Hello! I am gathering information on The Endless Forest fan community to expand its Fanlore page. Seems there is plenty about it's history, but not a whole lot of community meta. So please, if you have some time consider answering a few questions for me! Especially if you have been a long-time TWF player. You may skip and answer questions at your leisure. Your responses may be used on the Fanlore page, either as direct quotes, snipped quotes (edited for brevity), or indirectly as footnotes. You are of course welcome to skip this all together and edit information onto the page yourself as well.

1. How long have you been playing on The Endless Forest?
2. What do you call your community? (For example, "Furry Fandom" for furries, "Creatures Community" for fans of the game Creatures, "Potterheads" for Harry Potter fans, etc)
3. Is there any unique terminology your community uses? (Example: "Hexies" is what the Petz fandom call game mods- this is unique to them)
4. How has the community changed from the early days to now?
5. What other places do you congregate to enjoy TEF's community/fandom? Other forums, websites, chatrooms?
6. Describe how roleplay functions in your community, and what it is about. Imagine you're explaining this to a newbie or outsider.
7. Have there ever been any major controversies in the community?
8. Would you say you are a "deer person?" If so, how do you see this as differing from other species-based communities? (Example: such as communities focused around lion characters, or around horse characters, etc)
9. Do you know anyone who has played TEF who has gone on to do something else note worthy? (Example: Ehtere making the Fawnlings ARPG in 2012)
10. Anything else interesting you'd like to say about the community or game?
, so I decided to give it a go myself, just to add a little character to my disappointing first day:
