We've also retired a few schemes and released some contributor schemes for general use.
And, on Thursday we will be dropping information about our 2019 Scavenger Hunt!

We wanted to do something different this year. We love you guys and we hope that you feel like we have a little community that support your wins and who you can turn to when it's tough. Life can be hard. We all know that. This time of year can be harder for some. Below you will find five tasks, two of which will benefit your local community, all which we hope will benefit you.
The Scavenger Hunt 2019 will take place over December, 02-12-2019/01-01-2020. You can submit photos, videos or a few words per task via instagram DM, tagging us in a story or post or by PMing the Lady Penelope account.
- Donate canned goods from the back of your cupboard/an old coat/blankets to pet shelter/time to charity.
- Your mission: write a letter to someone special to you telling them how they have changed your life for the better. Send it/give it to them.
- What does it look like in your mind? Write, take a photo or make a video of what best represents your mind.
- Share with us a song or book that changed you. Tell us why, if you feel like it.
- Pay it forward! Or, a random act of kindness. You choose.
All entrants will be added to an online generator and announced on 03/01/20 here and on our instagram.
The prize: a hand-curated box of goodies.

We're a month and a half into 2020 and to celebrate another year with all you wonderful people, we decided to give you something special!
Going forward, in all games (except American Dreams), character counts have increased by 5!
- All members are now allowed 15 characters per game
- Contributors can now have 20 characters per game
When we opened WiB, running a book club sounded like a really cool idea. In reality, we found it a challenge to pull off and maintain. While we love the concept, we've made the decision to retire it. All our past discussions and threads can now be found in the archives for your reference.
Instead, we've added a 'Currently Reading' thread into the Throne Room of the Winter Court! Book discussion threads can also be added into the Court Theatre for more specific discussions and potential spoilers you wish to cover.
Additionally, we've also released the special Book Club scheme for general use around the board!
So go, read, explore and throw your recommendations around! This book club is going underground.
So, we all know what's been going on in the world at the moment. Added to that we all have a lot of real-life stressors that are already a struggle. Anxiety and stress are things we often mention in the OOC threads. One of the apps I use daily (Balance) is currently offering a FREE one-year subscription to ANYONE who wants it. If you feel like you could use a little guided meditation to distract you for a few minutes, some help with nodding off at night, a little afternoon boost, email access@balanceapp.com they'll send you an email with instructions. (basically download the app from the apple store, make an account and email us back with the email attached to the account).
