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.

Happy Holidays to you, too. All of you!
Happy Holiday, Kim
Yay! Glad it arrived safely again.
Happy holidays!
Happy holidays!
Yaaaay! I'm glad it got to you so quickly! And before Christmas too.
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.

I looked like this when I opened it
I feel like an emote would convey my emotions better than words.
Hehe, Fun fun. Glad you enjoyed the card.
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?
hehehe, I too was beginning to wonder if you had gotten it yet. I'm glad you liked your card, as ever Darth was the mastermind but everyone he asked was all too willing hehe
Hey I got an old military buddy who lives out that way! He lives over in the coos bay area. Maybe you can swing by and smack em upside the head for me and tell em I said merry christmas. Heh.
I love it you guys!!

We don't just RP ninjas. We are ninjas. Heh.
Yay, you got it!
I've been wondering when you'd get that.
Glad you like it!
I figured a poem just wouldn't do this time. So I went with a story.
Love you Kim!
