How did seeing all those compliments on the Anniversary raffle make you feel?

Oh dear, I haven't even looked at the raffle thread, but I'll have to go do that now since I'd feel bad for not having a response to this...
==============================================
OMGosh... I'm gonna be honest here, I had to stop half way through for a few minutes because I was crying and couldn't read. It really is quite overwhelming for me because I'm not really used to getting compliments and 'm very shy about getting them which is a part of why I hadn't read through that thread yet. QvQ
I want to say to everyone who mentioned me in the raffle and all the people who come to my ask and show me support that I can't explain to you how much it means to me. I'm like a lot of you, I am shy and nervous about what other people will think of me and the things I say. I've known the anxiety of seeing someone has read your PM and waiting for a response and the utter terror of getting to know others in the community or just in general. Being an artist for a popular species, I also worry about how my actions and work will reflect upon the community I work for. Seeing how much everyone appreciates my work and even beyond that, the fact that my attempts to reach out and be nice to others, even though it is always scary to me, even to this day, have had such a strong, positive affect on the way you all see me is so encouraging and motivating, even when my non-virtual life has me scared and stressed.
I guess in short my answer to the question is that seeing all those compliments... it made me feel extremely honored to be a part of the plumerian staff and to have gained the good opinion of so many people.
Thank you all so much for everything that was said about me!

Ah I'm very sorry! I have a problem where I do not realize that something is offensive. I often only realize these things afterwards so I put the last sentence in by default to try and not sound offensive in case I do. I have insomnia myself so I understand what you mean. I hope you feel better soon

I understand. ovo
I just figured I'd give a bit of advise since I know from first-hand experience that even the smallest miswording can make a whole message sound very mean or rude to someone over the internet since there is no point of reference for the tone or personality behind the person sending the words. It can cause a lot of upsetting situations, so I feel it is always best to reread and reword before the trouble can start. n_n
(Don't worry, I'm not upset with you at all!~ I was a little upset by the message when I first read it, but I got over that pretty fast. X3)

u.u nuuu I just wrote an entire poem about rainbows and now the eyes of #630 aren't changing T_T Well, still a cool idea anyway but maybe check it next time before you write it down? Also, can the plum have rainbow coloured eyes? (I don't mean this in a mean way sorry if you thought that ^^')

The eyes can be any color(s) you like if you win as long as they aren't color changing.
As for the change in idea, when you've been unable to fall asleep for 3+ hours because every time you close your eyes you start to have a panic attack, and you just get up and come up with the most froofroo idea you can to distract yourself from the dark thoughts, waiting for someone to answer a question first isn't your biggest priority.

I put a fair warning in the description right under the idea saying it very well might change, which honestly was more common sense than I would have expected of myself at the time considering how tired and stressed I was.
I understand that you didn't necessarily mean to sound offensive, but if you feel that your words might be hurtful, they probably are and a re-reading and re-wording of them would be kind to the person you send them to and much more meaningful than simply tagging on at the end that your message that felt very much like an attack wasn't meant to be that way.

My Goals for the Day in Order:

Syra Wolff
1- Finish that FC response I've been working on on-and-off for over a day. OTL
2- Clean and Organize my CS Inbox >_> [very messy atm]
3- Figure out who all I was supposed t be RPing Nadia and Ebi with because I know I arranged RPs for them recently, but I can't remember with who. 0_0
4- FINISH JUDGING SUSHI PLUME ALREADY, FLUFFY!
5- Do 4 RU's (wishful thinking)
6- If I get all this done, celebrate by looking through the CS art boards for commissions of my baes.

ahh thank you! I had noticed the jump, I just wasn't sure when it had happened >v< you mentioned at one point there might be RUs? How many do you plan on?

I don't plan on any RUs before I finish judging, though I have already decided on a max # and the themes for any if they are given out.
I believe I have the information on that in the first page. If not it is in the thread somewhere.

any updates on the sushi plumie? q v q

Yup!~
If anyone's been watching my progress via my to do page [linked in my siggie], they may have noticed that as of this morning, the grading process jumped from 50% done to 80% done as I sat down and had the time to read last night!~
Once I am done grading, it's just a matter of looking through the top 5 forms to decide via character who will win, so I'd estimate a winner can be announced within the week, hopefully the weekend, but as I am visiting my parents this weekend for my mom's birthday, I may end up too busy with family and friends for it to be finished before I get home after Tuesday.

would you be willing to ask swiftalu about the poocyhena plume? not like a "hey judge it right now" but just how it's going? id ask myself but i don't want it to affect the judging!! i want to try for others but not if i stand any decent chance on that one ya?

I spoke with Swifty and it seems that they are very busy both with college and getting used to their new position as a CS Oekaki Mod, so judging hasn't been at the top of their priority list. They have however been working on it with a friend and said they think they are nearly done. n_n

I always get so excited when I see that you've made a new design!!

Oh, I am glad! I really do hope that I can always make people happy with my designs!
I'm in this for you guys after all!~

why hasn't the plumie RP closed for leader apps yet you said it was going to in 3 hours about a day ago? o:

It did, I was just working on reading through all the forms and getting everything arranged!~

How many nursery artists are there ?

I blieive there are four: Charchar2, Polaris., Ivyy, and Syra [Me].

Id like to join the Plumie rp but I can't type long things up on my phone and I won't get my computer back for another week or so, am I able to apply later?

You can join whenever you like, it's just very unlikely that any high positions will still be open at that point.
