New Years Surprise! Memories~
Posted: Sun Dec 25, 2011 12:58 am
Teehee, Foxx is a mischievous gal and we all know it. She's been plotting with me for the last week, and came up with the idea to do something special. I know none of you are expecting new art for a while but, well, there will be . There is a foal to be given out, in fact! To the winner of this very contest, a breeding will be given. If you don't have a mated pair of Serians, you can probably borrow either from Foxx or myself a pair of your choice.
So what IS the contest? Well, it's something for Foxx in a way. Most of us have been with Sionayra for many, many years now! So I want you to tell me about your best memories- anything at all that comes to mind! It can be as detailed or concise as you'd like and can be anything from your first Serian, to your favorite festival, to something funny someone once said on the boards, or all of the above! This foal will be born on January first and represents a new year of Serians, so thus the theme of the contest is to reflect on the years behind us before moving forward!
The winner will be chosen by random, but those who put in the most obvious feeling and effort will be given a special boost in their chances .
I'm not a competitor, however I would like to add my own entry as a thank-you to Foxx and to all of the people I've gotten to know over the years...
My favorite memories of Sionayra are easily called to mind. First and foremost- obtaining my first ever Serian, Frostbite. After that, winning my first Serian in a contest- Vapor. Getting Frostbite's redraw was the most exciting thing, I'd loved her ever since I first saw her. Sadly, I was particularly torn between her and Zephyr, but little did I know, only short years later, I would get a second chance at Zeph too! My happiest memory after this was when Foxx opened these very roleplay boards, and asked me to be her moderator!! My favorite roleplay was when Vapor became mated to Bridle <3, and in a close second was the epic saga of roleplaying for LunarPrism. I loved learning about her past, Prophet and his parted mate, and the way Foxx brought us all into their story. I was misty eyed after more than one reply . There were many absences I had to take throughout the years and hard times I endured, but whenever I checked my away notices, I came back to heaps of love and understanding. No one ever expected too much from me, put pressure on me, made me feel like I wasn't doing enough. Ever over my prolonged inactivity the last year, no one met me with hostility or accusations, I've never met such an amazing group of understanding people. It was astonishing to see how fast everyone came back, even if just to pop in and say hi. It really made me realize that Serians and Sionayra have touched us and united us all in a very big way. In essence, Sionayra is unforgettable, and I'm so thrilled to be a part of it. I grew up with this place, and so many of you. <3 Thank you for 8 years, and here's hoping for many more!
ETA: Closing date will be the 27th or 28th, depending on how much time Foxx needs to make the foal for the 1st of January.
