Wow... it's been seven whole years?! I could have sworn yesterday I was attending the very first unofficial FCF on one of my alt accounts, but now here I am looking at the very last FCF recap thread hosted by THE Abigail Flickerfly. Time flew faster than we do during SpeedRounds!
Words are failing me in writing this response post because I have no idea how to phrase what I want to say. What drew me to FairyABC all those years ago was my nostalgia and love of Pixie Hollow Online, but that's not the reason why I stayed. Pixie Hollow Online and the whole franchise itself is really special to me, but FairyABC has been even more special.
And a HUGE chunk of it is all because of FCF. When FCF first began, I first saw it simply as a fun dressing up contest (as advertised). It was all about creating the best outfits we can and sharing our inspirations behind it. While that is true (also as advertised), I'm realizing that there was another unspoken aspect of FCF that my teenage mind didn't pick up on, and that aspect was bonding as friends. I've had friends over the years on the mainland, but I always eventually drift from them over time. I've never really had close friends, and I was never a part of something. But FCF gave me the opportunity to BE a part of something, and I'm SO extremely grateful for it that I don't think there is a humanly possible way to describe it in words.
I really owe it to you, Abi, for giving me the chance to be a part of something – something amazing and magical – for the first time, and for taking the time almost every week to not only host the event but also take the pictures and make the recap threads. You bring this beautiful charm into every FCF event and recap, and I wish on the second star that I could have that same effect on people too. You're such an inspiration to me, and I know for a FACT you are to everyone else too.
Okay, I'll wrap this up now or else I'm going to write a whole essay on how you're the best person ever to exist (hey, that's not a bad idea!) I also want to extend my gratitude towards the rest of the Flickerfly family for being a huge part in your life, especially during the times when we couldn't actively interact with you. Trust me, you've been on our minds A LOT, and you'll continue to not just be in our minds, but also our hearts and memories for all of time. <3
Fly with you from your green plaid-obsessed sparrow man eixiP slaP,
Pie ★
PS. Absolutely LOVED SpeedRound Tales with Abi, it was hilarious xD
PPS. If any Flickerfam is reading this and wondering who on Never Land Pie is and why I magically know the events of this FCF is because I DID go to FCF on my alt account, Carrie. Hi! I'm mostly known as Pie here : P |
