Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Weekly Topic competition.
We had a great response to last week's topic “Fake News”, and a selection of our favorite winning entries are coming up.
But first some news about a fascinating Podcast you're gonna want to give a listen.
A Nintendo Podcast by The Koopa Cast Out Now
Austin recently had the pleasure of speaking with Seth of The Koopa Cast in a Podcast about our community and the development of both Sudomemo and the Flipnote Archive.
It really is a must for anyone who loves Flipnotes and Sudomemo, and is jam-packed with historical details, and intriguing insights, including many stories about its growth, and how it all came to be!
This podcast is now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and All N Media.
Here are the links to take you straight to it:

And now a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.
Sudomemo Fundraising
This month we're hoping to raise more cash for additional Sudomemo expenditures.
If you would like to make a donation then Sudomemo Patreon is the way to go! It will really help with the upkeep and running of Sudomemo, and there’s loads of special rewards to enjoy.
Here's the link to our Sudomemo Patreon site:

Well done to everyone who entered.
Brand new OC Varney Fliptrap debuts as tonight’s host on Fake news TV in this goggle-boxing Topic winner by Kip.
But will Notesferatu begrudge him the spotlight? Or perhaps simply switch off, and try a newspaper instead!
Fake News via word of mouth can be just as misleading as Fake News on TV, as we see in this Tomadachi Life Dream style animation by Blood wolf.
The expert character illustration, hilarious dialogue, and outlandish sound effects make for a wonderfully surreal Topic interpretation.
Fake News reports of flying fish send Wellington on a search for the truth in this whistle blowing Topic entry by Hi5.
However, when outrageous lies turn out to be common practice, the poor fellow is somewhat lost for words!
News Guy Phoniak’s fake weather report insights the people of Whittiville into mob action in our next scandalous Topic winning entry by Robz805😃❗.
Who knew good weather could cause such bad feelings!!
This Weeks Topic - "Parachuting"
Consisting of large sheets of light silk that fill with air, as the suspended passenger beneath falls to the ground, a parachute can save a life, land troupes and vehicles, or provide an exciting pastime for anyone who enjoys dangerous thrills!
Your Flipnotes could involve parachutes or parachuting in any way you choose.
Animation Tip:
The movement of the parachute when it opens in mid air, and also when it collapses on the ground could be very interesting to animate, and perhaps an opportunity for drama, comedy, or cartoon peculiarity!
Why not give it a go! Land us an entry for this Topic, and start floating down a Flipnote today!
We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.
Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - Parachuting and the deadline for your entries is March the 9th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).
We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes, to highlight any details you’d like us to feature in our winner reviews.
Tip: The frame you save your Flipnote on will become the thumbnail, so choose your favorite or add a title page!
Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
