FAQQ. "Ok, so what is Misty n' Friends anyway?"
A. Misty n' Friends is an adoptables website run by me and my wolf character, Misty. It's a fun little hobby of ours and a great way for me to practice drawing, writing, and animation, three things I love to do. The community I have created has become a place for people to enjoy the fruits of my labor and just have fun with the many chats, games and RPGs that the forum and website provide. Me keeping it family-friendly is just a bonus for those who want a little break from the other not so cheerful places in Cyberspace, and I plan to keep it that way! Q. "Ooh. So, how did Misty n' Friends start?" A. It all started on a quiet evening on October 17th, 2010. I was feeling rather sickly and wanted to test out my new graphite pencil. So I told my little friend Misty my idea, she posed for me, I drew her, and Misty n' Friends was born! Well...it sort of goes like that. The newer, 2011 Misty n' Friends was started 1st of September, 2011. The lines were cleaner and more proportioned, full backgrounds left us and were replaced by single pictures. There were a lot of changes in how you got pups as well. And finally, in October 2013, MnF v3 was born! The final (I hope...) installment of my little hobby. New species were added, lines were changed, and the ways of adopting molded to fit the lives of busier people. Q. "Who are you?" A. Throughout Cyberspace I am known as Heather (or Selly). I am under twenty years of age, am female, Christian, and live somewhere in the USA. Because of safety I can't be more specific than that, but hey! I'm just your regular teenage girl. I love art, writing, wolves, cute stuff, cookies and Cookie Monster. Anyway, I am the admin of the website. I do all the art, writing, designing and moderating, with a bit of help from my siblings, friends and Misty from time to time. Q. "Wait...who's Misty?" A. Misty is a character of mine. She’s a seven year old wolf puppy with a thirst for adventure and a hunger for cookies! Misty is the mascot and co-admin of Misty n’ Friends (she's the puppy with the orange mask on the logo). The adoptables are named after her and if it wasn’t for Misty, there would be no such thing as Misty n’ Friends adoptables. She often goes on my accounts and posts for me, but that’s alright. I don’t mind. :3 Q. "How do I adopt?" A. There is a step-by-step on the Adoption Den page, but here's a very quick run through. 1. Go the Adoption Den. 2. Explore the Adoption Den and see which critters are available for adoption. Once you find a pet that strikes your fancy, proceed to step 3. 3. Fill out the provided form. 4. Send it in, and wait! I will announce who got which pup and send in those that are certed. Q. "So I know how to adopt, but when I get my pet, what do I do with it?" A. Nothing! MnF pets are meant to be low maintenance adoptables. They do not need clicks or food to keep them happy, unlike some other websites. It's really just like having a collection. You can write with them (like in RPGs or stories) or dress them up with Items from the store, but aside from that, they're just there to look pretty. ;) Q. "So aside from wolves, what other critters can I adopt?" A. As of MnF v3, you can now adopt dragons, gryphons and unicorns! There are also sometimes other animals too, like bunnies and mice, but you only see these with Furry Friends. New species will be added once a year on MnF's birthday. For example, Unicorns were introduced on MnF's 4th Birthday in 2014! Q. "What do these adoptables look like?" A. You can see some examples if you look on the Adoption Den page. You can also spot some in the Critter Caves and the MnF Forums. Remember, you are not allowed to copy or steal any of these images for any reason. That's illegal! Q. "Ok. So I was looking at the examples of the adoptables and I saw one that has (insert abnormal wolf/gryphon/dragon quality)! What?!?" A. Ah, you must have seen a critter that is a different Type! Types are a bit like individual breeds might be for dogs. There are four known different types. Here they are in a nutshell; Superior: A Superior is a certain type that has a "super power" of sorts. Like a Superior with the power of invisibility, you will see the pup turn invisible! Cool huh? They are the rarest of the four Types, and are often the most sought after. You can tell your pet is a Superior if they have a little symbol to the right of their picture. Elemental: The second rarest of the Types. Elementals have the ability to "control" an element, such as fire. Misty is a Mist Elemental, so she can control or turn into Mist! You can tell your pup is an Elemental if their animation controls an element, or if they turn into their element (such as a Snow Elemental turning into a snow pup). Mutant: Mutants are the most varied of the Types. They are the second most common, and probably the most unique! You can tell your pup is a Mutant if they have...well...a mutation! Something like two-tails, wings, or antlers are a tell-tale sign. Simple: Simples are your normal adoptables. They are the wolves with no crazy powers, or your dragon without the weird fins or spikes. They are the normal ones, basically (but oddly enough, they often have the craziest designs!) Q. "Wow, so these pets aren't just your regular wolves/mythical creatures?" A. Nope! They come from a place called Lunaryk located far, far, far away. I made the place up shortly after MnF v2. It adds a bit of uniqueness to the place, and if you want to learn more, there's lots of info on the forum! Q. "Speaking of the forum, how do I join it?" A. That's a little harder, unfortunately. Since you can chat with people on the forum, I need to be very careful of who I invite so that it stays a safe, friendly environment. The best way to join? Every now and then I'll open up the sign ups and accept new members, so you have to choose the right time! Even then, I make sure you will follow the rules before letting you join. Safety first! Q. "Changing the subject here a bit, are these pets always free?" A. Most of the time they are! Right now none of them cost any real money, but every now and then I may require some online currency (such as DeviantArt points or MnF Dirshe, for example). The grand majority of the time though, the only payment necessary is your effort in adopting. :) Q. "Can I have a wolf with sparkle eyes and an afro with a cool scarf and..." A. Sure you can! But uh...not normally, sorry. See, I spend lots of time designing these critters, and I cannot always have the time to design commissions, because they are very special and I want to do my best on them. Therefore, knowing that, mind if you wait until I have the time and announce it? When that time comes, you can design your dream pet to your hearts content, friend. Q. "Sounds good. So tell me, why are all these creatures babies?" A. Hm...Well, the site is called Misty n' Friends, so logically most of her friends will be her age, which is roughly around 7. However, like with Family Packs and such, you will find adult wolves. Dragons and Gryphons not so much because well...as adults those species are kind of a danger to wee little wolf pups. You never know, though, you may see one sometime. Q. "That makes sense. I have another question for you..." A. Can't find the answer to your question here?

- You may post your adoptables in other websites as long as there is a link back to this website and the copyright information is still visible.
- You may rename your pets as long as you have a Collar Item.
- You are more than welcome to give them personalities, backstories, likes, dislikes, etc. Go crazy!
You may not...
- You cannot remove, edit, or cover the copyright sign on the image of your pet in any way.
- You cannot edit, alter or change your pet/item's image in any way. This includes text, design, name, etc (including in RPGs).
- You are not allowed to make your own version of Lunaryk and it's creatures unless I allow it with my (Heather/Misty's) written permission. (This does not include characters for RPGs hosted on the MnF forums.)
- You may not trade your MnF Adoptables for other adoptables, items or collectibles of any sort. (MnF Items however may be traded during trading season, which will be announced)
- You may not resell your pets for any sort of currency (real or fake).
- You may not use them for public use (such as writing a book with them in it that you expect to publish).
- Fake pets (such as a dream design or canon character) may not be used anywhere outside of the MnF forums. If you are using a fake pet for an RPG (on the MnF forums) you must say the pet is fake or a dream design.
A few important notes on caring for your pet...
- It is strongly suggested to save your friend onto your computer in case they run away (they love unexpected adventures). It is not guaranteed that I will have a back-up of your pet. They need a home!
- If you decide to leave the website, please notify me about whether or not you would like to keep your pets. It is not required to gift your pets if you quit the site, however, it is required to remove any images/links of your pets that you own if you are giving them away. Pets that will be given away may be gifted to someone else (please let me know) or donated to the website. Those donated will be re-sold through the Pound.
- Note that any gifted/donated pets may not be returned to you if you decide to come back to the site.
- If you decide to add an accessory to your critter (such as a scarf or a balloon) please note that I will not be able to remove it. Any changes you make to your pet through MnF Items or Accessories are permanent (they become very attached to their belongings).
- If your pet if feeling sick (such as the animation isn't working or the image messes up) please let me know so I can take him to the Healers and he can get better!
Follow these guidelines and your pet will be happy, healthy, and have tons of fun with you!

reason. - Do not remove, edit, or cover the copyright sign on the image of your pet in any way.
- Do not modify your pet or item pictures in any way. You can, however, use the images to make banners, avatars and stamps (but please ask me first).

A Note to the Grown-Ups
Dear Parents,
My website is but a small corner in the vast land of the internet, but I have made it a point to make it safe, friendly, and fun for all ages. I am not an adult myself, and this website is merely a hobby, but with it I hope to spread some good around a place where it can be hard to find sometimes.
On Misty n' Friends, you can use your talents to adopt virtual animated pets for free! These pets are only around to look pretty, really, but they can also be used as characters for stories and for members to have fun giving them personalities and such. Members participate in regular sales, and in between sales there may be events such as scavenger hunts, contests, and raffles.
Misty n' Friends is hosted by weebly, which at the moment does not support log in systems, so until then, members do not sign up with an official account. Instead, members can sign up via two options;
1. For one, they can sign up via mailing list, which requires them to provide an email address. For the minors, they must receive your permission to be able to use an email. However, if they do not receive it and still sign up, I have no way of being the wiser. Any email I receive will not be abused, shared, nor used for any reason other than to adopt pets.
2. The second option is to sign up to the MnF forums (hosted by proboards). This does not require a real email, and is strictly moderated by me. It is kept just as kid-friendly as this website. However, not everyone can join the forum, so this is not always an option.
On this website, members are very limited when it comes to chatting, so if you are worried about your child talking to their fellow members, they are perfectly safe if they stay on this side of the Hangout. At the MnF Forums
(misty-n-friends.proboards.com) members can chat and message each other. Though as mentioned, it is still strictly moderated.
As an added bonus, my website is mommy approved! My mom as well as other relatives frequently give me tips and feedback to ensure it's just as friendly as it is fun. :)
If you have any questions of comments you may contact me at [email protected]
I hope you as well as your child(ren) will enjoy what my Hangout has to offer. :)
