Pleek you could've just made some **** up like "oh this image doesn't work with my software haha can you choose something else 🤪" I'd have believed you!!

The way I actually just redid both your and Invisibility's tokens because I kinda was rushing them this morning and even though they still looked good, I knew if I spent a little longer on them both they'd end up even better... and boy, was I right?!  I can't wait to debut these ones.

I don’t mind a basic square  but if you find something a little fancier and what to try that, I don’t mind either way, your tokens always look great so I trust your vision 🙏🏼

I apologise in advance if your token ends up not looking as good as the others because I fear I really outdid myself with those and I am not sure if a square can compare... but I will try to make it the most perfect square imaginable!

Idk why but Christmas tracks feel classy while Halloween tracks feel tacky for me so it took me a whike to think of what to do. 

Have you considered subverting that expectation and making a classy Halloween song? Some humble pumpkin carving, yard decorating, pumpkin spice latte enjoying romantic bliss?  OK now I kinda wanna write this song...

Not 18 hours left and I too am serving Whitney

OK scrap that... square supremacy is kinda here.

I’m actually getting a little anxious cause I still need to figure out pre-chorus and polish some parts but the clock is ticking !!

Hey, Hitmakers! Although Halloween is over, there's still time left on the countdown clock for Round 2's Spooky Tunes challenge. Treat us! 🎃
Remember, if you've only just discovered Golden Hit or simply didn't wish to participate in Round 1, fear not: sign-ups are still open—just submit!

 

As some of you may recall, prior to this season a survey was conducted to ensure the future of Golden Hit was the best for everyone involved.

Although the classic Hit Tokens ultimately won in the poll, there was still a good amount of support for the S4 style Hit Tokens. So we listened! ✨

This season, Hit Tokens will be presented in their classic form, as well as with an ornate background, making them even better for ATRL avatars.

 

With that, it's time to present the top three of last round's Wanderlust challenge with their bonus prizes: the Hit Tokens!

I've reviewed the requests from our trio of top writers for the week, and done my best to grant them for embossment.

 

 

Celebrating a third place triumph with “The Square” and its boundary-breaking 8.443 score:

@fountain

Here is your Bronze Hit Token embossed with your ATRL username and a square.

Congratulations! This is your first Hit Token of S5, and first Hit Token of Golden Hit overall (excluding your judge's tokens)!

 

 

Celebrating a second place success with “Corchito” and its crystallizing 8.75 score:

@Invisibility

Here is your Silver Hit Token embossed with your requested name and FKA twigs.

Congratulations! This is your first Hit Token of S5, and fourth Hit Token of Golden Hit overall!

 

 

Celebrating a first place finish with “Sea of Stars” and its sparkling 8.777 score:

@Hug

Here is your Golden Hit Token embossed with your ATRL username and Zale from Sea of Stars.

Congratulations! This is your first Hit Token of S5, and ninth Hit Token of Golden Hit overall (excluding your judge's token)!

 

I hope you all enjoy your Hit Tokens as much as I did making them! Feel free to use them as a forum avatar if you wish, or just let them be a reminder of your time in Golden Hit—ultimately the choice is yours, and if for whatever reason you are dissatisfied with your token or simply wish to change the embossed graphic/text please contact me and I can arrange a remake. Remember, the top three writers of each round will earn their own Hit Token just like the three above, so make sure to submit each week for the best chance to claim one of these bonus prizes.

isn't dia de los muertos a world day? Here in Brazil today is "dia de finados" (dia de los muertos) but not so flashy like Mexico, people only go to the cemetery change flowers, but it still "a national holiday", if u go to a cemetery u have to wait a long time to enter due the amount of people coming.

 

I guess maybe this is more of a Catholic thing...

it’s viewed as a Mexican holiday here in the US but it could just be American ignorance as usual?

you were tagged in the post  but let us know if you need extra time - we should be able to accommodate entries at least through saturday

"Mexican" = anything south of the border in American English, so this probably checks out.

 

Also yep unlike last week I haven't reviewed a single entry yet (not even opened the submissions dock) so if you'd submitted none, once, twice, or thrice, I wouldn't know a thing. Sorry to those writers.

Also ATRL has been having a lot of server issues recently so I wouldn't be surprised if the notifications weren't working properly or something.

If I remember correctly, the last time I got a notification, round one was still being promoted in the title    Saturday is my next day off, so I’ll see what I can work up.

Well for future reference, new rounds are always posted on Saturday evenings (EST), so if you get a notification around that time, it's probably for a new round, even if the thread title hasn't been updated just yet.

definitely submit saturday if inspiration strikes regardless of if reviews start being posted! i’m always happy to amend for an extra entry (or 3 like last week  )

[Antikythera]

I have sent mine. This time I really went out there, I did much crazy stuff on this song, maybe too ambitious for someone who English is not his native language.

But if it is not to make something out there, I wouldn't be playing this game!

So you’re telling me I could’ve change my entry this entire time and you wouldn’t clock me again
