Happy new year everyone! Jesus, 2016 has been...really.... REALLY bad. From over 140 celebrity deaths including David Bowie, Prince, Gene Wilder, George Michael, and Carrie Fisher to terrorist attacks all over the place to Brexit to the insane presidential election and that's just the tip of the iceberg! But in these moments of reflection, it's important to remember the good times along with the bad.
This year I graduated high school.
This year I started going to the number one private university in my state, Furman University.
This year I learned how to crosstich. And I look forward to getting better with it.
And last, but certainly not least, I created something that is bigger than me: this forum. I never thought that a roleplaying group I made on the fly in my fourth block class last March would get more than maybe 50 followers.
We now have over 7,000 followers.
I have made so many wonderful friends on this forum, and I've seen the relationships on here blossom from just strangers who are looking for fun, to friends coming together to create interesting and amazing adventures. Friends from all over the world who want to learn about people different from them. Friends who try to be there for each other, despite not even seeing each other's faces or hearing their voices.
So here's to all of us, and the many adventures that 2017 will bring to us!
With love, 
Mz. Hyde

Kind of a sad way to look at the new year, isn't it? *Reheats mocha and dips a second cookie.*

Hi hi hi!
Don't you worry, haven't forgotten about you!
"The End of an Era" is in its final stretch! isn't that exciting?
With all the fighting and planning, we're finally here.
The conclusion.
With our squad in full swing, I did the courtesy of extending the pause to allow them to accomplish their goals with ample time to spare, but that doesn't mean everyone else will be sitting on the sidelines. In a day or two, I will release an extension for our singers to achieve their OWN goals!

Ah, I get you. Good plan. I've been enjoying just watching "The End of an Era"! Happy to wait for the singing thread, probably a good thing in fact as I'm in need of a break from the computer, just wondered what was happening.
