IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY!!! Happy 3rd Birthday Jam Fest, and to celebrate this occasion, we've created a fun little video that can be found at the top of this page. We'll also be sharing the video in our Discord chat soon! Hope you all like it!

Reminder that late assignments, even if only by a short amount of time, results in a strike and sitting out a round. The same goes for not posting your done comment before the deadline hits.

Also, when requesting a break, we need to know for how long you plan to go on break and the date/round in which you will return. You also need to contact your admin before your return date to let us know that plans have not changed and that you are ready to return. We will not hunt you down. If we don't hear from you, you will remain on break, and if said break exceeds the maximum of four weeks, you will be removed and have to reapply if you wish to.

In regards to the MINI QUIZ on the next page. We love that some of you participate in the mini quiz and we appreciate this participation so much but, we would also really appreciate if you could answer the quiz in one inline comment next to the bottom of the quiz that says "". Doing this helps to keep your answers organized and makes it easier for us to tell who answered first. Thanks in advance!

A five-chapter review in our review book = seven notes 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 is now open!

As we said before, at this time of year we tend to either get a flood of new applications or lose a hefty chunk of our members. So far, it's been a bit of both. We've lost several members and have gotten a few new applications. That means we have to reevaluate who we think would work well together and move some of you around.

Of course, if you wish to move groups, we also offer that option as a prize you can cash your notes in for, though keep in mind you do not get to choose which group you move to. It's a gamble but we still do our best to place people in the best option available. That said, some groups may be closed until we get new members or we have people come back. So if you get moved around, just know it's only because we had no other choice. Make sure to pay attention to our reading groups and see if you've been temporarily moved.

Members, please remember you are free to leave the club at any time. We understand life gets busy, but please let us know that you want to leave, and out of courtesy of your fellow members, finish your assignment before you go. Ghosting has become a problem lately. If you do ghost the club, then want to come back when life slows down your application will be denied. We normally happily accept members back, but ghosts will no longer be welcome. 🚫👻

I've met wonderful people from all over the world in JamFest. I love that aspect of it. All in all, it's been nothing but positive for me and my writing. Happy third birthday, JamFest! Thank you, ChelseaKFree, Reading_Mermaid08, and Red_Leasia for running such a great club!! Looking forward to three more years!"

The QOTW does not go towards your end chapter comment and sentence minimum. To answer the QOTW, you can either attach it to your end chapter comment with the tag #JamQOTW next to it or you can create a separate comment with the tag #JamQOTW. No matter which you choose, the tag must be included so your admin can identify it apart from your end chapter comment.

If you could pick out the perfect present for the lead character, what would you choose?
