That time of the year again...

Remember last year? Something that went a bit like this?

It's the end of the year and as we all know... time for holidays!!!
Given the multiple origins of the visitors of this site making it a Christmas celebration would be kinda unfair... and also, one celebration isn't enough, is it? so we are very proud to present to you...

The Great Arkadian Holiday Marathon!!!

And yeah, we're doing it again smile

this time however, we're sure the site will be up EVERYDAY. Now, for those who don't know what we're talking about just yet... a bit of explanation:

Starting with the Yule festivities (on the Winter solstice, December 21st and as a present for all Wiccans ) and ending with the 6 Month Anniversary of our site on the 21st of January! 32 Days total!

An update each day featuring all sorts of goodies and awesomeness and overenthusiastic lame-ass posts by your admins!
All updates will be done between 00:00 GMT and 12:00 GMT... but don't worry, they'll be there by the time you visit. smile

Sounds good?

Now, we have been a bit AWOL but we assure you that the Marathon, as well as the 1.5 Anniversary update will be more than worth it wink

You can check this thread where each day we'll be posting what's been added. And/or this main page where each day we'll add an update
(btw, you won't be able to post in the thread, if you'd like to comment on a certain update please make a new thread or use the comment feature under each update)

Check in a few hours for Day 1 of our 2nd Annual Arkadian Holiday Marathon
Happy holidays, Arkadians!
Kisses and hugs! laughing

)

And a page was added for the new song Babyshambles has been performing (with the General) on tour:

Terrible Pain This might not be the actual title but we'll use it for now.

Cross-referencing!
Dottle ft. Dot Allison, Cuckoo 1440, and Palace of Bone have been annotated and/or cross-referenced. Read their pages to learn why.

Yeti, Dirty Pretty Things, & Carlos

Babyshambles & Miscellaneous

Peter

Thank you to everyone who sent something in this time around. It's appreciated! smile
