Previous Clubs

[Patrick]

First Pern club (sometime in 2003): Seventh Pass Weyrs
I joined them mostly because I was young and they had semi decent names and lenient persona rules.  I made a bronzerider and posted once before I lost interest.  I'm kind of glad to find that he is still a bronzerider though they changed his name and killed off one of his flits.  I didn't like the club because of its "one metallic" rule, you could either only have a metallic dragon or a metallic flit, not both.

Second Club (summer of 2005): Fithos Weyr
I liked this one again for its not so weird name and the close knit society.  I never even got to make a persona before the website died.  I only saw one Gold flight written out and the start of the return of Thread.  I thought it would have been interesting to RP the return of Thread but never got the chance.

And in the Spring of '06 I was accepted into the Triadian society and will be staying for quite some time.

Well, I first really got into writing/role-playing my Freshman year of high school when the first Lord of the Rings movie came out.  (It seemed like another lifetime ago!)    

:bigsmurf: I am way too old for this world!

*sigh*
I remember mourning when Tolkien died -- and I had already read the books several times. That was well before the first Fellowship of the Ring movie.

Someone hand me my cane.

AJ, am I missing any?

Were you in (Mirren's???) Wings of Pern with me? You were also in Bree's Shattered Lands.

Oh yeah -- both of those.

And I forgot the Weyr that Never Was -- Southern something. They contacted us, we were helping to write their FAQs, and then they just disappeared without getting started.

It was Southern Alliance.

I have only ever been at Triad.  I never wrote elsewhere or really even looked elsewhere.  I did my window shopping and found the one I wanted and have been here ever since :D

The only reason I knew about Pern Fandom was because my older brother (BEFORE internet, if you could believe that!) was in a Weyr that met in RL and he started a BBC thread for the club.  Before I moved to Japan I was thinking I needed a way to keep up with my English since I knew a lot exchange students who had lost their extensive vocabulary in their native language from lack of use.  I remembered what my brother had done and how I loved reading the "issues" of stories he'd bring home with him and I thought "Heck, if he made one on a bulletin board before internet, there's GOTTA be a Weyr online now" and... well... that was that :D

We got windows?

[Eimi]

Yeah, I kinda broke them... I think that's how all you returnees are slipping back in ;)

Not me, I slipped in through the basement door Heather left open.

[Jane]

... I was writing both halves of a romantic relationship myself! That was a lot of fun, actually, and you can get good writing out of it just like with a novel, but somehow it seems a bit silly in a coposting club to write it all yourself, right?

I was talking to AJ about this the other day.  I now nearly always write the weyrmate for any of my characters because each time I moved clubs (and took my characterrs with me) they lost weyrmates.  To somebody who hates to make her characters unhappy, continually killing off their weyrmates was pretty traumatic.  Nowadays I protect them and me by making their weyrmate an NPC that I write for.

You're talking about the 1978 only-half-the-story, partly animated one, aren't you?  Please tell me you are ...

I've got a few riders with broken hearts, although they usually got them for a different reason: my boys seemed to end up on the losing side of love triangles -- and most of the times, I didn't find out that tidbit of information until everyone else on the list did.    And still, 9 times out of 10, I'd rather write a relationship with someone else than do it myself with NPCs.

[Bree]

I don't think I'm capable of writing happy relationships, and the character's partners very rarely have anything to do with it. :(

Writers beware! Getting your characters involved with mine is asking for pain and suffering!

I can't help it. I've got a problem!

   We need to talk and plot. :angel12:

Makes a note on the appropriate list.
