Angelfish Aquarium's Bulletins
Angelfish Writer & Guest Artist Applications
Hello! We are looking to expand our team and invite some people to help us create content for Angelfish!
- While we are not looking exclusively for people active within the Angelfish community, we would like people who are familiar with the species
- The minimum age requirement to apply is 16
- Both jobs come with compensation, which is detailed under their own individual header
- For any questions, you may contact QIMERIC or GHOSTHYX on deviantart or toyhouse
Application Here
Submissions will be perpetually open, until we decide we no longer need to search for more artists.
We are looking to take on a small team of Artists/Guest Artists to help assist in adoptable creation! We are prioritizing interesting design concepts and experience with creating adoptables.
Guest Artist Vs. Artist
In order to make sure whoever we take on is compatible with our current team, we are providing all potential artists a 1 month trial period. People in this trial period are referred to as 'Guest Artists', because they are not yet (nor may intend to be) fully recruited onto the team. Any member of the team who is an 'Artist' has a few more perks than a Guest Artist, and a permanent position in the group. Please view the chart below to compare a Guest Artist position and an Artist position.
| Guest Artist | Artist | |
|---|---|---|
| Recieves full funds from adoptables | ||
| Recieves free MYO slots | Only 1 | On a regular basis |
| Time limit | 1 month | No time limit |
| Adoptable creation limit | 10 max | Unlimited |
Application Here
Submissions will only be open for a month, until 11/10/20 at 11:59 PM.
We are looking for a single writer to assist in writing flavor text. This entails creating narrative, location focused writing. Text will be around 100-400 words per piece, and will be used on different pages to help create an atmosphere. The contents of the writing will be guided, meaning you will be making content based off of a prompt, not from scratch. Please look at the paragraph below to see what kind of writing we are looking for.
Landing on Llyr, you find yourself surrounded by bright, flashing lights and buildings reaching from the oceans to the skies. The cities are packed tightly with people bustling about, mostly tourists from across the galaxy, alien species roaming the streets wearing sunglasses and shorts. It’s easy to see why it’s such a hot spot for travellers; the sun beams down with a pleasant warmth and it always smells of sea foam, a warm breeze making it the perfect vacation spot. Vendors sell knick knacks and the smell of traditional Angelfish food wafts down the streets, accompanied by the robotic songs of spaceships flying ahead. The cities are built upon massive structures above the water- be careful not to look down; some of the docks are made of glass. The water below is crystal clear, and everything is accompanied by the noise of gentle waves and people chattering in hundreds of different languages.
The writer position also has a trial period, to make sure you are compatible with our current team. During the trial period, you will recieve a MYO slot. Once you are a full member of the team, you will recieve regular MYO slots, a cut from MYO slot sales, and the ability to participate in mod adopt batches.

Hello! As you can see, the world looks a bit different. I coded all the CSS myself, but I'm not an expert, so if you encounter any bugs/glitches please let me know!
The only thing thats been moved is how pages are organized. They've all been sorted into folders, and any new pages that we may create will also be put in folders.
Archive: This is just a list of links to any bulletins/events posted here. The way bulletins are organized is hard to see, so this is just for archives of those things.
Information: Has any Angelfish related information, like the MYO guide, species info, and TOS.
Feel free to comment or post a question on our questions forum if you need any help!
July Updates - 07/01/20
First off, we want to say thank you to everyone who has joined in our event so far! It means a lot to us, and it's so wonderful to see fish being made! We would also like to thank everyone for their patience while we work out what is working/isn't working.
We are working on adjusting the way the Toyhouse world looks! This change will mostly be visual, but some things (MYO guide, TOS, etc.) may be relocated to a more convient place. If these things are changed, an update post will be given, detailing where you can find everything.
You may also notice submission forms changing slightly—this is just so the mods can update things easier. Some of the forms have much less information on them than is actually needed, so a change is necessary.
The free MYO event is still ongoing, and you can still claim slots + rare traits! You can join the event here! Slot claiming will close on 07/09/20!
If you have already claimed a slot, remember that you have until 08/06/20 to finish your MYO design and submit it! Information on extensions will be given the closer we get to closing time. Any slots not used by this time will be voided, so make sure to get your design in!
Due to the free MYO event, there will be no MYO sales this month.
There are adopts in progress, though the time and type of sale will be kept hidden until they are released! Previews will be posted in the Angelfish discord.
