Shouldn't you put this up on Chat, not Creation?

I have no idea just put it up here for other people to use. I'm kind of new to the site, so sorry if it was.

I think it's a good idea to put it here, for reference, in case anyone wants some help deciding upon their godly parent.

Ok and also if you need anything else done I might be able to help or anyone else, so just letting you know.

Thanks!
