Such a long story to tell...

Well as many of you may have expected, this year has finally waned and we prepare for a New Year (Unless you are a heathen and are waiting until Jan. 26th >.>). For some of us it went by oh so fast, and for others it dragged on and on and on and on and on and on and on...

Much like the passing of the year, UDF has seen almost too many changes to mention. Old members have gone in different directions, and yet we have been lucky enough to have a tidal wave of new talent whom we have been slowly molding to accept and cherish the UDF motto: Clamo, clamatis, omnes clamamus pro BL.

As a tribute to those lost this last year, Ari has been standing a vigilant watch to make sure they have a warm welcome, should they find the error of their ways.



And as a great Welcome to all our new members, we let Onel take a small chunk of the coffers to organize a nice LS warming party for them all... However his taste in entertainment left many a bit...



What about yours truely you may be wondering? Well I have been vastly entangled in negotiations to try and finish the Wizard of VD. I am sure many of you recall this heart-warming tale of brave adventure! Due to casting issues we had to halt production of this film mid way into filming. I do however have for your extended viewing pleasure, a few clips that have never seen the light of day...




Because of the fandom that was brought about by the release of the teaser last year, I had the pleasure of being invited onto The View to share the story of UDF with the world. Here is a clipboard re-telling of my interview:








Einherjar
This was an auspicious year for UDF, we worked so very hard and thanks to good leading and great teamwork we finally beat Odin.

De-Wyrming Attohwa Chasm

By a stroke of shear luck this year, we found a lonely Tiamat wandering around eating mules. As such we gathered together and once again took down a HNM, our Quota for the year is now complete!

We have endured much this year, each member has put in a substantial amount of work in all areas, as such we give a cheery Job-Well-Done-Pat-On-The-Back to everyone.
