The Slice of Life Club now has Candy Cane Grams! What's a Candy Cane Gram you ask? A Candy Cane Gram is a Christmas card that you
can request to have sent to your friends on MAL along with a message. It's the season of giving, so why not send your friends a card? Click here to visit the Candy Cane Gram request thread!
This is just a reminder to everyone who is participating in the Secret Santa Event to please have your gifts sent to toridoshi by the 23rd!
Also, please stop by our chat thread to meet new friends!
This part of the newsletter isn't exactly Christmas related, but the Slice of Life Club has two new threads for members to be informed about.
1.)Slice of Life Club Official Gamer Thread
Do you play Osu! or League of Legends and would like more people to play with? Perhaps you have a 3DS and would like to exchange friend codes to play games like
Pokemon together with others? Are you looking for more friends on Steam? The Official Gamer thread has it all!
2.)Suggestion Thread
Do you have a suggestion for the club that you would like to share? This thread is for members of the Slice of Life Club to share any suggestions they might have, be it big or small. We would like for our club to keep improving as we grow, and we would also like for all of our members to feel like they have a place here.
Now onto our weekly Male Character Competition updates: It all comes down to this! Who of the remaining two will be crowned as our champion?!
The Slice of Life Club has a new layout! To help our members get into the Christmas spirit, we've put a little something festive up. We hope that all of our members have a happy and safe holiday season!

[u]Secret Santa Information:[/u]
It is time for our third annual Secret Santa event! Every year for Christmas we have our members signup to exchange presents with each other. Every person who signs up will be private messaged a name of another participating member to make a gift for. You will be assigned someone at random, so I'm afraid you can't pick who you get to play Santa for. The point of this event is to try to have members meet new friends and to spread the Christmas spirit!
Are you not confident with your graphic designing or writing skills? Do not worry! There are plenty of gifts you can make for your target that do not involve those things; any gift that you put some amount of effort into is an acceptable gift. Examples of some gift ideas are the following:
- Graphic design gift (banner, profile picture, signature, badge, layout, etc)
- A fanfiction
- A poem
- A list of anime recommendations for that specific person (your target) and why you would recommend them each show.
- A drawing
- A video
- A song performed by you
- A folder full of high quality fanart of the target's favorite character
etc...
There are plenty of things you can do if you put your mind to it. Click here to signup!
[u]Scavenger Hunt Information[/u]
The Slice of Life Club will be hosting a scavenger hunt to celebrate Christmas! Staff members will hide different colored Christmas tree ornaments all around MAL throughout December. You will have to search through profile pages, blogs, old posts in MAL forums, old clubs, etc to find the ornaments. Does that sound too hard? Do not worry! We understand that it would be impossible without hints, so we plan to give out many hints about the locations each day. I will be splitting participants up into groups of three (meaning you'll have a couple of teammates to help you search). At the end of the event, the top three teams will get a winners banner to display on their profiles/blogs. Click here to signup!
We will also have some Christmas themed card editions, and special Christmas cards that you can request to have sent to your friends.
We hope you'll join in on our festivities and spend Christmas with us!

Hello, everyone! I'm sending out this newsletter to inform everyone of a competition that the Slice of Life Club is currently hosting! If you're interested in voting on character polls, cute girls and/or winning a profile picture or banner, then keep reading!
The Slice of Life Club is hosting a Moe Competition! The competition will go on from now until September. I've split all of the characters up into four different groups. Each group will come down to a finalist and all four finalists will face off in a championship round. In total, there will be five different voting rounds (including the championship round). As promised back in November, the winner of the competition will be featured on the club layout and the finalists will have a special card edition made in their honor.
For additional information on the Moe Competition and match schedules, click here!
