Well, crap. I just got all sentimental. I haven't been a regular on this site in a long while, and after a few minutes of cruising around, I began to realize how many friends I had back then that I've lost. It sucks. Back in the glory days of FFF.net, when Zol posted his musings, when Hotpoint ruled the fanfic world, when Fredep, CosmicFugitive, and many others passed the time in the chatroom called the Juggled Gosling. I dunno why I'm posting. I just miss it all.

I may be relatively new to FFF.net, but I know the feeling just the same. Makes you want to curl up in a ball, cry, and .. uummm... *cough* I mean life goes on, I keep looking toward the horizon and I won't stop til life stops me.

And Destiny used to be the funniest thread going... well at least I thought so.

CastIronJack posted another fanfic a little while back. Hadn't heard from him in ages.

I know there's still some oldtimers around. Browncoat1 is still prolific, InevitableBetrayal (formerly Causal), Msckaren, Msg, Chrisisall,... others...

At least, I think they still are.

Huh. I was just thinking the same thing last night...

BadgersHat, Ebonezer, Zoid (don't nearly see enough of him - or you, if you're reading this - around here), and more... and Gunhand..... aw, Gunny...! I miss him...

Mostly lurked back then, but there were a lot of good folk who posted a lot of funny and thought provoking things. *sigh* Damn nostalgia.

*goes back to lurking*

I started lurking in January of 2003 and finally joined in September of 2005. There are some from "yesteryear" that drop in from time to time, but there are those who have just... moved on. Even last year seems like an eternity ago at times.

I still merrily frequent fff.net, but it is not the same fff.net that turned me on to my first fandom ever at age 41 (then). What a fantastic and eclectic group of people! You all rock (still).

Prolific? Don't reckon I've ever been called that before. Thanks.

I'm still around, and even manage to post when I think I can add something to a conversation.

I understand what SoulofSerenity means about old friends dropping off the radar. Here's some of those I miss:

Channain
Astriana
TeelaBrown
Saint Jayne
Zoid
SevenPercent
Static
Ebonezer
Litwolf689
BayBreeze1
Serena
Canton
Malicious
Mantichorus
Blinker
Badgershat
TheReaver
Succatash
ManiacNumberOne
Physchick
Csteinme
Hardy
Spookyjesus
Gunhand
Wydraz
MisguidedByVoices
GorramReavers


I know life pulls us away or in different directions, but I miss these browncoats. I am sure I have missed a few, and for that I apologize.

Here's hoping they find their way home.

Bumping back to the top.

You are all missed. Hope you can make it home soon.
