Old?..no.
It only means that you are a seasoned writer. Damn though..none of those sites I wrote on. I may have visited them when they may have gotten advertised on the boards I wrote on. Yes, many of my boards allowed other boards to advertise, as long as they gave up the same courtesy.
Ok..let me see... *The * Gungan * Council*, Circle of Healers, SW Tales/EPIC, The Oaken Dawn and more than I have time to write. Two of the boards required writers to post chapter size replies. Loved those boards dearly. Then there was this one Gothic one called The Savage Garden. I loved writing as a vampire there. Anyway, there were other affiliated boards I'd visit and would always run into fellow friend writers. Sadly, they are all dead.
No..not the writers...God no. The boards. The boards all all dead now. Some still exist, but rarely do they get visited anymore. They are like dead corpses..decaying away. Then of course, our hosting sites got hacked a few times too....adding to their final demise...
Gah!...Oh well, life and imagination for some just can't stay dormant for too long. I too thought for nearly two yeas that I was done...and stopped visiting my former playgrounds.
Then about two, three weeks ago I posted on an old dead board and
WHALA!..
.a good fellow writer messaged me there and a week later (about two weeks ago) here I found myself.
Wouldn't you know it, a few of my fellow writers had made it here years before! God I had missed them.
Ok, so that's the short version of my story. Only because Its way past my bedtime and I'm too tired to write a few chapters explaining EVERYTHING...
Lucky you.
