Are you bored? Are you considering leaving Gaia? Do you have an amazing collection of items built up in your inventory that you no longer want or need? Why not donate them?

Lot's of Gaians have equally amazing wishlists and all are looking for generous donaters. I'm putting together this charity/quest thread to help pair givers with receivers. As I look through the Gaian Exchange I see Gaian after Gaian claiming that they are bored and are looking for a way to get rid of their items. I see contests, lotteries and auctions with little to no publicity and not really any posted results. The Marketplace is just as bad, there you find inflation which robs many Gaians of their ability to complete their quests. To combat this we see 1k=1g stores and many charities. But their are still more Gaians that are being skipped over and abandoned. I'd like to help. I'm not completely unselfish, I too have my own quest of the impossible nature, but what are we questing for if not empty pixels?

Rules:
Yes, it seems you cannot escape them.
1: Follow the rules of Gaia!
2: NO CHAT SPEAK! Please use proper grammar at all times!

Rules for Better Writing:
(Credit given to The Kaleidoscope:January Week 4 2007)
Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects.
Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
Be more or less specific.
Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) arre (usually) unnecessary.
Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
No sentence fragments.
Contractions aren't neccessary and shouldn't be used.
Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superflous.
One should NEVER generalize.
Don't use no double negatives.
One-word sentences? Eliminate.
Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
Understatement is always the best way to put forth earth shaking ideas.
Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed.
Puns are for children, not groan readers.
Who needs rhetorical questions?
Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

(For those of you who didn't catch it, that was a joke. xp )

3. Please use the provided form if you are submitting your quest. Any request made without using the form will be ignored.
4. Be kind. Somethings are going to be impossible to obtain. I know it, you may know it. Someone else may not. Please don't burst their bubble. Just be supportive.
5. Please title your trades. If you are donating to the Quest thread please let me know. Any trades sent without a title will be used at my discretion.
6. Please no flaming, spamming or page stretching.
7. Most importantly have fun! That is what Gaia is all about. Hang out chat, bump, debate, whatever. Just have fun.

Rules can be changed so please read them often.

I've completely changed the focus of my quest. I've even added a couple new mini-quests. I love the ideas of the tektek avatar contests that people hold so I'm going to try and set one up. I'm not sure what the theme is going to be, but St. Patrick's Day is coming up. Maybe I can come up with something by then.

Things are crazy hectic for me right now. I think I'm breaking up with my boyfriend, I know I'm moving and I know I'm changing jobs. >< With all of that my internet time and connection is going to be a little wonky. I'm going to try and get online during the weekends so my PM box is open if you have any questions.

Previously my Toy Box and now my....

Quote Book:

Here is a place where I will keep a collection of inspiring or hilarious quotations that I've found on Gaia.

The Intelli-Gent

Some things do not just cross the boundaries of good taste, but stroll right through the lands of Tawdry Indecorum, take a round cruise about the Cape of Abject Monstrosities, followed by a brief detour past the scenery of Who The Hell Thought That Was A Good Idea? and end up basking on a beach somewhere in the bay of Oh Dear God, What Has Happened To Humanity.

canadian_trekkie

The average length of time between penetration and orgasm for a man is 7.3 minutes.

The Intelli-Gent

Who do I have to kill, maim, bribe with large sums of money, or hit over the head repeatedly with my large hardback copy of the Oxford English Dictionary for a scarf shop?

dj_kitty

Well I wouldn't be a very good stripper cause all of my clothes are off...

I'm finally finished enough that I can let people start commenting and get things started!!! I'm so excited!

Of course, I'm just about to go home for the evening but I'll be back on tomorrow around 8:30am Mountain Time. ^^ Have fun!
