Exactly one year ago, we write January 2nd at 2:46 PM, the Gang of Five got another member. Me. My impact on the community wasn't big at first. I was very shy at first, my language skills needed improvement and I needed to get to know a few people before my true activity started. I've added some GoF members to my Skype contacts, joined the Skype chat and received my first PMs. I started Roleplaying with Nahla and somerandomfangirl, improved at writing my fanfiction that I started simultaneously to joining and uploaded my first attempt of drawing Ducky.
As time passed, I made more friends, gained more experience and eventually uploaded my fic at last.
The next big step was starting my first RP I think. I was so happy that almost everybody I PMed joined without hesitation.
I was utterly surprised to achieve something I believe only Malte279 has ever managed to achieve. I received three awards in the process of award voting which I didn't expect to be honest. I was fairly sure I'd get a few votes but actually winning one, and three at that? At that point, I realised how big my input must be.
It's now been a year, and I don't plan to change anything in my second year here on the forums. I hope that I can stay as active as I am right now and I hope that the community stays as strong and unbreakable as the Gang themselves.
Thanks for being my friends, guys!
