Friends! Lurkers! People who decided to just randomly view this thread! Lend me your ears!
For today is a momentous day! Well, actually the anniversary of a momentous day!
One year ago exactly today, I joined these forums! And since then I have had such a wonderful and fun time here! I have met great people, and if it weren't for them, I would not have nearly as much fun as I did. In fact, I probably wouldn't have even stayed.
So, I'd like to dedicate this thread not to my own "accomplishment" but to the people who helped me make it this far. They are the true stars, the true gems, the true treasure of KHI. I wanted to thank each of them individually.
That's when I realized there were over 50 people on my friends list. I don't even know how that happened.
Regardless, I sat down and typed up personalized letters of thanks to each of them and then some. My writing skills deteriorated after a certain point and the forum will probably cause a bunch of the words to be squeezed together, but I hope my feelings for you guys are still able to be communicated as well I hope. My heart and soul went into these after all.
So, to everyone I might have left out, and to those included under the spoiler cut as well:
THANK YOU KHINSIDER FOR A WONDERFUL YEAR!
Edit: I checked, yup, the site squished a bunch of my words together, oops. Sorry about that, hope the letters are still legible!

Dear Abhorsen,
We still have yet to talk a lot one-on-one, but I've been in a few roleplays with you, and in case I haven't made it clear yet, I'd like to say now that I am really impressed with your style and dedication. You're also quite mature and I'm very glad to have you as my companion, and I'm always happy to be in an RP together with you. Thank you for the wonderful times, here's to many more!

Dear Ai Misaki,
Where have you gone? :c It seems that several of the friends I've met have disappeared, although school probably plays some role in it. I was happy to have been able to be your guide and welcome committee, in a way, and I hope I'll be able to welcome you back one day. I'll always be ready to.

Dear Anagram,
My mentor in trolling, one of the funniest guys I knew, the king of randomness, and my very dear friend. I am going to succeed in trolling you one day, you'll see! Ahem.
There are so many things I have to thank you for. Thank you for all the laughs, and the cookies, and the muffins, and the discussion. Thank you for the games and the jokes. Thank you for being able to make me smile even as tears were running down my face. Thank you for taking me as your "grasshopper" to teach me the ways of trolling. Thank you for being patient with me, even though I know I don't deserve that kindness of yours at all. Thank you for being there for me as a great friend.
And thank you for saving Zephyra and bringing her to us, she is growing into a beautiful young lady and I have you to thank greatly for it.
I remember when we met, almost a year ago, in Forum Games, back when I was too scared to venture to anywhere else in the forums at all. You have opened my eyes to so many things and you are so original and clever and funny. It is an honor to be your friend and your student, and I look forward to even more time together. Thank you for a wonderful year.

Dear Auron0521,
It's been a while! You're an amazing writer with original, great ideas, skilled in prose and poetry alike. We haven't talked a whole lot, sadly, but I remember when you first joined. I was afraid you had left shortly after, and you won't believe my belief at seeing you return. You're either gone again or I'm somehow missing it when you come, but either way, I'm very glad to have met you, and hope we can meet again soon.

Oh Bones, you are a great addition to our cafe, and a great member of the Moogle Army, although I can't help but feel you find me annoying. Because I can't help but feel I'm annoying to you. Just a feeling I can't shake.
Still, though, you are a humorous, bright, skilled, mature young man, and I am happy to have met you. Thank you for the memories.

Dear ChakramGirl8,
Where did you go? I remember when you joined, wide-eyed and excited, trying to put together an RP and stumbling a few times, but showing true potential. Such fervor and spirit is rare, and no matter what, I think it is your best attribute. Don't let others tell you to lose it. Hold onto that, so you never forget how to smile.

Dear Corvette623,
The Holden I have heard so much about from Lan! I must say, it was great to finally meet you, and to find out you were a Lumpy Space Princess fan... wow. I must say, your Roleplay regarding the Hunger Games really catches my eye --you are a talented and smart man for sure. We have yet to talk a lot, but hopefully that will change soon!

Dear Dawn Rebirth,
...There's so much I want to say to you. So, so much.
I can't say I remember when I first say you very clearly- just that I remember you being one of Lan's friends. And Lan seemed to have a lot of friends, really, so at first you were just Lan's friend with a really cool One Piece avatar.
And then, you said hello to me. More specifically, you asked me about my username and avatar. A simple enough meeting, and not uncommon.
And now you became the guy with a wonderfully philosophic username and a way with words.
You were the one who gave me the nickname Mazy, and my username The Amazy Dazy. You were the one I could always talk to about school. Creative, funny, and I soon found out you were a writer like I was!
And then I became the girl with the really bad jokes. And you became the guy with the great insight and advice.
We had a lot of the same tastes in anime, and I grew to look forward to our talks about One Piece and Bobobo-Bobobobo and Team Four Star and so much more. We shared our woes, shared our joys, shared our triumphs, we shared candy (in spirit). I annoyed you at times, and I know that. And for what it's worth, I'm sorry for those times --but I can't come to regret them because I always had so much fun with you.
And something I remember vividly is our little roleplay together. I wasn't very good, but I enjoyed myself. Getting it started was one of the places I annoyed you the most, I'm guessing, but even then you were so kind anf patient with me. I was always so excited to see your responses, simply seeing that you had responded managed to put a smile on my face. You are an amazing roleplayer and an astonishing theorist.
I can't say when, but somewhere in there, you and I became great friends and confidants. And what's harder to trace to a single point is when I started to admire all you can do, all your potential, all your skill, your drive... So much about you simply amazes me. You were so many things I wasn't, so many things I wanted to be --you still are! And that's what I've loved most about you, that you're true to yourself and kind and intelligent and, while thoughtful of others' feelings, you are confident enough to defend your own points. You're insightful, bright, humourous... it's a horribly subjective, to the point where the phrase may be meaningless by now, and I hope you don't misunderstand what I mean when I say, I truly think you're the perfet guy. And even if I'm not your perfect girl I wish you every happiness in life.
Oh, I forgot to mention this in the timeline because I have forgotten where it fell, but somewhere along the way, when we went from strangers and fate had us meet, then we chose to become each other's friends, you and I became more than that. Officially.
Thank you, Dawn Rebirth, for being the best boyfriend I could imagine or hope for. I am more grateful than I could ever really express to you, and hope that I have managed to bring you at least a fraction of the happiness and bliss you have so easily brought me. Here's to another great year, and hopefully more to come.

Dear DMrayZ,
The father of my child. As said father, you really should stop LOSING OUR DAUGHTER.
Ahem. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Our start actually goes all the way back to my start- on this site, anyway. Back when I was far too scared to venture outside of Forum Insanity, or even Forum Games, for the most part. There, I ran into one of the regulars of the section, someone I liked to call Sora-Dora. Or Romeo, for a short time.
You have been my dear friend from the start. We laughed together and ran around forum insanity, and always, always, I could count on you being there with me.
Until you weren't anymore...
...But, you're back now, and that's what matters the most. I was so happy to see you finally return. Even though it had been a while, even though the memories were from way back when I first joined, I didn't forget you.
Since your return, you had taken a liking in My Little Pony- which is another reason to love you. Not only that, we actually starting talking together outside of Forum Games. It was thanks to you agreeing to roleplay with me that I was able to work up the courage to finally roleplay at all. Thank you so much for that. Even if our first roleplay together kind of died out, I'm happy we joined it. Machinegun posters or not, it showed me how fun roleplaying could be. I'd been wanting to join for a long time before then. You gave me the courage to finally step out and do it.
You were even the founder of our lovely cafe, named by our very own Luna. All the fun times we've had together in there are irreplacable to me.
And, now I've gotten to the point of the story where Zephrya comes in. For the point of brevity, I will simply say thank you for taking up the responsibility of raising her with me, since she was quite a surprise to both of us.
You're an original, funny, amazing guy, and I thank you for our year together and hope for many more to come!
Let's meet sometime, you, me, and Zephy, and we'll all share that watermelon.

Dear Hillboy,
My brother and my twin. Regardless of whether the moderators agree with me or not, I find you hilarious and consider you a true forum insanateer. You always manage to make me giggle and you have confidence and strength I could never dream of having. I miss you so much. When I finally get wifi back, it turns out you've been banned and I can't see if you're on mibbit or something because of my school wifi, so I guess I'll wait for your hopeful return.
You also amaze me with your ability to use photoshop, I stuggle with GIMP. And that avatar you made just for me that one time with the sparkles and hot guys and vampires and candies and flowers... It was so beautiful. I don't know why you stopped wearing it, it was just gorgeous.
Thank you for all the laughter, I'll see you again soon!

Dear Keyblade Seeker,
I remember first going to hide in Forum Games after my attempt at reviving the fanclub. I remember seeing that you had started almost every club and I was certain you were one of the really important people there, perhaps even one of the leaders of the section. It seemed like a natural assumption to me. You even got on to me and DM for going on dates in your thread, haha.
Even if you turned out not to be one of the official leaders, you're one of Forum Game's regulars and it was thanks to you that it was alive, I think. You, me, DM... all three of us, and others, worked hard to keep it alive. It's died down again since, but that doesn't mean we don't all meet up there again every so often. Heh, that's even where I picked out your nickname for you. MaPS- which has a meaning only the two of us will know.
Since then, we've even roleplayed together. It's been a real treat to be with you there, too, just like everywhere else we were together in practicing. Not only are your creative and original with your characters, but you're also very fun to interact with. I hope we can participate in even more together later, and I'll try to be more diligent in the ones we are in now.
Thank you for being a friend with whom I could discuss My Little Pony and Mermaid Melody! I love ya!

Not only are you incredibly original at your roleplaying with character designs, you are also a good host for your RPs. I hope we can finish some of those RPs you hosted that have died down over time. It's a lot of fun to roleplay with you, or even just talk you. You are also amazing at editiing art. Far better than I ever will be, that's for sure. Thank you so much for convincing me to get GIMP. Although I'm not the best with it, I love it and I love getting a chance to try to use it. And I have you to thank for getting me to try it. Thank you so, so much, King.

Dear KingdomKey,
I really, really, really wished we talked more frequently, and it's probably my own fault that we don't. I miss our talks, though, you are so strong and funny, and I think you were the first female figure I bonded with here. I remember we met when I wanted to compliment your and Lan's team written story, and though we seem not to have become as close as I would have liked, I still value the friendship we do have very much. You're an amazingly dedicated friend and a creative writer whom I am lucky to have met. Thank you for the guidance and laughter you have already provided for me, here's hoping for another great year for us, and hopefully many more to come.

No! I won't let you go! Kiwi, come back! Come back!
You were my dear, dear friend! One of the few friends I could talk to all about Kairi and Studio Ghibli and Pokemon and lots of other topics! We had so much in common, and you were such a great guy! You are such a great guy! Funny, tasteful, a great friend, named after an awesome fruit, cool... You even have two plus signs by your name! Just to show how special you are not only to me, but to all of your friends!
Kiwi, you have so many of us here who cherish your friendship, and although my responses to our paragraph conversations my be so so slow, I truly enjoy our topics of conversation and would hate for them to just end like that! Please, Kiwi, please do go! You can't go! I'm not Platinum yet, you have to stay to see that, at least! Which would mean probably about another 5 years or so at the pace I'm going.
Kiwi, I miss you, and you are an amazing person who also adores Flynn Rider and Kairi. I thank you for your friendship and patience with me, and beg that you stay, at least a little longer. Please, Kiwi, please!

Dear Lanydx reborn,
I am somewhat pressed for time, so I won't say as much as I'd like. But believe me when I say there is a lot of have to be thankful for from you.
You are my teacher, my guidance, my light when I was lost in the dark, my sight when I was blind, my joy when I felt ready to give up so many times. From close to the beginning, you were there for me. You were so open, so willing to take me under your wing... Thank you so much for that. Thank you for being someone I could turn to for spiritual matters as well as problems with everyday life. Thank you for being there for me when I was struggling, or coming to my defense when you felt you needed to.
Thank you for becoming my teacher.
I've learned so much from you. Whether or not your grammar lacks, your ability to weave together interesting stories and characters is, in my eyes, undeniable. The fact that, as a writer, you know where you're going and have a way to get there through any route you seem to wish to take truly inspires me. I want to be able to write with such abandon yet never lose track of my goal. As of yet, I am still struggling with that, but I have gotten better, and I think it was because of you, at least partially.
And also, even more so than my teacher, thank you for becoming my best friend.
You're not perfect, no one is, really. You can sometime get a little angry or be a little particular about certain types of fangirls. But those flaws don't make you a bad person, and you shouldn't think that they do- they make you human. Everyone has their shortcomings.
And you know what shines brighter than those little flaws? All the wonderful things you are. You are a wonderful friend, willing to talk to someone when they're down, willing to show the way when they're lost, willing to just be with them, even when nothing's wrong, because you know no one should feel like they're all alone. Being so strong, spiritually and mentally, is a truly admirable trait.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can never say that enough to you, so I hope this is okay enough to show how I feel about the friendship we have built and continue to build.

You are a wonderful writer, as proved by our roleplays together. Even if you can be prone to typos in your rush, the story you're telling is always one so intriguing.
You are also a great artist, and much more frequently than me, especially lately. I haven't drawn in weeks, and then your new avatar is your latest picture and you offered to make me a picture as well? You are a much more discipline artist than me, I guess, and that's what I need to aim to be as well. I also need to aim to be as good at coloring as you are, because you are phenominal at it.
Thank you for the laughter and joy, and here's to much more to come!

Dear Lunarmaster54,
You are a great friend, and an even great roleplayer. I am thankful for the roleplays we have gotten to be in together, because getting to roleplay with your well developed characters was not only an honor for me, it also gave me a goal, a benchmark I want to reach and maybe even surpass. "I want to do as well as Lunar is doing..." With that in mind, I have been able to grow. I can see what I am supposed to do, and part of who I have to thank for that is you. Thank you so much.

Ahem, no, ignore that comment, it's irrelevant to what I have to say. I believe we met in Forum Games for the first time, right? And though not very intimate, we did become friends. Imagine my surprise when I ran into you again in a roleplay you lead! You are a very good leader, I must say, setting your rules and limits and enforcing them as fairly but as strictly as you must. Even though rule Number One makes little sense to me, I understand where you're coming from. Thank you for helping me to fix my characters and for inviting me into the roleplay with you guys. Although I have been slow as of yet, I plan to speed up my responses and do better from here on out when I can! Thank you for the memories!

Dear Mite,
...Mite. Mite, Mite, Mite. I met you in my earliest days in Forum Insanity, do you remember, too? Oh, when things were so confusing and everyone was ninjaing everyone else, but yet, in all that insanity and chaos, we found a sort of order, a sort of familarity, a sort of enjoyment. It was there where we built our connection, there where we met, there were we hid from the rest of the forum, there where we laughed, there where we hugged and shared kool-aid, EVEN THOUGH YOU TRIED TO GET OUT OF THAT HUG YOU MEANY
Ahem. It was there where a luv grew, where our friendship blossomed, where I ninja'd most of your posts, or if not me, someone else. You were so prone to ninja'ing back then, weren't you?I ban you because even though i luv you guys (and Kool-Aid) I have boundary issues and prefer not to be touched.
Hehe, it was also in the good old days of The Last Person To Post Wins. Oh, the fun we had in that thread. The violence, the circle, the zombies, the mind control, the rope, the chair, the dinosaur... If only it hadn't all ended so abruptly.
But what could never end so abruptly is our friendship. Formed in the days of our newness to the site and strengthened through the fires of forum insanity!
Mite, you are a dependable, fun, smart, loving friend, and I thank my lucky stars to have found you. You've been there for me all this time, never ceasing, never going away on a long long haitus, never just disappearing without reason. Thank you, Mite. For being a true blue friend.

Dear Raixfeather,
I wonder if you will read this. I wonder if you will see this. I hope you do, I have a lot to thank you for.
Thank you for playing with me way back when in forum insanity. The Heal One Hurt One thread stands out quite vividly in my memory, although it is not the only one.
Thank you for being someone I could talk to about Kairi and about Xion. Someone who agreed that they were beautiful characters with strong hearts and that Xion especially was a wonderful friend who unfortunately had struggles to go through. Thank you for being there with me in their fanclubs, joking, worshipping, playing... just so much with them, I don't think I could sit here and name it all.
Thank you for laughing and joking with me, and for being number one without having to make a single post. Or, maybe two, you did have 1 post, if I remember correctly. Dedicated to forum insanity, dedicated to your idol, to Xion, the character we agree is so great.
Thank you for being brave. For being true. For being kind. For being a friend. For being funny. For being free-spirited. For being open. For being jolly. For being YOU. I could never thank you enough for that, because that is the most wonderful thing about you.
Thank you for being my friend. Friends are the only things that keep me here, and I am glad you were one of the friends I made. I appreciate it. I appreciate you.
Thank you.

Dear Reflection,
I am going to try very hard not to sound creepy at all in this, please tell me if I fail.
I admired you very much, even before I joined the forums. For some time before I joined, I just lurked the Kairi fanclub, reading through the pages, see who was there, trying to get a better knowlegde of the general concensus on any canon facts I may have forgotten. And you stood out the most of everyone in the club. Your arguments were so compelling, you were such a kind person, and, irrellevantly, your avatars were always the most adorable things in the world.
You were a big part of the reason why I joined. You are an amazing, kind, beautiful, cute, artistic young woman, and I'm sure you will excel at whatever you decide toput your mind into.

Dear Shinra,
It has come to my attention that I can't remember with exact precision who I met first here. And that doesn't surprise me- this is me I'm talking about. I can't remember what I ate for breakfast most days. (Facts and formulas, I've got, but people, faces, names? In one ear and out the other. 'Tis the sad truth of a sad girl such as I.)
But, you know what? I do consider you my first friend. You were my first official friend. If I look on my page, you were my first visitor's message. I don't remember our meeting exactly. It certainly didn't happen in the Kairi fanclub, though, so it definitely must have been in Forum Games at some time. I remember a thread I saw you make that I followed you to, more proof to me that you were my first. I had nothing else to cling to- no one else to look for.
It was the one about Kai being latin to butt-kicking monkeys or something to that effect, by the way.
You became more than my friend, though. You became my brother. It wasn't long that you were the only one I could turn to-- Forum Games is a great place to make friends, after all-- but you were still, and are still, my first, and therefore you have a permanent place in my heart.
Thank you, Renn.

Dear Sign,
You are one of the members that are incredibly hard not to notice. I'd go as far as to say that you're impossible to miss. A hardworking, talented site staff member who knew Kingdom Hearts inside and out? Even someone like me who hid in Forum Insanity somehow knew. I forget how, exactly, though, maybe through popcultural osmosis. Regardless of how exactly, though, I knew before we formally met that you were great.
And I knew that I wasn't. Which really makes me wonder how I came to be writing to letter to you as a friend. Even now, I'm iffy on the details, but a year ago, I couldn't have even imagined such a scenario.
For what it's worth, I truly appreciate you, Sign. You are kind and not only do you do your best for the site, but you also do your best for your friends. You are bright and caring and skilled, and I don't think it's possible for me to eloquently list everything I appreciate about you. There are just so many qualities you have that make you an absolutely amazing friend, and I still can't believe you chose to be a friend to me, as well. I can only hope to have been able to bring you a fraction of the bliss you have brought me. I am proud to be able to call you my friend.
Thank you so, so much.

Dear strugglechamp,
I miss you. We had such fun talks back when you were still with us, and we were good friends, I think. I hope to get to see you again soon, my friend.

Dear Taim,
My classmate, or would-be classmate, but you seem to have vanished. It's devastaing, really. We were just getting to be good friends. I hope I'll be able to see you again someday soon! Maybe we could be a roleplay together like we had hoped.

Dear Taosenpai,
You are an intellegent, kind-hearted woman, a masterful debator, a talented artist, a new but dedicated staff member, and, perhaps most amazingly, you are a wonderful friend. I am proud to call you my friend, and honestly surprised that someone as gifted as you would somehow notice me. But somehow, you did, and I am forever grateful for all you do and all you have done. Thank you.

Dear testify,
Oh, testies, I miss you so. You are one of Forum Game's regulars, and always so funny and full of life, but I always always always seem to miss you while you're on. I truly hope we can talk together again soon. It's not the same without you. I miss coming up with reasons to ban each other. Thank you for all the laughter.

Dear The Scientist,
No, I mean Dear Chichi. Because you will always be my Chichi.
At first, admittedly, I wasn't sure we would get along very well, but you certainly proved my worries false. We may have had a lot of minor disagreements, but you're so funny and earnest and hard-working in what you want to accomplish! How could I ever dislike you? I hope you return soon, and then we can talk again. I miss you, Chichi. Thank you for helping to make this year great. And for making me a fanclub, that was so sweet.

Dear Theart,
We haven't spoken in so long. I miss talking with you. You're so original, so confident, such a great friend. The first roleplay I ever joined was one led by you, and it opened my eyes to lots of other roleplays, too. You set my start. you helped open my world.
And you helped me actually start shipping SoNami, there's that as well.
Our talks about manga and Disney movies and princesses and all the sweet things and thoughtful talks we've had... I'll never forget them. So thank you. Thank you for being my friend. For being there for me. Hopefully, one day, we will be able to pick up where we left off.

Dear theirlosthearts,
Thank you for being the friend I needed so badly. You are practically my brother. We met in forum games, I remember that. So, you were one of my earliest friends. Not only are you creative and an excellent poet, you are also expressive and the two of us can tell each other anything. Having a friend like that, whom I can trust and who knows that they can trust me, just makes me so happy. Thank you for being that friend for me, Lost. Thank you for being there when I needed you.

Dear Watanuki-kun,
Your letter is the only one getting a gif. Check all the other letters, you'll see. Just a little something extra for my dear friend Watanuki.
From the start, we got along great. We met during Winter Break, when we had all the time in the world, even though we were on opposite sides of it. Our ships, our character preferences, our taste in media, they all lined up perfectly. It was so great to have someone to talk to about all my obsessions, and you could talk to me about any of yours, too. We even matched up in our shipping --I'm a girl that prefers yuri, you're a boy that prefers yaoi. We're the perfect match for a frienship ship. And you gave me the most adorable nickname ever and you make me blush so much.
You're almost like a brother to me, and at the same time, just like a close friend I've known all my life.
Winter Break did come to an end, and it was hard to see each other at any other time because of how the timezones left the timing for us to meet to be completely inconvient. But still, you came back. And that makes me so happy. Thank you, Watanuki. For being there. For me. You're a wonderful friend and blessing.

Dear Xosej,
We met through your friend request, and I am forever grateful you sent it. We got along so quickly, and I finally knew someone else who loved The World God Only Knows and someone with almost the same story as me as far as KH goes. You've disappeared for a while now, but I hope to see you again soon.

Dear Zul,
I know you planned it. You somehow planned that circumstances would have me take a break after episode two. "Enjoy Mami's Tiro Finale" indeed. Humph. In hindsight, that was incredibly witty, but still I know you planned it somehow!
Haha, but on a more serious note, thank you, Zul. Thank you for the laughs and the great times together. You're so funny, and excellent at analysis. I'm honestly surprised you noticed someone as unimpressive as me at all. But thank you for noticing me somehow. Becuase in the time we did get to talk (curse my school for banning mibbit) I had so much fun. I learned so much, I looked at things different ways, I laughed, and I just had times I wouldn't trade for the world. I don't think I can ever thank you enough, but please, just know that I am so grateful for everything you've done for me.

Dear Master Spockanort,
You are definitely one of the most notable members of KHI. I am very glad I got to meet you, and I treasure our friendship very much. You are so smart, talented, interesting, driven, fun... Thank you for noticing someone like me. And thank you for all you do. For the site and for your friends. I hope I can grow to be at least half the woman you are.

Dear Wastewander,
I always worry that I annoy you. I wouldn't doubt it, I'm an annoying person. I just feel like we weren't as good friends as I once thought, and honestly, that really upsets me. Mostly becuse I hate to think I was a bother to you all that time. If that's the case, I truly am sorry. I really do like you. You're so funny and friendly, and I really did want to be your friend. But if the feelings aren't reciprocated, I can't say that I blame youo, really. Thank you for all the fun, and I wish you joy and luck in everything you do.

Dear Professor Ven,
I am so grateful that you took me as your student in the roleplaying academy. I had seen some of your posts in several parts of the forum, and I could tell you were intellectual, funny, easygoing... And I was terrified that you'd turn me down. In hindsight, I suppose I was being rather paranoid, since it was a place for bad roleplayers like me to become better, but still, I was just so happy to see you accept me. I will never forget your words of acceptance, "Cookie Cookie, Cookie Cookie!" I did not speak cookie, put I sincerely hoped that was an acceptance, or my little happy dance would have been all for not. And the advice you gave me really helped. I can never thank you enough for that.
I am also grateful to have you as a friend. I suppose it's not official, but it certainly feels like a friendship to me, at least. For someone like me to be able to call someone as awe-inspiring as you a friend... it's a little unbelievable to tell the truth. Not only because you're basically one of my heroes, but also because you are one of the best friends and mentors a girl could have. That anyone could have, actually. It's a huge honor.
Profy, I truly admire you and am glad to have been able to meet you. Thank you.

Dear oathkeeperriku09,
Although a bit eccentric at times and a bit mean about certain “types” of fans, I must admit that I have admired how open you were and how you were so unafraid to speak your mind, and your dedication to Kairi, as well. I had wanted to work up the confidence to say hello to you for quite a while, actual. But one day, I finally did.
And that attempt at sociallizing was thusly ignored. Not gonna lie, that cut me deep.
It took me a while to build up the confidence to try again, but the next time I brought something that I was sure would help me start up a conversation with you! I was surprised a plan of mine actually worked, but I was happy, nonetheless! And I was even happier that you liked what I brought- you even complimented it!
We haven't talk a lot, but I'm still glad I was able to get you to notice me and to become friends with you, even if it isn't anything very big or particularly intimate. I'm just glad to have you as a friend. Thank you.

Dear Mistearea,
You were a wonderful friend and a great roleplayer, and I am honored to have met you. I am so glad you chose me to write a collaboration with. I was so surpirsed. Thank you. I will try to do better about updating it. I miss you and await your return.
