I apologize in advance for the narration, but if I am going to do this,
I am going to do it all the way. There used to be a link here that sent
you straight to the rules, but after considerable thought, I have removed
it. This lineage was created for a purpose, one very near and dear to my
heart. I am sharing it, for free, with those who feel the same.
You don't have to read the story, but I really wish you would.





Image

From the moment I saw these little jewels, I knew what I had to do.
For me, pink means hope.
Pink means struggling against all odds.
Pink means believing even when the doctors tell you otherwise.
Pink means fighting for life.
Fighting for hope.
Fighting.... for a cure.

I lost my grandmother when I was 12 years old to a battle with brain cancer
she spent decades fighting and ultimately lost.
Even after numerous surgeries, the cancer spread so deep into her brain it
became inoperable, & it had seeded in most of her major organs by the time
it finally claimed her life.
My grandmother was the kind of woman who always made sure that the
family got together at least once a year, and that usually meant Christmas
at her house. She was the kind of woman who bought the biggest tree she
could afford and let all the grandkids decorate it just the way they wanted
with ornaments that had been in the family for every Christmas we could
remember, while Christmas music was playing and fresh, homemade goodies
where being nibbled. She was the kind of woman who poured her heart and
soul into everything she did for her family, right until the last day we were
blessed with her presence.
She was one of the strongest women I have ever had the honor and privilege
of knowing, & I shall dearly miss her for the rest of my life.

She was not the only person I have lost in such a tragic way.
A few years after she passed, my cousin committed suicide.
Less than a year later, my uncle, who had smoked cigars all his life
and had finally quit not long before his son took his own life,
died from lung cancer, likely due to the fact that he took up smoking again
with a vengeance to try to cope with the pain of outliving his child.
Less than two years later, his wife, my aunt, died.
To this day, I firmly believe she died of a broken heart.
A few years later, I lost my mom's dad, my grandpa, to complications stemming
from a myriad of illness: he was a diabetic, and he had a few different types of cancer.
A year later, I lost my dad's dad, my Papa, to lung cancer;
he was not even a smoker, and had lived in a non-smoking household for decades.

All of these people were so strong and full of life.
They cared very deeply for their families, and our lives were made so much
more rich for having them in it.
I know I am not the only one to loose such dearly beloved people in
such ways, and I know there must be others who will seek throughout
their lives to honor the memories and legacies of those we have lost.

I know also that there are people who have been blessed with a second chance.
I know that where there is hope, there is a way.
We must make a home for Hope in our hearts,
so that facing each day makes us stronger and despair cannot touch us.
This lineage sprang from the desire to stand as a memorial to my grandma,
but I want it to be so much more.
I want this lineage to be some small means of celebrating those we love and
have lost, and support those who still fight.
I want this lineage to be a springboard for sharing, for healing, for strengthening
resolve, and to remind us to cherish every day because each one truly is a gift.
I know it's a big dream for such a small thing,
but why dream at all if you don't dream big?


Because of how this lineage came to be, I would like the first 3 generations
to be purebred pink only. You may attach whatever cause you like to them,
but please, purebred pink only for the first 3 generations.
Beginning with the 3rd generation, I encourage you to mix breed for whatever
color you feel most strongly connected to for your cause;
let's try to get every color in the 4th generation, and in every generation
after that.

This lineage is meant to be incredibly personal, so I am going to be pretty
lax on the naming of your imps.
Please, do not abuse this.
My suggestion is to name them after
the people who inspired your desire to adopt one.
As long as they are named something nice, I will be happy.
This is a lineage for the heart, please keep it in the spirit of the
memories of the loved ones it was intended to honor
and for those still fighting for life, love, and freedom.

Hope is free, and so are these creatures.
Never try to sell your Hope, give it freely in love and respect,
as those we have lost did so very much during their time
on Earth for us.

You don't have to have lost someone to be a part of Hope.
All that is required is genuine care for the suffering of others
and a desire for an end to it.
Choose your cause, then help it grow.
Help spread Hope around MagiStream,
as those we love so much have done in our hearts & lives for us.
There are many ribbon colors, and only 4 colors of imps.
We can still make each one count.
Here is a list of the colors we have access to and some of their causes (some overlap):


Pink:
Breast cancer, pregnancy and infant loss, SIDS, amniotic fluid embolism, hyperemesis graviduram, Group B Strep, Phyllodes tumors, loss of a daughter, MDS ("prelukemia"), thyroid cancer, congenital hyperinsulinism.

Red:
AIDS/HIV, alcohol and drug abuse, Epidermolysis Bullosa, disaster relief, heart disease, stroke, supraventicular tachycardia, Wolff-parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW), hypertension, Evans Syndrome, Vasculitis, Wegener’s Granulomatosis, aplastic anemia, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, MDS & other bone marrow diseases, Hepatitis C, 9/11 victims, Congenital Heart Defects, Cystic Fibrosis, Leukemia, Lymphoma, murder victims, self mutilation/harm/injury, myeloproliferative neoplasms.

White:
Victims of terrorism, diabetes, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, sexual assault of students, retinal blastoma, blindness, alzheimers, bone disease and bone cancer, post partum depression, Scoliosis, men working to end men's violence against women, poverty, gay-teen suicide.

Yellow:
American Military/Support Our Troops, POW/MIA, suicide prevention, spina biffida, missing children, endometriosis, sarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma, bladder cancer, liver disease, liver cancer, cholangiocarcinomas, hydrocephalus or hydrocephaly, osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Hepatitis C, Down Syndrome.




I have to give thanks to
❤ Kynali & IcyFlame ❤
for trading their imps for my Raiju.
Without them, this lineage might never have been possible.
You guys are awesome, and you will never understand how much
it means to me that I was able to make this lineage happen.
Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart.
It goes without saying that you guys are the first 2 on the list
for a Hope baby, unless you tell me you do not want one.

1. Please use the form when requesting, ONLY IF requests are open.
There will be a limited number of spots available for requesting.
Please do not request while the slots are full for now. This will probably
change in the future, but these guys are very picky breeders and unless they
start being more cooperative, I do not want to have 20 people waiting for an
egg for 3 months. >,< It's not fair to yall.

2. Please name your Hope. I suggest naming it after someone who has
touched your life (perhaps someone you love or have lost to cancer or another illness),
but that's not required. No real guidelines, just please
make it appropriate for the lineage purpose; make it nice.
I need to know what you want to name it (there's a spot on your form
for that) as I will name the hatchy before I send it over.

3. You must breed your Hope at least once. If you don't
want the responsibility of giving the offspring away, send it to me.
I will gladly gift it on your behalf to someone who really wants it.

4. Purebred Pink Rose Imps only for the first 3 generations.
You are encouraged to breed your 3rd generation Hope to other colors.
I finally have some QBs to breed to get you a purebred mate for your Hope,
so if you were one of the first to request a Hope imp and do not have a
purebred mate for it yet, please PM me to let me know & I will make your
request a priority. To be clear: this lineage now requires purebred mates.
I can provide one for you should you need it at the time that I trade you your
Hope imp; there will be a place on the form to denote that when requests
open up again. Please do realize and understand that this will affect the amount
of time you will have to wait for your Hope. I will no longer gift Hope imps to
those who do not currently have a suitable mate for them. Again, this is free; it
just means that you will have to wait a bit longer. When requests are open, please
put rawr in the section for other to prove that you looked over these rules.

5. DO NOT sell or give away the Hope I give you!
Do not sell the offspring! You may gift as many as you like,
but I never want to see Hope being sold.
It goes against everything this lineage was created for.

6. No inbreeding!!!
No releasing!!!!
No freezing please.
If for any reason you decide you no longer
want your Hope, SEND IT BACK TO ME.
Any questions on similar things?
Please post here and ask so I may
incorporate that into the rules. <3

7. Please make sure that anyone you gift Hope to understands
and respects the rules. Keep the spirit of the lineage,
and try to gift only to others who will do the same.
The day I see another frozen Hope, I shall cry.
v.v
Then I will stop gifting Hope upon request
and only occasionally gift, so as
not to have it abused
again.
</3


If you feel you cannot or will not follow these rules,
please do not request a Hope baby.
Ever.
If you violate these rules, you will be blacklisted from
everything I have the power to blacklist you from,
and both your name and your offense will be posted here,
in public, for all the world to see! For shame!
Please, guys, DON'T make me use the blacklist for this lineage! >,<
You'll break my heart. =(

There is now officially a blacklist ~ and furthermore,
should you be blacklisted from requesting lineages by
any of my trusted friends, you can consider yourself
blacklisted here. And no, I will NOT hide this list in a spoiler!
If you break these rules and abuse the spirit of this lineage, your
name shall be shouted here for all the world to see! For shame!!!
Keep reading for details. It is a sad, sad day when I must make
such rules to protect Hope from those who would abuse it.

Cross97 ~ For breaking lineage rules, and in the process, my heart. For shame. =(

11/21/2010: Hope will reopen soon, after I adopt the blacklists of a select few that I respect and have good reason to trust. If your name is here, you will not be able to request without a darn good reason, and even then you will only ever be eligible for a 3rd gen ~ and that's a BIG if. A word of warning: I have made it a point to try to help people on this site, and have made friends who feel the same. If you take advantage of someone who helps others or betray them in some way so that you are blacklisted by them, you will likely be blacklisted by me. No one deserves to have their trust abused, least of all the sweetest folks on this site who are always trying to help others out, and if you make a habit of mistreating people, just go away now please; if your name is not on here yet for that, it will be, and such jerks are NOT welcome here. =_=

11/1/2010: Requests closed indefinitely because Nozomi, the imp gifted to Cross97, was sold by her owner and went to someone who did not follow the rules. Cross97 neglected to inform the person he/she sold Nozomi to that there were special rules for this lineage, and Nozomi was bred with a red 1st gen mixed-blood imp, resulting in a 2nd gen pink egg which the new owner eventually froze at 60.45%. Thank you, Gwinni, for understanding and selling the poor forsaken Hope to me. Cross97 is hereby blacklisted from all manner of trade and business that I do here. You had her for less than a month and placed her in your shop, without any hint of what the lineage was even about? I feel utterly betrayed. </3

Requests are closed for a bit, but please use
the form below to request your Hope when they open again.
Please check the spoiler above before requesting! If there are no spots on
the list to request, please do not post!
Also, by requesting you affirm that you have read and promise
to uphold ALL of the rules I have laid out here for this lineage.
Failure to do so will get you blacklisted and publicly humiliated, and I will
bribe TNHawke to send her skwiddy army after you!!! >=\ Seriously, do NOT
request if you are not sure you can or will follow the rules. Thanks.
Oh, a couple of things: forms without the proper identification in the "Other"
field will be ignored; please do not post it improperly a second time? >,<
Also, you have until your egg is hatched to get me the name you would like for it,
then I am moving to the next person who completed the form as requested.
Form has been updated as of 4/9/2011 in response to rulebreakers and in
preparation for re-opening. More news to follow soon.
Requests are still closed at this time. Thank you.

Which Generation & Color?: (Please include which generation & color you want your Hope imp, as well as which color you would like its mate to be. Make sure to reference the rules. You may request any generation of Hope imp, but please do not request AT ALL unless you're ok with getting a 3rd gen as this will likely be what I will send.)
Color of your Hope's mate?: (Will be pink for anything but 3rd gens; 3rd+ gens may breed to any color.)

Welcome! Image This is the section of A Home for Hope where we can celebrate our family members - no, I'm not talking about the Imps. Whenever there is a Hope event or a special event for one of its members, it is my goal to have it posted here. Right now, there are only two subsections: Events & Birthdays. If you have an idea for any other sections that would be appropriate here, please PM me. Image Just a note: MagiVersaries will be included in the Birthday section.

Happening Now:

(Nothing at the moment, just focusing on getting some imps bred.)

ImageThe Great Rat Scramble! O.o ~ I have found someone that would be willing to try to get me a QB Imp or two for a heaping mound of Deccessi. She is asking for at least 30 each, and I need help! I have a thread right now in the MD asking for all the Decessus you can spare; I'm even paying! Please take a look if you think you might be interested in helping out and making a little bit of gold, it would be greatly appreciated. :t-swoon: - Was A Rousing Success! The response to this was overwhelming! Thank you so much Faeryl, Ruffian75, Wynterborne, BlindMag, Airyn, and so so many others that went above and beyond to help me make this happen. My humble thanks to you guys. A very special thank you to Elly, who took me up on my offer of a bat for 30 rats! Your support was pivotal in my ability to actually do this, and you have my gratitude {and eternal hugs!}. You guys are all amazing, thank you so so much. I know I have left so many names out of this list - I admit that I totally lost track of them all! Please PM me if you would like your name here so I can add you. :t-glomp:



Future Events:

Spoiler
Name the Progenators contest! Once the current (as of today, 9/29) orders are filled, I will begin taking suggestions for names. I am still debating on how to work this, but once we have a sufficient number, I shall put it to a vote. The voting period will run for an-as-yet-to-be-determined-but-definitely-set amount of time, and the winner will win a nice little prize (tbd). I encourage everyone who is interested in this lineage to participate in suggesting names. This is still in the planning stages, but I felt like placing it here just so you guys can start thinking up some awesome names. I will edit this again once names are being accepted and with the details on how to submit them for consideration.

Many people who have been here for a while know about Faeryl's awesome MagiStream's Birthday Wishlist! thread, but just in case you don't, you should check it out. It's a place to post your dearest birthday wishes so that those who wish to send a little love your way on your special day can get you something you like. If you have not already, I encourage you to post your Birthday Wishlist in that thread, and I shall link to it below. Image

Update for November 24th, 2010, 3:38 pm wrote:I have a couple of things I would like feedback on from the Hope family, as well as those waiting on the PM list. Please understand, this is what I would like to do, but if anyone has a better idea, I am open to hearing it. This lineage is about a family, a family in Hope, and I do not ever want to have to lord (lady?) over it, making and changing rules without your opinions and feedback. That just would not seem right to me. I created the lineage, but I did not create Hope; Hope is the family, it's all of us, and I shall do my utmost to keep it in that spirit always.

The first is the matter of the second gens. When I first started this lineage, I had thought that the 1st gens might be bred mainly to either get the 3rd gens that could breed with other colors, or for personal gifting purposes. Obviously, I did not devote the thought to it that it deserves, but I have indeed been thinking about it since, and I have come to a couple conclusions. I would love to eventually have one from each 1st gen, though obviously this is not required and I fully realize that it will probably not happen. Aside from the obvious emotional/sentimental reasons, I would love to have them in the 3rd gen breeding programme. I have decided that for those who do not have the time to devote to breeding their Hope regularly {or much at all, really} this would count as their one gift. Because the offspring of these imps will be gifted, it's a gift that keeps on giving, so it's only fair. I don't mind someone adopting a Hope baby with the intention of simply cherishing it and not breeding it more than is necessary to get a single egg; that is perfectly fine by me. This lineage was intended to be very personal to each giftee, and if that is all that you want from this lineage, you are more than welcome to cuddle your Hope and only ever get one egg out of it; all that I ask is that you consider allowing me to adopt that one little one so I can ensure that your Hope remains an integral part of the lineage and helps to keep it going. That being said, if you do wish to allow me that honor, I need you to give me small list of names that you would like its name chosen from (please do not name it before sending it?); also, I need to know your cause color ~ I may keep one of the 3rd gens from your 2nd gen at some point, and would like to keep your cause going with them, so if you do not know your cause color, just let me know what meaning this lineage holds in your heart and I will do my best to make sure that any 4th gens I breed from your line will hold to that. Which brings me to my next idea...

Secondly, I have decided that I will only gift 1st gens in future open request periods to people I know and trust. All others gifted will be 3rd gens, or if a different color is requested, 4th gens. There are a number of reasons for this, but the most obvious, of course, is the freedom allowed with the 3rd gen imps that is not permitted for earlier generations in regards to breeding. You can breed your 3rd gen imp with any color imp you like, and in fact I do hope to have ALL colors in the 4th generation. This will, hopefully, keep the breeding scheme of this lineage intact and leave less room for rule-breaking as far as breeding goes. I don't want the breeding rules to be a burden on you guys; as I said, I want this lineage to be very specific to what Hope means to you and what is dearest to your heart, so I want to keep the rules to a minimum while maintaining my own goals for this family to ensure it is kept in the spirit is was created for. Of course, it goes without saying (and therefor simply must be reiterated) that all other rules still apply.

Third is the topic of Nozomi and her miracle-baby, Unconquerable Indomitable Hope. I plan on breeding him only upon special request, and very very rarely (as in, maybe once or twice a year, if ever); his first daughter has been born, and has been appropriately named Sweet Miracle of Hope. Her mother is pink, of course, as I do still wish for all imps in the first 3 generations to be pink, BUT imps from this line are to be bred only in pink + red pairs. If you request an imp from this special branch of Hope and are accepted (it is true, I plan on being VERY picky with these ~ I will explain momentarily), your 4th gen imp will be either pink or red, and the mate you have for it must be the opposite color; pink + red or red + pink pairs only. The reason I would like to do this is simple: I have finally found the perfect way to spread some causes that are very near and dear to my heart. While I will consider any request made for the cause colors listed for pink or red, this particular Hope branch is meant to support the following: infant & child loss, childhood diseases of any kind but especially those listed under the cause colors, abuse of any kind (even self-inflicted), and those affected by murder or extreme violence. It is broad, I know, but not too broad I think, and requests made for these causes shall be given top priority over any others. I also think it fitting that such a lovely story of triumph be dedicated to such heartbreaking causes, and I hope it bolsters the hearts and hopes of anyone affected by such. I would like to thank all of the kind and benevolent souls who have so graciously offered to adopt Nozomi and treasure her as their own. It warms my heart to see the magnanimity of those who so fervently wish to help. However, I decided the moment that I saw what had taken place that, should I be successful in getting her back, she would never again leave my Keep. She will stay with members of Hope in the place of her birth for the rest of her days, as I do no foresee ever parting with her. I may breed her once or twice, but that is highly doubtful. For now, my intention is simply to cherish her in my Keep as she is. I hope you will understand.

My apologies for the humongous update, but it was necessary. Please, feel free to comment in the thread with your feedback; I would really like to get your input. If you would prefer, you can PM me instead, just please let me know how you feel about these proposed ideas. Thank you so much for reading all of this, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Update for November 24th, 2010, 3:38 pm wrote:I have a couple of things I would like feedback on from the Hope family, as well as those waiting on the PM list. Please understand, this is what I would like to do, but if anyone has a better idea, I am open to hearing it. This lineage is about a family, a family in Hope, and I do not ever want to have to lord (lady?) over it, making and changing rules without your opinions and feedback. That just would not seem right to me. I created the lineage, but I did not create Hope; Hope is the family, it's all of us, and I shall do my utmost to keep it in that spirit always.

The first is the matter of the second gens. When I first started this lineage, I had thought that the 1st gens might be bred mainly to either get the 3rd gens that could breed with other colors, or for personal gifting purposes. Obviously, I did not devote the thought to it that it deserves, but I have indeed been thinking about it since, and I have come to a couple conclusions. I would love to eventually have one from each 1st gen, though obviously this is not required and I fully realize that it will probably not happen. Aside from the obvious emotional/sentimental reasons, I would love to have them in the 3rd gen breeding programme. I have decided that for those who do not have the time to devote to breeding their Hope regularly {or much at all, really} this would count as their one gift. Because the offspring of these imps will be gifted, it's a gift that keeps on giving, so it's only fair. I don't mind someone adopting a Hope baby with the intention of simply cherishing it and not breeding it more than is necessary to get a single egg; that is perfectly fine by me. This lineage was intended to be very personal to each giftee, and if that is all that you want from this lineage, you are more than welcome to cuddle your Hope and only ever get one egg out of it; all that I ask is that you consider allowing me to adopt that one little one so I can ensure that your Hope remains an integral part of the lineage and helps to keep it going.

Update for November 21st, 2010, 1:38 pm wrote:It is with a heavy heart and firm resolve that I begin to take steps to reopen Hope. I have sent a note to those I trust, and shortly shall {hopefully} receive guidance on the matter of requests. Please note that the blacklist is being expanded, and very shortly so to shall the rules be. My intention is to limit the 1st generation Hope imps to those I have known here for some time and feel I can trust. Any others who request shall be put on the waiting list for a 3rd or 4th generation imp, depending on the color they would like. Furthermore, I will add in and stress my right to decline to gift Hope should I hesitate in any way to trust that the lineage will be held close to heart by the giftee. In other words, if I have any reason to think that you might abuse this lineage, you will very likely not be eligible to request from it. My sincere apologies to anyone who would respect the idea behind this lineage as it should be but who has broken the rules of others' lineages and therefor get blacklisted here. I hope you understand. I cannot suffer anymore heartbreak for this lineage, it's just too close to my heart, and should another incident like this occur in the future, Hope will be permanently closed to the public.

You guys are amazing, and you do this lineage and all it stands for proud. I don't think I would have had the heart to continue this project if it had not been for all of the heart-felt and heart-warming encouragement I have received, even from users I do not know very well. You guys have been my strength through this, and for that you have my humble gratitude. There is a very special update on page 8 for those of you that have been following the recent catastrophe. I am going to leave it out of the formal announcements, as it relates very specifically to aforementioned events, and is therefore very specifically applicable to those of us here now. Thank you, again, to everyone. Hope {and shortly thereafter, me} would likely have slowly faded away had it not been for you. * :t-hugs: s you all forever* Image

FUNDRAISER FUNDRAISER FUNDRAISER!!!
But not just any fundraiser - I am paying YOU!
Take a look in the Events section now for details on The Great Rat Scramble, and head over to the thread for it if you are interested in helping out. As always, it's all about getting QB imps so that I may breed you guys mates for your Hope babies, so you will benefit two-fold if I can pull this off. I won't be able to do it alone, not by a long shot. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help make this formidable challenge doable and help us secure a permanent source of Hope mates!

It has come to my attention that the imp gifted to Cross97 has changed owners, been bred with a red imp, and the resulting pink egg was frozen. This is a sad, sad day for me. I do not know if I will continue to gift Hope to people that I do not know well enough to trust with the rules, and so for the time being the fulfillment of requests is suspended until further notice. Cross97, you have broken my heart. I realize you cannot control other people, and perhaps I should have added a rule that your Hope imp should never leave your Keep, but this is just too much for me right now. I feel so utterly betrayed...

If you have a QB Imp you might be willing to sell, preferrably unnamed but this is not necessarily required, please PM me with your asking price; I can pay some in gold and some in creatures, but please, be fair.

We have our first 3rd gen! I plan on breeding 2-4 of them so that I can try for whatever color at any given time. Once requests are done, I am going to keep breeding and get a few 1st gens ready, but first I am going to get myself at least one other 1st gen, probably a male. Once I have a small task force to breed with I will be able to keep up with new requests much more easily and will reopen them. This may take some time, but I started this before I was really ready to do it very efficiently, and I shall know better when next I take requests. =) Thank you to everyone for being so patient, you guys are awesome!

     Just wanted to add a couple of things in here - more to come, of course. First of all, on-topic chatting is encouraged. This lineage was created for lost loved ones, and was brought to the MagiStream Family Center to promote a support group of sorts for those who have been touched by loss or who have loved ones that are affected by serious, life-threatening illness. If you have ever lost a family member, or a friend, or a teacher, or a coworker, or a neighbor, or maybe just that one kid in school you said hi to in the hallway even though you didn't know them very well, you are welcome and encouraged to talk about it here. No one here will judge. Most everyone here has been there, or at least somewhere similar. Hope heals, Hope strengthens, and so we shall for each other. There are coalitions for people that speak different languages, for fanclubs and for 9/11, but there is not one for those of us who daily have to face what it means to know that the days we have with some of the most dear people in our lives are numbered. There is not a thread to support those who are watching the health of their loved ones decay each passing day, there is not a thread to share stories of hope and support, of triumph and courage and hope. So here we are. I started, in the very first post in this thread. Please don't be shy about sharing your story as well. *big huggles to you all!* <3
