No, indeed.  You are The Oldtimers.

Remember Anne's Oldtimers?  They left suddenly ... arrived back at a place they knew but separated by time from their memories of it?  Things had changed?  People they knew were know longer around?  There were some adjustment issues, but the vast majority adapted to the 'new' Pern

They arrived in a big bunch, too. ;)

Jane, that is a very insightful take on the recent influx of former Triad / Pern Shadows members. I like it! What we should do is go through the Way Back Machine, pull the names of former members, and see if we can't keep this homecoming going for a while. One name that jumps instantly to mind of someone not here is Nicole -- anyone remember what happened to her?

some of us are Ancients....

Yep that could be right as well, I did consider that side of it, but figured there weren't four Weyrs worth of us coming back. LOL.

*thinks though a lot of things may have changed - one thing is a constant.... Bree's still a bossy britches*

Personalities usually are constant. And while fandom can, upon occasion, bring out the worst in us (yes, that applies to me too), it also brings out the best in us for if we are anything it is passionate about about writing, and there is a good deal of talent -- definitely some of the best I've seen in Pern fandom -- in this club.

*passes AJ a straw*

* joking *

I know I always enjoyed writing with other club members here, and I'm just thankful that most of them are still here, and there are new playmates for me to play with now too!

And I second the being-creeped-out-by-Patrick-in-Bree's-paint-shed.

I'm creeped out I was in Bree's paint ched.  How did I get there?

*looks sheepish*

Thank you, Patrick.

Your welcome Kaysea.  I guess it was my pleasure even though I don't remember doing it...  I guess I'm older than I thought...
