(Note: Moderators...I have no idea where this sort of thing would go x.x If it's in the wrong place,, I'm so sorry x.x)

One time, a few years ago, I was a newbie to Furcadia. I was struggling to find people to rp with and was wondering at the time if Furcadia was for me. Then one day when I logged on, I found that someone had bought me a whole year's worth of bat wings. Seriously, that made my day. I didn't know the person who bought me the wings. They were a complete stranger. I'd never rped with them, never spoke to them...yet they gifted me, someone they didn't even know, with a digo.

Gifts and giving gifts are a wonderful part of Furcadia. Such things can just make your day seem all the more brighter. No matter how small, no matter how big, it's the thought that counts.

I want this theme of giving to bloom, and so I'm making this post.

Basically, Givers give whatever they want to give, and the person who replies first will receive the gift. In turn, the Receiver must give something to the next person that replies, hopefully forming a neverending chain of giving and receiving.

The gifts can be anything you want to give, digos, scales, hugs, art, roleplay, cookies, etc, so -everyone- can participate. This isn't just about giving digos or anything like that. It's about the Art of Giving. Even if it's just a hug, or a cuddle or something, whisper the person who replies, give them that hug! Maybe you'll make a new friend, or at least make that person's day, and this is what it's all about.

For the sake of easy-to-understandings, this would be how it goes:



So, to start this thread off, and hope that fellow Givers come in to make another person's day brighter, I'm giving 1 GD to the next person that responds. I admit, it's totally not much. But it's something. Maybe could help you get something nice.

Remember! If you receive something, you need to give something also!

Hey this is kinda cool. They have something like this on Gaia. I have a dream I made I never use. Its only the basic patches Furc gives a person but I could give that to the next person it would make a good little home for a furry that has none. ^_^

-edit- Feel free to poke me online or my alt Cherry Hirobu if your next ^_^

Edit #2 Sent and I think they are making my little dream free on RH for everyone -blushes- Feel free to do whatever you want with it =o

I don't want this thread to go ignored, so I'll give 1 GDS to the next person (:

Aw, a fun thread! I'll give the next person a free drawing of their character and a free portrait!

EDIT: Will start on art now

Free dream I don't use anymore to the next poster.

I dont have anything so ill give 3 cookies.

6 Silver dragon scales to the next person

A Muffin and Cookie! To the next person!

Edit* Sweet treats given to Seley

NOTE: Try not to be a hog with the presents! While it would be nice to claim all the digos and scales, you have to be considerate to others. This need not apply if you're offering something of equal or greater value! (:

This post won't count toward Chii's muffin and cookie.

Hmmm, a snug, I say! A cuddly snug to the next poster!

I'm so happy to see this thread take off ^.^ It really is nice to give out giftys to people, no matter what it is. <3 Thanks everyone for contributing with my idea. It makes me happy to see all this gift-giving underway! ^^



Anyways, I'll take that cuddly snug and give 7 SD and 5 CD (.75) to the next poster ^^

Ooo scaleez Don't mind if I do!





And in return to all of those I have a few things i'm willing to offer:



Custom patch work, custom ds for you dream to spruce it up, or some art of your char possibly a port made for you You choose next person!

EDIT: I'll give something to both Przewalski and Starlit Moon I'm just that nice ^_^

Oh. This is really nice. :> But I have nothing to give. :<

4 cookies to the next person

I would really like the batwings. Im poor though I can not give much I will give a golden dragon scale a silver dragon scale and a hug to the next poster

Yay! I would like a chinchila (for life?)



Ummm ill give a port (pic) and a cookie umm well i could give a dream but idk now only if you have msn i guess i can give you a dream. =)

I'd love a portrait Thanks!!

How about your choice of a year Ferian for the next poster?
Hopefully it'll be someone without any digos

Ohh, I love ferians!

EDIT : Ooops, I just saw you said hopefully someone without any digos! D:

Well, I'll give 5 cookies to the next person anyway

Oh, wow, I'd love a ferian! Foxen, yes?

I'll give a white rose and two GS to the next poster~

Oh I love white roses!

I am planning on purchasing the Chinchilla for Life World Domination Starter Kit... so I will give the 10 cream pies that come with it to the next poster, plus the title of Minister of Chaos and Disorderly Conduct in the new evil empire I shall establish!

(note that the cream pies will not be delivered until I actually purchase the package, on or before the 19th of August)

EDIT: Boy that was fast, Treeki. o.o

Congratulations, Treeki, you shall be my Minister of Chaos and Disorderly Conduct, armed with cream pies ripe for throwing and mayhem! *evil laugh*

(I'm selling off other parts of the package as well. Click for details!)

8 free cookies and 16CD to the next poster. Yeah, I'm cheap. Whisper me on Furcadia for them, if you've replied after me~

Oh, I like cookies!

Since I have been looking for a nice way to give it to someone, and since my previous idea did not work at all... A kiwi for life to the next poster.

Ooh?

I don't really have much actually to give away here, but I'll offer a portspace and 5GD to the next poster.

...poor form to post twice in a short time, I realize. Trying to nickel-and-dime up some dragonscales though, and since I have more gifts to offer, figure it shouldn't be too big a deal?

Next poster gets a portrait space (guaranteed empty!) and a cuddly snug. :3

(No posting for me for the rest of the day at least!)

I take lothus's offer? Or did seley get it already? xD I'm in a dire need of some gd to boost my unicorn funds once the one i have expires... I love unicorns!

To be not so much of a offer hog, i won't apply to seley's offer.

EDIT: If someone needs me, i'm virus queen in furc...

I'll give the next person Wolven!
Extra: Ferian Wolven, expires on 2009-03-17/18:36:02/Tue

PS- Remember, try not to be a hog! (;

Weeee.

I have a dream that I no longer use. A Inn and Bath. I shall give to the next person.

(This post doesn't count towards gifting...it's more a "what the hey?" post)

Wait a minute, wait a minute... someone already claimed mine. I swear they did. Starlit Moon posted and I've already given the portrait space and snug to her -- did her post get deleted? o.o

I don't know what happened, but I'm sorry, the port space and snug have already been gifted!

(Another none-counting post)
I never saw one But no worries, Omashu will still get the wolven and the chain will continue (; I can always try again at a later time

Huh? Huh? 3 cookies 7 midi sounds for you're dream 4 PCX files for you're skin 2 Locals i guess thats it! ..... I will accept Runetta Reborn's offer


........Free dream if you want o.o

(Yet another non-counting post)

Okay, things were sorted out here thanks to the ever-informative and lovely Emerald Flame clearing things up for me :3

To boot, I CAN actually make good on my last post, and Runetta (since virus queen seems to have passed on my offer) - I shall get the portrait space and snug to you at some point tomorrow!

(I'm afraid it's too late for me to log on now, soon-to-be evil Chinchilla overlords need their rest...)

Ocrina, Omashu got my wolven I'll have you half a dozen cookies though!
I'll give another half dozen to the next poster too! Just swing by Naia to get them (:

I will take them Runetta.

Free DS-making(of anything. I'm not really keen on Phoenix speak, but I'll do anything else) and/or patch to the next poster.

EDIT: Working on Tillulu's seating patch now.

Oooo I would love to see some of your patches xD

I'll give 8 cookies to the next person... sorry I don't have much to give until I can't get some more money for new digos x.x

Hmm...I like cookies. I'll give a free "skeleton" dream (plain dream, with rooms and DS, just needs patches) to the next person.






Edit: Boo will recieve the dream. x)

I've got enough already, so I DO NOT take the previous offer... instead, I add to it!

The next poster will get The offer in the post above, PLUS a 1-month Flox avatar!

(I was selling off parts of the chinchilla for-life package. Xxysthstris kindly paid for a few goodies with the requirement that instead of giving them to him, I offer them up here as a gift!)

EDIT:

Chyna Rose shall be gifted with a 1-month Flox.

2 cookies, 2 pillows, and a muffin


I've got tons of dreams, so pass it to the next person

One piece of artwork, nothing TOO fancy.

Edit: Tillulu send me a message of what you want drawn for you .
