Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Topic competition.
We had a great response to last week's Topic “Mystery”, and a selection of our favorite winning entries are coming up.
But first, we’re delighted to inform you that our annual two week competition the "Winter Comedy Fest" is about to kick-off.
This annual winter contest will continue for the next 2 weeks, and will be replacing the Topic competition for that time, after which the Topic will return.
The launch and all the details of this contest will be covered in a separate article (to be posted after this News letter), so be sure to check it out.
The very best of luck with your entries.
Sudomemo Birthday Bash Coming Soon
We'd also like to remind you that, in celebration of Sudomemo's 12th Birthday, the Sudomemo Birthday bash will be taking place on the 29th of January.
Pop it in your diaries and get ready for fun!
OK, and now back to the Topic.

And now, our winning Flipnotes from last week’s Topic “Mystery“.
Well done to everyone who entered.
In the first of our Topic winning selection, by Emi, a mysterious box attracts the attention of a curious passer by…….. But what could be inside?
Opening with a stylish scene slide-together, the piece is beautifully animated to include walking, both in profile and towards the camera, along with some very well observed character performance, before a letter-box close-up raises tension as the mystery is about to be revealed.
Detective Wellington and their new romantic interest investigate the mysterious case of the vanishing DSi in this R.A.O.P. pictorial story created by MuhⓁington.
Let’s hope they find a useful lead…….. or better yet, an evil villain clutching a hand held game console!
Yuk, yuk, yuk!
There’s bafflingly bungling crime solving a-plenty, along with a side-splitting comedy reversal in this wonderfully voice acted episode of “Mystery Trash” created by powderlock.
In our next winning Topic entry by GINA a mysterious eye holds us in a piercing gaze.
Nicely executed with a blink and a roving pupil, the eyeball finds its quarry with a blood chilling stare, as it locks on target with the viewer.
After a horrifying visit to the fridge confirms Mario's worst fears , the mystery of the missing lasagne begins in this game character inspired Topic winning entry by Connor.
And that concludes last week’s Topic winners.
The Topic Competition
Please note: This week and next week’s Topics have been replaced by “The Winter Comedy Fest Competition” to give you all plenty of time to focus on your entries.
But don’t worry, as the Topic will return in two weeks time (January 25th) with the theme “Sudomemo's 12th Birthday”.
Now here’s a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.
