Or make beautiful wallpapers.
Or... well, do anything that requires a talent for the visual arts.

(koop gives his best pitiful look. He will never be part of "the scene." Not l337-enough.)

However, I do believe that I contribute to this community.
I post. I comment on skins. I am often moved to write thank you notes to authors whose work I find particuarly moving. If something is wrong, I try to fix it. In short, I do what I can to give back. I encourage everyone to do the same.

This is a pretty cool place. By and large, people here are talented (very talented, in my opinion) and caring and look out for each other. I feel priviledged to be a part of that. We have a very strong sense of community and I like that. (Reminds me of Greenwich Village in the Sixties. Doh! Gave away my age!)

Please note that other sites also have communities and scenes and whatever. It is just that this one suits me.

I wrote the other day that I am a secular humanist.(I used to be an atheist, but I don't have that strong a belief system. )I think that it is really important for us to look out for each other. That is what I find here.
There is a story about when William Faulkner, the noted writer, took a job in Hollywood as a screenwriter. One day this actor comes up to him and says: "You write? I read."

So, if you skin it, I will download it!
