Hello Lugnet,
My name is Molly Friedrich. I was a regular poster a few years ago under my old
name, although things have changed a lot for me and I needed some time to
process everything.
Some may have considered me an innovator in the space and mecha communites. I
helped to found the NILTC. I was also known for my Star Wars MOCs, many of
which won awards and I was lucky enough to be able to send a minifigure scale
Sandcrawler MOC to Celebration II by special request of FBTB.
I wanted you guys to know my galleries are back up:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=mollyfriedrich
I am not returning to Lego as a hobby just yet. I simply put my images back
online because I found some small amount of discussion on a Lego fan board
regarding my MOCs being deleted off Brickshelf (specifically the Benevolent
Grace), and the concensus seemed to be that it was unfortunate. I am sorry, I
honestly didn't think anyone would notice, but the error in judgement is now
fixed.
I don't know if I'll ever feel comfortable posting here or building Lego MOCs again but I wanted to let you know I do miss it a little and my partner Vanessa and I attended NWBrickcon last weekend and enjoyed seeing all the wonderful creations. She is interested in Lego and may eventually pull me into the hobby with her. Personally... I dunno, I didn't feel welcomed at all by the NWBrickcon by the AFOLs who I recognized there, and honestly I don't really blame you individually that much. I understand it's probably very hard to "get" if you haven't ever felt what I feel. All I ask is that you please respect me enough to call me by my real name (the name I am posting under now), and use the correct pronouns if you are going to talk about me.
I just want people to know I had no unusual ulterior motives, and that I am
comfortable now and living a happy life with the love of my life, Vanessa. I
work at a grocery store in Seattle, and if anyone there knows what I have been
through in my life or has a problem with it, they haven't shown it.
thanks for your time, and happy building!
Molly

| Hey Molly Just wanted to say that I like your stuff, some of your designs is really interesting and unusual. I hope you'll get back into Lego/Space again, there's a new forum around, CSF, with a lot less history and mostly new people (like me) that (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)

| Hey Molly, I've always been a fan of your mocs, especially Port Saturn and the S.E.T. Let me just echo the others by saying that I hope you pick up the hobby again and continue to bring the noise. If nothing else, maybe you'll feel comfortable (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.people)

| Molly, welcome back. I never really felt like I got to know you before and always have been a fan. I'm actaully a little ashamed that I didn't really get a chance to say hi at NWBrickCon. But then I like to run around a lot. If you decide to show up (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.people)

I particularly liked (URL) this> little one, because if (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)

| Welcome back Molly! I for one missed your work immensely. You are definitely an innovator in many LEGO themes. I still think your spaceships are some of the finest ever built. I'm glad you made this post and I'm glad you put your stuff back up. I (...) (18 years ago, 14-Oct-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)
