Last year and this year, I have wanted to take time to say thank you with more than just words. I have been unable to create much of anything...writers block is awful...but I want to do more in the ways I can.
I made a big sneeze related birthday contest on Deviantart that is still open where the prize winners are 200 dollars, 100 dollars, 75 dollars, and 25 dollars, but I sitll want to do more than a contest. The rules of the contest are simple. The biggest rule is the same as any of my past contests: create a sneeze XD
there's a few different choices to pick from. Create a sneeze with any OC from anyone, create a sneeze-while-hiding situation, or if a person wanted to listen to me I have a birthday wishlist of characters I like that I wish would sneeze.
I do not just want to do a contest. I want to highlight as many people as I can and share things about each person that I highlight. Originally, I wanted to do a top ten list of my favorite topics/creations each person did...but some people haven't done 10 topics.
So instead I'm going to share what I can. Some people I will do a top ten list, some people I'll do a top 3 list. Some people I'll pick a different number.
Ok. I don't want to just talk. It will be easier to show instead of tell.
Smiles2us is incredible to me. There is a LOT of behind the scenes effort that is going on. Smiles was one of the first people that reached out to me and other people. Smiles, this website would not be the same if if was not for you. Thank you =) thank you for all you do.
Here is my top favorites list.
#5- SCM topic.
https://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=2201.msg232914#msg232914This topic in Media and observations is wild to me. Again, there is a lot behind the scenes that I never see or think about, and seeing the impact and number of minutes watched and other data about the SCM youtube channel, it made me smile. It is not just a few sneeze loving people that click on videos. SCM has made many people's day a little better with the different videos that have been shared over the last "few" years...it seriously has been since 2019...it is crazy that SCM is almost 5 years old now XD
#4-Secret Santa 2018
https://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=2010.msg214181#msg214181Any kind of organized event takes time and energy to make. This topic helped make a secret santa possible in the first place =) Any person can make a comment and say that they want to do something for Christmas, but it is one thing to say. It is another thing entirely to actually do what you say XD This one topic was a fun holiday event and you helped make it be a reality =)
#3-School Raze synopsis/ALL synopsis topics
https://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=1933.msg203921#msg203921Something that you did that was effective was building hype for different episodes of the Friendship is Magic series. I can honestly say that I would not have watched a few episodes that I originally thought I would not be interested in, but your topics with synopsis convinced me to give episodes a chance. With just a few sentences, you made me cheerful or happier about wanting to watch an episode. I picked this School Raze topic because it was the end of season 8. This synopsis was one that hit me in the feels specifically. "It really makes me happy and sad how this awesome series has come so far, all the friends I've made, and for it to end sometimes within 2 years. With that said, I am excited for this episode tomorrow!"
Smiles, you are amazing =) Thank you for taking time sharing/typing these Synopsis topics.
#2-PSF Group Poster Sign Up
https://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=1399.msg130822#msg130822The first day of the 'new' 2018 year. This topic genuinely shocked and surprised me back then, and today it STILL stuns me that this was something that you shared with this topic. I do not even want to think of the time it took to get this big group project completed, let alone organizing it XD
I never imagine the big blue sneeze fetish forum or sneezefurs or even smaller sneeze websites wanting to do something THIS big.
Inviting Every member to be a part of a big project honestly partly inspired me to want to do this 'thank you project'.
#1-Welcome to PSF II ....and Make Her Sneeze
https://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=1094.msg85597#msg85597There's a HUGE reason why this is my top favorite post. It's short. It's basic. But there is a massive importance to this topic.
Smiles, your energy and welcoming attitude helped me want to be a part of PSF. There was a period of 2-4 months where I thought that PSF completely disappeared.
HISTORY LESSON TIME. PSF didn't always look like this. There was a different 1st PSF site. Again, there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff that goes into a site, and the 1st PSF site disappeared. Smiles and other people were somehow able to get PSF II to exist, and I am very thankful for the time and energy that made this website possible.
Smiles...thank you =) Seriously. Thank you for all you do, both with topics and behind the scenes things that no one ever sees.
I do not want to put too much explanation or write much about Make Her Sneeze. It's something that any person can look up on youtube. I am not sure what I can say or what I can't say about Make Her Sneeze, but I'll say something short here. Make Her Sneeze was one of the things that actually inspired me to stop being a silent watcher of sneeze google images and join sneezefurs to begin talking to other people that liked sneezes too. There are other sneeze games that exist, but this short fun idea for a game helped inspire me to do something more than just look at what other people made.
