THANK YOU FOR 1,000!! I am AMAZED at the support!

UPDATE:

Just wanted to let you all know I'm still around, I just haven't had time to sit down and write a bot yet. Don't worry, that will be rectified soon-ish! Things will be winding down for me within a week or two 💖

When I first started creating bots, I didn't even know if this would go beyond the very first bot. I had no idea what I was doing, where to even begin, and I certainly didn't expect to get 10 followers, let alone a thousand. My bots don't always get the chats I'd like, but one thing I have always done, is made bots I personally would find fun and interesting to chat with.

And it seems that a lot of you have similar taste! I am extremely grateful that so many of you have given me a follow, and I really thank you for that support. The chats, the interactions and comments, they all keep me motivated to keep making new characters and scenarios!

Now, per my recent announcement, I am just incredibly busy this month, my work schedule is a hot mess, and I have so much going on right now that I can't really sit and focus on a bot like I usually can. This will ease up probably sometime next month.

I am unsure what I am going to do for my 1,000 follower bot; I have some ideas, and I have what I likely will do, but it's not yet set in stone. I will try to get it out before month's end, so please bear with me and continue to be patient. I will do a big 1k celebration bot, it will just take a bit of time to get out there.

Of course there's a lot of folks who have inspired me, or folks I consider friends that I chat with semi-daily on discord. The following are either people I consider friends here, or who have inspired me as a creator--and in many cases both.

Fantom4t5, the OG Star Wars creator as far as I am concerned. His attention to lore, but willingness to bend when it suits the story has always helped his bots be top notch. In the beginning, he helped me a LOT, giving me ideas, helping me with images, and giving me tips for things like my descriptions. I genuinely do not believe I'd have had even a modicum of success of not for Fantom-so thank you for that, and for being a friend 💖

TheSenate is one of my first followers, if not my first. I really appreciate our conversations both in comments and on discord. She has also helped me with many a bot idea and helped me settle on an image or two. I remember when she was on the fence about bot making and then decided to give it a go, and now look at her--she has grown as a creator. Thanks Senny, chatting with you always brings a smile. 😄

Darno has some of the most unique bots both within fandoms and outside of them. Did you all know he has done a Polish historical bot? It was really fun too! He also has had some great insights into Star Wars, and between Darno and Fantom, I feel like they have kept me more or less, canon adjacent with my bots! Thanks for the fun chats and being somewhat of a lore consultant too 😂

ScreamingWolf is a creator I have not chatted with much, but his bots are so well put together, organized, and they are very unique too. His bot series can often come off like a TV series, the way they are interconnected, and his bots are certainly going to inspire the way I put my fantasy series together when I finish them! 💕

Cain_The_Main, our lovely Eldritch overlord! She has a great sense of humor, and if you beat her to a first comment, you're playing with a force you cannot comprehend 👀Always great to bring a smile or a laugh in the comments, and she's helped edit a few of my images. Thanks Yolie, you're super-awesome (and I'm not just saying that because you're an Eldritch Entity) 😏

Dead Data: Another person who's been really supportive, and has also been one of those to help sort of keep me in line with Star Wars lore. Always ready with a supportive comment, sharing a character chat, and sometimes providing some ideas too! Dead Data also creates some fantastic bots, deserves far more followers than he has. Thanks Dead Data! 🤗

darkvioletsxox is the first Walking Dead creator I ever followed, and a huge inspiration for my Walking Dead bots. Her and Fantom are the two creators that really inspired me to get out and write my own bots, tbh. While I haven't really spoken with her a lot, the interactions we've had have always been really nice, she is a total sweetheart, and her bots are always very detailed. Her canonical bots really stick to the personalities well, but my personal favorites are her OCs like Riley. Awesome creator, and DarkViolets, thanks for giving me some advice early on--let me tell you, she left me a HUGE breakdown of one of my Walking Dead bots and where I could improve with sticking to canon and whatnot. It is much appreciated! 💖

Last but not least, Magvar25. He has always been there to drop an opinion or help me flesh out an idea, or just to listen if I need to vent about something. Very supportive, and somehow puts up with my Star Wars tangents. 😂He is also a very underrated creator, and has some really good content! Thanks Magvar, you've been a good friend 💖

Alright, this post has probably gone on long enough at this point. I did give the announcement a personality, so if you want to mess about for a bit, by all means. Thanks again folks, I appreciate the support, I'll try my best to get a 1,000 bot special out relatively soon-ish. As always take care--and I'll see you all in the next one!

PS: I took a screenshot of 1k, because I know a few of you are going to troll and unsub for a bit 👀
