Greeting from the Wintercandlemakers, 

As the framework for WFOL 2012 takes shape behind the Great Hall doors, we are ready to begin decorating and for that we need your help. Everyone has their own unique taste and it is in that diversity that Winterfest Online comes alive. We have started to receive contributions from some of you and we thank you for leading the way. For those of you working on your submissions, we eagerly await their arrival.  Not sure how to contribute to the festivities?

Check out our general suggestions and guidelines here:

Remember though, these are just broad ideas. The creativity of this fandom is legendary so don’t be limited by these proposals. There is nothing more exciting than to receive something unique and inspired by Beauty and the Beast.  Have an idea and not sure how to proceed? We would be more than happy to be of help. We are counting on each of you to help fill the Hall with beautiful “decorations” for everyone to enjoy.   

Are you working on stories or poems to submit? We'd love to present them to the Winterfest guests for you. We do ask that the stories be no more than 25,000 words in length. If you can't figure out how to make your word processor give you a word count, you may want to try this tool:  http://www.wordcounttool.com/ 

One thing to remember: Mouse will have his stuff in by January 8th and you need to remember, "Early, come before Mouse.  Late, come after." 

Treasure Hunt:  One of the most beloved traditions of Winterfest Online is the Treasure Hunt. This activity is simply not possible without the help of those creative people who are webmasters in the Beauty and the Beast world.  Please consider being a part of this cooperative endeavor. It is so much fun and enjoyed by so many.  And as a side perk, it is a great way to advertise your site!   

If you have any concerns or questions, you can always contact us at
