Summary
I was hat-ed in the last week of April, so I don't have a lot to share, per say. Firstly, though, I wanted to express my excitement over there being an Emote CV again!
Yes, yes, I know. I should be more excited about being the CV, but that excitement was tempered with fear...and it has passed. Now, I get to just be excited knowing someone is posting DDs again. 
Speaking of which, please keep the suggestions coming! The more, the merrier, in my book! As you have probably seen by now, I am trying to stick to an Emoticon DD every other day. We are a small community and I don't want to run out of pieces to feature. So, it is the schedule that I will stick with for now, with the chance of more or less days between subject to change to fit my schedule, if necessary.Also, please take a moment to go give input on the Emoticon Gallery Makeover Discussion that Synfull is leading. We want to be sure we get the new layout as simple as possible to cut down on miscats.
