Welcome to Memories of FOWN Past: A Retrospective! Around this time of year, all the differnet sights, smells and other sensations bring back to me a rush of Christmas Time Memories! When that happens, I take a moment in the privacy of my mind to relish the memory. Sometimes it's about a cookie I baked. Perhaps the late night I stayed up to suprise someone with a particulaly special surprise! Or maybe it's a time I spent with all my friends talking and making trouble! Or playing video games and building castles with cubes of dirt and rock! These are some of my memories that come back to me.

But even more so when I'm here chatting with all of my friends and assorted fellow menewshan's, I remember so many times I spent with all of you! Hanging out in Event Threads. Getting up to all kinds of shenanigans and having to be chased off by Channah. Epic rounds of Battleship and other games! RAPIDFIRE POSTS IN RAKMAS COUNTEM! I have so many! And I'd love to share them with you all!

But I hope too that you have some exciting memories as well! Because that's what this thread is all about! Sharing past experiences of your favorite FOWNs! Bringing back happy memories that fill you with joy! Whether it's as simple as a gift of an item that you really wanted to being in the middle of a huge event with all your favorite peeps! Whatever it is, we'd love to hear it! Please head further down the page and check out how you can get in on this gift of sharing memories.

FAQ & Rules
  • Follow Mene's Site Rules.
  • Follow the guidelines for submitting your Memories. You can submit more than one but please make sure to read the "How To Participate" section!
  • Be respectful of other people's memories! No making fun or otherwise disrespecting anyones posts or I will call Channah faster than you can say Purse Full of Bricks.
  • Please use the prescribed text size and format in the entry form. If any of you are like me and write brick walls, we don't want to clutter the page with giant Font Size!
  • We reserve the right to edit post formatting if the aforementioned rule is not followed.
  • I reserve the right to change or add to the rules as needed.
  • Have Fun!

I bet you are just itching to tell people about that time that Linnea fell in the punch bowl or maybe when Alaunt called me an grumpy old man! Well... we're getting there! Let me explain briefly how this is going to go down.

Each day I will post a prompt for you about a specific setting. Some kind of person, place, or thing. It will then be your job to use the provided form below to post your favorite memory that comes to mind when reading the prompt!

From there, I will collect all your memories and put them in the Festival Pensive. There will be a hidden category there for each days' prompt where I will place all your memories!

There is also the option, if the prompt doesn't help you or you have something extra you'd like to share, to submit a Misc. Memory using the provided form below! Those collected memories will be placed along with the others in a Misc. category!

There will be 7 Total prompts as I will be extending the prompts from the day before Christmas and New Years though the holiday. The last Prompt will remain until the Event shuts off.

Do you ever have that moment when you're sitting at your kitchen table munching on a cookie or by the fire in your living room with your laptop in your lap or maybe sitting up in bed with your covers pulled up to your waist, where this moment strikes you! And you go OH!! This reminds me exactly of the that one time on Menewsha!

This is more of an ambiguos prompt but there are so many times when I sit and jump online and am suddently struck with the de'ja vue of a moment. it brings back a flood of sensaion and sight and sound. Perhaps you have moments like this too...?

Day 5:




Do you ever have those moments when you are suddenly struck by this memory of years past when FOWN was going and you just happened to be playing this one game or baking this particular recipe or maybe just talking to your bestie in front of the fire. Sometimes these memories don't link to something specific indise Menewsa but even still...

Those can be the best memories! Like the one I have of playing that old flash game Ice Breaker back in 2010 while siting for X-mas with the rest of the family. I got a Jabra Handsfree car speaker phone from my bestie that year XD. My own memories aside, perhaps there's somethign that tickles a similar spot in your mind?

I just wanted to share with you that time that...: My family was at the table playing cards, all the younger kids were screaming as they ran around the house, and one in particular came to us at the table and said loudly "Grandma, -sibling- won't stop screaming!" to which she replied, "are you screaming, too?" He went quiet and thought for a moment before saying "no." and seemed confused when we all started laughing, before he took off to keep screaming and playing with everyone else. Sometimes a child's lack of self-awareness is a gift.

I don't have any memories of past FOWNs. :( (I'm unsure if I just wasn't around for them or if my horrible memory is to blame).
But I look forward to reading others' stories! :D
