We recently lost a very dear member of our community here at

minoanmiss loved creating and connecting with people. She was a really special person, and her thoughtful packages, art postcards and stickers brought so much joy to those in her orbit.

We say goodbye to our friend

minoanmiss, and will always remember her fondly.

Remembering Minoanmiss

"Minoanmiss was an active participant right from the start of our drawesome community back in 2017. In her own words: "This community has been absolutely WONDERFUL for me, and I can't say enough how much I enjoy participating here."

She let everyone feel welcome, commenting, drawing for almost every challenge (sometimes multiple pieces) and suggesting many creative challenge ideas herself (a lot of which were later used to spark everyone's creativity).

Her first artistic contribution was Poison Ivy for the second challenge, and she continued to delight us with more characters from comics universes, mermaids, figures from mythology and of course Minoan ladies (sometimes in space).

We are going to miss her dearly."

I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.
