Hello Eliteforcers,

Welcome to October's Month in Review! This month was a pretty big month, with the Elite Force finale airing, as well as the return of Fanfiction & Fanart Contests, our last Featured Articles, and our third to last chat party! Let's get into everything!

Chat Parties: Tonight, we held our third to last chat party on the Wikia. We held activities such as Elite Force "Who Said What?", Sheep-Shifting Trivia, Elite Force Roleplay, and our Two Minute Spam Session. This month, I have to say, wasn't the best for chat parties. The party went well, but when we had our "break", a lot of users left, leaving us with almost no activity. We kept the party going, but I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the outcome. Hopefully next month we can do better, especially with what is in store next month!

We have an activity that isn't related to Elite Force, a little Thanksgiving special in store (more info will be revealed later), plus the normal, Two Minute Spam Session & Elite Force Roleplay. It will all lead up though to our final, and biggest chat party, the Christmas Celebration Chat Party in December! We have THREE special holiday related activities, plus Elite Force Roleplay, and a special THREE Minute Spam Session! Don't let us down with the activities on these, we want to party until the end! Dates for these include, Friday November 25th @ 7:00PM ET, and Friday December 16th @ 7:00PM ET.

Fanfiction & Fanart Contests: Our Fanfiction & Fanart Contests are wrapping up, with our winners being revealed this Monday! Information on next month's contests will be out November 1st. I can tell you now, the theme for the Fanfiction Contest next month will be "Elite Force Ending". You will be in charge of writing the ending to the cliffhanger finale if you choose to join. Information on the Fanart's theme will come Nov. 1st.

Featured Articles: Also wrapping up this Monday are the winners for this month's Featured Articles. This will be the final month we do it, so these results will stand for good on the homepage. Be sure to get your last minute vote in, it's not too late! Vote here.

Profile Picture Contest: This December, we will be holding the second, and final annual Profile Picture Contest. This was held last year on the Lab Rats Wiki, and it went good. How it works, users entering will have to create a custom profile picture and submit it to the contest! The twist is you have to set it as your own profile picture, and keep it like that until the end of the month. Are you artistic? Then this is the contest for you. More information will be revealed later.

Inactivity for Staff Members: With Thanksgiving & Christmas coming up, it's a time where a lot of users/staff can be inactive, due to vacations, family things, etc. This is okay, but on this wikia, we need to know when you're gone, so we don't demote you for inactivity. If you plan on being gone for a while, let LabRatsFan123 know, so when a Staff check is done, you aren't warned & demoted. Specificity how long you'll be gone for, reason (nothing much, just something like "vacation", etc.), and you'll be excused.

And that's just about it for October! Even though the show is officially over, we're not until 2017! Please stick with us, and help us keep running longer all the way until 2017! Thanks for everything, and I'm looking forward to these last couple of months!

Thanks,
