Can you believe it guys? Christmas already. We started this website in September and we made it all the way to Christmas!
Although it's been short, I can't help but look back on it, and I feel proud of what we have here. I don't only want to keep doing this, but I want to share it with you more than I already do.
It's because of this that I've decided to expand a bit.
The Champion Gazette opens itself up with an OFFICIAL Discord server. (Click the logo for an invite!)
It's nothing special really, I promise. However, I did want to set up a nice place where people can hang out and have fun. I will also be including some fun details from other projects every now and then, plus maybe some potential ideas to make the Gazette bigger and better.
But that's not all, because I also have a little something extra too.

I may not be an artist, nor do I write all that much outside of here, but I always make sure to deliver some good quality for that special stuff here on the Gazette. It isn't something that I can afford to do all by myself though, not consistently.
Which is why I decided to start a Kofi. I've set up 3 special tiers for monthly payments that give you certain benefits regarding the Gazette.
1. Paid Subscription - You get a special role in the Discord server, as well as a special thank you and shout out at the beginning of each month, shown on the home page, but also immortalized in each monthly interview.
2. PPV Attendee - You get the same benefits as the Paid Subscription, plus early access benefits. You'll be able to see work in progress art that gets commissioned for the monthly interviews and any special articles that may come in the future. Not only that, but you will also get early access to these articles and interviews yourself.
3. Backstage Pass - You get the same benefits as a PPV Attendee, and you will be allowed a few words each month that will be published as part of the upcoming Gossip Column page, where people can say stuff about anything (within reason).
The proceeds I get from the Kofi are meant to go back into the work I make. The Gazette, any future projects, and some personal commissions of my own OCs.
And as a little extra thing, with the hopes that I don't let it sit there collecting dust, with Twitter becoming less and less hospitable by the second, it's past due the time for us to jump ship as well.

We take off for bluer skies starting in January, and we hope to see you there.
Thank you all once again for the support, the love, and the content you make for this community. I am grateful to be a part of it and share it with everyone, and hope that the support and love keeps coming. I have plans, and I know that you're all going to love it.
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
