It seems like there has been a big upswing in the amount of stuff getting posted here on The Endless Forest Community site that has nothing to do with TEF or Tale of Tales. I've absolutely nothing against members coming together to support one another in times of need; people being able to vent here is something I've come to appreciate and respect. There aren't many places online where people can feel comfortable enough to share what's bothering them and I love that about TEF.

However, there are hundreds, thousands of other sites where you can share your art, stories, poems, and conversations with other people. This site is for The Endless Forest, I know I for one come here to see things related to TEF. I'm not going to become some sort of content-police, going around commenting on everything that isn't directly TEF related because that's not my place. One blog where you collect non-TEF art or stories is fine in my book! A lot of people take this curtsey and I thank those that do, it makes finding what I come here to see much easier.

This isn't me telling you what you can and can't do. I know some people will assume that but I can't control what any of you do, just like you can't control what I do. It's a give and a take here on TEFc, but I'd figure that I would throw this out here and see what others thought about it. Let me know! I'm not going to be mean to you I promise, even if you don't agree with me I would love to hear why!

ps. Please don't call each other mean things ect, in the comments here. I don't want this to get out of hand or anything, if it does I might be forced to eyeroll and headshake. We don't want that.

edit: Please don't use this blog to post unrelated content that really isn't what I made it for. The title is there because that's what I've discussed.

Hopefully you've all heard about TEFs recent financial issues, so to help do my part I'm opening some art commissions to benefit The Endless Forest Server Fund.

"Please don't all start making new accounts! Or we will run out of pictograms again. A thousand accounts were made since this announcement. Many of them by the same person. Please don't do this. Leave some pictograms for new players in the months -hopefully years- to come!

If you snatch them all up now, there will be nothing left and we will be forced to figure out new rules for registering. Please treat the freedom in The Endless Forest with respect."

From now on all my characters see your characters as they appear in game.
This includes size, general appearance like colors and antler shape, and most importantly, species.
I judge gender based both on appearance and behavior.

I do not check the Community Site map while playing and will not hunt down bios while playing.
If your deer looks vastly different than they appear in game, I'm sorry but I will only respond to what I see in-game.

I'm bored and in the mood for some creative writing. I write so much for my own character that I figured I should try something else. If you've got a character you wouldn't mind seeing some short writing for drop a link to a biography. The more informative the biography, the more detailed my writing can be, so keep that in mind.

This will only be open the next hour or two before I go to bed, so if you're interested comment asap!

As an artist, chances are you’ve had the desire to draw something at some point but not known how. It’s at times like this that referencing can be a very powerful tool, vastly improving our abilities and content. However referencing incorrectly can also be a very quick way to get you into trouble.

Go!

(Feel free to post more than once, since I'm picking from any of these that strike my fancy.)

I've run into a bit of a mental block when it comes to my characters (mainly Teradeer and Queze) and could use some other minds to help me. If you guys have ever wondered something, anything, about either of these two, now would be the time to ask.

What I'm hoping for is for someone to ask a question I haven't asked myself, that way I'll have to actually think about something I don't already know. I hope that made some sort of sense! lol

Foreword: This blog will discuss evil as it pertains to characters and actions within the world of The Endless Forest general Role Play and can be useful for both within the game and in text form on The Community Site. I will give some theories about playing evil characters, as well as what you can expect should you choose to play an evil character here.

Is there a certain spot in The Forest you find particularly special?

One rule: Do Not Post A Screenshot! I don't want to see the place until I get there via my deer!
