The Harvest Queen by ~Mars-Frog:iconMars-Frog:



Stepping into the city of Flowerbud, a lost soul I am.
Where do I go? How do I live? Who do I see?
I have no axe, no seed, no friend, no plan!
Just my dog and five cents of G’

Until I see her, under the mystic light of the Harvest Moon where she stands.
Granting me my desires with her wisdom
Showing me the way of the village and the lands.
Helping me with every challenge as they come – and I am but one…

Across the lands of the Harvest Moon she flies
Sharing her know-how all around
Answering all the mysteries in everyone’s lives
Acting as a guiding light – forever bound.

Seeking out every secret big and small
Which wine does Karen love? Which mine floor does the Mythic Ore lie? Where’s the last power berry?
Whenever we’re all baffled, she will answer the call.
“Wild Grape, level 54, hidden in Pascal’s Ferry”

My farm is now complete
Inside my mansion do my wife and child sing
My barns filled with cows, chickens, and sheep
All of this into my wonderful life did she bring


The Harvest Queen, Freya.

I made this for a guide writer named Freyashawk. She is one of the most dedicated guide makers I've ever met, and also a good friend. She works on the Harvest Moon and Rune Factory games (and a few others). This may not sound like much at first, but when I say she works, I mean hours upon hours of writing down every bit of text, figuring out every event and game mechanic, and going through the game at slow grueling pace that no gamer would enjoy. Can you imagine, resetting the game several times just to figure out one single event and getting nowhere within the game itself? I honestly don't know many with as much dedication for their work.

Oh, and did I mention that she does it all on her own time and doesn't get paid? Yeah... because she's just awesome like that.

This is merely a small show of appreciation for all that she's done for the benefit of others. She has both a blog on Blogger and a Youtube channel where you can find her guides and video guides respectively.

I am a long time fan of Harvest Moon and recently got into Rune Factory with the Wii game. They're great games, especially if you like Animal Crossing or The Sims. Speaking of which... I think I'm going to go play some more now... :)

Mars the Frog!
Thank you for writing this poem about our dear Freya. I luv her too and am also grateful for her tireless dedication to the game and to her fans. She has helped me out of many a jam, and has always answered my questions with integrity and grace.
Sincerely, ILuvHM

Welcome to the site. There's some nice HM and RF fanart around here if you look around. :)

Yes, I wanted to do something for Freya after all the painstaking work she's done, and because she's been a good friend to me. I actually tried taking down an event for her and found it to be a very slow and tedious process... I couldn't do that like she does.

Some one evidently took my name on DeviantART, so I had to register with this one. Mars, you are an amazing friend. Thank you for your tribute. I hope I can continue to live up to it!

Hello Freya. I'm glad you like it. You're free to post it wherever you want - it's for you after all.

Oh yes, me too. It was very tedious, and I gained a new-found respect for her because of it. It takes all the enjoyment out of the game to be on constant watch at every conversation and every event. blech! So Here's to Freyashawk!

em, I thought that smiley was bowing as in "We're not worthy!" Or as in "All Hail!" Or even as in "You da Woman!" oops.
