Hi everybody! Sorry I disappeared for so long, my laptop went kaput, so I had to save up to buy a new one, and then I was really busy, and then there was Christmas and now I'm back. Hurray! ^_^

I came back to yet nobody seems to remember. Us black guys are always forgotten

Were you gone? I didn't notice 

Welcome back too~

fst typr

Did you write any stories or were you a active forum goer

Wait you're black

Is that a question or a statement? And if it's a statement then what is he waiting for? 

And the New Year gets off to a good start!

First James, then Frank, and now Briar!

Huzzah! Ryder's surrender has brought everyone back to our website!

He surrendered? I thought he was thrown out kicking and screaming, but either's good. ^_^

Yeah, but then he came back kicking and screaming, and then got frustrated when he realized his spamming was hopeless.

As opposed to his usual, extremely hopeful and optimistic spamming?

I'm back now too. ;-;

*puts finger on ShadowHills' lips* Shhhhh... Don't spoil the moment.

But Slashy wants his love too.

Do you gaze deeply into his eyes when you do that?

...I'd hope so.

Welcome back.

 

Thank you ^_^

Welcome back, we cleaned up the site for you. 

Awh! Where'd all those awesome stories about kitties go? 

I found a game called "Woo the Female". Now, I've seen some minimalist approaches to the Love and Dating genre, but... "Woo the Female"!?

I think I made Woo the Female as an experimental comedy/puzzle game and deleted it. 

I found Homo Perfectus 9 in there.    (o.o)

Did you know you could view the deleted games? Just find it on the list, and put http://chooseyourstory.com/story/DEL~7e[insert number]~7e[insert title]

All the story stuff that was on it when it was deleted is there too.

Wow, surprised by the amount of non-warrior cats related stuff in there. What exactly are the new minimum standards for storygames?

No one knows yet. 3J hasn't told us.

Welcome back Briar. Hope things by you cooled down by now haha.

eyyyy

Yay, you're back, we're all happy, get your ass back into the editor and make us a story.

Very slowly working on it 

Nice to see you around again sneaky assassin grrl!  ^v^

Yippie! I missed you and your penguin smilies ^_^

Oh my God, Briar's alive...! *tackle-hug* :D

*Is killed by the tackle-hug* ... Nice work Kiel. 
(Devil smiley because I went to hell.) ^_^

Thank you, thank you, nice horns. Also, were you around when I started working on T.O.W?

Lets see... I think you'd only just started working on it because I remember reading the beginning. ^_^

Well, it's done. :D So if you need a break from writing about slaves getting killed horribly, you can go read about ... slaves getting killed horribly... hm. 

Also, didja see that your game is now featured on the home page? Congrats. :3

I know, it's awesome! How and when did that happen? I completely missed it all! 
And I can't wait to read your game, along with a few others I've been looking forward to reading, but I think I'll wait a bit before I read anything since I really need to concentrate on writing for the moment. I've barely written anything for the past 6 months and I just want to get this bloody re-write out of the way so I can finally write something new that I can hopefully be excited about. ^_^

^ That thread was where it was voted on / talked about / exc.

Understood. I'm eager to get back to my own projects, too, but I've been very unfocused. Good luck, if you need help with anything, you know plenty of us would be more than happy. 

WAS THAT A GLOMP FROM A GROWN MAN?!

So what if it was?

Well, those generally tend to cause more injuries than non-grown-man-glomps.

Which makes them more fun! :D Right? 

I wouldn't think so...

(I'm joking, if that's not abundantly clear.)

I knew that.

Stuff that raises the chance of injury only makes things more fun in rugby, sex, and poker, Kiel. Return threads are none of those things. Well, maybe they are, on certain websites that I definitely don't frequent when I'm not here, but in most cases...

I defy your list and reason! Violent displays of affection FTW!

You know who else displayed affection violently? The Joker's dad. And just look where that got him! Those scars make him look like he tried to give cunnilingus to a laminated travel brochure!... Actually, he might've done that... It explains why he's licking his lips all the time...

No wonder they hid the origin from us! He was just a lonely homeless guy who went mad after injuring himself trying to sex an inanimate object! What an unbelievably shitty movie villain!

xD Your deductive skills never cease to amaze.

That is quite impressive. Mystery solved. ^_^

Welcome back Briar :D

Danke. ^_^

Hurrah! <3

I had this feeling an angry parent deleted an important directory in Task Manager or something to kaput your computer, but that might just be me.

Stupid angry parents! You wait till I get my hands on them! 

Briar! Welcome back, oh em effing gee! :D

I, um, co-started a thing for people to hang out on. Would love to have you on board, if you'd be interested. A friend of mine has stronger connections to the #altgames/Twine crowd on Twitter, & we both want to reach out to the parser IF & VN folks... just neutral ground, basically, for all our weird little IF/narrative-driven-game factions. Somewhere to post WIPs & get real feedback, and also to chat & roleplay & all that jazz.

We're calling it Storygamers Anonymous. Except it's keyed to email & emails are visible, soooo be sure to give me the right address. If you want in. If not, no offense taken, of course. Hope things are good-busy for you. ^_^

Hi Morgan! Quick question... What's a WIP? I mean I'm guessing it's something that slavemasters use to wack their slaves wen they haven't picked enough weat for the day or watever. ^_^

Works In Progress / Work In Progress.

Woops! ;)

Kiel has it. Common slang among some writerly types, I think? I dunno, I could've picked it up on the art side of things, too. Useful shorthand for any project that isn't finished.... which is to say, all of them, in my case. XD

It's common on most fanfiction sites. I can't say all writing sites do it, of course, but I used to see it aaaaall the time on FF.net back in my old, old fandom days. (xD Another one I saw a lot was PWP, haha. Big shock, I'm sure. :P)

Oh, okay, that makes much more sense. I thought it might be some kind of interactive fiction term that I'd never heard of yet. Well it sounds cool and I'll definitley check it out. Do you have a link to the site? ^_^

Should be storygamers.slack.com? But you won't see much, it's invite-only. Sorry, no wifi where I am yet, but I'm hoping to get back to sending invites tomorrowish.

Wait, who are you again?

Okay, you die first. ^_^

Thank you for your kind offer of death. Unfortunately, all of or death-threat receiving staff are occupied. We have put you in the holding queue, please wait, average waiting time is three to four decades. We understand your inconvenience, and therefore are willing to offer you a similar threat as the one you offered us. As experienced death-threat receivers Romulus inc. knows that swift replies are of the utmost expedience, and therefore we pre-emptively accepted our death threat on your behalf. Prepare to be exterminated shortly. 

Once again, thank you for threatening Romulus inc., have a nice rest of your life!

If you don't want any death, there's always the alternative option of cake. ^_^

The cake's a lie, isn't it...?

Nobody said it was the truth.

Oh, so it is. Death it is then. ^_^

Death by what?

Hmm, sounds tempting, but today isn't really a convenient time for me. Can I exchange it for a coupon or something?

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSE~~~! I mean, the best riddler ever, the one to receive the first pm I've ever sent to anyone, has humbled us my returning. I have the most insightful, eye-opening message of all times for you and you alone;

'ello.

Ta ^_^

Briar!!!!!! Woot

Your cheering is insufficiant. Woot louder. ^_^

Lol lmao roflmao

Welcome back.  It's nice to see a familiar face...

...and sorry to hear about your laptop.

May it rest in peace 

Unfortunately, laptops have a strange tendency to commit suicide once they realise they're being operated by sociopaths/psychopaths ^_^ just a new Microsoft security thing. 

Welcome back, Briar! Feel free to command the new recruits as you see fit. 

Yey! New toys! ^_^

Well hello again and welcome back!

How've you been? Everything good in the hood?
