Hello fellow Elftowners! Say "hello" to our latest featured member, [
Nekko fox]!
So where did the "fox" bit come in?
Long story behind that one. Long ago I was dating a girl who said that those Japanese characters with the cat ears and tails were called 'nekos', though she never clarified the spelling. Well, about that time I was joining Elftown and I though to myself, "Hm, if I say Nekko, and add Fox, peopel will assume the persona I am creating is a humanoid with a fox tail and ears". It was not until I'd been on the site for over a year that someone pointed out that "Nekko" was a misspelling of "Neko", and neko in Japanese means Cat. Well, foxes are my favorite animal, so I kept that part in my name, but I changed it to say "neko". DOZENS of personal messages came pouring into my message box demanding to know why on earth I would alter my name from Nekko to Neko. So...I changed it back, and I couldn't have Nekko withou Fox... And so I have been 'Nekko Fox' for a while now.
A rather verbose wall of text, yes?
What do you like to do on Elftown?
Mostly, I write my stories, exchange fond words with friends, and generally make a nuisance of myself to others on wikis and through private messages.
Do you have any favourite members here?
[
Ashoka Virlym] who helped me explore who I was, and [
Mortified Penguin] because he is the most wonderful lunatic around. There are others, but the list would be too great to accommodate.
What's your favourite thing about the site?
Well, I've been on ET for a great long while. Not as long as some, but a while. I would say the diverse collection of misfits, dilettantes, and eccentrics make this place so intriguing, as well as being a good place to post creative works, both in the form of pictures and in the means of written prose. Couple that with the fact that you get places like
Bob's Diner and it's never a dull moment.
Now's your chance! What's your message to all your fellow Et-ers?
There is nothing wrong with you, there is nothing wrong with your creativity, don't always follow the will of your parents and be sure to question everything. People have a bad self-image and, hokey though it may sound, being yourself is all you need. You don't need to be a size 1 supermodel or super buff hunk of meat for people to find you attractive, you don't need to recreate the Mona Lisa to be talented, you don't need to go to college, have a family, or a well paying job to be happy, and you don't need to swallow governmental propaganda to be a good citizen.
Be true to yourself and life has a way of making it all work out.
