Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Does know one acknowledge me anymore? !_! I guessed your name was Carey! Isn't that close to Cara? Come one! I should get the BIGGEST cookie!
I will hereby announce on this here guestbook that I have never played Halo. Ever. I haven't even touched an X-Box 360.
But I do have Call of Duty 5 for Wii, and once my Wii is set up downstairs where the computer is, I'll be able to play online.

I've written stories, but never a fanfic before.
"As I stood on Mossdeep beach, gritty sand wallowed between my toes, the sand changing shape just because of my single step. I ran further, squinting from the blaring sun and all the while trying not to slip in the wet sand.
Standing at the oceans edge, emerald waves glistening with sunlight lapped around my ankles. Turning around, I saw what a major difference my simple run had done to the surface of the previously smooth shore.
Just one footstep created a cracked, jagged line that went on for meters, disrupting the serene, smooth shape of the shore. Hundreds of footsteps, however, changed the shore's beautiful look completely. Now it was rough, with evidence to what had happened to it.
A deep call bellowed from the ocean, making me quickly turn around to see the creature that caused it. Now the water seemed to mold itself, rising into a large, blaring hump. The sunlight reflected off of it, and I strained to see it. Slowly it grew larger, until an enormous shape erupted from it. Larger than any creature I had ever seen, I realized what it was as it jumped out of the water into the air.
The humongous creature was a Wailord, rarely seen around people, let alone whole cities. Once again it let out that deep, proud voice, making the gritty, loose sand on top of the beach vibrate. It wasn't a painful voice though, just proud. Leaping from the water once more, foamy white water erupted from it's spout, spraying the entire beach. The Wailord then quickly dived underneath the mass amount of water, and disappeared.
I stared out at the water in disbelief- Something so large could be swallowed up by something as harmless as water? The ocean, however, started to seem to rise higher and higher, eventually created something that resembled a thick wall. I stood in shock and curiosity, all the while the wall moving closer. It stood about five times taller than me, and cast a large shadow over the beach. I then ran, slipping over the gritty beach shore, and breaking up it's very face. But I ran to late, and the wet, overpowering wall crashed upon me.
It was like being hit with just brute force at first, but I happened to stay conscious. The water was salty and cold, and mostly dark. Going to take a breath, I panicked as salty water slithered down my throat, causing me to gag. I was terrified.
Almost ready to give up, I saw a sparkling light in the distance. With all of my remaining energy, I groped for the light, tired but desperate. After a small while the light got closer, and closer, and closer, until I could put my head through it.
Gasping for air, I looked around me. The water was starting to go back out to sea, but luckily I dug my hands and feet into the sand so I wouldn't be washed away. he sun was blaring, and I crawled farther away from the water, only stopping to vomit in the sand. Salt was in my throat, burning it, and my head was throbbing with pain. But I could breath. And that was all that mattered at that point.
I turned around once to take another look at the Mossdeep beach. It was so longer hot and gritty, but cold and mucky, and a smell pervaded from it. My last look at it showed me that it was smooth; my footsteps were gone."
Awful. Awful, awful, awful. I just thought of it now, because spammy was a Wailord.

BTW, have you seen MLP FIM? And what's your opinion on it?
With the actress who played Silvía Nótt, is she still famous over there. And could she have improved Iceland's Eurovision chances that year by putting a disclaimer saying it's a satire character?
And do you prefer when iceland send their songs in English or Icelandic?
Affiliation is for fansites, made with love by individual fans for fans. It is not for advertising commercial ventures, which I do not do (see my several FAQ entries on advertising), least of all commercial ventures involving selling AI-generated replicas of other people's art, which is scummy as hell.
Hi, I'm Leah from the Tripo AI team. We've been following and love the energy of your Pokémon community. We recently launched JujuBit, an AI-powered tool that lets fans turn their favorite Pokémon cards or fan art into physical, 3D-printed collectibles—think mini-figures, fridge magnets, and custom display pieces. Essentially, we're helping trainers bring their digital collection into the real world. We'd love to explore a collaboration with you. If you’re open to collaborating, we can also provide compensation for promotional posts or community activities. Would this be something you’d be interested in?
We’d be happy to discuss further collaboration details with you.
I will be voting yes. I'm generally in favor of more international cooperation, but it seems particularly pertinent now.
What are your thoughts on Iceland's EU referendum? Do you want to join?
Silvía Nótt is a parody character played by actress Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir - think Sacha Baron Cohen's characters like Borat or Ali G. In Iceland she existed as the star of an interview show similar to and inspired by Da Ali G Show, where she, in character as this incredibly ditzy, obnoxious diva, would interview people who thought she was for real for the entertainment value of her ridiculousness contrasted against how the interviewees reacted to her. (Disclaimer: I never watched her show myself, but that's what I understand it was like.)
Her Eurovision song was similarly an obvious parody sung in character as this ridiculously self-important fictional character. In the Icelandic version, the chorus literally starts "Congratulations, Iceland, on me being born here", and the backup dancers were dressed like security guards in suits and sunglasses only to dramatically pull of their pants at the climax. She acted rude and obnoxious and preposterously awful in all the interviews around it in Iceland, too, because that was the joke and the whole point of her character!
One way or another, though, the official English translation and staging kind of muted the obvious parody nature of it to the point that people outside of Iceland couldn't even tell that it was a parody and a parody character and just thought she was an actual obnoxiously self-important diva, so all in all her entry was a big flop in the actual contest, nobody really got the joke, and the whole thing was kind of embarrassing.
So she was not cancelled, because she is not a real person, and the entire point of her was to be like that.
Was watching clips of classic Eurovision entries and one came up that made want to find out more. What was the reaction in Iceland to their Eurovision 2006 Sylvia Night entry and the way she conducted herself in interviews (she was kicking journalists out and being very rude). I remember reading news articles with people claling her behaviour a disgrace and being mad at the way she acted.
So just wondering if in Iceland she got cancelled, a bad reputation, or thrived off the negative rep. And was she famous prior to Eurovision and was she always thia arrogant and rude?
Really good information! It helps me to write content in better way.
cool
My oldest affiliate is Pokémon Rebirth, which has been around since 2001, although it didn't become an affiliate until 2005, and technically the project is now complete so the site is dormant since 2021. Sneasel Plushie, though, is also an affiliate since 2005 and last updated this December.
Who is your longest affiliate at this point? And are there any old Pokemon fansites from 2006 that are still updated 20 years later (othen than the big ones)?
Happy Pokémon Day! To celebrate, I finally figured out that my top 5 Pokémon are Rotom, Unown, Arceus, Ho-oh, and Zoroark!
Ugh, thanks for letting me know. I had no idea.
Snivy
:D
Man… I remember reading IV guides and other things off this site back in middle school. I'm blown away that it still exists and is still active. You've inspired me to make my own personal site, so thanks for that!
Godspeed, and thanks for all the tips throughout the years~
all that aside, it's absolutely incredible to see both the users who popularized the mew trick show up on this forum over 20 years later! especially as someone who's been checking in on this site every once and a while for some ~8ish years (pales in comparison, but still) and am always happy to see it's still being updated, being a fan of pokemon games and all their weird bugs and quirks is something you can never really fully lose interest in and i think that's wonderful
was trying to figure out what that acronym even meant and doing a little digging it's a transphobic nazi dogwhistle. just wonderful (intense sarcasm)
butterfree, if you see this, i strongly suggest deleting the comment above, as it happens to be hate speech disguised on a surface level as support.
and to any trans women or queer people in general who stumble across the above comment and get caught off guard like i was. you are loved. above commenter is a bigot trying to bait people. take my hand. let's hit them with hammers together
THANK YOU for telling me this. I was using a level ball to catch a lv 6 numel at full HP and it did not work multiple times. Other catch rate calculators said it should be a 100%. And googling why the ball wasn't working didn't give me any answers either.
