on leave from work and at home: on fanstuff;

I've been feeling nostalgic over my old fandoms lately. I think it's because in the course of transferring stuff from the playroom to the shelves outside, I've managed to unearth fics from the best writers in who I usually just refer to as the MDTAS group. And while it might be more on sentiment than anything else, I can't help but think and wish that there was a way to bring it all back. I mean, sure, my fics back then were embarrassingly Sue-ish, but it was fun and the people I did meet didn't really care all that much if your characters were thinly veiled versions of yourselves.

I guess I miss that. Just. Y'know. The FUN.

So yes. I set up the page a couple of days ago: MDTAS at FanHistory.com

Figured if I can't contribute anything else worthwhile (since fic is just... shot and dead, really), I might as well try to compile as much as I can. And maybe get other people interested and stuff.

So yeah. Posted a thread on this on the Cool As Ice messageboard. I always feel so embarrassed when I pop up there. I have this horrible habit of dropping out of sight shortly after; then again, I haven't kept up with who is still around and who isn't and that warrants it's own sheepishness right there.

Talked to Kam le_chatnoir on the phone and told her how much I miss writing for this. Naturally, she's encouraged me to write again, since talking about the characters and stuff always gets me wistful and stuff. I'm thinking I might. Revamping my old OCs won't hurt anyone anyway.



So anyway. I know I don't really get to talk to all of you anymore. But once upon a time I did, almost eight years ago, and yeah. Just wanted to give a feeble shoutout to all the people I knew from the MD-fandom back then: miss you all. Seriously.
