Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Weekly Topic competition.
We had a great response to last week's topic “Genie of the Lamp”, and a selection of our favorite winning entries are coming up.
But first here's some great news about our Sudofox Plushy campaign.
Sudofox Plushy Campaign
We're delighted to inform you all that the Sudofox Plushy Campaign was a fantastic success, and we will be making a manufacturing sample, and then promoting it next year.
Orders will open up on the day of the birthday bash. So get ready for a double celebration!
And next, a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.

And now, our winning Flipnotes from last week’s Topic “Genie of the Lamp“.
Well done to everyone who entered.
In the first of our Topic winning selection this week, by Kêithkash★ a magical Walmart Genie grants its master three very unusual wishes.
But with cunning, guile, and an all-encompassing final wish, things work out very nicely for junk food enthusiasts across the world.
Our next Topic winner, by MuhⓁington, stars a PC Genie with the power to grant infinite wishes.
However, much to the jinn’s dismay, their new master not only shamefully squanders their wishes on cash, but then proceeds to ask for it all, one dollar at a time!
With a mythical twist of a deplorable prank, our next Topic winner, by Alemations, asserts a double warning for all would-be masters of the lamp.
“Don’t rub-n-run, and NEVER Ding-Dong-Ditch a Genie!”
These are wise words indeed, as this Genie is not above delivering swift justice to the unwary prankster.
And that concludes last week’s Topic winners.
Now onto this week's new Topic description.
This Weeks Topic - "Drinking Straws"
Drinking straws are traditionally thin plastic tubes used simply to suck liquids into the mouth. But they can also bend, curl, and spiral like crazy spaghetti junctions of beverage delivery, with colorful decoration, characterful features, and elaborate adornments to quench a thirst in extraordinary style!
(See “Crazy drinking straws” Images - Online)
Your Flipnotes could include, or use drinking straws of any kind you can come up with, and in any way you like;
Make an elaborate straw-masterpiece, turn a straw into a cartoon character, involve straws in a fun comedy sketch, or how about an MV using color and movement to follow their liquid refreshment on its tubular path.
And with the festive season now underway, why not include them in a party/celebration theme.
What animations can you create featuring drinking straws?
Let us know in the form of a Flipnote, and start making a Topic entry 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 - Drinking Straws and the deadline for your entries is December the 14th (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.
