It all really started when my friend and I watched the Ninjago movie. So I have Dee_Dee_Mclee to thank for that. We were at her families cottage and it had come up on the television so we watched it. I never imagined that I would become so passionate about a children's cartoon but here we are. That's what started this snowball of appreciation into a down right crazy obsession.

I was new to WattPad and had mostly been reading original works like The Cell Phone Swap before investigating How To Train Your Dragon fanfictions. At some point I had been watching Ninjago for awhile and I decided to search it up to see what there was to offer.

There was A LOT to offer.

I'm not sure what spurred me to make a fanfiction or what books I had been reading at that time but all I know was that Forgive Forget was my first. But it was Musically Me that really got me started.

I had probably abandoned it at some point for a bit but as more people began reading my stories I began to feel confidence bloom. I have had so many readers but among my first were Dee of course and bananabun I believe. As comments rolled in my fanfiction blossomed and the amazing feeling of pride in my work did too.

Sorry if this gets too sappy but I'm just being passionate about my love for this community.

After the amazing fanfictions I've read like The Butterfly Effect, The Missing Piece, Amends, and way too many more. But what I really want to talk about is the people. At first I was skeptical at reaching out to people because I was worried about scammers and cat fishers. This was my first social media account since I lived under a rock so I wasn't that experienced. But as time moved on I've come to the conclusion that we all have taken way to much effort into creating stories about little plastic yellow people to be faking it.

I think the first person I connected to was FrostyBug14  . I think she commented or something on my book but all I remember was enjoying reading her comments and I began to form a nice internet-acquaintance-bond. I'm not sure what to call the relationship I have with people online. No one personally knows me but at the same time they know about stuff many people in my personal life know about. It's an odd thing really.

I have met many very amazing writers and supporters in this community, which is why I've fallen so in love with it. We read each others books, comment way to much, and spread word about other authors and things that they get up to.

I also want to give a shout-out to WishFountain . It started with one comment but as it went on Wish has been so supportive through my writing experience and I really appreciate it.

I've had good moments with some of the Chaos Causers as well and many others like the_quiet_jade  had become a good...online friend-acquaintance or whatever we'll call each other. Maybe we can do something cultish and call ourselves brothers and sisters of Ninjago......

Actually, maybe that isn't such a good idea. I think it was some thing about season fourteen with geckles that just got me more comfortable with Jade but I'd say we're in a pretty good...whatever we have now.

There are so many users that have supported me and been amazing so I can't possibly write them all down. I also have limited stamina because this typing is jarring my injury I've recently acquired in my smallest finger.

But last but not least I have to thank Dee_Dee_Mclee , my best friend who's been so supportive and so amazing through my writing...hood or whatever. I really appreciate it.

To any knew members of the Ninjago fandom or anyone considering getting into it than I highly recommend! It's full of amazing people you can swap facts and theories with, read their books or they'll read yours, they'll make hilarious comments I love reading, and create awesome activities for us to enjoy! I may be taking this all to far and sorry if I drive anyone away but this community has actually been really good for me.

I have an amazing life. Great family, great friends, lots of support, no health or financial issues, but sometimes humanity is dramatic and makes everything seem like the end of the world. In all honesty WattPad has helped me become more comfortable and improve my writing and the Ninjago has helped me embrace who I am with people with similar mind sets. As well as expand my writing capabilities. I'm blessed with a great life and even I know life can get hard so I admire those who are able to pull through so many things. I've had bad days where I really needed a pick me up and I've gone on WattPad to see someone make a funny comment or a nice complement and it's really made my day. You never know what positive energy can do to help someone.

I feel like I've really come out of my shell and I just feel loved. I have a great life and I know others aren't as lucky so I'm happy to add a little relief just by spamming your notifs with weird reactions to your stories. If anyone needs to talk feel free to PM.

Sorry if this was cheesy, heavy, and way to much just for a fandom on a writing platform and I hope I didn't drive anyone away. But I'm a very sentimental and dramatic person so I really wanted to let everyone in the community know how much I appreciate them. Even Dee, I'm not sure if she's apart of the community or not but you get a thanks anyways.

So in closing, I'm a crazy emotional person who watches a cartoon my five-year-old friend watches and let's fanfiction writing surround my life so much that maybe I'm becoming a little too weird.

But to me I think it's downright perfect.
