Hey there everyone, DeepRising here. It’s great to be back with the Weekly Newsletter and Topic competition.

We hope you had great fun with the Spring 2025 Sudomemo F.F.C. Wow! What a truly spectacular response there was. The incredible talent within the Sudomemo community totally blew us away!

Now, let’s return to our weekly scheduled Topic competition. We’ll be introducing this week’s Topic presently, but first a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.

Sudomemo Fundraising

We're still trying to raise more cash this month 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:

Why not check it out! And thank you so much for all your support.

OK, now back to the Topic.

If you're thinking of creating a Flipnote for the topic, check out this week's Topic theme and description below. We've included ideas and inspiration to help get you started! You can also find a list of upcoming topics at the end of this newsletter.

This Weeks Topic - "National Star Wars Day 2025"

Today is May the 4th, and National Star Wars Day!

So let’s celebrate it with a Force-filled fandom Topic.

In a universe governed by the Force, the struggle between the light and dark side is a never ending battle!

The Star Wars saga tells stories of these conflicts through heroes and heroines from across the ages, with dazzling spaceship battles, dramatic lightsaber duels, and a host of weird and wonderful robots and alien creatures.

Your Flipnotes could be inspired by any aspect of the Star Wars franchise, new and old, or the celebration of National Star Wars day itself (with fandom, cosplay, parties, conventions, and the like).

How about making an animation, a photo-import Flipnote, an illustration, or an MV?

And why not cast your PCs and OCs in the starring roles?

Whatever you decide, may the Force (May the 4th) be with you!

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 - National Star Wars Day and the deadline for your entries is May the 11th (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.
