From a newbie to a returning oldbie

*blinks* Well, that's strange. by Ella Darcy on 2014-09-12 00:27:00 UTC Reply

I haven't been on this board for at least six years, I've gone through two laptops and am using a totally different browser, and this evening when I was going to pay my freaking credit card bill... the URL autopopulated.

And now I'm here.

It feels really nice to see that this place is still active. The PPC is where I got my start in fandom, and has always held a very warm place in my heart. But that might be just be the after-effects of the Bleepka.

Not sure if I'll be staying around, but I didn't want to just find this place again and then disappear.

I don't remember meeting you before, which is why the "back" is in parentheses. Anyway, I offer as my returnbie gift...movie-theater popcorn with extra butter! (It makes a lovely newbie gift, too.)

And speaking of the devil... People were actually talking about you and Agent!Ella Darcy in a threat a few ago.

It's a pleasure to meet you! I heard quite a bit about you in that threat and read a few of your writings. Quite impressive stuff and even more so considering you were the youngest to write for PPC.

I can see from your missions that you were a LoTR fan and the time and I think it would be safe to assume that you still are. What other fandoms do you keep these days?

As a returning Oldbie Gift, have a Rorschach Book (Changes according to your current reading interests.)

I hope you do hang around us at least a bit. I would love to get to know you.

Just so it's abundantly clear that no one is threatening anyone. ^_~

Funnily enough, we were just talking about you (or technically about Agent Ella Darcy); the Board must have sensed it and invited you back. And it's always good to see people pop back in, whether they stay or not. Welcome back!

I've heard quite a bit about you...all good things, all good things!
No, seriously, my reaction to seeing your post was, "Wait, the Ella Darcy?"

As a way of re-welcoming, have this gift of fuzzy Pink-and-Urple Bunny Slippers!

Wow, it's always great to see people come back to visit. I dunno what happened in your browser, but I'm glad it did. {= )

Six years ago, hmmm... so, I'm guessing you haven't seen Agent!Ella Darcy's wiki page? Apparently it was created in 2010. Maybe you could help us flesh it out, if you've got the time and inclination. {= )

Welcome back!

Oh goodness. Hello there! by JulyFlame on 2014-09-12 00:42:00 UTC Reply

Clearly there was a ghost in the machine involved.
Ella Darcy! *glomp* by Araeph on 2014-09-12 00:36:00 UTC Reply

I remember you, definitely! Good to have you pop back in and chat with us, for however long you decide. I've gone a-lurking myself many a time in the past decade or so, but have solemnly sworn to finish up the Department of Technical Errors one of these days.

What fandoms do you frequent these days? I kind of bop all over the place now, but I still check in with the LOTR/Hobbit fandom regularly, and have discovered a new favorite in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
