Call me Snowy. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely (primarily because I do not remember how long precisely) -- I came to the Board and hung around for a few months before becoming distracted by college and vanishing.
(I am now done parodying Moby Dick.)
A few weeks ago, my roommate made some comment about fanfiction which had the unfortunate effect of reminding me that That Series exists (her description of my face slowly twisting into a look of abject horror was a thing to hear) which in turn had the significantly more fortunate effect of reminding me that the PPC exists. (Me trying to explain it to her was also a thing to hear, primarily because I kept on stumbling across three-letter acronyms that I had to stop and explain, such as PPC, CAD, OFU, and so on and so forth.)
Naturally I immediately looked up a mission and had a great time reading it, and since then I've been lurking occasionally around the Board and the Wiki, gathering up the courage to rejoin the community. A lot's changed for me; I'm now the proud owner of a certificate of computer graphics and in eight days I will be the somewhat less proud owner of a BA in English. (Why the less proud, you ask? Well, primarily it's because I've decided that one of the greatest enemies of good creative writing is higher education. I spent three years learning college level English and now I shall have to spend some time unlearning it.)
I'm eager to get back into the community again! If memory serves it's a healthy, respectful, and fun community and those, I've found, are hard to come by.
