User blog:Lotta potato salad/A Whole Ferbtastic Year

About one year and a few months ago I googled Phineas and Ferb wiki. My dad had watched Phineas and Ferb on Netflix and showed it to us, and I had to decided to do a little more research. I found the wiki, and looked around for a month or two, without joining  After a while I saw some ponies talking about a Phineas and Ferb Fanon. I checked it out, and I found two things:

Two OCs I loved (Emily Kinney and Jessica Fletcher) and a user. Her username was FossilsDaDaDa. I stalked her a bit, reading all her stories and posts. Then I has this inexplicable urge to be there with her, writing Fanfiction and making characters.

So I joined, even though I was (slightly) underage. I made my username Lotta Potato Salad, one of my favorite quotes. The very first thing I did was join the chat because I saw Fossy on it. Finally, a chance to talk to her!

Now, I'm not sure if Fossy or anypony else remembers this, but I always will. I posted on the chat: "Fossy! I am your biggest fan!"

Then somepony (not sure who) said, "Wow, Fossy, you're famous!" And she replied saying that she had no idea she had fans. Then I left.

The second thing I did was make a character, which got deleted the day after. Oh well. She was a Mary sue and the image was edited.

Then I made Gretchen Bennett and all those weird characters that went with her. I wrote a few stories, (The Chat, Gretchen's Opinion, The Choice) and made a few friends. I especially remember Ange, who seems to have left. (Dx)

A while after, I joined a contest of Fossy's. You had to write an epilogue for one of my favorite stories of her's. I wrote it in a half hour and submitted it, knowing I wouldn't have a chance with everypony else submitting.

Wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Two weeks later I received a message on my talk page. From Fossy. "I don't know if you got the news, but...you won!"

I had never in my life won a contest with my writing. I has never received praise for my writing outside of my family.

What I'm trying to say is, Fossy? You inspired me to write. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Anywho, six months after I joined I was doodling on a paper and drew a purple platypus in a labcoat. I dubbed her, yes, you guessed it, Iantha. I wrote a story about her as well.

What a great year it's been. You guys have been awesome friends, especially you, Fossy.

All of you, every user here, is awesome. Don't forget it. You made this year awesome for me, and I'll never forget you!

Now I need to get around to finishing those fanfics...:-/
