draw at a time, that it is common courtesy to edit your original post once you've completed your piece, and not to join the thread unless you plan to complete your piece(s) within a reasonable amount of time. The Claim Game should not be used as a mill for "free" art. Thank you all for understanding!

That is everything for this month! As always, if you have any questions about changes or new additions, you can ask us in #ask-the-staff! Lots of love. ❤️ Take it easy this fall!
