1st CBversary!
1st CBversary!
I cannot believe that this day has actually come. I have been planning this post in my mind since almost my first day here, waiting to celebrate an entire year here and thank all of you. By any account, 2020 has been a completely crazy year, and I am so glad that I have had the CB with me to help weather through. Suffice it to say that this year would have been very different and a lot less happy, if I did not have this place to come to. I have never seen or been a part of any other online community so creative, beautiful, and closely knit as this one. I can honestly call each one of you my friend, and this is truly something to be treasured. I wish there was room for me to say something special to each one of you, but, as it is, I’ll only share a few things.
Starseeker: You probably don’t know me well, and you might not even ever see this, but I just wanted to say how much I admire you. Your art, writing, and positive spirit are truly incredible, and you are high among my list of role models.
Brookeira: You, too, will never see this, but I have to say thank you for the invention of AEs. Abcde, arrogant and annoying though she is, is a huge part of my life, and I love her very much. Without you, I might never have known her, and I am indebted.
Hummingbird: You were the first person to comment on my silly introduction post last year, and your welcome to the CB was warm and wonderful. Thank you for ushering me into this beautiful world. I’m so sorry about everything that has happened here, and I will welcome you with open arms whenever and if-ever you choose to return for real.
Luna-Starr: Okay, first, the obvious. Your writing is incredible. Magicae Palace and its sequel-whose-name-I-don’t-know are utterly brilliant, and the style, references, and utter hilarity make them into masterpieces. Your sense of humor and beautiful poetry are utterly precious, and I’m so glad to know you.
Bakerloo: Thank you for having the idea for an Alter Ego advice column, and thank you even more for asking Abcde and I to be a part of it. The thread has sunk down in the pages, but I will attempt to top it once more. (SHAMELESS ADVERTISING HERE: BRING YOUR PROBLEMS TO ABCDE NOW!) Your jokes, puns, and etc can always make me smile. Plus, you (indirectly) introduced me to Politically Correct Bedtime Stories and Enola Holmes, and that in itself is truly great.
Luminescence: What can I even say? Your kindness, sweetness, helpfulness, and other nesses are beautiful and inspirational. Your pep-talks, especially on the confession thread, are wise and wonderful and have helped me more times than I can count. Lumi, you are a wonderful person, and I am so proud to know you and call you a friend.
NerdFace: Thank you for always being there, being my friend and talking to me whenever I need/want/feel like sending people random cheese emojis. You have supported me through my journey as a writer, and creating Camp Juniper with you is a high point of ever. YOU ARE AWESOME!
All authors, visual artists, and other creaters: It is so brave to share your creations with the world, and everything you make is wonderful. I am lazy and don’t comment on as many threads as I read, but I do see what you do. Thank you for making the world better.
Admins: Without you, none of this would be possible. You spend your days reading all of our comments and making the CB into a safe and wonderful place. Thank you so much, and I am sorry that this post is so long.
I love you all!
<3 Morning
P.S. Liddy says caoyh. Ciao!

You are such an amazing and creative person and CBer, and you have been a such a great inspiration to me for the short time I've been on here. MWW was such a great idea, and I love it.

AHHH I'M LATEEE
Morning!!! Hi!! Sorry I'm late, I didn't see this till just now because I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping up with everything since school started. But you're the one that helped me with that! When I reappeared on the CB after being consumed by school for a couple weeks, I was very confused at everything going on. You were the first person I thought to ask for help from on NaNo, because of how helpful, accepting and just in general kind you are! You are so awesome and I'm proud to call you my friend!
Here's some yummy cake! I'm not sure if anyone else does this, it might just be my community, but... *smashes your face into the cake* Happy CBversary!

This is late because I dropped of the face of the earth... again... but thank you!
@Jade — *wipes cake off face and then eats it because why not?!* Thank you! It means a lot that I was the first person you would ask, and even more now that I keep doing the same thing myself. <3 Also, the cake is delicious.
@Dolphin — Thank you for the streamers, cake, balloons, and... um... fish pie? THANK YOU and also HAPPY CBVERSARY TO YOU TOO! I'm so glad I know you.
@Feli — XD Thank you so much, Feli. Okay, that iceplesauce is the best thing ever and mmm. MWW, despite my failure at participation, is so fun, and I'm so glad that you let Mary and I help you make it a reality.
