The Monthly Terra: March & April 2014
Welcome to our first instalment of The Monthly Terra! In this segment we'll be looking back on the month of activity of the Twitter account and pulling up anything of significance you may have missed during the month. There's heaps of tweets like fanart RTs that would take me forever to post here, so I encourage you to follow the Twitter yourself if you're worried about missing anything! This entry came a bit later than planned, but I hope you'll bear with us! I have no guarantee that this will remain a monthly thing either; it could end up being less or more frequent, we'll wait and see. So, with introductions sorted, let's dive in!
Mar 16: Kazamatsuri.org Officially Opens!
We'd been running a closed beta of the forums for a month before, but that date marks the point our social media presence began, and we opened the community to public access!
5 New Angel Beats CGs revealed!
Details on the PSP Version of Rewrite
Mar 17: Key Radio moved to permanent home

Apr 5: Komari Kamikita's birthday. We didn't do anything to formally celebrate this, but it made a huge stir on Twitter and inspired me to start making a big deal of Key Birthdays. There were heaps of retweets of fanart people were posting for her birthday. Here's some samples.
