French Fry Appreciation Week Wrap Up

Sep 22, 20242 min read

Updated: Nov 27, 2024

The first ever Character Appreciation Week was, September 8th - 14th, and it stared the loveable trash griffin/pigecoon, French Fry, from the Gate of Myth and Power trilogy!


Thanks to all my team for making this silly and fun event happen! I had so much fun looking over the entries but it wouldn't have been possible without the work of the Facebook Group moderators and Discord Mod Squad!

If you weren't able to participate, don't worry, you can still have fun with me reviewing all the awesome Champion creations!


Memes

The Discord Champions did not disappoint and successfully defended their title as the reigning "Experts of Memes". To see the full list of hilarious entries check the Discord server (Not sure how to join Discord? There are instructions on this webpage.) or I will be posting samples every Monday on my Facebook page and Instagram.


Here are links to each of the Facebook meme posts where I shared examples if you don't want to join Discord:


And here's an example of one of the memes by Lexi Jo:


French Fry (the character) artwork

There are so many talented Champions who are part of our community! There were so many cute fan art and fan works, and yes I loved all the coloring page entries as well. If this inspired you to color you can find French Fry's coloring page on my website. You can see all the entries on the Facebook Group and tagged on my Instagram profile.


Here are links to each of the Facebook artwork posts:

French Fry (the food) photos

Ok, I realize this was a really strange game - asking everyone to take photos of french fries is not a typical book game - but it was super fun to see the entries! French Fry would definitely approve! I'm going to share all of them in this post (I modified them to include French Fry and the name of the photographer!). You can find the originals on the Facebook group!















 
 

SheaCon: Jigsaw Puzzles (Book Covers and Maps)

Sep 4, 20243 min read

SheaCon is a weekend of K.M. Shea themed fun held on a private discord server different from Kitty’s main server. SheaCon 2024 was in July but for the first time ever this year we are releasing many of the games as blog posts so you can have fun with them whenever you want!


The Jigsaw puzzles have been an ongoing SheaCon favorite game which also means there are a LOT of them we can share with you! We are breaking them up into multiple posts so the list is not overwhelming and the first set is book cover images and maps! (Just for K. M. Shea books, the A. M. Sohma books will be featured later.)


Helpful Puzzle Hints:


  • If you want to be able to save your progress and not accidentally lose your work, you do have to sign up for a jigidi account. (It is the website where all the puzzles are hosted.) This is free, and you can come back to puzzles you’ve started to finish later.


  • If you sign up for a free account, you can go under the puzzles tab and bookmark puzzles that you want to save to complete at a later time. Under the same puzzles tab, you can also access puzzles that are in progress or puzzles that you’ve completed and want to finish again.


  • There is a zoom feature (the + and - in the corner) that can be very helpful in limiting optometrist visits after looking at small puzzle pieces.


  • Use the three dots icon in the upper right corner to open the puzzle panel to view the image and access the more advanced features like:

    • Change the background color under the puzzle timer. (Just click a colored box, and you’ll be able to try out which background color you prefer.)

    • You can pause the puzzle timer if you need to step away but still want to keep time.

SheaCon Crossword Puzzles

Aug 14, 20242 min read

I have a super fun game to share with you Champions! As part of FebFest 2024 and SheaCon 2024 the lovely Ayrin was inspired by the Gate of Myth and Power character Sunshine's love of crosswords to create these K.M. Shea/A.M. Sohma book related crossword puzzles! And she didn't limit herself to the Magiford books so there is something for everyone to enjoy here!



You’ll find below all the crossword puzzles she created for the events. If you get stuck and need help the Champions on Discord and the Facebook Group would love to assist you!


Here are some practical tips for using the crossword puzzle website:

  • None of the answers are capitalized, so use lower-case for all responses!

  • Hitting “enter” will take you to the next numbered clue!

  • An answer will be green once it is entered correctly!

  • Spelling matters, and open-book is allowed! (All are welcome to dig through the books in search of answers!)

  • You’ll know once a puzzle is complete—the website will give you a special indication!
