If you didn't already know, today is the first anniversary of APR, or the Actual Pokemon Roleplay, originally created by Rainpool_medicine_cat. This RP is historic in that without it, none of us would've become friends. Even those of you out there who didn't join us until the PMD era-- I originally pitched the idea for a Mystery Dungeon roleplay on APR, and several of its members said that I should go with it. And then PMD branched off into TNG, BV, PCHB, etc. Those of us who were members of APR, though, have plenty of fun (and... not so fun *pokes Jango incidents and the deletion of the first RP*) memories from our experiences there which we most likely won't forget for a long time to come.
Personally, I feel as if I've benefited from APR; I already discussed how it caused all of us to meet up, but I also think it made me a better writer. If you remember how I RPed back in the early days, and compare it to now... haaa. This is especially important to me, since I want to take on writing as a profession eventually ^^

Here are all the RPs in the APR series:
 Actual Pokemon Roleplay! (deleted, sadly :()
The New "Actual Pokemon Roleplay"
