I think OP means applied for full citizenship, not long-term resident.  (Though TBH, I'm not sure of the difference myself...)

Is anyone else having a problem with DF consistently crashing when it reaches the maximum number of gen'ed years and tries to offload?  Stopping the gen any time before it reaches the end seems to work.

In an excess of safety, I made sure to sell the book we had called 'Ignorance Explained', which detailed the uselessness of knowledge.

I sold it to the elves.

I built chests in my library, which is listed as one of its desired items.  My blank quires are stored in those chests.  Once they are written on, they are stored on the shelves.

I've had a metric ton of human bards and some dwarven bards, but the only animal men are the Wolverine Men who wandered in and tried to steal things.  They are all now in the corpse pile out in the woods.  I notice sentient corpses no longer go into the refuse pile, though... interesting new change.

Slidewheel was founded in the spring of 1050.  7 dwarves were on their way from the capital to a little-known outpost when, in the midst of a marshy field near the sea, they discovered a hill of stone.  Bones were strewn around the entrance, and items placed far above the reach of any dwarf (or man, for that matter) demonstrated clearly that a giant, ettin, cyclops or some other enormous beast dwelled in the cave which was visible leading into the depths.

The miners recognized clear signs of mineral wealth all around.  Iron-bearing pebbles were found, indicating the presence of hematite below, and even some scattered traces of gold and nickel.  The current inhabitant would have to be... dealt with, but it was quickly determined that it would be a crime to waste such an opportunity.  The miners dug a level down and struck bauxite.  With that red stone, the masons were able to fashion some hatch covers and blocks.  The entrance to their bolthole was covered, and Operation Cage The Beast was begun.  An exploratory tunnel to the north brought them almost to the edge of the caves.  A narrow stair was carved, leading down into the depths.  A few levels down, below the omnipresent aquifer which blocked digging outside the rocky cave area, the wall of the cave was pierced.  Quickly, a floor was built over the ramp leading down.  The Cyclops (for so it was... later research established that this very rocky promontory had been the lair of Cor Glittersculptures the Vigor of Steel for over 900 years.  Yes, in their ignorance, the initial dwarves had stumbled upon the dreaded lair of the beast, renowned in dwarven legends as Aurahole the Mines of Puke.)

Now that the beast was temporarily at bay, work began on the actual fort.  The rocky outcropping was soon home to several comfortable rooms.  Iron was being mined below.  The first level of caverns had been found, and the cyclops' path was blocked from below as well.  Now a proper fort could be begun on the shores of the Deep Sea.  Slidewheel was prospering.  But these were early days, and the troubles had only just begun...

As I said a while back, I suspect that save corruption is all that COULD kill Doomforests at this point.  It's only about 1 XP away from taking on its own sentience and playing US.  Let's leave before that happens.

Yes, as noted it has to be a thinking being corpse to produce a bad thought.  Unfortunately, such corpses can be extremely fragmentary... even a goblin tooth can produce horror from "seeing a dead goblin".  How they know that one tooth is a goblin tooth is a mystery only Toady can explain.  This is why battle-flung bits in trees can produce bad feelings for years and years unless you track them all down.  Which is a chafe.
