Happy December B&B Friends!
We've done a little remodeling of our website. You'll now find Chan's home page, including the B&B Museum, the Fan Fic Database, and Songs of the Bluebird, at http://batbtv.com.
The entrance to Winterfest Online will be at http://batbwfol.com, where – for now – you'll find submission guidelines, announcements an a few other things.
We haven't yet mentioned the submission deadline! It'sJanuary 6 - but we would appreciate your submissions as soon as you have them ready.
If you have a B&B website and would like to be part of our annual treasure hunt, please let us know ASAP. Remember, we have a way of making it easier to participate this year. Don't be afraid to offer your site.
Please send us any names you would like us to include in the memorial Circle
.
Lastly, one more suggestion, this time for the vidders. We would like to see videos that tell a new story. For example, add some T2 footage to B&B clips to make a SND video.
The deadline is approaching, so everyone pull out your creative caps and get busy!
Questions? Submissions ready?

Hello BATB fans,
Here's a little candle with an interesting idea for you to consider.
For years, we have been coordinating Round Robin stories for Winterfest. This year, we decided to let you share in the coordinating fun. Gather a group of BATB friends and take turns writing. You needn't have a group of 9, nor is there a restriction on how many chapter each person can write. This is your round robin - write it as you like. It could be two people alternating paragraphs - a duel, if you will. It could be a poem. It could be a group of 4 taking turns writing a drabble (exactly 100 words). It could be like the round robins you've seen at Winterfest in the past, or anything in between.
Please keep the finished story to a maximu of 25,000 words total. You may make note of who wrote which part, or just submit a list of authors. Remember not to post any part of the story publicly before Winterfest. If coordinating your share writing by email is too complicated, we suggest using a tool like Google Docs, or creating your own private yahoo group.
You don't have any writing partners, you say?
You may be able to find some on one of the active B&B groups.
And hey - why not recruit an artist or two into your group and submit an illustrated story? :-)
Have fun as you take an old tradition and put your own spin on it.

Hello fellow fans,
We promised you some special submission ideas this year… so start your engines!
If our Beauty and the Beast show was premiering today, how would you promote it? Can you come up with a catchy new tag line, such as this classic: “So romantic you can feel it!” How would you use that tag line in a print ad? Grab some screen caps or photos, throw in some text, mix well, and create your own poster ad. For you vidders out there, create a 30-second ad video for the series as a whole or a specific episode. Let’s blow those original ads out of the water!
Halloween is almost here. We have always wished there had been more than one Halloween episode in Beauty and the Beast. Maybe you would like to write one? <Poke, poke> And speaking of Halloween, will any of you be carving Beauty and the Beast inspired pumpkins this year? If you can keep it secret until Winterfest, send us a picture to share in the WFOL crafts gallery.
And that got us thinking about how much our friends Below are on our minds throughout the year. For any holiday that inspires you (Thanksgiving, the winter solstice, Groundhog Day - whatever floats your boat), write a story or poem, or create some B&B art or crafts. Or a holiday vid!
Our official submission guidelines will be posted soon. For now, remember to keep stories to 25,000 words or less, and don't feel like you have to make it anywhere close to that limit.
Short stories are perfectly fine.

So put your minds in gear, pick your own finish line, and start creating something for WFOL 2013.

The First Candle 2013

Greetings fellow BATB fans,
"This is no ordinary candle. This is for Winterfest, a special time, a time to remember the past and dream about the future. Winterfest will be incomplete unless "you" are there."
Ten years ago, those words were sent out "inviting fans from every cyber tunnel… to share fun, creative talents and the company of others."
Today that invitation is extended once again to all those in the Beauty and the Beast community. Winterfest Online's ten-year anniversary is quite the milestone and we are still here because you WERE there. Our upcoming gathering will take place February 2 - 10, 2013.
As the wintercandlemakers begin the preparations for WFOL2013, we are hopeful that this year's feast will provide a kaleidoscope for the senses. Art. Poetry and literature. Music. Recipes. Crafts. Any and all creative endeavors. But as always, we are depending on you.
More candles will be delivered throughout the tunnels in the months to come, offering tips and suggestions for your participation. There is a deep pool of talent in the BATB community and we are hoping for a virtual flood of submissions!
If there are any questions, you may contact us at
