The best Christmas card in the universe

You guys have done it again. Today I received a Christmas/Birthday card so thick it's probably more accurately called a book. All written, collected and sent in secret. You are amazing.

There were well wishes, there were poems, there were songs and artwork and short stories.

There was also a DVD that contained all of the RPR adventure videos that have been made to date.

You have once again completely overwhelmed me with this incredible outpouring of love and support. There are no words for how special something like this is. The impact a few kind words have is often many times more than what you think -- to get so many together is like receiving a super charge of joy and awe.


I had big dreams for the repository when I first started programming it, but I never imagined it was even possible for it to become the bastion that it's become. I hear from people all the time who feel that it's become a second family and a safe haven for them. And perhaps more than anyone, that's true for me, too. I love you guys. You make this place awesome. I love your support. I love your silliness. I even love it when you disagree with me because time after time, you have all demonstrated a gift for being reasonable, representing your point of views with grace, and a willingness to examine different perspectives. Where else does that happen on the internet?

With all the hours and hours I pour into working on the RPR, there can be no greater reward than knowing that you appreciate it, and that it is useful and fun for so many of you out there.

Happy Holidays, everyone. You've just made certain that mine will be.

I'm glad it arrived too! I have been waiting (im)patiently since sending it off :)

Thankyou everyone who contributed, I ended up with even more to send than last time! It's no secret that I've known Kim a very long time, so seeing how much support you give her means a lot to me as well and makes me proud to be part of this community.

And for those of you who would like to send Kim something, she posted the address below :)

I feel like an emote would convey my emotions better than words.

Oh man oh man surprise me!

The card just arrived today, I guess the post from England was very slow with the holiday coming up.

Glad you liked it; for what I sent in the card, I now have her colored, but the background isn't done yet. Do you want to know what the background is, or do you want that to stay a surprise?

Glad you like it! :)

I figured a poem just wouldn't do this time. So I went with a story. <3

Love you Kim! :)
