Kudos for Zelphyr

Oh god, there's so much to say about this lovely person. Zel is one of the kindest, most caring people I know, and by far one of the best writers. With a wide range of characters and a vocabulary that could knock the socks off a novelist, they are indeed, amazing. Kind and understanding Wonderful writer - Anonymous

from Mesyn: not only has Zelph worked with me on ideas and went though what was likely annoying busywork just to pursue a half backed conceptual idea of my own imagining for a story, they're also LEAGUES ahead of me and writing skills, how they put up with me in spite of that is a miracle.

Zelphyr, you've been sort of an inspiration to me, which may sound odd but what I mean is this: as an LGBT teen, I often get told that many of the things I experience are 'just a phase' and that I'll 'grow out of them'. But seeing an adult who experiences similar things to me... it feels comforting, and validating, because it shows that my experience isn't 'just a ridiculous ki thing', like I'm often told. So thank you, for existing and for speaking up and being open about your LGBT experiences. - Anonymous

Yooo, Zelphyr is such a lovely individual! Admittedly I've never really interacted with them (except for once-) because I'm low-key intimidated by their coolness (and their twice-my-ageness). But, from their character pages I can tell that they are a creative, intriguing writer, and from their forum posts, that they are a kind and helpful person with great insight. All in all, Zelphyr is a shining light in the community, and I'm always happy to see them popping up around the site. Kind and understanding Creative ideas - Anonymous

They are so helpful and knowable in the forums. They seem to be everywhere. A valuable member to this community. Kind and understanding Helpful - LakotaSiouxWarrior

Zelphyr is someone I have come to greatly admire, and admittedly even look up to in many aspects. They emit a gentle confidence about them and have an incredibly open and accepting outlook on lifestyles and states of being. They thoughtfully approached each interaction I've seen with great wisdom and have been active in the community in a way that I believe has been very helpful for dozens of members here in rpr. I've only been able to see them write once and was 100% impressed with what I saw. Kind and understanding Helpful - Alien_Princess

Zelphyr and I haven't written together, nor have we talked very often, but I do like how they are a consistent presence in the forums. They're always kind to people and offers advice to those when they need it the most, being truthful when people need to hear it the most. It's obviously clear that they are a conscientious person that thinks of others. Kind and understanding Helpful - MissPixie

Basically, they're just awesome. It's this quiet, careful, calculated, intentional sort of awesome, and I admire them for their intentionality. If you'll notice, everything they do seems to elevate someone or some worthy cause or point. As they climb the stairs and see what's on the next level, they have the inclination and ability to describe that next level & the steps they took to get there, for the benefit of the people who are on the journey w/ them. Their vibe is helpful and elevating. Kind and understanding Helpful - Abigail_Austin

I deeply respect and admire Zelphyr for being who they are -- a kind, loving, generous person who has learned to assess and grow as an individual. They've set a most excellent example of dealing with life at your own pace and learning from yourself and others, and I'm so exceptionally proud to call them my friend and a fellow group-moderator!

Zelphyr has been incredibly open about a topic that some people would shy away from. I appreciate them sharing good times, bad times, and whatever in between. They are always helping everyone around them and I cannot imagine RPR without them anymore. I look forward to seeing how they light up the site in the next year!

Zelphyr is a very kind and honest human being. While we don't talk very much when we have it's always been good conversation. Not to mention their generally delightful characters. Kind and understanding Helpful - MercyInReach

Zelphyr and I haven't written together, and we haven't really talked to get to know one another. However, I can say that I enjoy their presence in the forums. Their honesty and up front nature is a sight for sore eyes. Zelphyr is a kind and helpful person. They certainly deserve more praise. Thanks for being you, Zelphyr.

Zelphyr is a very kind soul. They went out of their way to to recognize those who helped in the beta of RPR 2.0 by showering them all in sweet sweet kudos. It was unexpected and so I thus shower Zelphyr in love and appreciation. Kind and understanding Helpful - Mipps

Zephyr has been an intense driving force in the 2.0 conversion of RPR. Through Beta testing and Bug zapping and the time coming up to and after the switchover, they have been hard at work, and giving out kudos for everyone is really an awesome thing to do. Zephyr is overall an outstanding person that makes RPR and the world a better place.! Kind and understanding Helpful - Deumeawyn

Zelphyr made an incredible individual effort to collect data on how many bugs people squashed during the RPR 2.0 beta testing phase, so that in the absence of accolades these people were able to receive some form of recognition through kudos instead.

This is exceptionally kind because it was not requested or necessary, but Zelphyr valued people's contributions so highly they dedicated their time and energy to recognize them on their own initiative anyway! How awesome is that?! Kind and understanding Helpful - Sanne
