PREJOIN IS NOW OVER

Stay tuned for the official grand opening on January 10th!

If you participated in prejoin, please check the Prejoin Rewards Tracker for your name and ensure all the info, numbers, rewards, etc are correct - this is what we will be referring to when sending out rewards later so it's important that they are accurate! If not, please message Cassidy with what needs to be fixed ASAP. Thank you!



After three weeks, we are now entering the fourth and FINAL WEEK of our prejoin phase! If you've recently found our TCG and want to secure prejoin status for yourself once we officially open, make sure you read the Prejoin Information thread over on the forums and make an account under the same name you will use when joining the TCG later. Prejoin ends on January 3rd!

Remember, in order to obtain prejoin status, you must complete any ONE (1) of the following options at the bare minimum:
  • Donating at least 1 deck (Donating during pre-prejoin does NOT count!)
  • Donating at least 1 graphic set (any graphic type is allowed, as long as it's 1 full and complete set)
  • Participating in at least 1 round of Your Idol, the Special Challenge, or SPARKLING! Lotto (you do not need to participate in all - just one is fine!)
You can, of course, participate in more than one part of prejoin but if you're short on time, just doing one of these options is all you need!

If you joined the forums during the prejoin period but DID NOT PARTICIPATE in any prejoin activities then you will *not* get prejoin status once we open, even though your forum account was made during the correct time frame.

DONATIONS

This is also a reminder that graphic donation limits are doubled during prejoin meaning you can earn twice the amount of rewards if you were to max out the normal monthly limit allowed! If you haven't maxed out your graphic donations yet and want to get all possible rewards plus the bonus reward for maxed donations, then make sure to drop those off before the end of prejoin.

There is also a new bonus perk for those who have maxed out their prejoin deck donations where you can request ONE (1) deck from the current prejoin donations to be made and released within the first month of opening -OR- a deck from upcoming to be released within the first month of opening instead. Just make sure to add the request form to the confirmation form in the Deck Donations thread to submit your choice!

I'd also like to remind those of you who are still donating decks to remember we ask for the gacha/event name for card info, not the card's individual name itself - unless there is no gacha/event name associated with the card, then you can write the card name instead. Please refer to the Card Resource List on the site credits page for links to various card archive/info sites of most of the current series/games we have, if you need help figuring out where to find that info and/or are looking for more images to donate!

OTHER NEWS

With there being only one week left of prejoin, here's a round up of what's happened--and is happening--now!

  • Staff Hiring is now closed! I will be contacting those who have been hired within this next week and working on getting everyone and everything set up by opening. Any positions not filled at that point will be opened back up when we're officially open so there will be another chance to volunteer if you missed it this time!

  • Deck Voting to decide the decks we have released at opening is now open! You can only vote if you've donated at least 5 decks during prejoin however, so if you meet that requirement then you can submit your voting form here. Only one form can be submitted per person!

  • All prejoin games will be ending this upcoming Saturday as well so if you haven't yet but wanted to, do make sure you participate before they close on the 3rd: Your Idol (Round 004), Special Challenge, and SPARKLING! Lotto

  • We are still accepting early Producer Cards requests for anyone who wants to get their MC made in advance so it's ready to go once we open and you request your starter pack bonus! If you apply for it and end up not retaining your prejoin status then the status on it will be edited to reflect that once we open.
Once again, thank you everyone for your interest, participation, and help during prejoin!! After everything finishes on the 3rd, we will take one week to get new staff settled in and prepare for the official grand opening which is still currently planned for January 10th - see you all then!

We are open for prejoin!

Members: There are currently no new members.
After much teasing from me on the Discord, SPARKLING! is now open for prejoin - welcome, everyone!! Prejoin starts today and is expected to end on January 3rd 2026 in the new year, with a projected grand opening on January 10th! Of course, these dates are subject to change in case things get delayed but I hope to open this sooner than later because I'm very excited for it :3c

GETTING STARTED

First, it's important to know that prejoin is limited to the forums! That means signing up on the site itself is not ready yet, as that will be available once we officially open so if you want to participate in prejoin, you must make a forum account. Just make sure to use the same name as you will join the TCG with for your username, so we know you aren't a bot/spam account! Accounts are currently self-approval through a link sent to your email, so make sure you use one you actually check. If you're having problems making or logging into your account though, please message us on Discord!

You can find all the prejoin activities and information you'll need in the Prejoin sub-forum but please make sure you start with the information thread first before posting anywhere or doing anything!! If you have any questions regarding prejoin, you can ask in that same thread or on our Discord in the #faq-and-help channel.

For those of you who donated during pre-prejoin, please also check the Upcoming List to make sure all your donations were made and added. If you see anything missing and/or any other errors (related to decks or anything about the site/forums really), please let me know in the Prejoin Error Reporting thread!!

DONATIONS

As you'll find out once you read through the information thread, we *are* accepting new deck donations along with graphic donations! If you donate during pre-prejoin as well, you can still donate during prejoin but please go over the info carefully, as I've already written out how donations will work for those of you who this applies to.

Deck donations will be handled on-site but you do not need to have a TCG account to do so. You will, however, still need a forum account so we can double check names! While anyone is free to donate, whether you participated during pre-prejoin or are just finding the TCG now, we just want to make sure you're an actual future member and not some random account or bot who is filling up the form.

Graphic donations will be handled on the forums instead so make sure to read the guidelines for those then donate away there! Because we're currently an one-admin operation, it may take me some time to get to everything but I will add approved graphic donations to the site as I'm able to.

STAFF HIRING

In the mean time, yes, we are also hiring for future staff once the TCG opens! You can find all the information for what jobs we're looking for, requirements, etc over in the Staff Hiring sub-forum. If you're interested in helping me out, take a look and submit an application form!

All positions listed in the threads are open, unless otherwise stated. If we hire you early, you may also be asked to help out during prejoin but otherwise, most jobs won't start until after prejoin to prepare for opening OR until after we open, depending on the position!

As I write this, I realize I forgot to put together the deck making app but I will update the General Staff thread with it, and other information that may be needed, after this when it's done. Once this note is crossed out, it means it has been added! I will also post an announcement on our Discord as well. The Deck Making App is now available in the General Staff Hiring thread! Additional information regarding deck maker expectations/requirements has also been added so please give it another read if you already looked at it.
