// awww, thank you kindly for sending in this message!! sorry it took awhile to respond to this too -- but we appreciate these words all the same :D
I’m happy that you enjoyed the events that we’ve hosted here, and definitely, we couldn’t thank everyone enough in return for making them fun too. It’s great to see what participants created and offered in regards to all those antics on the dash, so you certainly deserve as much credit here. Providing an outlet for others to express themselves freely and their muses really is the goal we had for the FERPC in general.
In any case, I’m also glad to hear that you’re running your own events too! Coming from personal experience, it really is a lot to take in, so do give yourself a pat on the back. And no worries -- things can be hit and miss, so it’s pretty much something to learn from for the future. We’ll see how things go, but anyway, thank you so much again and hope all is well!

Honestly, it warms my heart to see messages like this, and I’m glad to know all our efforts don’t go to waste. So long as you enjoyed the events and had good interactions out of them, it’s all worth it. Heck, maybe you even made new friends out of them! I hope you did! That’s the reason we’ve done them after all.
Even if it’s not in the same fandom, do keep us posted on your event plans and how that goes along. I know that at least I would like to see what comes of it. Just make sure you have a team of motivated people you can trust! That sort of stuff is key to making an event succeed. You’ll figure everything out, even if you stumble a little along the way. Trust me, we’ve done that plenty ourselves.
As for this summer, all of us are rather busy and a bit low-energy, especially considering current circumstances. We’re talking over the idea of doing something small that won’t require insane amounts of commitment from everyone, and that includes the FE community s a whole. We’re not the only ones who are busy and a bit burnt out by current events, we know, and it’s not as likely people will have the time or focus for something huge. Maybe just some nice settings and sentence starters as something for people to start up interactions with, but nothing too crazy. We’ll let you all know more as we figure it out.
Just make sure you take care of yourself most of all, and don’t overdo it. It’s about fun for everyone. Make it enjoyable for all, even yourself, and thank you again for your sweet words! It legitimately makes me smile when I look at them!
