The festivities are over, the revelers trickled back to their respective worlds, and the breeding machine sits quiet...

But a murmur travels among those who assembled: "That was fun. Maybe we should do it again sometime?"

The Veluchasm festival is now a recurring event. Perhaps we'll see you again next year...?

Thank you, sincerely, to all of you who participated. As an admin of both groups, it really delighted me seeing how many folks came out of the woodwork for our little festival. I hope you'll stick around!

Now for a piece of more serious news: Due to a family crisis, our dear group owner ASimpleMoon is taking a leave of absence. In the meantime, I, pawstepsinthesnow, and my partner in crime IIIXKitsuneXIII, will be filling her shoes until such a time as she can return. This is not affecting species ownership or group rights-- Moon has simply deputized us to act in her stead while she focuses on things in the physical world. Those of you in the Discord probably have noticed we've temporarliy taken on the group admin role, but I wanted to give a heads-up to site-only folks as well. 

The third update: deviantArt has made changes that makes it impossible to edit any journals that have custom skins applied. This has affected several aspects of the group that were still on dA, especially the Orphanage-- I chatted with our illustrious sitedev Draginraptor to enable a few features, and am currently in progress of migrating several dA functions fully onto ketucari.com. I'll make sure to keep you posted on progress. Transferring the Orphanage is currently our top priority-- things have been slowed down to complications with my health, but I'm working as hard as I can to make sure all functions of the group are available again. Thank you for your patience!
