One year. One year of this amazing, new, online family.

One year ago today, I made three different personas for myself; Hannah, the one based on my more pessimistic self; Cathy, the one that was more optimistic; and Vinyl, the one that really captured my true, inner self.

One year ago today, I made one of the best decisions in my life. I started an online community, starting small bonds and friendships between strangers from around the world.

I made the closest online friends, and I'm so happy I did.

I know we're not doing too good of a job as admins, as we haven't been active for months, and I've actually been the only admin publishing anything, but I like to think that in the summer, we'll make up for it;

Last year was a good year for me. School wasn't as stressful, and I could easily pass my quizzes with just knowledge I accumulated from listening to discussions. I was also filled up on the hype for the book club and its future, that I was just so ecstatic that I had to update things constantly.

So, to thank everyone, I'm going to hold a small event; a contest, per se...

••

CONTEST: You think you can write? Well then, try this out!
The aim is to write a one-shot of your favorite Aphmau pairing (the ship does not affect the probability of winning)— that, or a small prompt/story about how you discovered Aphmau, or how you came across this book club.
2017, as I said, was a "good year", so to speak, but it really wasn't for a lot of people.

What we really need now is happiness, and the one-shot that tugged on the most heartstrings, wins.

PRIZES: There are lots of prizes ahead!

1st Place: Admin-status in TABC; this gives you access to the super secret admin chat, as well as the freedom to publish chapters onto the group account. This makes the user an official part of the TABC team.

2nd Place: A cover from VinylLights, and the opportunity to publish three chapters onto any of the TABC books. This can be any little story, to discussion, to just plain goofing around. This also comes with a vote-spam on the user's book of choice.

3rd Place: Vote-spam on any book, and the opportunity to publish a chapter to one of the TABC books.

PARTICIPATION: Every entry will receive a shoutout on our message board, a shoutout on the announcement day, and a spot in TABC's reading list.

DEADLINE: I've narrowed down the dates to anywhere between March 10 and March 30.

••

I hope to see all of your wonderful entries, and wish to see all the talent you guys have! Hope to see some amazing entries!

We'll see you with the next chapter of Clichès coming out this week!

EDIT: I edited this in order to increase the contest's appeal. The more entries, the better. This is the most this book club has going on, and I just want it to be special.
