If someone said to me one day that so many people would take an interest in the things that came out of my mind I might have given them the side eye with a
squint - but here we are! 13 years on FA going strong.

I don't do journals often but I thought this was a good as milestone as any to just make some short shout outs to the people who have helped make this all a reality!

I am truly humbled by peoples interest and curiosity about Jared - he is a labour of love for me, something special and close to my heart and to see other people enjoying the things I share here brings me joy. He has come along way over the years and as he continues to evolve, to grow (pun intended!) and expand his lore and background I hope you will continue on this journey with me. There are many stories yet to be told I am sure! I appreciate every artist and writer who has help form part of that story that is Jared and made that come to life in their wonderful works!

As I think about the last few years particular I have had the joy and luck to meet many wonderful people in the community too who I now count as close friends and I am grateful for them and everything they do - if you have talked with me, chatted or interacted with me know I appreciate you and everything you are!

As the years go on I want to continue being a positive force in the little small corner of the internet I find myself in and bring people joy with the works that I share.

Thank you my watchers, followers and fellow mecha fans - you are all amazing!

Here is to many many more years of fun growing mecha derg action!
