Fornara here!
2 min read
One year, six months, and two days after my laptop broke and thus cut me off from Deviantart...
I RETURN.
I doubt anyone's paying attention to this corner of the internet anymore, but to those who somehow do find this, hey! I'm sorry I was gone for such a long time but I'm excited to be back! I saved up money and finally convinced my parents to let me buy myself a new laptop, so here I am. For the most part I'm still just going to be lurking around here, but slowly (REALLY SLOWLY), I'm hoping to start posting things again.
Things to (maybe) look forward to;
-Plushies and their tutorials
-Lots of clay stuff
-Short animations (Most will be for a friend's Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-based series of shorts, for which I'm the "main animator")
-Occasional spoken word poetry recordings (highly unlikely though)
-And finally, pages/chapters of a webcomic I've been planning for some time, Jetsam! (Assuming I get moving on it!)
In the meantime I'll just be clearing out my inbox of a year and a half's deviation accumulation and answering all those messages I never got around to. If anyone wants to come say hi I'd be glad to chat, and again, glad to be back!

Sorry guys. I've been lurking here for a few days just to check on how things are going, but I haven't replied to any messages or really forked through the growing mound in my inbox... 
I'm not ignoring anybody, life just decided to sneak up on me and beat me up a little so now I'm trying to fix my grades and keep up with homework and all that crap. I should be more active soon, and I'll get around to answering the comments in my box as soon as I can, but just bear with me being missing for a little while longer. And I figured I at least needed to give an explanation for why I haven't answered you in weeks.
I love you guys!
Stay awesome while I'm gone, don't go deactivating your accounts or anything, etc etc etc.

COME HERE GUYS

Guys. Guys. What happened? We're supposed to all be friends and support each other here on dA. Everywhere in my inbox, I'm seeing horrible, sad things. We're fighting and there's something wrong with that. And those who aren't fighting are just standing to the side and watching. I'm not sure where it went wrong (there was probably just a misunderstanding somewhere) but I think it's about time I got around to writing this. I've been meaning to write this for some time now, but never got around to it.
You people have made the past few months some of the best in my life. I've had so much fun getting to talk to all of you, get to know you, see what you have to offer to the world. And dang, guys, you're all so talented! I don't know how you accepted a little dork like me into the fold, but I'm glad you did.
;
Kiddo, you're one of my closest friends on dA. The first time I met you, I considered you the peppy, outgoing, popular girl, so while I was really shy about talking to you at first, I didn't really have an option in the matter. xD I'm not sure what made me worth the attention, but you talked to me so much, and even though I might not have done a good job of showing it, that made me feel really good. Because, really, girl; you've got an army of deviants backing you up and loving you and your incredible writing, and I'm just one of the crowd. I was nowhere near your level (I'm still not!) and you, the more experienced, more skilled deviant, decided to be kind to me instead of ignoring me. That in itself still kind of leaves me dazed. But lemme tell ya, even when I seem to disappear off the face of the earth, I love ya like a sister and look up to you, and I really treasure our friendship. Thanks for being there for me, bby.
You're gonna be a fantastic, famous writer someday, so don't let life get you down.
;
I've only just gotten to start talking to you, but I can already tell you're a really sweet individual. You should be more confident in yourself - you're a wonderful person and you have talents! You are even more cool than Dave Strider.
;
If it weren't for you, Cherry, I wouldn't have returned to my neglected dA account and met ANYONE I'm listing here. None of them. I found your writing on Fanfiction and immediately came here to Watch you after discovering that you had a dA, since your writing was just so good, and the plots were pretty original for being in such an overcrowded fandom. Then, through the stream you had a long time ago, I met a bunch of the other people on here, and it all went down from there. I've met so many wonderful people (you included!) all thanks to you and your wonderful stories. If I hadn't met those people, I wouldn't have touched my dA again. And if that hadn't happened, there's a good chance that half of the stuff in there wouldn't exist now, much less my novel-in-progress! I OWE YOU SO MUCH IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE.
YOU KEEP BEING THAT WONDERFUL PERSON YOU ARE FOREVER AND EVER, OKAY?
;
Talking to you is always refreshing! You're so nice to me and so supportive and I wish I had more time to get to know you better! Plus, you like all the lesser-known shows I like and that is just win right there. COME HERE, FELLOW TWINLEAFSHIPPER, LET US BE AWESOME TOGETHER.
;
My novel would not exist without you. There, I said it, straight and blunt. If it weren't for your support back when the story was just a bunch of wispy plotbunnies in my head, my story would have never made it past the first few paragraphs. You put up with my ranting, gave me good suggestions, and now my story is a real, progressing one. And jeez, Miki, you're so sweet to me and everyone else, and you never fail to make me smile. You made me my beautiful author tag back when you hardly knew me, and you're such a promising writer and artist yourself! I love talking to you and you're one of the people I consider my closest friends too. Don't ever leave me, okay?
I could rant so much longer on this, but I think I'd better stop here.
;
I've known you easily the longest out of everyone here. I knew you even before the Cancer summer, and in that summer you put up with my irritability and panic and helped calm me down where no one else could. If it weren't for you, I might have wound up just as bitter and choleric as the rest of my family was while my mom was having Chemo treatments. Our roleplays were so much fun, too, and those helped me become a lot better at writing! Those nights where we'd stay up well past midnight just chatting and rping were the best. Those nights are probably what kept me going all the way until the Cancer summer was over. And even now, even when we don't talk as often as we used to, we still chat and be awesome whenever we can, and personally, I think it's an acheivement that we've managed to keep our friendship alive and strong for...what, 2 or 3 years now? People say internet friends aren't really real friends...well, I beg to differ.
;
I don't think much needs to be said here; you and I are friends for life, even though you moved out to China on me. We need to Skype again soon. I miss ya, girl. Take care over there, and thanks for being my friend for so long~ Here's to 8 years of best-friendship!
;
TEXAN BROFIST, GIRL. WE ARE THE AWESOME TEXAS PEOPLE.
Your writing is so pretty and I am so jealous and can I just kind of flop here at your feet and love you? Even though we don't talk as much as some, I love ya and even if you sometimes think you're not as loved or skilled as some of the other deviants on here, you are completely wrong, bby. You are amazing and don't you forget it. And one last thing - I'm fairly sure you were the first person to come and love on me at Cherry's stream so long ago. Thanks for making me feel welcome with you guys~
;
I don't know you as well as some of the other people here, and frankly I still get a little nervous talking to you because you're so well-known and skilled of a deviant, you're much higher up on the chart of importance than yours truly, but you're someone I like on here nonetheless. You're one of the most honest people I've seen around here, and you do your best to be kind to everyone who comes your way. I respect you and I hope I can someday be a deviant like you. ^^
;
I only met you a month or two ago, but I already feel like I've known you forever. You're one of the very few people I've been able to get along with right off the bat; the only other person I know who came even close to opening me up that fast was Kiddo. But, really, Mike, you did not try to talk me patiently out of my shell - you came at me with a freaking crowbar and yanked me out. xD I love getting to discuss our stories together and fangirling over CyKy and having all the strangest soultwin moments. You are the best merpasaur ever. Just sayin'.
;
We haven't had many opportunities to talk, but I really want to be able to chat with you more! You seem like a really fun person, and you are a Homestuck fan. That right there is a recipe for awesome, so I'm gonna bug you more often. We must talk more. My decision is made.
All of you guys have made me feel so loved and wanted here, and the thought of coming to talk to you guys is what gets me through the school day. Recently, my dA account has been acting up, and only lets me answer comments and messages at sporadic intervals, so I haven't been able to hang out with you people as much as I'd like to, but trust me, I'm trying. Let's all just be happy with each other, okay? I hate to see you guys unhappy.
ONE MORE THING BEFORE NARA GOES; MERRY CHRISTMAS/HANNUKAH/HOLIDAYS, GUYS!

CHRISTMAS ALERT

Okay, people, I need to get my crud together before Christmas gets here, as it's probably gonna take me a while to finish up with everyone's gifts and make them beautiful~ Here's the people I plan on making something for.
MissKiddoChan
MikeNeil
MikiKimio
SpectrAbyss
Cherrypop146
Yoshi-Flower99
Masqurade-Chan
TheSweetLemonPie
gabbyjty99
clawthehedgehog11
If you want your name off the list, for whatever reason, tell me, but I'd much rather have you tell me what you'd like~ If you can't come up with anything, I'll draw something random for you depending on what I know about your interests. I actually might be able to write some stuff, but I won't know entirely until November ends and I can accurately check how broken my fingers are from typing. So. Yep.
NANOSTATUS - 27K WORDS AND CLIMBING. 8 DAYS LEFT UNTIL TIME'S UP.

Nano Update

Well, guys, it was a good fight, but I'm pretty much screwed on Nanowrimo. I went a full week without a single written word because of school and other things, and as of now I'm over 20 thousand words behind. So, in short, unless I can pull a miracle out of my fingertips, I'm not going to make the 50k. But on the bright side, even though it's all awful writer barf, I have 21 full pages of my novel written, and I've only just gotten started! That would have never happened without Nanowrimo. So I'm going to give it my best shot, try my darndest to make that miracle happen, and I'm going to get as much as I can written.
So don't be surprised if a bunch of random drawing stuff starts turning up on my dA - it's all the by-products of my procrastination efforts. If any of you people are curious about them, don't be afraid to bug me about it, because I love talking~
Oh, and one other thing. Christmas is gonna be coming up pretty soon, and I need to make awesome things for you guys. If you're one of my very few watchers/friends, I'll be more than happy to draw you guys something (I would let you guys ask for writing too but all my writing attention must go to my novel) so if you have anything in mind, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you~ There are a few things I simply won't draw, though, so...
...
uh, bye now.
