The end draws near. My 19+ year NG journey is now just 7 days from completion, and so I wanted to share some of my fondest moments...

Proudest NG moment:

I've been lucky enough to win some prizes over the years. A couple of my short stories won prizes back when literacy competitions were common place. I was especially pleased with my Halloween tale, Pico's school 2.

I also managed to win a prize for my one and only art entry. Please go and vote on it if you see this- it needs just 2 more for me to see it's score!

Favourite community:

I'll always have fond memories of the Elite Guard Barracks. Thanks to Eaglerock and the OG crew for some great years there. I also loved my short time in the NG Mafia,writing stories of murder and intrigue.

Life-changing moment:

This is an easy one. I was lucky enough to see my wife walk down the aisle to music composed right here on NG. The site has brought a lot of colour and community to my life over 19 years, but nothing on that level.

I also have a published story thanks to NG, as part of the first NG book Collab. I still roll out the tale of Kevin with my Biology students every now and again, and the book sits pride of place on my shelf.

...

So onto the final stats push. I never thought I would be here long enough to hit the fabled heights of level 60, but here we are. I'll try and make the rest of my numbers pretty with the final few votes...
