Hi r/Plushies community
r/Plushies will finally have some fun events for you to follow. While we got most of the subreddit updated as of last weekend, some of our fellow members had a few lovely ideas! So here are the biggest changes: the Plushy Market and Monthly Events!
Monthly Events
Guess what we are having now? It’s probably obvious given the giant header right above this paragraph, but we’re having monthly events, as per your suggestions!
???? CONTESTS ????
These events will be held starting on the first week of every month, where we will be sharing our favorite ___ stuffed animal. Tag your post with [Contest] to enter. Every month, the top [Contest] post about a Teddy Bear, Possum, Fish, Bird, etc, will win a free stuffed animal, and a neat flair to flex that plushy power!
The first contest will be launching next week. And its Holiday themed! So get those reindeer and bags of presents together, so that we can see your most festive friends. Feel free to play to our heartstrings with some jolly stories, or post a christmas-themed collection you’ve been collecting for the last decade. To win your very own borb, just get as many upvotes as you can!
FEEDBACK FRIDAY
This one is pretty exciting. There are a LOT of creators on our subreddit, and we would love to learn more about some of you. Every Friday (if someone reached out to me this week) I will be pinning a feedback thread for you to comment on, with a link to their store. It will be a nice way for our community to have an effect on the actual stuffed animal world.
…And if nobody reaches out to r/Plushies with their own brand, I’ll be posting a pinned post about a larger brand. This will allow for all of us plushy friends to make comments about the pros and cons of the brand, to help anyone new to collecting.
Plushy Market ????
Meanwhile, it looks like we had a few Buying/selling posts that went unnoticed in the past months. Buried under the countless other friends that we like to post here.
In order to fix that up a bit, I added a tab for Desktop, on the top of our subreddit. One for Selling Stuffed Animals if you have too many, and another for Seeking Plushies if you’re looking for a specific type of friend that you can’t find anywhere else. Please tag your post [BUY/SELL: In Search of] or [BUY/SELL: For Sale] to share your wares with r/Plushies.

Misc. Updates
For the keen observer, you might have noticed that we have an Automod up and running! It’s trying its best to sort our posts into various brand named categories.
And something not mentioned in last week’s update: PICTURES! and GIFs! Post them in whichever thread you’d like. Share your friends without the need for Imgur. Your possibilities are endless!
Thank you, as always, for reading our update!~
