Three Years have passed, and I...

[Bloomiecurse]

... would like to share what brought me here and what will keep me here...

& I would like to be the first ...

Three years? Oh my, suddenly I feel really, really old.

You know? This site has seen me in so many stages, phases and parts of my life. It watched me grow into a nice, pretty, kinky woman and I'm grateful for that (Yes, it's Thanksgiving, let's be grateful).

When i started here I had a very blah real life and it was more excited to spend the time here, with friends, that outside with almost friends. But I must admit, suddenly the years passed by and slowly I've blended the two words together (Anyone remember Marisol? My real life best friend in Ewac, amazing ). But then real life became stressful, drowing me into numbers, love-hate relationships, and no time to listen to my muse... But I always come back, naturally.

So, apart from the fact that you made me feel so so old (three years! I was a baby of 18-17 when this started!!), it made me realize how fast this has become. And I don't dare to think about before Ewac because then I'll have a heart attack. But there's so much I've shared in this place, so so much,and so many good friends that know me much better than the real life friends and that someday I'll meet .

I just won't forget about this place.



And I'm so cheesy..!!

woah, time's moving fast when you're having fun...

I don't think I've been here for the full three years, but I joined very early in 2004, so that's almost 3 years. yay me.

I honestly can't remember how I ended up here... I remember that Ursi had a EWAC banner on the user info page of her livejournal, and one day I clicked it, just because I was curious. That's how I got here, I think. I'm not sure how Ursi ended up on my friends list, but oh well

When I first came here I was a LorT fanatic, just like most of us here. I even started writing my own LotR crossover fic (anyone remember Out of Middle-earth? shame the inspiration died on me...). The fan craziness lessened eventually, but I've loved reading the fantastic works of fiction by our talented authors ever since. I must have been around a lot, because at one point I was made a moderator!

Yeah, that's right. I used to take care of the fan arts section, until real life got very demanding and thus my general interest in being online died for six months or so.

But I couldn't forget the fun I had on this site... the discussions, the gushing in the 'hotties' threads, the stories... so I came back. Not to mention that it was here that I found the link to my favourite RP site ever, ATOR.

So I came back... and I started and finished my first story (Requiem for a lonely heart). Woot, I made it to the library!!!

I also love the fact that I've made a bunch of great email/msn/rp buddies on this site. I'll certainly stick around for another three years!

Gosh, 3 years already?!

I joined May 2005 and I had my friend Alli (aka 4everelijah) introduce me to this place. This is one of the best Fanfiction and etc. websites around. I am a member (non participant) of Fanfiction.net and I got tired of the people over there and how cruel they were about yuor work and how critical they were. Then I came over here and everyone is so nice about what you do and give you nice criticism not the "your work sucks and stop writing" critcism, like I got over at Fanfiction.net.

I do still like Fanfiction.net, but not for writing more for reading. There were nice people on there but not many. That I think is why I love this place so much and am glad I found it.

I hope to meet everyone I made friends with on here someday and you all are really inspirational and comforting and caring people and I hope we will still be around 30 years from now.

A bit lat, but congradulations on your 3rd anniversary!!!


I have been here for less then a year but yet some of the people have managed to wiggle themselves in my heart.

I love to spend time online to read (and feel guilty afterward if I have too run and can't review properly) This board inspired me too write my first full length story in my life. And even if I am battling the dreaded writers block right now, the kindness of the people here keep me coming back every couple of days.
Tonight I shall be a good reader again and review on all the stories I haven't been able to give the proper attention too.

I still love it after nearly a year and I hope to be around for a long time to come
