#fun

Greetings, friends! In light of a recent tragedy that has shaken up my LARP community, I'm pivoting my regular weekend streams into a four-day fundraiser benefiting two different charities focused on shark research and education, as sharks were deeply loved by our late friend. Charity donations made through my Twitch channel will go directly to Shark Angels, Inc. (Twitch does NOT take a cut) and I will be personally matching $100 of the total donations raised, benefiting Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS).
  This weekend will be a mix of worldbuilding, art, and gaming — and I'll be checking out a new game, Nightingale, in early access. How exciting is it to jump into a gaslamp fantasy survival game not too long after WA hosted a stream on the gaslamp genre? Isn't it also a bit of portal fantasy? Which was also featured on the blog? Hitting a lot of fun bases in one!
  First stream is tonight (Wednesday) at 6PM EST (GMT+5). Next three days should begin at 2PM EST. Any level of support for the fundraiser is so appreciated — whether you drop by the stream just to chat (or lurk!) or you donate to the cause, every little bit helps. If you can't catch the streams at all but still want to help, donations are accepted through my Twitch channel any time, live or not.
  Hug your friends more often! I'm beaming so much love to you all. And I say, with every ounce of passion I can muster, %#&$ cancer!

I checked off some resolutions!

My New Year's Challenge Entry is now serving more of the purpose it intended. Check out some of the fine beans and articles I was inspired by (and sneak a peek at my shortlist for the Generic Article Category)!
  Also, I'm planning to make Someone's Birthday BIG! I've mentioned it here and there, but Someone Elsewood's birthday only comes every four years. 2024 is one of those years and I don't want it to go to waste! No matter how unimportant Someone insists birthdays are, I'm telling you, shenanigans will be afoot whether he likes it or not! And you will probably really like it. Get ready for behind the scenes content, fun audios, interesting stories, secrets, and more! To help you get the most out of next month, I've decided to announce that there is a...
 

NEW TIER UNLOCKED!

 

The cheapest way to get the goods AND support your local WILLOWISP branch! For the low low price of $1 USD, you can become a Temporary Dependency, gaining access to BIRTHDAY SHENANIGANS and other secret sneak peeks. But beware: this discount role is only available for a limited time. Once the window closes, there's no telling when (or if!) it will be opened again, so take advantage while you can!

  So, if you'd like to support me on Patreon or Ko-Fi, you can do so by just paying $1 usd per month. Remember, you can cancel any time! So if you think that you'd not like this after February, you can simply drop it.
  Thanks again to you all for being awesome! I pray your New Year has been going well. Sending love and hugs.
