Hello Fellow Members, and Season's Greetings!

In case you were wondering if =ManipulateThis was still a viable club, well, it is! I've simply had some unexpected things come about. For one thing I was hospitalized for 16 days. It didn't take them long to figure out what was wrong, it just took a while to fix me. Then, when I came home, I had a difficult time adjusting to my old ways and schedules. I just recently checked my e-mail to respond to those who needed responding to, and as you can tell, I finally made it back to dA.

Okay, since it's so late in the month of December to have a contest (and I'm still recuperating), we're going to take a break until January 2nd. I want to thank those who have already volunteered to sponsor the contest with some sort of prize, but we could use more, especially two more 3-month subs for level 2 and 3 first place winners. Just send me a note if you can help with prizes (and you can still participate if you donate).

Over the coming weeks we will still have our features including the late stock affiliates feature. If you have winter/Christmas theme stock or deviations and would like for us to show them off, simply send a link in a note marked "Collection".

Oh, one more thing. dA is having a special "Donate One, Get One Free" right now. I don't know how long it will last but basically if you donate a subscription, a print subscription or buy something on a deviant's wish list, you'll get the same thing free.

We could use more subscriptions. Our last month had come and I went ahead and donated a 3-month subscription to the club. It would be great if others would do the same.

Well, that's all for today. If you have any questions for me, just post them or send me a note.

Much love,

The FantaSim
