Amaranth Legacy Monthly Newsletter

Issued May 2025
By Skorne, Tess

Hey everyone!

We had an incredible May, and I’m thrilled to share some of the amazing things we accomplished. May holds particular significance, as it marks the ten-year anniversary of Amaranth Legacy!

Founded on May 15, 2025 by morbiusgreen, it’s truly mind-blowing how far we’ve come. And as we look toward the future, our community has never been more active, inspired, or excited to keep moving ever-onward; towards another ten years of creation, collaboration, and Amaranth Legacy!

Here’s to an even better June!

Ten-Year Anniversary

As mentioned above: May 28, 2025 marked the ten-year anniversary of Amaranth Legacy's founding by morbiusgreen. A history page is available at Amaranth Legacy:History which details the events that led up to the community being what it is now.

Ten more years!

Welcoming New Members

In May, we extended a warm welcome to the newest additions to the Amaranth Legacy community:

Website

  • Aussie Ameoba — Site Member / Author
  • Eggtoasty — Site Member
  • Chicago Offical — Site Member
  • Hennaperson — Site Member / Author
  • InterceptTomato — Site Member / Author
  • James The Comic Creator — Site Member
  • Raebies — Site Member / Author
  • SillyCyberSnake — Returning Member / Author

Discord

  • accuratecelestial — Discord User
  • Kegumabon — Discord User

We're glad to have you with us, and we are looking forward to everything you’ll bring to the community!

New Scopes

In the month, several new creative universes have joined the Amaranth Legacy library!

Explore the latest additions from our community:

Studio Namespace

We've expanded the range of content which you can put on the website; now, non-lore, non-narrative content can also be put in the Studio: namespace. For example, comics, essays, works meta to a Scope, and other non-normative works fit in the Studio: namespace.

Example

Studio Page
This page contains content considered to be outside of the normal sphere of lore or tales. It may concern canonical content for a respective Scope.

One-Shot Scope

This month, we expanded the site to include One-Shot articles; standalone settings, stories, or concepts that exist entirely within a single page. Designed for self-contained writings, One-Shots are perfect for creative experiments, speculative vignettes, or one-off worldbuilding ideas that don’t tie into larger universes.

Example

"What really happens is that the story-maker proves a successful 'sub-creator'."
This page is a One-Shot as its setting and content are isolated to this page.
If this is later expanded on another page, replace this template with the appropriate Scope template.

Committee System Implementation

To help people focus and collaborate on specialized or Scope-specific tasks, we have implemented the Committee System. You may be a member of up to four Scope committees and four general committees at any time. To create a committee, you must have at least four total members (including yourself) who are interested and want to participate. Some examples of committes include the Template and Styling Committee, the Onboarding & Outreach Committee, the Cosmoria Committee, and the Silky Way Committee.

Template & Tool Releases

We've finalized and updated some templates for community member usage:

Article Drive

May’s week-long Article Drive saw a wide range of submissions from community members who set personal goals to create, update, or reformat content across the site. Whether it was developing entirely new pieces or improving older pages, contributors worked hard to meet their targets.

All pages submitted as Article Drive goals:

Thank you to everyone who participated in this Month's Article Drive!

Article Challenge

In celebration of our ten-year anniversary, the May 2025 Article Challenge's theme was Amaranth. We received eight submissions from non-staff community members and six submissions from staff community members.

Non-staff

Staff

Category Awards

Profile Contest

Our Monthly Community Drive for May was a Profile Contest, where Site Members and Authors were encouraged to creatively update and personalize their user profiles!

Participants

Winners

Congratulations to both winners, and thank you to all who participated. Be sure to check out each of their profiles!
