Author Announcement!

Greetings Jammers, Arcticstar here! And oh boy, have I got news for you!

After looking through the many submissions I received, I admit I had a very tough time trying to choose one author for Fridays! Each submission had a unique style of writing, and I was sad that I had to choose from them because they were all so good! If I could add more days to the week so everyone could write, I would.

However, I can't do that, so I had to make a choice. But it was just so difficult... How could I choose one?

I met with Graciepopstar on Animal Jam to discuss options - a possibility she brought up was to choose one full time author, and one substitute author. But how often are the authors ever gone for a long time? To call on someone with such short notice wouldn't seem fair..

But then I had a realization... What if I gave up Mondays?

Sadly, I haven't been able to keep up with posting two days in a row, and Monday usually seems to get the short end of the stick. If I could get one of those super talented people interested in posting to take over Mondays for me, I wouldn't have to choose just one! (mind you, only having to choose two was still hard!!)

In the end, I settled upon two amazing writers who work tirelessly at producing great posts. I knew I could count on these two, and that they were sure to take the AJC to great places. So may I introduce to you, the two new authors:

coolcat89252 and awesomepanda868

Coolcat will be taking over Mondays for me, and Panda will be doing Fridays

I'm so excited to have these guys writing on the blog, I'm sure we'll go great places from here!

If all goes as planned, Panda will start this Friday, and CoolCat will start next Monday (as today is already posted on!)

Be sure to welcome the new authors in their upcoming posts!

For those of you that didn't get in, please understand that it is an extremely difficult choice to have to make, and just because you weren't chosen doesn't make you any less talented as a writer! Opportunities even better than this will come in the future, I am certain of it. Keep writing, and improving yourselves, don't give up!

Looking back, the amount of times I submitted applications for becoming an author on the Animal Jam Spirit was crazy - and I never ended up getting the role. However, soon after, I became an author on the Animal Jam Community, and it worked out much better for me, because I got to meet awesome viewers like you! Now look where it's gotten me!

Please give a warm welcome to our new authors, Jammers! I'll be leaving for two weeks starting tomorrow, as I will be on vacation. Graciepopstar will be covering the Jammer Sundae I miss while I'm gone. See you soon!
