~Wings-Lovers Maigetsu~
Banner by Rikkablurhound from the last banner
contest.
Hello! This is the first ever Maigetsu of WL! *Squeal!*
Introduction:
Just like MT, we have our very own Maigetsu! I have been inactive recently because of hectic college life. But now, I
have the chance to do something for the group. (Enjoy it while it lasts...) ^_^' Every month I'll post our
Maigetsu filled with news, features and of course Wings madness! This is for the month of October.
Recently on WL:
Engaged?!
Did you know that our Mod yothsothgoth recently got
engaged? Congratulate her immediately! Her long-time boyfriend for 5 years proposed. Maybe on the next issue, we'll
fully interview her about it. Wait for it!
Where's Admin BlueAngel17?
BlueAngel17 a.k.a Kat. She used to be WL's
commanding officer. Where is she now? We haven't heard from her in a while. sailorchiron has replaced her job as the WL page's layout designer.
On the last conversation with her, she said that she was just busy and stopped and focused for a while on her career. Am
I right? Anyways...
Contest for Everyone Update
Our latest (well... Its been there for a while) layout is eternallegend's Perils of Life . As you can see the layout, even the welcome banner
is Purple or Violet... Whichever! And its my favorite color! Big deal... On the ongoing contest held by sailorchiron, the greatest entry could be the next
layout for WL. So keep those works coming! Send your entries to sailorchiron. Again, a reminder to all of the contest mechanics.
September Contest: Back to School
Verdict: Tears
in Heaven by abul
October Contest: October Leaves
- There must be autumn leaves present. It could be Halloween themed. And of course, it must have wings.
November Contest: Winter Romance
- There must be a couple in snow. The wings can either be in the couple or the surroundings, like um... Birds? But its
winter! There aren't any birds! Be creative and surprise us.
December Contest: Holiday Time
- Must have holiday spirit. Angels certainly, are great additions. And of course, it must have wings.
Alternate Contest: Southern Hemisphere
- For those who live where snow isn't seen. Like me. A tropical theme. And of course, it must have wings.
For more information go to this thread or ask our Admin sailorchiron.
Featured Works
We Admins and Mod pick out special works every week and feature them on our page. We promise to give very specific
descriptions to every work. I heard a rant from somebody that the Admins aren't giving much appreciation to the
submitted works. sailorchiron apologizes for this
oversight and promises better features descriptions in the future. She told me that she's been totally stressed out
and can't do much stuff. Thus I have made a decision... Read on.
WL Stuff
Since this is the first Maigetsu of WL, there isn't much to say... So we're preparing for the next issue.
Featured Work for the Month
This is the portion of the issue where we feature the greatest wall of our choice for the month. Whether in a contest or
not. We think its amazing we'll put it here.
Featured for the Month of October
Tears in Heaven by abul
Chosen By: gel-chan
Why: Its the winner of the September Contest. A very unique concept of wings! I've never seen rainbow wings before!
Maybe on fairy wings but never feathered wings. LOL... I thought she was a parrot. Abul creates such interesting
walls... The expression is adorable! The details are great!Worth full-viewing. A definite fave! Awesome work! Don't
you think so?

The Search for the Next Admin!
Yes, that's right. Since sailorchiron
can't handle all the work and BlueAngel17 and I
are busy. We need 1 more person to handle stuff around WL. This where I left off in the Featured Works part. The more
the merrier I say! I will temporarily strip BlueAngel17's position as Admin. The things the new Admin will be
doing: creating reward images, doing the page tweaks and advertising the group. Here are the requirements.
-must have managed another group (preferably an active group)
-has knowledge on changing/designing the group's page
-always active in MT
-pleasing personality (not too strict on rules, friendly, shows concern for other members)
-knows how to deal with photoshop
-should know how to use CSS and HTML for the modification of the site. We really really need it.
Pass your resumes to ME and sailorchiron. We'll discuss this and agree whether the applicant is suitable for the job. Good luck to all aspiring Admins!
Get to Know Your WL Staff!
Since (again) this is the first issue, I haven't got the chance to interview my fellow staff members. So... I get
to interview myself first... Isn't that insane? Hahaha... XD
