Shadow sat on the balcony outside her room, the wind blew through the young 9 year old's, soft, brown hair. She sighed deeply, playing with a few strands of her silk like hair, her eyes scanned the ground under her, if she would fall from up here, she wouldn't want to think of the horrible possibilities of it. She shivered, not so much in coldness then of fear. She scooted back, a few feet's away from the ledge an any horrible tragedy. She curled up against the wall, pressing her legs against her chest, leaning her head on her knees, she let out a small whimper, she felt so alone. Her parents were almost never home and her sister was at a party, Shadow was to young to go along with her sister. She was completely alone in a huge castle, there were guards and servants but either way, she didn't feel safe, she felt cold, alone, unwanted, unneeded. She stood up and shuffled towards her bed, Jumping up on the bed and she snatched her teddy bear. She snuggled it against her chest, nuzzling the little, worn out bear. She leaned back, laying her head on the bag of down, she sighed and covered herself with her sheet. She closed her eyes "Teddeh...You're my only friend who's always there...I love you" and with that, she drifted off, to a world of color and happiness, where she's never alone. Where she was what she wanted to be, not a princess, but a normal person, someone who lives a normal life. Not Penelope Paige Raymon but the real, Shadowfury Katrina...

There's just a quick question I want to ask.
I sent a PM to Noleah about becoming an underage adoptee, including asking to be in Rarities & List Pets {Just putting this here because of the test required with these} and it went out of my outbox but I never got a reply - does this mean that I was just unsuitable or that Noleah might have missed it? Should I resend the form?
Thank you for any replies! <3


Whops missed this. Ahhh I'm not seeing the message in my inbox, I was especially busy over October and none-to-active at the beginning of November, if it was sent during that time I'm afraid I might have missed up by mistake u.u Please feel free to re-send to be or another mini-mod. Its always ok to resend forms to us if we don't reply within a week as most likely it got lost or buried. Sorry to keep you waiting!

Thank you for your help - am resending to AquilaFuga as they are online <3

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I think it is time I start taking a big responsibility, and I feel maybe I should help others. I'd like to share my CS knowledge!

Role-playing sample: I don't know… I guess I'll role-play a wolf in the forest?

Gemma lifted her muzzle to the pale grey sky, her shaggy dark fur swinging in knots. It was only days ago that her mother ran away from the place Gemma once called home. She remembered the whole thing. And now? She didn't want anything to do with the world. She just wanted to be careless, like the birds in the swaying trees.

With a raised head, Gemma parted her mouth and howled in sorrow and defeat, the voice like a loon. Haunting and filled with grief. Her breath clouded in front of her muzzle like a cloud in the frost weather, and yet unlike the lingering white cloud of condensation, her voice drifted over the mountains, free as a passed spirit.


Accepted. ^^

(I was Josie; when I previously adopted a newbie)

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I have adopted a newbie before and it was a great experience that helped me organize my knowledge while answering their questions. Teaching is something I love and I'm good at explaining things in different ways if someone does not understand the first time. I also have my answers that I've given my previous newbie saved so I could use them again if another newbie has similar questions, which would expedite them getting answers.

How often do you get on CS?: Almost everyday

Which categories would you like to apply for?: General Knowledge, Forums, BBCode, Roleplaying, Trading and Pets, Rares List (Advent).
(I passed the Advent list Rares List test the last time I adopted a newbie, but I understand if I have to take it again.)

How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: A few hours [depends on if I have work].

Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course!

Roleplaying example: It's kind of long so I linked to the post.
(this is the same one I was accepted for last time)


Accepted - welcome back. :3

What areas do you want explained?: Well... pretty much all of it, I joined just a few days ago.
Do you speak another language, and if so which one?: Swedish, French. Swedish is my primary, English my secondary. But it looks as if I speak well this far, I think I'm good.
How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: A few of my friends talked about it. Then I found an add.
What do you like best so far?: The layout.
Any questions?: Not yet ^_^

What areas do you want explained?: General, trading, and rarities/items
Do you speak another language, and if so which one?: Just English
How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: Kept seeing CS in passing. Eventually learned it meant Chicken Smoothie, thought to myself boy that sounds weird. A few months later I eventually looked into it.
What do you like best so far?: The ability to hoard all the things. Unlimited Space.
Any questions?: A few, but I'll save that for my adopter.

What areas do you want explained?: ummmm....*thinks* hmmm...I'll get back to you on that. Rarities of pets/items
Do you speak another language, and if so which one?: nah.
How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: a friend at school told me about it :33
What do you like best so far?: all the cool pet designs! There are so many!!
Any questions?: not really.


Welcome Whiskers1231000 - Your adopter will be Rainbows Rule
Welcome Arisilde - Your adopter will be jhey0aira re-assigned to . : Cry : . due to internet restraints.
Welcome timeausTricksterfied - Your adopter will be CaptainSparklez

They will all be notified of your adoption, and will hopefully be able to answer all your questions.

If they don't contact you within around a week, or if you're having other problems such as they're being rude to you, you don't understand their explanations, or anything like that, you can PM one of our thread mods, and we will assign you to a new adopter as soon as we can. :3

Our mods are;
>> noleah, Fat Unicorn, Panne, Porcelaine and myself.

In the meantime, I would suggest that you take a little look at the Newbie Guide & Index, if you haven't already. It has some great tips, and could help you while you wait for your adopter.

Note for next list update:
    I had some old rarities applicants for whom I forgot to edit my post and say they passed. They are:
    Sorry for being so un-organised lately xD

Thank you <3

So, I am a super n00b at this. I don't even know how to send a message on here, let alone send a message with a trade. And trying to trade for older pets seems nearly impossible at this point. I would LOVE to be adopted!

Okay, so if you want to be adopted, there's a form for you to fill out on the front page. :3 Once you've filled it out, please post it here and we can find somebody to adopt you.

But in the meantime, I'll quickly teach you how to do those things you're talking about so you're not confused while you're waiting for an adopter. ^^

You can send a message by going to new messages (it's up the too by your 'Balance' and 'My Posts'), and once you're on the page, there should be a box near the top of the page that says NEWPM *. Click on it, and a new message box will pop up. Fill in the username of the person you want to PM in the very first box, type in a title for your PM in the Subject box, and then write your message in the last box. After you're happy with your PM, click the Submit button at the bottom.

You can also PM users by clicking on their username or Avatar. This will take you to their profile page. There's a section called 'CONTACT _______'. In that section, will be 'PM: Send private message'.

And now, since you've made your first post, you can send messages in your trades! ^_^
