The Clan’s foray into pseudonymous social media domination continues, with our new Tumblr! Follow us at jointheclan.tumblr.com to get the latest news from The Clan and Michelle Paver. (You’ll still get all the news first if you actually join The Clan. Why wait? It’s free, safe, and there are no ads.)

Apologies for being a day late — I was enjoying the festive break far too much! Three (yes, three) of our four Clans have now breached the 1,000 Nanuaks threshold, just in time for the Great Reset of 2012. I will be virtually zeroing the Leaderboard tallies in order to give newer Clanners the chance…

There are Michelle Paver fans, and there are Michelle Paver fans. We think we’ve got a great community in The Clan, and we recently refreshed The E-Team, an elite group of super-dedicated Clanners who take their passion for Michelle Paver’s work outside The Clan to recruit new members. And we’re now looking for more. E-Teamer…

One advantage of Michelle not being on the Internet is we can openly talk about gifts we’re getting ready for her! This year, The Clan is putting together a yearbook to mark the end of 2011. Michelle’s new series, Gods and Warriors, will be published next autumn and we can’t wait for it. The book’s…

A slightly later Leaderboard than usual — but only by a few hours. The Far North has overtaken the Deep Forest in the Leaderboard, with both breaching the 1000 Nanuaks milestone! This next month could determine who wins the grand prize. The Clanner who earns the most Nanuaks will be declared the winner at the…

Guardian MidnightSWolf has kicked off a special collaborative writing project on The Clan — the Advent Calendar Story. Every day this month, MidnightSWolf will be awarding Nanuaks to a Clanner who’s written the best next lines, and the story will grow into something silly and fun, and maybe even amazing! The first line of the…

Well, the spreadsheet has been, er, spread and the latest Clashing Clans Leaderboard has been tallied. The Deep Forest continues to lead, with the Far North, Sea, and Open Forest working hard to catch up. Our top Clanners see a new entry, with AshhsA entering the chart at number five! Special mention also goes out…

The following is a very important message from GlowingWolfEyes: Did you ever think The Clan couldn’t get any more fun? That it is simply the best site on the entire Internet, and that nothing could ever improve it? Well. Believe it or not… You were wrong. Because for one whole week, from Monday 24th October…

Apologies for forgetting to post last month’s Leaderboard on the home page — I can be a bit scatterbrained at times! The Deep Forest Clan group is still on top with 778.55 Nanuaks, and our top-scoring Clanner this month is gryffindorhg (129.99 Nanuaks). We’d like to highlight the Clanners who asked Michelle a question (or…

The Clan is home to a very special Wiki — the encyclopaedia to the world of Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. Many Clanners have volunteered their time and effort to creating new content for the Wiki, and for that we are forever grateful. A great wiki has well-researched and -written text, as well as images. We…

Have you got any questions for Michelle? Now’s a good time to ask — it’s time for the next ClanCast! All you need to do is send a PM to Andrea with your question, and Michelle will do her best to answer them all. The recording is scheduled to be made in early September, so…

CJ Watso has proposed that there should be a post and/or days registered minimum before a new Clanner can join The E-Team. Do you agree? There is a poll where you can vote on the issue. The poll closes 14th September.

With the winner of the Clanimation scriptwriting contest announced, it’s time to get animating! Please check which team you’re on – the discussion threads for Team A and Team B are both in the Clanner’s Art board. Clanners in Team A, make sure you send a private message to @wolfbrother if you want to draw…

Armed with only a spreadsheet, we have calculated and updated the Clashing Clans Leaderboard for July 2011. Our current leader is the Deep Forest group of clans, and our top Clanner this month is NixNight, with an impressive 127 Nanuaks! Special mention must also go to gryffindorhg, a dedicated Clanner who has almost singlehandedly moved…

There’s only one more day to get your questions in to Elv Moody, Michelle’s editor for the upcoming series Gods and Warriors. She’ll be answering your questions all day on Friday (UK time), so those with burning questions about the new series, and really want to be the first to know, now’s your chance to…

Hello, and a warm welcome to The Clan! The re-design has been a real journey for everyone, and we’re extremely pleased to be able to tell you about all the wonderful things this latest version of The Clan has to offer. Firstly, do remember to read Michelle’s latest note to Clanners the world over. She’s…

Hello Clanners — I’m delighted to welcome you to the new-look Clan! As you know, I don’t have internet access — but I’ve been watching the new site take shape over the past few weeks as and when my travels have brought me into contact with computers. I do hope that you like it as…

Update: You can now post new threads — however, we’ve had to switch off the wiki while we continue to work on these bugs. Thank you so much for your patience thus far! The new Clan forums are still in beta; at the moment, there is an issue with creating new threads – we’re working…

Work is still going on behind the scenes and it’s fairly non-stop, but we’d like to take the time to welcome Clanners to the new-look website for The Clan. Here is a list of major changes: The URL is now jointheclan.com! The homepage is different. We have launched two new features, a book recommendations section…

There’s been lots of talk about, and we can confirm that there will be a new-look version of The Clan ready to launch very soon. In the next couple of weeks, we’ll be rolling out a brand new look and feel for The Clan. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes, and we’re really looking…
