So this is what ultimate power feels like.
I've been a member of TFF since I was in high school. First forum I joined that wasn't me asking for debugging help. I was reading stories by Hawk, Andrew Joshua Talon, Lord Raa, random1337 and at least a dozen other members of this forum, whose writing and ideas were so obviously a cut above the rest that I knew I wanted to be a part of the place they did their thinking. My first week I was intimidated by the names and personalities I saw here. My second week someone posted something I disagreed with and off I went.
TFF has given me a lot over the years. Community. New fandoms. Reading material. Lemons. Good friends. Iron Fic was my attempt to give something back to the board when it started flagging, but Shirotsume saved it for real. I'd like to thank him for doing that, AJT for showing me the way, locke69/Kyonko for giving me a place to meet and talk with TFFers, image for being a bro IRL, the Four Corners for their passion (even if I disagree with every other thing you say), everyone who has written for Iron Fic, and everyone who writes, responds, reads and lurks on the only forum I've ever needed. You make this place special.
