December Announcements

Hello, everyone—it’s the editor again.

We have plenty of exciting news this month! As you know, we closed the ask box throughout November so I can … get some much-needed work done. During that time, Bill has been hard at work, trying to clear the ask box in order to prepare for its grand reopening, and at long last, the last two asks were answered last night. We’re unfortunately not quite ready to reopen the ask box because the next step is to edit some tags to make answers more easily navigable, but we hope to finish very soon. In fact, we’re aiming to complete work on our tagging system this weekend, so be sure to have your asks ready! We’ll make an announcement when the ask box officially reopens.

Speaking of which, the end of the month marks our first anniversary, and almost as if a certain wish-granting legendary was smiling down upon us, this happened this very morning:

We deeply appreciate all of you who have joined us this year. It’s exciting to know that so many of you are either interested in what we have to say … or are, at the very least, entertained by it. So as a thank you, we’d like to do a very special ask series throughout the month called #Ask Us Anything. Yes, that literally means “ask us anything.” If you have personal questions for Bill, he’ll be required to answer them honestly. If you have any questions whatsoever for me, I’ll happily answer them myself. And if you have any questions for the mun (whatever that may be), she(?) will likewise answer. Virtually anything you can think of is fair game. Just be sure to label your asks with the person you’d like to question to ensure it gets an appropriate response.

Lanette … surely we can offer a better thank you than that. —Bill

Well, yes, but I’m not so sure if a giveaway would be appropriate for this blog. Perhaps your personal one, maybe, or maybe for Christmas, but… —LH

I was referring more to the point that I am a little terrified of what the followers will ask, considering you’ve given them license to ask me personal questions about anything, but that’s a good point too. —Bill

Finally, tonight will be the first in a series of thirty special entries in honor of the release of the Alola Dex. This Alola series will focus entirely on pokémon first discovered in the beautiful and scientifically fascinating region of Alola. However, while we’ll try to save the pokémon featured in its legends and lore for the end of the month, there may be some entries that will, and I quote “spoil the game for you,” as the mun puts it. If you’re not far in this “game” at all (which I assume means your Alolan journeys, trainers) and would not like “spoilers,” please blacklist our Alola Month tag. Otherwise, we hope you enjoy.

Thank you again for reading, followers! See you later this month for the reopening of the ask box!
