My newest project spawned from a simple idea. I plan on keeping her. This will be in the Biography section, but will contain an awful lot of writing. Please be patient because this will take a long time.

She will be in-forest on the First day of March, year Two Thousand Thirteen.

A sight worth resting to.

The morning sun glinted off of dewdrops. Winter's snow was gone and the world shimmered with long-awaited warmth. Sunlight battled fiercely to drive away the cold; to evaporate the last droplets that had once been ice and snow. Still, the great shining ball hid partially behind the horizon upon the stag's waking.

The tingling in each muscle as Awel stretched felt like any other morning, though he had slept particularly well this past night. Maybe it was by the work of the Gods that it happened so. They did like to change the seasons when the nights were deep and long. More likely it was, though, that the stag had fallen into a slumber after finding himself tired by the festivities of New Year. Hnh. The beast rocked to his feet.

Snort.

Confusion. What had happened? Both thrill and dread had befallen the stag, and he was very confused all the same. Head bent, the beast looked at his hooves. Was this a trick of the light? Moss tried to sneeze. Again, an attempt to look himself over. Another attempt at sneezing followed that, and it made him light-headed. Nope, this spell wasn't coming off.

Feeling a bit weird, the stag wandered down to the pond to get a better look at himself. Huff. Each strand of his fur shone with the very same gold of the rays of sunlight. Momentarily Awel turned to chase his own tail. Grunt. His bum was just like a dandelion! The beast chuckled and shook himself off. Oh well, different is good when the New Year comes.


Happy New Year, . And may this one be brighter!

On Avatars and other art

A checklist as to if you are allowed to use a piece of art on this site:

• Was it created for me specifically?
• Was it created BY me?
• Was it marked as free to use by the original artist?
• Was I given permission to use this art?
• Is this pre-existing TEF art?

Please, ask yourself these questions before you use a piece of art on this site.

Just because you find an image on the internet, does not mean you are free to use it. It can still be someone's intellectual property or copyrighted property. On TEFc, we look out for this, as artists work hard to create these beautiful pieces and generally would not like their work used without permission. When in doubt, ask. Please.


Remember, Copyright laws and Intellectual Property laws are not just enacted in the USA, they're worldwide.
Please, be respectful and don't use anything that you weren't given the right to.
