Poly has been my one and only game since 2006, never even wandered out and back with months in between or anything. I started off dreadfully with Nathaniel, then Captain Holly Short and Ginny Weasley. Honourable mentions: Zoe Washburne and Kivrin Engle for all of two seconds. This is home in a lot of ways, where I honed my writing and made some incredible friends and had so much fun that I can't even begin to count all the memorable moments between beginning and end.

I'm not even sure I can properly articulate how happy and grateful I am to have been here for as long as I have, met and written with all the talented players... And, yeah, how sad I am that we're coming to an end. But this game and you guys got me through some rough times (hello high school, hello college, hello adult world!) and this has been the one constant when everything else in my life was flipping around. The days before the police force, when the forest was still so unexplored, the beach a destination to fight towards, the first round of deities, the stewards, the slugs, the harpies, the barrier coming down, the serial killers and the Underground monsters and the clock and the chaos and the settling down, the home it became, the revolutions and the wars and the friendships forged despite it all. Mistletoe and Thanksgivings and birthdays and brothers, friends that became like brothers, families not joined by blood but everything else. It's been a story. It's been a life.

SO LET ME SPREAD SOME LOVE ON ALL YOU LOVELY PEOPLE. It's been so wonderful. You've all been so great. I love you guys, let's do this send-off right: with feels, and lemon cake. ♥

I am so glad I got the chance to meet you and to play with you. I wasn't expecting the CR between Ginny and Jimmy to be quite so amazing quite so quickly, but man, the second they met, it was awesome how well they hit it off. That's CR that I'm always going to value and look back on with fondness, because it wasn't necessarily the kind of thing that I would have been able to predict, and that's often my favorite kind. And the emotional connection they formed with each other was really a lot of fun to write (if occasionally heartwrenching!)

And then as I got a chance to know you, too, you also amazed me! Like you say, you've gone through some rough times while you've been here, but I must say that as we talked more and more, I've really come to admire your strength, your courage, and your talent. You're a great writer, but that isn't even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how awesome you are.

So here's a <3 for you, and the hopes that someday we'll meet in person, too!
