Mayan rune for Day 15 of the new Bak’tun

I hope that you, like me, have made your New Year’s survival resolutions by now. Whether it be to eat less brains and more zombie berries, or start taking the stairs instead of the hellevators or even just to play a nice game of fruit roll-up frisbee with a ghost every now and then, it’s good to have a goal that will help you stay fit for survival.

Me, my goal is to try to get a few things done around here, including keeping up with This Week In Survival, a column where I try and mostly fail to summarize and link all the important survival news of the week between the full moons.

So here goes. Coming in random order over the next 36 hours, This Week In Survival with links:

*Devorah who disappeared on the Oak Moon after trying to persuade the other werewolves on the site to “turn” her is back. Did she succeed for realz? Or did she just find the lycanthroporous flower lycan left for her and try it out for 24 hours?

*The most abstract being since well, Abstract himself made a cryptic appearance on the site. The Ouroborous Eternal posting worrisomely cryptic one-line SOS updates… What does it mean?

*New entries to the P5t5r Poetry Contest. Who says cyborgs aren’t creative?  WW13 on the topic of Time. Enjoy the poems and/or enter if you dare, but be careful reading these poems. Especially the poem by Moon Song. The Curse of Blood and Bone. Only one safe way to read these… in front of a mirror by candlelight. No wait! Is that how you write them? Turns out the answer is neither..

*The Doctor is going by Time again and he’s up to his old time tricks here on the site. Speeding things up, slowing things down. Did he wolfnap Lycan?   Or was he really saving his life? Hard to keep up with these two…

*The first day of Z’s mission. Or is it a quest? I’ve lost his trail already. Anyone see a giant metal dragon with or without treasure? 

*How did Survivor Foxdemon “Kit” the One Tail recover her star ball? And what will she do with it? Clearly no help from me on this one. Seems like there will be a lot of kitsune activity in 2013.

*Bloodsisterwolf appears to have finally gone kitsune. How did she do it? 

*Why did Half-Breed gone all green wolf? Who is the girl needing saving? 

*Survivor “Soulmuffin” on the site today. Midnightwrath seems a bit concerned about their muffin recipe while Moon Song just seems hungry. I’m with Midnight on this one. What exactly is a soulmuffin anyway?

*New werewolf  werewolf-wizard  wizard-ghost-werewolf or (ghostly wizwolf for short) Firefang locked in their bedroom away from A-51 turning people into hamsters ???  And no, I’m not making that up.

*Will Serbian vampire Sara Saranovic, the second most famous vampire in Serbia end  his campaign of terror…

This Week In Survival

French revolutionaries had very long weeks: 10 days.

(SOS/ASAP/WTF) Introducing the first of an ongoing series, in which I congratulate survivors on another week of supernatural survival and try my best to recap the epic events taking place on our pages, who is surviving and how and why.

So without further ado, if you did in fact succeed in surviving this week Sept. 17, 2012 – congratulations! Keep on keeping on. It was a loooong week. Not quite as long as a vampire week, but at least as long as a French Revolutionary week pictured in this calendar.

(220 years ago today, French Revolutionary survivors officially declared that weeks would henceforth be 10 days long instead of just 7.)

Meanwhile, what’s happening around here? Look below for summaries and links:

1. A big week for witches, who survived equinox or Mabon celebrations this week. Did anyone bake and eat a god this weekend? Ask Bebe here.

2.  This week Pauzzis, a long surviving vampire who succeeded in turning half-mermaid with a full-moon spell last summer and survived the Hunger Games, stopped by to say HI and show us her strange new locket. Read about Pauzzis’ survival here.

3. An enigmatic new survivor named Evranth who is a (no laughing please) vampiric were-turtle *I SAID NO LAUGHING*  (Do you really want to enrage a vampiric were-turtle?) Anyway, Evranth, not content to be both vampire and turtle, now seeks to become draconian. Zyboragon has been helping him survive. Want to help Zyboragon advise Evranth? Click here. (Quietly please. Don’t wake our draconian friend You-know-who.)

(If you don’t know who, better for you. You don’t want to know who.)

4. Baxter the blue collar robot was introduced to the world this week. He costs less than a student load and he’s looking for work on an assembly near you. Got a job for Baxter? Check it out. He brings donuts everyday.

5. An SOS distress call from a new survivor. Lucas the Werelord appears to be facing a werewolf hunter and The Doctor is trying to help him. Got anything you can add? Check it out here.

6. Finally, a warning to all survivors about a certain vampiric being name Nero, who appears to have a form that involves a tail and a blood-hungry friend, is lurking around here and here. To be fair, he does appear to be looking into blood subsitutes but well, judge for yourself.

And that’s about it for this week. If I’ve missed anything please add to the comments below and I will add it.

Coming up? The Singing Moon Surivivor of the month. Now this one will be the ultimate test to see if my app is bugged by a helpy A.I. or not. Will the winner be a singer this month?

Keep on keeping on to find out!
