TO ANY PREVIOUS MEMBERS OF THIS ROLEPLAY WHO MAY BE LURKING!

Hi! It's me, Liz! Elizabeth! The cringy Lord knows how old I was back then when I made Kameko and the other various characters on this site! There used to be a chat, but I don't see it anymore. Darn. Yes, I made a new account just so I can post this thread because I'm a weirdo, don't judge me. I remembered about this site and came back to relive all the memories and friends I made here. I'm making this thread to see if those past buddies are still around because I miss you guys! It's been like 80 years since I've last spoken to any of you! So! If you're out there, say hello!

.....by wild, weird coincidence, i was doing a flashback sequence and dug this out of my emails. this is keith, i'm super nonbinary and not cis at all, pronouns are they/them/theirs. i was reminiscing about how 90% of my high school writing was for dude characters and how on one of our forums i basically faked being a dude and loved it, culminating in me caring 0% at all about gender. so, here i am, it's cool to read from you! i'm still a bit stunned at the sheer coincidence of the timing

[liztheauthoress]

Omg sorry I took 80 years to reply back, but adulting ya know. Anyway, hey there, Keith (do you still like Left 4 Dead lmao?)! It’s been so long! I didn’t think anyone would even reply to this! I had the biggest smile on my face when I saw your response~!

[keithbuttransnow]

lmao no prob, i'm now in the same boat. I still love L4D2, but haven't played in a while, haven't had the people or time. I heard they're maybe making a new one, or at least a similar game by the same people? i like splatoon 2 on switch tho! they've got a co-op mode that's got a similar feel to me

(also, i still to this day occasionally get reviews on my old ff.net fic, and i'm continually shocked that there are still people on ff.net reading L4D2 fanfic of all things!)

and yeah, i was pretty shocked to see this too when i went back to poke at the old forum! (and the sheer coincidence of me seeing it not-too-long after posting!) i'd been talking to friends about how much i'd loved these play-by-posts in high school and how much fun i'd had """"pretending to be a dude"""" back before i knew i was trans, and i thought i'd go back and remember those good times. it's super awesome to hear from you again! I hope you're doing well! Hard to believe it's been so many years and we still haven't forgotten! (i had to legit sleuth through my emails to find the url for this board)

(also, proboards doesn't seem to let me "follow" a thread or anything, but i've still got my old email hooked up to my inbox if you'd rather not wait another.......er, four months, to hear from me again :V )

[Liz!!]

Sorry for the super late reply. Also in guest mode because too lazy to log in, haha.

I swear up and down that I'll be on my death bed when Valve finally announces Left 4 Dead 3, and when they do my last tweet before my dying breath will be: "Valve ain't shit." I actually have steam and both L4Ds on it! But because I live in Jason Voorhees town, I have to rely on my phone's hotspot and I don't know how reliable it is for playing online. We can totally add each other though. Oh, and on Switch too! I don't have Splatoon though I've heard it's good. I have Smash Bros but to be honest, it's collecting dust on my desk right now. I swore to only play it if they announce Scorpion or Sub-Zero since they released MK11 on Switch. (A girl can dream c'est la vie~) I've been like obsessed with Fire Emblem and that's the only game I've been playing consistently.

(Omg really? That's amazing. Your stories are so good though! *^*)

Yes, yes! I miss this forum so much and all the friendos we made, so it's awesome to hear from you! I lost contact with Puppet sadly (actually I think he may have a twitter because I know no other person who has Puppet's real name showing up on my twitter's friend suggestions list). I've been well. No better, no worse. Been having life problems I'm trying to get under control, but other than that it's been the usual go to work and make money to pay the bills like the adult that I am. How have you been? Great, I hope!

(I'm not surprised, this site is pretty old. I can wait! I'm replaying Fire Emblem Three Houses as a male this time so I'll be distracted by that and reply back to you in another 30 years lmao)

(Also yes I've heard about the new L4D-style game. The same people are making it, but all I know is that the title is supposedly Back 4 Blood. Either way, I'm excited as heck!)

[liztheauthoress]

Okay, so apparently, you won't be notified that I replied if I'm a guest. MY BAD. At least I know now!

[PuppetColin]

Well dang. Site's still up. What a time capsule.

I'm the long-lost Puppet, back from the mists of antiquity thanks to being found on Twitter. Life's funny like that. In any event, writing and roleplaying are still major parts of my life (Dnd and Pathfinder have long become cornerstones to my hobbies), and I've got myself a fine Switch and PS4. Still play a bit of L4D2, but TF2? Still love it. Love it even more after playing Overwatch for a while.

Nowadays, it's me, my boyfriend, and our shit-lord of a cat. Lifes good. A little lean sometimes, but we manage.

[liztheauthoress]

Right? This low-key makes me want to like, I dunno, start up a forum just like this one, show our old characters love. I wish the chat was still here though. Sigh...

I remember when you popped up on my recommended list and I stared for a long time like, "Wait a minute." It took me up until today to say f*ck it and risk sending you a tweet, haha. I'm so glad it was you, I would have died of embarrassed if it wasn't!

I don't role-play as much (unless writing with your friend counts?), but I'm still actively writing! Kinda. My creativeness is barely there. I have a friend who plays Dnd, he even wanted my help making a character! Dunno what Pathfinder is though, enlighten me please! I have a PS4 too... that's collecting dust under my bed. I, uh, don't play it really. Whoops. I had L4D on my laptop but then Mac updated and Steam didn't work on the latest version so I literally took advantage of Black Friday sales and got a Windows. Sadly, I do not have the internet capable of downloading L4D. Cry, cry. I like Overwatch, I can certainly see the appeal it has, but it will never top TF2. The mercs are just too lovable.

Sounds like a nice life! -wistful sigh- Kitty?! I have two! I should show y'all a picture of them!
