Spring Fling 2016: Last Day

 

So RL got in the way this week and forgot to put out the last announcement for Spring Fling.  So here it is!  Today is the last day to sign up!! Tomorrow it will be closed!

This is still me doing a call out to everyone who follows Sylum.

We’ve just published the Sylum Wiki Blog that showcases bios for all 1015 characters within the Sylum Universe.  There are 1015 Characters that can be inspiration!  There are 19 Clans with variety of characters that have never been showcased before within the Sylum Universe.

If you can draw, create graphic arts, awesome with vids, or have that playlist that is ‘so this character’ – sign up for Spring Fling!!

Let’s showcase some of these newer unknown characters, give them the 15 minutes of fame they deserve.

There is only so much the main artists/writers of Sylum can take on.

For More Info, to ask questions, or Sign Up go to this Post and Reply.

Discussion: Tuesday RP??

question-mark1

 

Though we have the forums set up for discussions/rp and the likes for everyone, I’m seeing that it’s rarely if at all being being used.

So the question I’m sending out to the list – If I set up a an RP Post once a week, or something similar – would you guys go to town – enjoy the old style RP that used to be on the list?

We got over 500 hits a day during Advent so I know you guys are out there.  It would be nice to see some of you during the rest of the year 🙂

 

This is for fun, doesn’t have to be perfect, or in canon, just have fun with it.

PS: If I don’t get any responses in the next few days to this – I’m going to just assume this is a no go.

Coffee House Friday: Updates, Reminders, and Randomness!

Computer

Today’s Coffee Hose Friday is about that to do list.

My personal to do list is pretty long, the Sylum one may be longer!!

I’m taking the moment to take care of a few things here at this Coffee House Friday!!

As I’ve been meaning to post a few things these past few days, but between the fluffy cuddly bunny that was tossed at my head and RL – I hadn’t had much time to update the Blog!

So  today we’re having 3 posts in one!! Or is that 4?!

Ehre/Weisheit Kin Clan: Member

 

Finishing up this month’s Inspiration from Ehre/Weisheit Kin Clan is Eisenheim

Eisenheim is Dresden’s son.  Neither talk about their lives or what they can do.  Both are very gifted and focused on the natural world around them.

Note: You will be seeing more of Eisenheim in some up coming stories.  But do warn you – what you think is not what you know.

Sylum Inspiration: Mary Poppins

Ehre: Caretaker

 

Despite the fact the Ehre and Weisheit Kin Clans joined after World War Two – the Clans each have individual Caretakers.

Ehre Caretaker: Mary Poppins

She’s sweet, charming, and can rule that castle with a iron fist!  She knows everything and no one can get anything past her.  She also has a beautiful singing voice and can be heard through out the castle when dealing with day to day operations.

She also can push every single one of Thomas’ buttons.

In Memoriam: David Bowie & Alan Rickman

david-bowie-success-anxiety

Alan-Rickman

 

 

We’ve lost two great legends in just a space of a few days.

Even if you didn’t like David Bowie’s music, you still knew who he was.  His influence on music will live on for generations.

Many kids were introduced to Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, the rest of us remember Hanz Gruber.  The vast career of Alan Rickman showcases over many films and has entertained us for decades.

Both will be greatly missed.

As for Sylum they both live on.

Severus is already an influential character in Camelot Clan, and we added Hanz Gruber to Sylum when we updated the Sylum Wiki Blog – except for the fact I forgot to put up his bio *eyeroll* *headdesk*.

We’ll be adding a character to Sylum for David Bowie.  In typical Sylum fashion we won’t be adding the one you’re thinking of but a small role he did that many don’t remember or never realized it was him.

Nikola Tesla

David-Bowie-The-Prestige

 

Let’s have moment of silence, raise our glasses and toast two legends.

 

Sylum Gift Shop – Cafe Press

cafepress-logo

 

We know there was interest in a Sylum style Gift Shop, through Cafe Press.  We’ve been working on this for a while, getting images and putting together product ideas etc.  We took into consideration some of the items that everyone had stated they were interested in, for example: notebooks, coffee mugs, stickers, calendars …. etc.

We’re still working on adding specific Clan items, but at the moment we have what will be the core image/product.

I would like to take a moment to thank Taibhrigh for all her hard work in getting these images created, sized and prepped for each product!

We thank you for your continued support for Sylum.

A special thank you to those who have donated to our hosting server!  It means a lot to us, and keeps our site up and running for years to come!!

A personal Thank You to those who have purchased items at the Sylum Vault.

And now for something different!! Cause we’re always looking to bring new things and adventures to Sylum!!

 

We offer you the Sylum Gift Shop!

 

Sylum: Character Adoption

tumblr_n6m17dBmYS1twi53so1_500

Character Adoption

 

One of the events we had on the Yahoo Group was adopt a Sylum character!  It was a fun thing, and after a while I got to know more people by their character name than their either real names or online names.

We’ve opened this back up on the blog last year, but figured be a good time to remind everyone.  You can use the character to sign into the blog, or make comments here or the wiki blog.

Go to Sylum: Character Adoption read through the list to make sure not asking for someone taken.  Then if want to adopt – give me a list of at least 5 characters so we can make sure you get one.

Even though we don’t really do RP here on the blog – remember we do have a Sylum Forum – where you can actually start up an RP … or have discussions about a variety of things.

Sylum Inspiration: John Preston

John-Preston-equilibrium-22933432-852-480

Ehre/Weisheit: Hunter

 

Keeping with this years Sylum Inspiration: John Preston – Ehre/Weisheit Hunter.

He’s methodical, tenacious, and a deadly Hunter.  Add him with his Mate the two can be unstoppable.

John’s personal self control rises from who his father is, and his need to make sure he never looses control.  One of the few people he relaxes or lets go – is his Mate.

Sylum Wiki Blog: Update

sylum-wiki-image

 

Quick Update!

We’ve added Jake Stone, Martin and The Duke – from the Moulin Rouge! story.   As these are unique in circumstance as they are further out in the Sylum Timeline – it will be one of the few sets of bios that will be past 2015.

We’ve also add 4 new characters into Camelot, Vampire Council, and Enemies.

Enjoy!! Please feel free to comment or ask questions on the bios.

Note: The Wiki Blog is still in edit and maintenance mode so please bare with us as we edit the now 1012 bios!

Coffee House Friday: 1st of 2016

Sylum's Coffee House Image

 

So it’s been a while since we had one of these!

First off Happy New Year! Welcome to 2016!

May blessings be with you this year

I personally don’t do New Years Resolutions.   I’m simply about living your life, loving your neighbor and being a better person all around.  Though I probably should cut down on the bunnies 🙂 *still coughing up hairballs*

So plans for the New Year? Did you make resolutions? Hows 2016 treating you so far?
