Hey Everyone!!

Welcome to the first weekly newsletter! We will be sending out information every week with regards to the site, these newsletters are of extreme importance and will be sent out via PM and EMAIL - please do not unsubscribe to emails, this feature is extremely important when it comes to getting urgent information to our members!

Firstly, we want to say a huge, great big welcome to all our members, NEW and OLD! Some of you we’ve known for a while, and some we are just meeting, but the response to creating this site and people joining has blown our minds! We love each and every one of you, and want to say a big thank-you for wanting to become part of the&nbsp;A Change Of Heart&nbsp;family <3

Down to business…

1. CBOX - Things have been much better lately with keeping the cbox friendly and welcoming for everyone - please don’t forget this tool is purely for casual chat. A quick reminder to everyone (the admins included) that plotting isn’t to be done in the cbox, mainly because sometimes members feel they can’t chat, or it may scare of newbies who feel intimidated. We have a plot page board set up, and you can all chat via discord and Skype or whatever means you choose.

2. PLOTTING - there are LOTS of plots flying about at the moment, which we absolutely LOVE, however when thinking of details that include another character, or a group of them, please be sure to check with all members before deciding on that plot line, everyone must be comfortable with the way things are moving. If the canon hasn’t been taken up yet - the plot will have to be put on hold as we don’t want the futures for canons to be altered before someone has had a chance to become them.

3. SHIFTERS - PACK RULES, if you have a desire to join a pack, please PM that pack leader to work out a thread allowing them to join, Jake and Sam make the final calls when it comes to both Shifter Packs. We can allow for nomad type shifters who haven’t joined a pack…yet.

4. TEMPORARY BAN - we have put measures on a temporary ban with vampire characters, both veggie and normal vamps. This is because we had an explosion of members joining taking on vampires and the site became overrun, we are currently in more need of humans and shifters, O/C and Canon. We will review the situation over the next few days and update you all in the next newsletter.

5. AWARDS - on Friday 14th we will be opening up our first award polls! These will be for ‘Female of the Month’, ‘Male of the Month' and ‘Couple of the Month’. Please respond back to the PM version of this newsletter with your top 2 nominations for each category (and no you can’t nominate yourself haha ^_^)

6. ACTIVITY - the final and most important point! You guys have been FANTASTIC! Please keep it up - try and reply to threads 2-3 times a week at least, keeping everything moving. Keeping up this activity will make room for a site-wide plot in the not so distant future. If you have taken on a Canon (Cullens, Volturi, Shifters or Bella) PLEASE keep these active, they are the important links to make the site work! If for any reason you’re away for any length of time, either PM Jen or Becki, or leave a post in the absence board! An activity check will be done at the end of the month, so keep this in mind!

Once again, thank you for joining the site, we cannot wait for things to really kick start and we are only trying to keep everything fair for everyone on the site ^_^ 

If you have any questions, please just ask the admin. And don’t forget to send your nominations for the awards!!

Love to you all

The Admin XO
