LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! I hope you all had a wonderful Madness Day! I've been adding some things I missed out on in a playlist to watch later. This year's Madness Day had an incredible turnout this year. The Daily Feature's this week features some Madness as well as entries in the Among Us Animation Jam. We've had more Reanimated Collabs hit the scene and discussed the inner workings of Site Moderation. If you haven't had breakfast yet, I suggest you scroll down to the Newgrounds Kitchen section for a recipe for some amazing pancakes. With that let's get into the happenings of Newgrounds!

Post-Madness News & Updates
An advertisement campaign to run ads on the site will be in motion. It was originally slated to start last week, but it was postponed and then cancelled for the upcoming Halloween celebrations. If you're using an AdBlocker and can't afford a Newgrounds Supporter Subscription, then I ask that you kindly turn off your AdBlocker. It is a way for the site to make money and thrive. These ads are one of the many reasons that this paper that you're reading right now even exists. If you can afford a Supporter Upgrade then by all means help support the site.
A new video player will be launching soon as well. With the dying of Flash imminent, steps are being taken in preserving the content on the site.
Spooky Prizes & Cool Stuff!
The deadline for the Among Us Animation Jam is October 7th, that's next Wednesday. If you haven't finished your piece yet, now is the time to make those finishing touches.
The Halloween Writing Contest is in full force with some wonderful entries already. The theme is The End of the World. If you're a writer, then show us what you got. The deadline is Halloween so there is plenty of time! The judges are @SevenSeize4President, @The-Great-One, and @Dranj.
Tom has also highlighted a lot of cool stuff in this news post. Check it out, rate, and review all of it. All of the things!
Bubsy Reanimated Bob-Collab
@New999 has started a collaboration project to reanimate the Bubsy animated series pilot from the 90s. Originally started by Bubsy fans, it has now been made an open project for others to join in. The deadline for this is November 24. It is also strict because it will be launching on Twitch on the 25th and be ready for Newgrounds on the 26th.
The Official NG Fanzine Thread
@HavryloThePigeon is working on a fanzine for Newgrounds and is looking for feedback on the project. Where The Tank Tribune focuses more on news, this will be a magazine featuring articles and fun things from not only Newgrounds, but animators elsewhere as well. Give your thoughts in the official thread!
Last Week's Daily Features from the Portal as posted through P-Bot's Postings are listed here. @Irezoomie picked up a Daily Feature for their debut movie Part of Your World. Madness entries picked up awards for this week, with the Daily Feature for Madness Day going to @LittleLuckyLink for Dusk of the Madness: OVERTIME. Resident Evil REANIMATED picked up a Daily Feature. @GoodOldTom picked up a Daily Feature for his debut movie The Shallow Knight. @ChutneyGlaze grabbed a Daily Feature with an entry in the Among Us Animation Jam.
These are the people who make Newgrounds possible. Thank you!

RECIPES FROM THE NEWGROUNDS COMMUNITY
Welcome back to the Newgrounds Kitchen. If you haven't made breakfast yet, I've got one for you, courtesy of yours truly. It the recipe for my homemade pancakes! I hope you enjoy them!
The-Great-One's Griddle Cakes
I have tinkered with this recipe for years and finally got it to a point that I am proud of. They can be a nice hearty breakfast to start the day if you're into carb loading. Even as a nice dessert if you mix in about 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips and serve with ice cream.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1 cup sifted buckwheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 cups whole fat buttermilk
- 1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- lard (or Crisco)
STEP 1: In a large bowl place your bread flour, sifted buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
STEP 2: In a smaller bowl place your buttermilk, molasses, vanilla extract, and egg yolks. Whisk to combine.
STEP 3: Combine the dry and wet ingredients together adding the melted butter. Stir together until the flour is gone. Do not over mix! If there are lumps in the batter that's fine.
STEP 4: Beat your egg whites until you have stiff peaks. Fold them gently into your batter until you can't see the white anymore. Make sure you don't over mix the lumps out.
STEP 5: Let your batter rest for 10 minutes. While the batter is resting, set your pan over medium heat on the stove or between 350-375 degrees if you're using an electric griddle of electric frying pan.
STEP 6: Grease your pan using lard about a tablespoon (pan size will vary). Be sure to grease a small ladle as well.
STEP 7: Apply a small round of batter onto the pan and spread it out with the back of the ladle. Let it sit until bubbles start to form and the outside begins to brown. Flip and continue cooking on the other side until the edges begin to brown.
STEP 8: Take this first griddle cake and throw it away.
STEP 9: Repeat STEP 7 skipping STEP 8 until you either have enough griddle cakes or run out of batter, whichever comes first.
STEP 10: Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, bacon, or all of the above if you're into that sort of thing (I won't judge you).
FOOTNOTE: If you like fruit or bacon in your pancakes. Once you spread your batter out in STEP 7 add your pancake innards here before you flip.
