Didn't get me any, so what's that tell you? But, sincerely it was coming from the heart. Despite my wolfish avatar (ahem Mith) I do have a heart.

And also, Mith, Mr. Wile E. Coyote soots my personality well don't you think? I mean he does like to blow things up.

That won't save you from being suspected based on your avatar if you ever play the new(ish) werewolf game.

I never accused you of heartlessness - merely possibly of being affected by hirsutism and toothiness according to the lunar cycle

And is the soot from the explosions, Rocketman?

I must say that my favorite person on this Forum has been Bethberry. She's been ploughing through all variety of compliments and insults for all of the four and one-half years I've been coming (on and off) to this forum. I don't know how many of you also visit the Chatroom, but she's also had to endure some pretty hurtful people on there, as well. She seems to take it all so gracefully, though - never doling out unfair punishment simply because of something said to her. Now that I've been visiting other Forums as well as this one, I've tried to take the chat and board etiquette that she so gracefully exhibits and translate it for myself.

I guess I kind of consider her to be a mother-like figure as well. Certainly, as a moderator and operator, she demands a certain amount of respect, but she also displays caring for her "wards," which is often a very fitting term for what a lot of us are. I'll admit that when I first came here, I was a little obnoxious fangirl. I like to think that I am not these days, but I'm not holding my breath.

Bethberry is also the one that pushed me with my Roleplaying. Seemingly coming hand-in-hand with every fangirl is a little annoying Mary-Sue fall-back character for her to RP with. I won't linger too long on this, but I think some people remember good old Menelduliniel - the character I've been trying so hard to forget and live down in my own mind. Bethberry pushed me to expand - to take on new characters. I regret that I didn't have time to run my own RPG when she pushed me to do so - I think with her help, it would have run beautifully. She saw that I did have some talent somewhere in there as a writer - I have always written short stories and the like - and rather than discouraging me for my novice RP'ing skills, she helped me develop them - I learned how to interact with other people on a game, that I wasn't the only one there...however, at the same time, I also learned how to use more force on the games. For a while, I was absolutely terrified of mentioning other people's characters in my posts, for fear that I may do something slightly out of character and wreck the game for them.

To be honest, the person I always hope to see on when I return here - or when I go to the chat - is Bethberry. She also has always remembered me and welcomed me back. Also, she's the one that, when I do visit again, encourages me to become more of a regular again. I will probably give in very, very soon (hopefully right now is my official return)...and I really want to RP again, if that's okay with her.

I love reading the Crazy Captions posts of especially Eomer, Meela, Lalwende, & Mithalwen. Funny & original, as I've said different times & in different places on these forums. And I suppose I should mention the phantom, though I suppose he probably already assumes he's everyone's favorite (everyone includes me).

My favorite is anyone who trusts me enough to send me their picture for the photo page... hehe. So, I guess the rest of you better get crackin' if you're not on that list... not that it needs to be a goal in life to be one of my favorites.

Eek. *TGWBS is put on the spot*

Let's see. Fea, or Enca, or Eomer. Whichever happens to be reading this, actually. I can't really choose between them, because almost every post of theirs makes me collapse in hysterics.

Hmmm. I know Eomer and Fea have fanclubs... where's Enca's?

Ahem. The rest of you are great too. I merely have a tendency to get attached to people who make me laugh.

You know, my ears have been ringing for some time now and I was beginning to think I had developed tinnittus. But it must have been this post of Vanima's.

Game on, Vanima, game on.

It's more the kilt that's got the club than it is you, Eomer.

I'd say more the Scottish accent actually.
In any case, the fanclub is non-official, and, as such, non-commerical; that is to say, no donations. (Really it's just a bunch of BDers with nothing better to do ).
