Between the frigid temperatures and the snow piling high, conditions are perfect for curling up with a good book. A perennial favorite throughout the Cave is the consumption of just about any book by the mysterious Paige Turner, one of the most prolific and varied Mycenian authors of our time. And now, as if to stir up the quiet winter days with a bit of excitement, she has announced her intention to put down roots in the main settlement!
The cavern is abuzz as its denizens celebrate their incoming neighbor the only way they know how - by holding a small festival! Paige intends to eventually open her home, along with its vast array of literature, to the public as something of a community reading nook—so what better way to welcome her to town than by centering the festivities around books!
This event will run through the end of the day on February 17th.
- Participation in at least 2 activities overall will earn you an activity sticker and the Very Ancient Text avatar background
- Otherwise, each activity has its own reward for participating in that particular activity
- Activities will be marked manually after the end of the event, and prizes will be passed out ASAP!

I wonder, if for the sake of balance, the item/je ne sais quois categories of the Blank Paige activity could be expanded to allow for a written description of the edit, rather than just being art-only? Not everyone has the tools or skills to execute edits on a mockup, and I would hate for them to be excluded. Other events (the weapon event from the Faire comes to mind) have allowed for item descriptions in the past, so it seems a bit strange that it was left out for this event.
Edit because I sound negative: I’m genuinely psyched for this event and don’t actually know where I want to start! It was just a weird thing I noticed

Oh!! I would like to say that this all looks so fun and I am so excited to get started, I barely even know where to begin!! Everything looks amazing!
I had a little question though: In Extra! Extra! Does it have to be canon, as in cats/dogs/dragons/etc and taking place in the cave? Or could we go non-canon with that? It doesn’t say anything about canon I just wanted to make sure! ^^

We’ve added the option for written entries into the Blank Paige activity!

Ee thanks crow! that will be super fun
There’s one other thing I wanted to ask!
On the four panel canvas is says you can do anything as long as it connects to the lines! Would something like, say, typography be okay? As long as in the end it connected to the sides?

We purposely left the guidelines pretty vague on that one to allow for maximum creativity. :D If you want to do typography, feel free to typography away!

Took a peek at the activities and they look so fun. I’m always glad to see an option between writing and drawing, because sometimes one just doesn’t click.

Question, for the four panel canvas, does it have to be done on a computer?
I don’t have an art program, so… Can I trace the box from my screen on paper, draw on that, and take a pic and upload it?
I’d like to participate, but have no way to do so digitally! ^_^”

You may participate using traditional media! When we go through and put the canvases together, we just might have to resize yours a bit to fit the template, but it’s no problem.

I thought the event went til the 21st. xx;; I got it mixed up with the raffle! ; ;
*edit* Will there be a chance to get this sticker in the future? T__T I haven’t missed a single event sticker yet and this is murdering my soul that I mixed up the deadlines.

Aw, I’m sorry to hear that! D: We don’t have any plans for past event stickers to be made available again once their event has passed. If we were to do another Winter Book Fair themed event next year, we would likely change the sticker, too.

It breaks my heart a little, but I’ll survive, haha. Just makes me hope that someday, we’ll be able to purchase past event stickers or trade them or something. Kinda like how people trade stamps/pokemon cards/pins or something, haha.
*cries in a corner lmao*
