15 years!
11 months ago
I've officially been in the fandom 15 years today..! Wow, that's a long time!!
Way back in 2009 I joined after a few friends over at
Kiteless 's DragonSpot forums convinced me to do so (I think the forums were closing or something??) The gang being 
TalonBlaze 
NiteDragon 
AlexDragon 
TastySnack100 and 
Baako sorry if I'm forgetting anyone!
"But Sprout, it says your account was made back in 2006!" Ah-ha! Actually my first account on this site was
Sprout_the_Drakeling but back then on this site there was a system to reclaim accounts that hadn't had any activity, so since this account was empty with no posts I put in a ticket in June of 2013 to get the name! (Shortly after I did so they took that ticket option away though... oops!)
But yeah, thinking back, it's been quite a journey. Hard to believe it's been that long! A lot of amazing things have happened along the way, including me and
NecroDrone13 being together for almost two years now. <3 Love you baby! I also owe a lot to me learning how to draw thanks to the encouragement from this site and it's community. So thanks!!
Speaking of, I've made some really close friends thanks to this site, and although my activity here has dwindled over the years it's still a place I enjoy coming back to reguarly. The community is so friendly and talented and it's becoming harder and harder to have a portal for everyone to come to and share things and comment to each other... social media sites and Discord servers just aren't the same vibe.
Anyway, I thought it'd be cool to make a journal and be sentimental on here for a bit. Thanks so much for supporting me and my art over all these years. I think I'm officially a grey muzzle furry now... or maybe an ancient wyrm... yeah that sounds much cooler. I'll still be posting art here and there, so see you around!
And Happy Halloween! Go be a treat for someone :)

Such a long time. ^^
I think I'm 6 year's away from 15 year's.
Even when I pass 15 year's my name will be the same.
Also it's been a while man! Hope you've been good! GET EATEN
🍻
Was awesome to come across ya and meet since all those years ago, we definitely need to catch up again sometime, and maybe another in person visit!
Wishing you all the rest of your years a lovely time in this fandom <3
Was a considerable honor to have known you as I did!
Wasn't ever a time I wasn't happy about your company~
Time sure does fly though eh?
You should be proud of all the progress you've made and influences you've had with all of those around you.
I know for a good fact many look up to ya! Myself included!
Your impact on the fandom is a great one and does make it a worthwhile place more each day~!
Whilst activity is a valuable currency these days, it means alot when you take moments like these to talk to your community.
I look forward to seeing you continue~
Hope you've been well all these years and are still hanging in there big guy, wish you the best! I'll still stick around and draw now and again, and post slimy maws and such ^_- glad my silly doodles can be something to look up to!
I appreciate it lots, especially with how I was much more introverted than I am now. (Still introverted; but less!)
You were one of the few I can credit to opening the shell to enjoy and experience the fandom too; so thank you~
Your constant generosity was never forgotten Sprout! Trust me, I still keep those lovely pieces close and adored~
Will see about returning the favor sometime, seems only fair for how much you've done for me!
I'm always around, somewhere and abouts. Taking things day by day and just enjoying what I can. Hope you do too. ^..^
Still, I feel old now ;w;
Here's to many more years of thriving and good times!
its hard to believe that soon enough your stay on FA will be old enough to drink :p
Now I feel old. ;w;
Your old account was very likely one of the first ones I watched when I first started on here ~2011, since you were and still are amongst my biggest inspirations. So I guess I just wanted to say thanks for doing and sharing what you do here all this time! ^^p
Discovered e621 through a link sent to me via a room in Furcadia (does that game still exist?!) then progressed to FA over time. Have still never fully immersed myself in the fandom. No furry friends, etc. No furry avatar or characters.
