Hey everyone,
So I'm sitting here on my laptop browsing and I stumble upon a proboards link, nostalgia really hard, and end up back here.
I noticed you all had your reunion already, but if any of you guys wanna contact me my AIM is m1schiefmanaged and my email is inkd@ccs.neu.edu
Send me a message, it'd be cool to see where you guys ended up after what, five years now?

Ha ha, Hey Raist. Been a long time dude. I was just surfing, and wound up here myself. I drop in every great once and a while. Psyched about the new Elder Scrolls game coming this year. Thinking of reviving this place, and starting a new. Just watching the trailer for that game brings back my inspiration for stories, and memories of the good times in the OSWG.

This place has been 'revived' countless times, and it's still dead. There was no reunion.
Anyway, good to read something new on here from you guys.

Its true Dagoth. Plus reviving would take nothing short of a complete overhaul, and I just couldn't do that to this place. Wouldn't be the same. I leave it as it is, a memory of good times, good stories, and good people. Just thankful that I had the chance to be a part of it.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. Starting a new forum I think is more realistic, yet still unlikely. Even if we get could a few of the original members back, that would be good. It won't be a golden-era OSWG clone, but we could drop in every now and then and share some thoughts, and see whats new with everyone.

Well if any of you ever try to start a new forum, send me an invite, and I'll drop in. I just don't have the time to create my own right now. Or run it at least. lol

I was struck by a bit of nostalgia seeing as I still think about this place from time to time and I'm finally sitting back down and writing again. It's cool seeing people I actually remember have been around recently.
I'll keep a bookmark and check in occasionally to see if anyone's stopped by. I've got a couple sites like that already. One more won't hurt anything.

Hey guys. Just droppin in. Skyrim comes out tomorrow night for me. Made me think about the series in general, and how it started this place. Glad your writing again Delta. I have to admit, I've fallen in the trap of having things get in the way of that for me, but I've started again as well. Actually been working on the story that brought me to this place in the first place. Just going to try to throw skyrim in to the mix.
Hope everyone's doing well. I'll be checking in here time to time as well.

I always come across this place whenever I am cleaning out my book-marks. I can never seem to delete it, though. ;_;
Death, did you ever get that one story published? You know the one I am talking about. You know you do.
Anyway, Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.

Hey everyone, hope everybody is doing well.
No Uesugi. Unfortunately, I did not. As often seems to happen, life got in the way. Have five kids now and another due this month though, lol. That complicates things, as I need silence to write. Still finding the time every now and again though. I'll get it all done. Just taking longer than I had planned.
How about yourself? Your writing was always impressive to say the least.

Six children? Mein Gott, Death. How do you find the time to take care of them all?
As for my own writing, I've not tried excessively hard to get published yet. I don't know that I'm ready. ^^;
I hope everyone else (well, anyone who sees this) is doing well.

ah, guess it was that time again to drop in on the old guild. I hope everyone is doing well.
It's a lot of work Uesugi, they definitely keep me busy, but I couldn't be happier as far as home life is concerned. I've been finding some time to write at night now, and most of the kids have school, but I'm usually to tired to do anything then. Been a long time since I've done any serious writing though, went back to basics. Mostly just been working on short stories, or doing writing exercises to work off the rust.
Ah, I wish I could find another place like this used to be. A lot of inspiration, and motivation back in those days. Still never found a group like ours, probably never will. Helps to have people who are interested in what your working on, and looking forward to reading what you write. My wife encourages what I do, but she's never read anything of mine before. lol.
It's good that your still writing. Never realized how hard it is to return to projects you started and abandoned many years ago. Feels like starting over. Sometimes a fresh start is all someone needs though.
See ya around guys. May your life be pleasant, and may your TOAST!! be ever crispy. ;D

Hey OGRen. What's up?
Death, if you ever want someone to read your work, just drop me a PM with your e-mail, or something. I'd be more than happy to.
As for finding a small community of encouraging/inspiring writers, I agree: it's hard. Despite my frustrations with this place, it was nice whilst it lasted. Most of the forums I've found out there have been either super serious to the point of being discouraging, or rather small and already entrenched in their own community attitudes. It'd be nice to find a forum with the casual feeling that this place had plus a few more serious writers.
Then again I seem to kill whatever writing community I seriously participate in, so maybe I shouldn't go around joining any. ^_^
