Bertrande makes her return as Jassart pays her a visit in Chapter 6 Page 8. What is he up to? What is she up to? Nothing good, that’s for sure.

Almanac – Nuit Longue
March 7th, 2013This week’s Almanac is Nuit Longue – the Longest Night. It is the holiday that Blaise mentions in his conversation with Mathilde in the chocolate house. It’s the Winter Solstice, Yule, and New Year’s Eve all rolled into one.
Only a few more days left to vote for your favorite entry in our Art Contest. I’m impressed with all of the entries and overwhelmed that so many good artists submitted something to us. Good luck to all of you.
And we have another contest going on. Snow by Night earned a place in Comic Mix’s 2013 Webcomic Tournament. Snow by Night is in the second bracket (titled the Kubert bracket), paired against Dreamland Chronicles (a fine webcomic). Please give us your vote. We greatly appreciate your support.

The 16 entries with the highest vote totals will move onto the Sweet 16 where we will pick up with single elimination. The vote totals for the qualifying round will also determine each entries’ rank for the single elimination rounds. 1 will be paired with 16. 2 will be paired with 15 and so forth. Head on over to the Art Contest page and vote for your favorite entry!
Almanac – Chocolate
March 1st, 2013This week’s Almanac entry is Chocolate. In colonial times chocolate was made into a drink and not eaten. Solid chocolate will have to wait for another century before the Dutch … er I mean Kleefish process cocoa powder that makes solid chocolate possible. This delectable drink is all the rage of society, and has lead to the creation of the chocolate house. They were so prolific that they were the Starbucks of the 18th century. They became social hot spots, especially for students. Yes, students have been lounging around in chocolate houses coffee shops for centuries.
Only one day more to submit to our Art Contest. Draw a picture of one of the characters of Snow by Night — any one you want from any chapter and any vignette in any setting, style, or medium that you want (but please keep it PG). Cash prizes (and a lot of cheering by the Snow by Night team) for the winners. Deadline is March 1 at midnight (Eastern time).
