Brought back ‘Ode to Advent’ from a few Advents Ago!
Ode to Advent
‘Twas the night before Advent, when all through the Manor
Not a writer was stirring, for nothing else mattered.
The bunnies were lying out snoozing away,
In hopes that their work was now done for the day.
The Vampires were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of naked Mates danced in their heads.
Evil Bob did the rounds on his victory lap,
While I settled down for my pre-Advent nap.
When out of the blue, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.
Away to the office I flew like a flash,
Tore open the door with a hell of a crash.
Bob 2 sat there smirking, all chuckling with glee,
He’s a fine sneaky bastard, that Evil Bunny,
For he’s been on a roll now, these past several weeks,
Adding new characters, giving them tweaks.
At first there were six, but it soon became seven,
Enough now! I cried, with my eyes rolled to Heaven.
But lo! On that night before Advent was go,
There were eight shiny Fassbenders all in a row.
“Now, Craterus! Now, Quintus! Now, Aguilar and Callum!
On, Erik ! On, Harry! On, David and Brandon!
To the Wiki!” Bob 2 did the rally then call,
“To the plots! To the plots! To the plots away all!”
But the Greek and the Roman both sighed and sat down,
While the Cop stood there glaring and tried not to frown.
The Assassins made certain their blades were affixed,
As the Mutant made office pens dance and do tricks.
The Synthetic Lifeform hid something from sight,
And the Newbie just smiled, stepping into the light.
They are many and varied, this dangerous bunch,
But then here at Sylum, you should have a hunch,
That while eight men are settling in well and fine,
We soon could be dealing with dude number nine!
Bob spoke not a word when he saw us all there,
Just lit a cigar and jumped up on his chair.
So there’s plenty of work that is still left to do,
And the one who is known here as Evil Bob 2,
Will be keeping us busy, which just isn’t right.
Merry plotting to all! And to all a goodnight!!

It’s here! Advent starts tomorrow!
Lots of great art, aesthetics, and stories.
Make sure to let the artists and author’s know you appreciate their hard work.
Also make sure to stop by the Discord – there’s a specific channel on there for Advent!
Quick Thanks:
taibhrigh for getting all the banners and wiki images done
Gil for the back and forth flailing and encouragement with getting things done
Speed for putting up with me during the lead up to Advent

You should have gotten your stuff to me or at least an email about what’s going on.

You should have sent taibhrigh images and name for any story banners that will be needed for Advent.
If you have questions please email me: sylumclan@gmail.com

And look it’s already half way through September.
So at the moment the stories are going good. Now just to see what else I can come up with!

I know it seems like it’s months away! But we all know it will be here before you know it!
So how is everyone doing?
I can say that I’m moving along decently with my goals and plans.

Reminder: If you would like to work on a Sylum story, you will need to contact me with your idea, and I will have to see a draft ahead of time to make edits or notes.
