The Awakened Salad

YOU GUYS. IT’S BEEN A YEAR. A WHOLE YEAR.

Every so often this past month my brain has been gently reminding me “it’s your Shardiversary soon!”, but now that I’m actually here I can’t believe it. I still feel like it was yesterday when I timidly posted an intro thread and found myself gravitating over to the Forum Games and Community side of the Shard, where I’ve stayed for most of my time here. Since then I’ve *wins*ed, rambled (often incoherently), joined RPs (which either died or I had to leave, whoops) and honestly stumbled across such a wonderful community to be a part of.

To the forum games crew, you guys never fail to make me smile! I love going on adventures with you, granting boons and banes, and all of the general randomness that happens along the way.

To anyone I’ve ever RPed with, you’re awesome and thank you for being patient with someone who had/still has no idea what they’re doing . This site is full of amazing storytellers and I’m so glad that I’m able to write with you all.

And finally, thank you. Yes, you reading this. For making this community such a great one to be in. Whenever I’m in need of a laugh, a fun conversation, or a virtual hug, I know where to come.
