Guest_GhostSquadLeader: Now, question one. Why did you become a creator?
HRHeather: I came to imvu in the fall of 2007. I came for the role play, and to have fun. All 2008, I had INTENSE fun role playing, with a group that grew to 120 members with me as it's Queen. Christmas of that year, my character was betrayed huge, the group I'd temporarily given to an absolute freind refused to give it back.... the betrayals were multi level and obnoxious. I gave up and was about to delete before the New Year, but true freinds told me not to. I deleted my friends list down from almost a thousand to about 50, and looked at the very best dresses I had in my inventory. I had no illusions about making anything equal to those, but I felt I wanted to give it a try.
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: Do you believe that becomming a creator rather than going to destory those who betrayed you was the better choice?
HRHeather: I guess I kind of did both?! :D I pulled all of my friends out of "my" group that I had been exiled from, until there were only 45 names in it, 7 of those were active, the rest were all deactivated names of people who I supposed left imvu and from the sociopaths. I learned then that there are people on imvu who get jiggy over ruining other people's fun. By the time I'd finished my first dress (which was a horrendous disaster) the group had changed hands a few times, I had made up and become friends again with that person who wouldn't give my group back to me that Christmas, and the group had been deleted.
HRHeather: So I felt delighted.
HRHeather: :)
HRHeather: If I can't have it back, I can sure destroy it.
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: Wow that's, amazing. Alright, last question. Are you working on anything new?
HRHeather: --,..,--
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: Sorry had to ask, I am still an HR heather finatic.
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: fanatic)
HRHeather: Presently I burned out....... I have LOTS of wonderful ideas, plenty of collages of dresses to design and make and do all sorts of nice things with - I just can't get it together to make them.
HRHeather: :)
HRHeather: I'm working on a lace idea......it's mostly together? But............
HRHeather: I go through depressions.
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: I see, I'm sorry about that hon.
HRHeather: I can go in to a beautiful room with men in suits and women in gowns and all I can see in there are fantastic magnificent spectacular works of fantasy that I didn't make.
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: Oh, I see, I think I know what your getting at
HRHeather: nod
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: What's the point? kind of thing?
HRHeather: YES
HRHeather: lol
HRHeather: :)
HRHeather: I felt like hitting the delete button on that group of mine SSSSOOOOO many times !!! It would have been so easy to just hit DELETE, and the intensity would have ended. So I gave the group away TEMPORARILY until I could get it together again in my head. I feel the same with making dresses.
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: I know, my friend, who made, this room for me, and some of the furniutre wonders that, I just tell him, make it anyway who cares? Your making it cause you like deving. Your making dresses because you ove making them. There are tons of RL designers and they keep at it. I think you should forget how many other devs there are and pretend your the only one and keep pushing forward.
HRHeather: :)
HRHeather: thank you
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: Your dresses are the only dresses on imvu, and if you dont keep making them, there wont be anymore. Pretend everyone is wearing low quality undies. LOL
Guest_GhostSquadLeader: Your so welcome
HRHeather: :D
HRHeather: lol
HRHeather: thankies
