What's my Elftown history?:

I initially joined Elftown because it was a branch off of Elfwood, where I used to post my art. I have been very active ever since I joined in 2003. Almost immediately, I fell in love with Elftown's community. It's a social hub of creative geeks like me! Not only that, but anyone has the freedom of making their own wikis! Elftown also introduced me into the wonderful world of text role playing. Not only am I an avid rper today, but I've also made countless rps myself. Many of which were very successful. The most recent being Run as One. I'm a head mod at X-men United, the longest running roleplay that I've ever witnessed on Elftown(approx 6 years). I keep my main rp characters on a wiki according to setting/rp type: Chel's minions Elftown has also inspired me as a growing artist. Since I joined, I've participated in official Elftown art contests and other non-official contests. I have also hosted several of my own. Through Elftown, I've met artists like myself and have done art trades with several of them. I tend to illustrate every rp character that I create, as well as other player's characters. Without my roleplays, my grasp on Photoshop and drawing might not be as well rounded as it is now. I owe a lot to Elftown. I even post recent works at my art wiki: Chel-chan's Art NEW: I got 2nd place and tied for crew fave in the Halloween contest '09!! (Halloween Art 09, Page 1)

How can I benefit being on the crew?:

I'm well aware of the Uploading Art Rules and have reported several users to the guards as well as the occasional harassing member or two. I'm a very frequent member on Elftown. I log on twice daily unless I find myself unable to get to a computer(which is rare). When I cannot log on within 24 hours...I go through serious ET withdrawals. Thus- you can count on me to always be reliable and prompt! Ask anyone on my friends list- I spend more time logged on then not and that includes sleep, work and school. Since I've been a member for 6 years, I've seen how this website has morphed. I hope to assist in every way I can in future transformations. Because of my commitment to Elftown, I really want to be more productive to the site itself, making it better as a whole. I truly want to help make Elftown all it can be!

What are my goals for Elftown?:

I am really interested in the Elftown Art Competitions. If given the opportunity, I would love to ensure that all of the rules were followed and assist in the competition ideas and construction. I'm aware of proper HTML formatting and have created countless art competitions in the past. I've also been active in submitting my own work for the official Elftown contests. I would also love to have the opportunity to compose paragraphs for the selected, Featured Art as an Image Boss. I realize this is a title I would have to work for, but I'm ready for whatever is thrown to me. I have been trained in high school and especially art college to have an eye for things and to professionally critique art...the good and the not so good.

Why the arts?:

Next year I complete my Bachelor's degree in Art, majoring in Illustration and minoring in Communication Design. I feel that Elftown can look better then how it does now. I have been working on design proposals for this site and hope they are taken into consideration if Elftown wants to be a more "modernized" form of web design.

Conclusion:

I really hope you present me with the exciting opportunity to be a crew member. I can't wait to give back to Elftown! I'm looking forward to helping improve the website that improved me. :3

Chel's Supporters:

~1.) I support Chel! She is a great person, always on like she says and is truly trying to make this site better, which I believe is something to be recognized. ~ [Aeolynn]

~2.) I fully endorse this wiki. Chel is a fun and awesome person and helps out when she can in th RPs that I am in with her. That and she is a very talented artist and has lots of potential in making ET look amazing. [Lord Josmar]

~3.) In Chel we trust, and all that, she has dealt with co-ruling several RPs and doesn't fret when she feels she must put the boot down at something. As well as being an awesome artist she has shown determination and finese in her roleplays on here. She doesn't back down from a challenge.
[Evolution X]

~4.) For the short time I have known her on here, Chell has been kind and encouraging, firm when the situation calls for it, but never mean as far as I have seen. She's a great artist and roleplayer and a wonderful member of this community.
[~Valkyrie~]

~5.) It would definitely be nice to have someone I already know and trust in the crew. Having roleplayed with her since almost the start, I know she's a smart girl with common sense and a helpful nature.
[Madame Black]

~6.) As a regular contest participant and enthusiast, and long term dedicated Elftown member, I believe Chel would make a great addition to any graphically and creatively oriented Official Tasks.
Primarily I can really see her being fantastic as an Official Contest Moderator, and also a committed and hard-working Featured Image Boss, working with great cheerfulness and dispatch!
Over several years Chel has been included in many projects and contests of mine, and many others around elftown, she has been a mature but lighthearted addition to all, and I would love to have her working on the council on various art projects, and would even recommend her to the position of a image-theft-hunting Guard :)
In fact, I'm surprised she hasn't already moved into the circles of the Official Contest Moderators!
[Kaimee]


~7.) I've been on Elftown for quite a few years, and personally, I would love to see Miss [Chel.] on the crew. For one, she doesn't deal with people's bull. Another reason is that she is active on Elftown. I know that if you add her onto the crew, you won't be making a mistake.
[XxTsomexX]

~8.) [Chel.] is a really awesome person and she is kind and sweet, and she's an amazing artist and could make great art for elftown, she's always online too, so that's why I support her for crew.
[~Crimson Angel~]

~9.) Because because because because BECAAAAUSE! Because of the wonderful things she does! Doodladoodladoo! I can't believe I just did that. I'm embarrassed now. No, the really important thing about [Chel.] here is that she cares. She actually, honestly cares about this place. She's not running for crew for badges, for the status. She truthfully wants to help out and she's more than capable of doing so. She's got a butt load of talent, she's got the time, and she's got the drive. Passing over her would be a mistake. And a'thank you very much.
[NOOOPE]

~10.) I met Chel shortly after arriving on ET in '03, the same year as she did. She has always had a high standard of creativity, art and detailed role playing, even in those early days when our group was first finding it's feet. I began cutting my teeth as a mod for X-Men United and found that I could always rely on Chel for advice, new ideas and to keep things running smoothly in my absence. I feel comfortable in saying that she is one of my closest friends and if not for her my relationship and recent marriage to fellow Elftowner [shadow of darkness] may never have come about. She's always been the glue that held our little rag tag role playing group together and I believe she would be an awesome addition to the Elftown Crew.
Thanks for the consideration: [Ravenclaw]

~11.) I feel bad for being so low on the list...guess I'm rather late to the party. But anway, Chel has been a solid friend since I became a member of Elftown way back when. We're in multiple RPGs together and she helps Mod in most of them. She follows the rules and certainly helps us to enforce them whenever the need arises. I'm not too well versed in praising people as I do not get the chance to do so often, so I apologize if this doesn't read well. I think Chel would make an excellent addition to the Crew simply because of how great a friend and fellow Elftowner she is. Hopefully this message helps her attain her goal. Thank you: [shadow of darkness]

~12.) Chel would be awesome as crew. I would have been at the top of this list if I was as committed as Chel is to ET. It has been a treat to watch her skills as an artist grow and blossom over the years. Thanks! [PhoenixSilverDark]

~13.) Honestly without Chel I can't imagine half the rp's I've ever been in going anywhere. She's the one motivating everyone to post and making sure it doesn't die prematurely. She's a fantastic artist and a great person, and Elftown would definitely benefit from her talents as Crew! [Pnelma Tirian]
