Sandspine farewell message

I’m telling the truth when I say I’ve cried some very real tears over the impending departure of Sandspine from the site. Beyond the fact that such an iconic member of the loose group of original universes will be leaving for good and that there’s only days left for me to admire that goldmine of wonderfully developed (much more so than you give it credit for) lore before it just disappears — I feel incredibly guilty that I caused this.

I wish that I hadn’t made you doubt that the Sandspine Empire is, in all honesty, my favorite universe on the site, and that it deserves more attention and love than anything our tiny little community could have and did (or didn’t) provide it with. I’m sorry we made you feel like you had to update and edit your content at everyone else’s pace just to stay relevant or remembered, even though I swear on all that’s unholy that I’ve never forgotten it even once. I wish I had taken more chances to show you how much I love your writing and the characters in it, because that’s something that, even as I’ve turned my eyes to new users and their own content, has never wavered in me. I just failed to keep reassuring you that that was the case, and now I have to deal with the consequences.

Sandspine Empire was the beginning of page backgrounds, corner images, associated songs, and PMVs. Your work extends as short as me naming the king of the Raptorback Wilds gods after Burptitan, and as far as causing me to explore a new art form and reconnect with old ones. It was what got me back into making clay figurines like I did as a younger kid years ago. It inspired the New Warsaw Universe because I wanted to create a high-fantasy universe just like you did, and then it inspired the Raptorback Wilds because I wanted to do that same thing but better than the first time. And somehow, some words on a page about the pixel sidekicks of somebody else on another continent have gone so far as to influence my music taste. I forget if you ever named the genre of folk-ish music that tends to develop the characters’ associated songs, but whatever it is, you opened my eyes to that by pairing them up with some of the most unforgettable little balls of coding I’ll ever meet.

It made me feel like I mattered to the community to have a pet from my favorite lore world named after and based on me. When you praised my first PMV, it made me feel like I was good enough to keep going and keep trying. When you changed Lillian’s name to Draumr because you were helping me battle Tigerlily from behind the scenes every step of the way and never stepped back to play the confused neutral party, I felt like I was justified in my upsetness with Tiger and that my perspective in the situation was worth supporting. When you saw my imagined concepts for your characters’ appearances and incorporated them into your own, I had never felt so happy that you liked my choices and creative inferences enough to make them canon. When you went out of your way to storyboard a crossover between our universes when I had never done — and still never went on to do — any kindness like that for you, it felt like I was doing something right with my own writing.

I would have liked to say that I’ve been wholly invested in the Sandspine Empire since the beginning, but I have to admit that in the haze of developing my own works, I didn’t think anything too special of it until I saw what you were turning it into. You developed it, from less clear or defined initial ideas, into something I wanted to read every ounce of and wonder how, of all the much more dignified platforms you could have shared your work on, Wikipets somehow got so lucky as to be the one to host this fantasy world.

My satisfaction with all this is that you plan to continue working, on your own terms, with the elements of this awesome universe and getting out all the thoughts you can into a place where you can do more with them. The teachers at the writing intensive I went to a couple months ago would always say that when you’re developing a story or its world, write every day, write a sentence, write a paragraph, write however much you want, just enough so that you don’t let your next genius invention slip out of your thoughts -- but even if you never publish it or share it further, forgetting everything you have worked so had to make is the worst possible thing that could happen to it.

The truth is simply that no one who ever read even a few pages of Sandspine could ever forget it. Thank you for giving us a year of amazing-at-worst content, subsequent inspirations, and so much more.
