Introduction / Been inactive: here's why

« on: September 20, 2019, 07:50:07 am »

Oh gosh, it feels like I have become some sort of myth due to my growing inactivity online. But there's a perfectly good reason for my absence.

I have began heavily working and promoting my Pigeon rescue and rehabilitation rescue work, known as Pudge's Flock, in my town. I have gotten quite a positive influx of reactions and even featured in a few events, the local newspaper and will be on the radio sometime soon. The publicity has helped me rehabilitate over 150 birds successfully this year (by myself alone).

I am always looking for help however. For a number of things.

1. I am creating an extensive rehabilitation guide for birds of UK to be distributed to veterinary surgeries and rescue centers alike. So I am looking for individuals whom could help me with content such as illustrations and chapters. Anyone knowledgeable can be added to our Facebook page.

2. Promotion and recognition helps me gain funds to upkeep my rescues and provide necessary treatment and care to each bird specifically. So the more people know, the better my financial situation becomes, as more people = more donations. Our progress can be e viewed on our page: www.facebook.com/pudgesflock

3. I have a gofundme which is aimed at raising funds to build a sanctuary for birds in my town. It'd be the first one locally and I am chasing this dream of mine till my legs give way. So if you know anyone interested in helping raise funds please direct them to: https://www.gofundme.com/f/Helping-reclaim-lost-wings
I am also looking for a logo to be made? I have a few examples but I am looking for watercolour/derpy png style. Willing to pay!

I also volunteer (still) for a Social Action Group where I do photography and poetry to raise awareness about mental health in my local county. I haven't been online for months and I feel like before I go off and begin being super active I'd share some insight into my work and lifestyle.
Thank you for reading. I thought I'd merge both updates and requests / info into one giant post so I do apologize if this isn't allowed. Of course, please read my reviews before deciding to donate any money and please be responsible with the amounts donated - don't go too wild, aka don't risk bankruptcy.

Lovely meeting all the new members and hello, long time no see to all you peeps that know me

Have A great fantastic day, and see you all around!

Forum Suggestions & Ideas / Possibly the biggest 'Creativity' event that could take place?

« on: November 25, 2018, 11:39:04 am »

The Community Banner

Description
Every participant's personal OC art-piece (1 per person) all merged into one giant banner (with an optional blank PNG background or a digitally drawn FH map of the community's choice). This post triggered me to come up with this event which staff could potentially host - https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=65257.0

Why I think it could work?
It'd be an appealing event for many of our creative and artistic souls out there who would love to show their dedication and appreciation for the game/community; no matter what the art level each participant has managed to master, whether beginner to professional...the more variety the better - this also includes style. The more art styles included the more diversity would be shown through the end piece.

How it'd work?
You'd be presented with a simple form and some requirements you'd need to meet for your entry to be accepted. For example the requirements could be let's say...

1. Must be PNG
2. Size must be no bigger than 200px x 200px
3. 1 OC entry per person

And the simple form could be:

Username:
OC art (link or physical):
Preferred FH map as background:

The end result?
The end result would be a huge canvas (which started out blank) containing all the participant OC's to resemble this giant art piece of a 'family'. Of course each png OC drawing would need a rough idea of the size requirements so that each drawing is visible and does not override other drawings too much. I think it'd also be very interesting to see all the various art styles merged into one final piece - which could be used as a banner or some sort of advertisement for the community. I'm pretty sure the members would love to participate in something of this sort (I certainly would).

Duration of the event
Pfff, I'm dumb and don't really know how long this event could be so I'd say keep it open until the canvas is filled?

Number of users required
It really depends on the size of the canvas and the required size of the members OC's. But I'd say to aim the canvas to hold around 100 members, if it were to take place.

So...what do you guys think?

Ask Me / Ask away...

Welcome to le ask me thread.

I gathered that long-term this thread might serve as a fun fact sheet about 'Nowai', in fact I believe it'll come of use when I lose a sense of who I am. Feel free to ask about my likes and dislikes, interests, views and opinions...anything that helps you create a picture of who I am as a person. I'm sure this will be a road of discovery as much for you as it is for me.

What else can I say...I look forward to answering your questions and putting your curiosity to rest.
Peace!

Introduction / Do you know the wai?

« on: November 17, 2018, 01:22:36 pm »

*Walks in - trips over my own feet, knocks items off desk, ground begins rumbling, city starts burning, police sirens are heard in the distance*

Woah, okay, so...you may have gathered that my expertise is making a good impression. I think I nailed THAT one, don't you think? Uuh, anyway...I appear to have lost my wai. Would you mind showing me directions, or perhaps helping me look for the last 3 letters of my name? I'll see myself out...

Huh...I guess I still suck at writing Introduction threads, and my humour appears to have drastically decreased in quality, but I shall not apologise for art haha. We all are flawed, but in the perfect way. So, anyway derailing from that subject, how you all doin' pals ay?

Oh yeah...Half way through writing this ~~essay~~ introduction I realised I haven't really 'introduced' myself, which I believe is key to any introduction, heh oops. I'm Nowai. I am 19, a female, and live in the UK. I enjoy and participate in many activities such as creative writing (poetry, short stories), coding (BBCode/HTML and occasionally CSS), animal care (pigeon rescuing [halted until further notice]), digital art (mostly pixel art or photo-manipulation) and contributing to my local social action group for young women standing up to violence and abuse (mainly photography, stirring up ideas and writing poetry). I currently am in the process of starting up my own blog as well, I think it'd be a good outlet for me in the long run. Hit me up if you have any suggestions of reliable blog hosting sites.

Where you can find me:
Uuuh, currently I don't really contribute to any social media/game community in particular. I am facebook-active but I dedicate my account to -Removed by moderator.- I guess I hop onto discord regularly (Wai wai #3207), and I revisit Flight Rising from time to time (Nowai) but other than that I've been silent almost everywhere that I've once shown high levels of activity in.

Coming to the end of the introduction, this paragraph is more so a little reminder that although I may take varying lengths of time to reply (which I understand is very frustrating), I will get back to you eventually. My patchy activity stems from acquired damage to the kidneys which now manifests as a long-term kidney infection (oops?). I'm currently undergoing treatment which makes me very tired, weak and a little dazed. However, despite this difficulty that I am experiencing, I am confident in the decision I have made to invest time to settle into another online community. I just gotta take everything slow, one step at a time.

With that being said, I hope that contributing my time to re-discovering and building on lost and forgotten friendships as well as making new friends within this community will actually positively impact my recovery - but time will only show. So, here's to better days, ay?

Love you all,
No(wai).
