It is done. I opted for the sledgehammer method and simply set the background color to white, so it shouldn't clash with the normal theme either.

Okay. Definitely time for more featured content. I must admit bloodbath's moneys are looking pretty fetch. Any other nominations?

Time to write a short blurb to feature something new in, say, September? The teaser on my conscript has been there for a while now, even if we're not counting the time Annie was comatose.

Definitely. Personally I'm in favour of pressuring Emily into polishing up this sexy thing sooner or later. Any other candidates?

I think it is again time to look for something else to put on the front page! Current strong contender is Comrade Twabs' entry into the Heterodoxy Series of conlanging advice, which gets my vote. However, since his work has graced the front page for several months already, alternatives are of course very solicited.

It may at least worth be putting the Heterodoxy series in its entirety into the reference section (annie has a reference section? what?)

That might be a good idea. In the meantime, the Hikoomayii story happened, which, since we take ages here for anything anyway, could be moved to its own page somewhere and made the featured creation. I think we can all agree that it deserves to be that at some point.

Well, yes.

If you can find something new, that is.

Someone! Produce something new!

It's plenty of new, unfeatured, things.

Matrix's stuff. You can swim in different pools and always find something interesting. We already featured "Shape and Makeup" from Ki Kuriku, as well as "Magic" from Maikros. In this universe, Maikros, we find more interesting stuff, like

The Order Necrotica and its ties and rivalries with the Black Cloak.
• As you said four years ago in this very thread, anything from Salenzis. Yeah, people, it's worth a reading. For example...
Religions of Salenzis. It could be longer, but it has some interesting stuff that could be developed into a more detailed article or even some short stories. *blink blink*
• Also, Ticondera, the dead kingdom.

Beyond Matrix:

• Afraid of Greek letters and mathematical explanations? Bullshit. Anguipes' Celestial Mathematics is a short yet beautiful article anyone should read at least once.
• I was going to put here Face-painting customs of the Venrafivía period buuuut... disaster! The images are gone or I can't see them because of some weird necromancy.

+++++++++++++++++

Also, does anyone have anything on cartography? Or poetry? Or heraldry and vexillology? It would be nice to have some featured stuff on these areas of (con)artistry.

Also, stories, short or long, are benvingudes.

They don't need to exist in a universe. You can post them in a thread in Department of Creativity.

↑↑↑ To all that I add Anguipes' 2L script and its beautiful glyphs.

Replace celestialmechanics.net in each of the URLs with memory.rhetori.ca

Now that the image links have been fixed, I should like to join Izambri in nominating “Face-painting customs of the Venrafivía period”.

Yeah, looks like is that one or Anguipes' Monumental script. Although Anguipes isn't here to write a short text about it (I prefer not to do it myself because I don't know in detail how it works).
