I hope you’re all doing well.
Before we get started I’d like to start off by saying tl;dr but in all honesty I hope you’ll read this through till the end (don’t worry you won’t be quizzed if you don’t).
I’ve been a part of Moonshop since 2013 and while I’m not a veteran, like most of you are, I have seen my fare share of things. Although this place is far from perfect I have had the pleasure of getting to know many amazing people.
While the years have not been met without tears or frustrations, they have been filled with joy and laughter among friends and those who have come to be viewed as family.
I am not perfect, far from it actually, and if I had to write a profile on myself the flaws would be many. But I can say, if there’s one thing I am… it’s greatful.
I am grateful for:
The GM’s both past and present who have spent countless hours each day, week, month to bring this shop new and updated content. For doing their best to to work with the players on plot ideas. And for bringing us so many great events.
The mod staff who somehow manage to power through and read so many profiles to help create well rounded characters. Who make sure that lists (master list, crown token, character list) are updated frequently as well as maintaining the front page and providing all of us with such beautiful certs.
The artists, who since October 2015 has produced well over 75 pieces of premade or semi premade art for the Halloween, Thanksgiving, December/ New Years, Nega Meta events all the while still keeping up with constant flow of claims and growths.
The players who work together and encourage group ORP by opening personal RP plots where anyone can join. Who seek out role-plays from new faces to get them more involved.
On an even more personal level I can’t even begin to express how thankful I am for every person who has given me a chance and have written with me. There are several of you who have shown me patience and understanding, who have encouraged me to keep going when all I’ve wanted to do was put down the drawing tablet and be done. But more than that I’m most thankful for those who have taken the time to listen.While I’m fully aware that Haters exist for people to vent out frustrations, there is good in this shop. I have seen staff nominate people for Quest Fairies, players gift each other with art and even a few occasions avatar items have been gifted to others with no strings attached.
At this point, if you’ve managed to make it this far, you’re probably wondering what the point of all of this is. I have been one of Avionetca’s top tier patreons for several months. What this means is I have automatic commission spots. Many of you are familiar with her art, but if not here is her link: http://avionetca.deviantart.com/
Each month I’ve used one spot to get someone a gift or even opened up a RGN raffle over AIM. But this month I want to do something different. Allow me to be the tool you use to show someone how much you appreciate them by paying forward.
I have created a google form : here
I would like for you to fill out. I want to know who you are grateful for and why. Tell me what they have done whether it is for you, the shop, or someone else.
This is not a popularity contest, the person with the most nominations will not necessarily be the one that gets the art. However I do wish to share with the person what people have said; i will not include usernames. There is no limit as to how many people you can nominate; you should be able to submit the form multiple times.
I will not be picking anyone until 6.07.16 or before there is 20 nominations.
If you have a more general reason to be thankful feel free to post in this thread.
Thank you for three full years of experiences and those still yet to come!
