    I was on serebiiforums doing bankball collecting. One day I got a message from a recently banned user to come and join. I followed the message in hopes of expanding my collection and instead found the wonderful community we have here. I doubt I ever would have found this place had it not been for that mysterious message.

    I found it through fanfiction. Someone named "alolanfriend" PM'd me about it, and I figured I might as well try it. I have no idea who they are on here, though.

    I came upon this site via an affiliate link on a now-defunct Pokémon forum (Ever Grande City) that some other members of this place's userbase came from.

    Somebody commented on my pokémon story on fanfiction.net and suggested that I give Lake Valor a try. I must say, I'm really enjoying myself here.

    I was relatively close to Scrafty back when she was an admin here, so I heard the name mentioned a lot. However, it took me a while to join or even get remotely active (Vig reminded me of this place's existence earlier this year).

    One of the mods messaged me back when I was active on DA 5 years ago. I'm glad I got introduced to such a community. This is one of the few forms I'm still somewhat active on.

    I was messaged by someone who had seen my fics on Fanfiction.net. Ironically, I've hardly posted any fanfics on this site since I joined... ^^'

    I met a masked Achromatic on Omegle back in 2014. He was streaming. I skipped him after a few minutes, then someone who was watching the stream found me and linked the stream to me. And the rest is history.

    When the Azurilland forums were shifting to a new website called Marriland, there was a shift from the glitchy “curse” forum software to “XenForo.” I asked Thundawave, an admin (and a former member of this website) if this new software worked on mobile. She said yes and mentioned Lake Valor as an example. I was immediately impressed by how friendly and tight-knit this community is. So impressed in fact, I joined an hour later.

    So my friend on Wattpad told me about LV and I joined that morning. I just made the account and didn’t do anything with it. It wasn’t until mid September of last year that I got a PM on Wattpad from zformtapu saying to join LV, to which I responded that I already had an account. So my friend was why I joined and zformtapu was why I came back.

    Odd... I also joined because of the same user "zformtapu". They said they'd prefer to keep their identity on LV secret, so I'll respect that, but I'm really curious as to who that is...

    I also got here through a ff pm, but not zformtapu. It was actually a different user named alolanfriend!

    I could have sworn I already posted in a thread like this. I came here from a PM by alolanfriend in fanfiction. I originally only saw the site as an avenue to promote my fanfiction since fanfic is over-saturated and hard to get recognition. I'm not the guy to do social media at all and I'm a rather inward person not wanting to talk about things (hence my few posts despite my age and activity) so at first, all I did was post my fanfiction. Over time I got invested in talking with other writers in the creative commons and really connected with sharing my ideas in the forum. I only expanded my horizons from there.

    I got here from my older brother Ryex (Not his real name) a long time ago. If you remember 2/24/2020 I made a long ass post about this stuff.

    I was also invited by zformtapu~ But at first I didn't bother checking it out; I ignored it and went my merry way... Then after a while I got bored and said, 'why not~?' So here I am~

    As for myself, there was this fanfict on Instagram titled "White as Bone" (iirc). I followed it for quite some time before the author gave a link to the fanfict here in LV for his (or their? I forgot, really :sweat:) followers. That was the first time I came to know LV, though I left after a long time of no updates on White as Bone.

    As for why I came back, it's actually thanks to Neb talking about him becoming a mod here in a Discord server. So curiosity kicked in, then got the best of me, and here I am.
