Hello all,

You may or may not remember me. I was an avid poster on these boards about between 2007-2009. One particular topic I was involved was was a running story between several other members and myself. Unfortunately due to other commitments we all sort of went our separate ways and it fell into neglect.

Well I had a dream last night about this story. And I missed it.

So I want to know where my fellow posters ended up. Im starting this topic with links to all the threads. I hope some of you who never knew us read our story, and I hope others who may have read the odd post back in the day are reminded of us.

This is a really cool idea. And I do remember you silly!

I have been neglecting these boards sadly. Since last I posted on the Special Branch threads i've moved from the north west to the south east of England to live with Simonwho, who I think still posts here infrequently. We've both pretty rapidly got our domestic on - we've bought a cat called Faran, talked about bills, argued about furniture and gone on holidays and all that couply stuff.

It not all been great though. About the time I left I had something of a breakdown and ended up being off from work for a long time before leaving it completely. I'm now volunteering a little and doing my best to get sane again. Or, you know, just about sufficiently sane to be a productive member of society (or at least to fake it).

I'm not sure I could get back into the story, but I should spend more time here - I do miss this place!

Whoa!! While I never forgot about this thread, I hadn't thought about it in a while, thanks for reminding me WISP!

Yes, I have finished my book... per se, in that I've finished the First draft and am firmly entrenched in the drudgery of the Second draft. Cleaning, polishing and getting it ready to submit to publishers. To that end, my head will not allow me to read while I'm immersed in the world of my book.

How's University going WISP?

Seryn, glad to see you're still about and while I'm happy for your move and all the 'couply stuff', I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. I hope you rebound with your familiar grace and poise.

Aw, you wouldn't believe how much grace and poise I really don't posess!

I'm doing fine, worry thee not. A little while and i'll be back on form.

Congratulations on the book! the second draft may be drudgery but you are already leagues ahead of many other aspiring writers - yey you!

And yes, WISP - how is college?

Hey, I'm here. Yes, of course I remember you, WISP.

The Sereni-Tree thread is still going... sorta.

As for me, I bought a house this year.

Seryn, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope things work out well for you.

Heh. And no wonder SimonWho has been absent lately.

Hey
It's really good to hear from you all.
Sorry to hear about your stresses, Seryn, but glad you're doing ok at the minute, taking things one day at a time. Hope things get back to normal soon
Safe, that's great to hear. I knew you were really progressing with your writing, so glad to hear you've finished the first draft of your novel. You'll have to let us know when it's complete and published, we can all get round to buying a copy!
And TRM, bought a house? Go you!
Everybody's been so busy, feel like I've accomplished next to nothing in comparison.

Just been work as usual for me, went to a convention and met Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin and a bunch of stars from Dollhouse/Chuck and Buffy. And got a couple more coming up this year which I'm looking forward too.
Other than that I just been writing. I joined in the NaNoWriMo competition in november but never managed to complete the 50000 word quota due to a busy social month, managed to reach just under 30000, but I intend to return the story soon. Perhaps I too could finally make headway on my goal of writing a novel!
In the meantime I've still been writing stories involving around Needy and the characters of Special Branch/Serenitree even if the threads have dried up lately.
I've abandoned the larger story (set during the recent thread and flashing back to Needy's past, and forward to his future) for the time being in favour of going back to a story I started a while back and never really finished - the Needy's Destiny prequel. I'm really enjoying it still, but it's just taken a while to complete, and I'm trying to weave it into the Firefly/Serenity storya bit more so it's a matter of making it all fit with the complicated arc.

Needless to say, I've never really forgotten about this thread, in fact it's been my hope that we can get it started up again in the near future, it was always so much fun.

Perhaps when everybody else, or at least a few, are able. We can put some new stuff out there, whether it's a direct continuation of the previous thread, or a "one year later" sort of deal
If not, well then at the very least it will be really great to catch up with all of you.

Congrats on the new house TRM! More space or just better location?

Needy, the NaNoWriMo is a grueling competition. The facilitators from my courses have metioned it. It's good to getting rough copy done. If you're like me, I think too much. It has to be just right before I'll even put pen to paper. Yeah, I'm strange but...

You got a lot further than I would've. Hell I'm just now approaching 60,000 words and that's 14 months worth of writing.

Seryn, Grace and poise entail more than just co-ordination. From what I know of you, trust me, you have both.

Wisp, how could I forget you? Or any of this, for that matter.

I've been working retail for a year, so my time in front of a computer has diminished. Now that I have returned to the office world, maybe I can show up more often. I've been up in Niagara Falls, New York for the past week, to be with my Aunt who passed away Saturday night and we buried today, but once I get home, I'd be more than happy to start more trouble here.

As far as other writing goes, the day I can stick to one idea and write it all out will be wonderful.

Forget about this site? No way! I did stop posting but I did think about the stories we made while I was still actively involved. Since I stopped posting I moved from the east coast to Kansas to help out my sis, got a new job and I am now attending an online college for a BS in Communication studies.
