...Yup.
Ten years ago - a decade ago - wee little 16-year-old Birdy decided to see about this "Enn Tee Double-Yoo Eff" she kept hearing about at the NTAG.
Once confirming that yes, it's free to join (haha), she did just that.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
So many memories over the past 10 years...
Karmageddons. (During which I was always placed on the same team as one other NTWFer, which we found highly amusing - Ranumgen musta liked us.)
Secret Santas. (I remember the first year I hosted - the old (like, decade-old) desktop computer we had crashed shortly after I started to send out the assignments. And then when I booted it back up it acted as if it was brand-new and had no information on it at all. 8D So that was fun, and because the computer was continuing to crash (as it had been doing for months, since like I said, old), I ended up staying up until like, 6am trying to get all the assignments sent out. \ o / )
Getting published in the NT. (This had been a dream of mine for a while. Kinda a casual dream, "Oh, that'd be cool! Shiny trophy for a collection!". But then after joining NTAG, the writing bug bit and welp, I was doomed. =D So I posted the story I'd written over in the Work Reviews and Advice place, got some very good advice, fixed things, entered it, got held-overfor a month, then accepted! \ o / ...This is also going on ten years, wow.)
And speaking of writing...
Roleplays. (AhMAN these are awesome. Mafia III was my first and bwee, was it fun. < 3 Medieval was awesome too. And Town. And Hero City. And I still have multiple fics I need to write for them all. 8D )
...There's also a lot I'm sure I'm forgetting, but ah-hah, ten years is a lot of memories and things to try to remember. x3 And then to try and narrow it all down to just a few specific things...
Let's just say the past ten years here have been awesome and thank-you all so much for helping to make it so. <3

I've only just recently gotten to know you better through events like Hero City or Nano, but it's already been a pleasure, and I hope you continue to enjoy your time here!
