I hope you all have a wonderful start to the new year. I am proud that all of you are here and have made it through the year [emoji=familiar heart size=1] May this new year be filled with success, happiness and prosperity for you, your friends and your families, and may it be a kinder one to us all. I just wanted to again take the time to thank each and every one of you for partaking in this challenge and for taking the time to spread a little joy and kindness amongst FR members. The December Kindness Challenge this year not only saw many former challengers from previous years returning to spread kindness, but it also saw quite a large number of new participants who were eager to jump in and have fun. It really means a lot to see so many of you getting into it and the general warmth that comes from this thread at this time of year is phenomenal, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You may use the next two days to catch up on any tasks that you might've missed. I have been recording the tickets throughout the event, however I am still only human and with so many posts to sift through a day (we're up to over 3000 tickets logged!), there could've been some tickets that slipped through, particularly if you were catching up on days or changed your username etc. So feel free to check the participant spreadsheet for your name and let me know if something doesn't add up! To summarise the end of the challenge: - This will be the last official ping out to everyone - A 2024 pinglist has been set up (see below) for if you would like to be notified of when the event is ready for signups in December 2024 [pinglist=6847][/size][/font] [font=Georgia][size=4]- Everyone has 2 days to play catch up! Tasks will be accepted as completed and tickets will be logged until 11:59pm January 2nd. - Raffle prizes have been finalised! - The raffle will start on the 3rd January shortly after rollover once the sheet has been finalised.[/size][/font] [img]https://image.ibb.co/nBK2N0/candle-smol.png[/img] [size=4][font=Georgia]Don't forget to pick up the two DKC Challenge Badges for 2023![/size][/font] [columns][indent][indent][indent][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3283824/1][img]https://i.ibb.co/R2YdbHw/Felix-100.png[/img][/url] [nextcol][size=4][font=Georgia] If you participate in this challenge in any capacity, then you are free to claim this badge.

[b]Day 32: Resolutions[/b] [emoji=sun size=1] This year I'm hoping to get some of the more expensive fams, starting with the red-footed akirbeak and working down. Last year I managed to get my light sprite! I also just joined the Dragonwish Foundation, so I'm looking forward to taking on more wishes and helping people get their dream dragons. It would also be great if I could finish the 3 breeding projects I've been working on of my own. So fingers crossed!!

December 22nd - completed; gave a player art based off their wishlist

[center]Day 1. Happy New Year everyone! In new year I'd love to scry all my aurabou projects, write lore to all my dragons (well The Biters, of course), buy a Starmap gene for my BD veilspun and finish my Holiday Fae project. I wish everyone here a good holiday and a Happy New Year!! [emoji=firework size=1][/center]

[emoji=rainbow star 2 size=1] [u][b]Jan. 1:[/b][/u] honestly i think my resolution this time around will be to finally stop my habit of buying g1s that i end up not geneing or anything... i have too many that i end up just exalting because selling them is such a hassle -_- i need to just save up for ones i reeeeally really care about!!!!

Optional Task - January 1st 2024

Happy New Year! May we have the best one yet.
I got so many projects laying fallow. I'm going to complete at least one.

Optional Resolutions:
I want to do more work on actually geneing up some of my lair, especially my older dergs from the start of me joining back in 2013, they need some desperate love!

And maybe get more into the adoptable buying. This past year I joined in some of the adoptable buying to support flights dom pushing and they were so cute and fun to trade with other members!

I have been struggling with having (between various changes, responsibilities, life events, and quality of internet) much less time to give to Flight activities than I used to. I [emoji=gust size=1][emoji=heart size=1] Wind Flight and want to help out in the ways that I am able to, but I ran myself ragged in the last handful of months trying to keep up with my own past self, on and off of FR, and real-life stresses began to spill over into here. That is something I very much prefer to avoid. [emoji=auraboa sad size=1] I took a more laid-back approach to DKC, and had a lovely time. [i]So,[/i] my resolution is to re-find that balance I used to have, back when I could multitask FR with other tasks much more, and get comfy with whatever that ends up being. Lallie, and all who contributed to putting on the December Kindness Challenge, thank you so very much for reminding me to relax and have [emoji=firework size=1][i]fun[/i][emoji=firework size=1]. To you and to everyone else who took part, I wish all of the good things the new year can possibly bring! [emoji=nocturne happy size=1]
