I'm delighted that several people won their very first Quills today, that's super exciting. An extra big congratulations to them. *Bigsmile*

And now, a special announcement. Firstly, we have commissioned a new merit badge for The Quills. Some of you may have seen it announced on the newsfeed by The StoryMistress Author Icon.

All our honorable mentions this year will receiving this fancy new merit badge!

Merit Badge in Quill Honorable Mention
[Click For More Info]

Congratulations on your new merit badge! Thank you for supporting the Writing.Com community with your inspirations, participation and activities. We sincerely appreciate it! -SMs

If you have been awarded an honorable mention for a Quill Award in a previous year and would like to add this fabulous new merit badge to your collection, we will be happy to send them out at a cost of 10k each. Please note that we will NOT be worrying about community recognition (i.e. we will not be waiting 14 days between merit badges) for these backdated ones. The reason they will cost 10k and we won't be allowing for CR is that all previous HMs have already received a merit badge, just not this particular merit badge. Let me know if you'd like yours and I'll arrange to send them through. I will, of course, be confirming all previous HMs according to our records, so please allow me some time.

And secondly, we have commissioned fancy new Quill awardicons! Our Quill winners will be receiving these fabulous awardicons.

** Image ID #2245236 Unavailable **

Well, that about wraps up the PreQuill. The official Quills ceremony will be next Saturday, 22 May at 5pm WDC time. We will be presenting all the remaining Quill Awards. Make sure you're there!
