How much I love, respect, and appreciate ALL OF YOU. I could never express it well enough.

In all the years that I have been an RPer and Writer, and in all the communities I have been part of in the several years that I've been online... TEF has been the most welcoming, open minded, comfortable place I've ever been to. It's a better place than home.

It's suprising but lately I've been thinking about the communities and sites that I used to frequently visit, and even assistant manage/manage. I spent five years running a Sonic the Hedgehog based RP site which had a community that never really passed 31 or so people, and said site was hacked about once or twice a year, usually by one of three people from a rival site that most people decended from including myself. In the first few years it was a paradise, the community and site I managed, but eventually the less approachable people from places I left joined and in time made the place a living hell that I now question my own reasoning for in keeping alive. In the last two years and after multiple remodelings, I had become a very untrusting person; very cynical and easilly provolked. I had a long run of depressions that would occasionally break and switch into a frenzy of updates and such that once completed, looked great. Then in those last two years, claims started up that the place was 'dieing'. Even though it was still remotely active. These claims eventually fell threw, wearing everyone down until most stopped comming. But at the same time that these claims began, I personally came under a lot of fire as the manager. A group of about 7 or 8 people (a substantial number in a small community which had dwindled to maybe 12 or 13), had begun to take every chance they could to pick at my work and heavilly critique it, and me personally. In the final year of my own activity there, before I joined TEF, I was almost constantly under verbal/typed attack, rather than critique.

Nothing special here. Just a few screenshots taken after I recreated the majority of my deer in Sims 2. (Still need to recreate Toukan, and create Bastilion.)



The Dragonfly Deer, sans Toukan and Blue (he was created separately to have his own last name and shall be moved in with them later), and with one extra person. That would Aerust, Radeon's sister, and Richter and Kinsha's mother. I created her so Scape and Magnet, and Richter and Kinsha would be cousins. She'll be dying soon though. =B ...what? She's supposed to be dead anyway. I'm trying to be accurate. |D

And here be Blue.

I made his last name Creekside. |D I is ironic/braindead on last names much.
And he's really short, too. 8D *pets "StretchSkeleton" cheat* My human-deer are their correct heights. X]

Some tea, anyone?

It's time for an epic teaparty RP adventure at Emiva's house.
She hasn't hosted one in a while, and the door is open to anyone.
Everyone is coridally invited! Just ring the doorbell! 8D

I don't have access to tef because the computer that has it, and can handle it, is being updated, switched around, etc. So I had time to look through the other computer that used to have tef and its screenshots. I just love them all, and I saw a lot of familiar faces with faces they usually don't hang out with. These are... not in order unfortunately; stupid photobucket... but I edited them up and..
