Hey guys! Saru/Alexander Frost here! First and foremost. I just wanna say thank you! No, I'm not leaving. So you can put the rope down bones.

I'm saying thank you, because while I'm not very active..I just wanna say how much I love this site and you guys! Allow me to expound on this.

Okay, when I first joined this site I confess I was a bit rusty! I started roleplaying on Myspace, with OC's in custom and Naruto genre. ALL of my roleplays were combat. The popular rule was, if you lost, you had to delete your profile to simulate the finality of death. I, for a while to my great pride, never lost because my character was methodical, defensive oriented, and cautious. Fights were long, and grueling, but generally not difficult. However this didn't do much for me as a writer . I got the point where I could do thirty paragraph posts, ten, fifteen thousand word roleplay rounds of just my character doing a single attack and felt like "billy badass" all over the place.

It started to feel hollow after a while though. I noticed that, while I liked my posts, they weren't story esq. I'd read books in school, and wonder why my posts didn't seem as captivating as that.

Fast-forward to about a year ago. I'd been doing heavy forum roleplay, but I noticed my post quality had vastly declined. A few paragraphs at best, and weren't overly detailed. Half the time they were just exposition heavy. So when I ended up finding this site, I was just flabbergasted. Humbled as well. The quality of peoples posts? Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I could read a roleplay and often not notice time passing by. It was fantastic. Picturesque for most posts. All that "amazing" roleplay fighting I'd done paled in comparison to people that blended english and art so flawlessly. Honestly? Most the compliments wrem and bones gave me about my attention to detail? VERY heavily inspired from some of the stuff I saw here. It was like it opened my eyes to a writing style I was decent at before hand, but no where near as good as potential would provide.

I was a bit nervous as I recreated Saruwatari, but by the time I was doing my Origin topic with our favorite grass loving Professor, I felt my mojo really going. When I got my feedback from Wrem I was soooo stoked. I felt great even! Getting constructive feedback, and just knowing what someone enjoyed about my roleplay yet what I could do better was a huge satisfaction. Not only had I been informed that someone liked what I posted, but I was given genuine advice towards improving my roleplay and writing style.

Even now, as I sloooooowly work towards my next post I just...get lost in it! I find myself thinking when I walk to/from work or while at work of what I'll do next. Where I'll go. Eager even to hear peoples feed back after I'm done!

So, in general, you guys are amazing and thank you so much for providing a place where I can be excited to write! You guys really REALLLY help me improve myself as a writer and I couldn't love you all enough for it!!

Ditto.





Joke aside, you've summed up the exact same feeling I have toward this site. And I am full of internally combusting butterflies, because somehow I could be a part of your journey as a writer. It's fantastic to know that Godai holds the same meaning for you as it does for me. Writing. Storytelling. Those are never tasks that one does alone, and I hope Godai remains a place of fun, feedback and growth for those who seek it.

Sincerely, thank you, very very much for this.

This is exactly what I have worked these years to provide. I admit, I feel disheartened sometimes, and it gets really really hard to find motivation to do much of anything for the site. But things like this, these unsolicited, beautifully random, and incredibly well written praises deeply affect me. The way someone can encapsulate the underlying goal I and others set out to achieve over three years ago really resonates with me.

Thank you Saru, I really hope that Godai can continue to be a good experience for you and others.

I really appreciate you writing this.
