June started up a new season, and that means a new challenge! Don't forget to check out the Taking Chances (Summer) challenge and post the goals you want to meet! Note! That challenge thread post you do is also an excellent place to keep up with your challenge goals, and this thread is great to keep up with all the RP Activities you take part in throughout the month, making August's RP card very easy to tally~

August Features:
Roleplayer of the Month: Ktenshi!
Featured RP Announcement: String of Spirits!
Featured Otaku of the Month Announcement: R0z3g01d!
Hall of Fame Initiates: None this month!

Announcements!
  - The 7th Anniversary brings about the Stars of the Silver Millennium Nominations and Voting! The party may have just ended, but our nominees and award winners are something else! If you missed the celebration, check out the RP Announcement Forum for the winners of the Storyline, Roleplayers, Characters, and HC Event awards! 
Character Profile Submission - It came to our attention that there was no BB code included in the quick access to the Canon and Otaku profile skeletons! Those codes have been added in for ease of access (and come without the instructional text and weird font colors/sizes that accompany just copying/pasting the form from the spoilers)! Please copy the code and use it to create your profiles in the future!
The 2018 Great Hardcore Event Reread continues this month! Watch the GC Calendar and look out for new threads to announce the dates and times to join in on this crazy-huge-thing!
Featured RP discussion is encouraged all month long! The third Sunday of the month (August 19) is a good day to discuss the storyline with other readers, but whenever you're reading the Featured RP (String of Spirits), share your thoughts and comments in the Discord channel!
The Hardcore Event Star Catchers is starting up again this month! Watch out for new posts in the established thread and more via RTRP's scheduled throughout this month! Players, remember to keep up with your activity so you don't get axed! 
Ever read a line in an RP that you wish you could appreciate with others? Share it in the Favorite RP Quotes Thread! Also remember, you can share comments on RPs you like in each rp forum's "Guestbook"—check the pinned threads at the top!

Additional Announcements and Reminders

• Remember, Approved Character Profiles are no longer required to roleplay in the Open Play Boards! You can use WIP profiles or try out new character ideas in this free play area!
  
• Open Play Boards can now be created and "hosted" by Rainbow Crystal Stamp holders!
  
• Discord RTRPs Open for Rainbow Crystal Members! Players having attained the Rainbow Crystal Stamp can now plan and host their own RTRP's in Discord! Use the OOC Boards to plan your events; if you would like your event to be put on our schedule and the GC Calendar, message ♅ Sailor Uranus on Discord! 
  
• Don't forget about your List of Storylines! It's a convenient, editable, linkable listing of all your storylines! Convenient for keeping track of what RP's you are a part of! Even if you are only part of one roleplay at the moment, go ahead and make a post in that thread! All the cool kids are doing it!
  
• Also consider updating your List of Accepted Characters! Useful for finding and linking all of your canon, otaku, multiverse, crossover, AU—everything—character profile pages! Use it to remind yourself what profiles you've received Approval for, or to see what other characters other RPers have Approved if you both have interest in starting an RP together!

Note! I will not be hosting an interview for August's Featured Character - R0z3g01d - as I am her and that makes it awkward for me XD 

So! To claim her bumper, rather than attending her interview you just have to ask her a question in her thread and it's yours!

Oh, I was there!
