Somewhere Upwards is definitely above the Lounge, and to my knowledge used to connect to the ceiling above the Board, though I haven't done a lot of traveling the rafters lately. I used to call them the same thing, though, and it is how I would travel to the Lounge most often. In my opinion, you end up a bit more sideways than upside-down. :D

Trailing around after hawky, as usual. Uh. Sup. What are we doing here, saying what we did? I don't remember, its been...19 years? I'm an adult now!! I just turned 30.

I'm gonna let that sink in for some of you that knew me when I was 12/13 and obnoxious.

I did a lot of questionable anime kid drawings and attempts at writing that I think Hawky has terrifying archives of. I did find some of it on decades old notebook paper last week! Fate is strange.

Uhhhhh also I'm a dude now

heyyy

I'm now over the shock of seeing your names again enough to say hi!

Can we still look forward to a Real Original Novel inspired by Suedom someday? Or is it already out there, and have I just embarrassed myself by revealing my ignorance? ^_^

~Neshomeh

I'm weeping :_;

I always thought Somewhere Upward was the space above the Lounge. If it's the space above the Board, too, do they exist on top of each other, in some sort of phase-shifted parallel realities, or if you travel through Somewhere Upward far enough from one, do you somehow end up in the other? When do you start being upside down? Or rather, when do you stop?? {= O

~Neshomeh's mind is blown.

The answer to the ancient question must be revealed...

Take yourself back to a wilder time, a much more populated time, a time of cookie fights, and wild trolls, when at one time I think we nearly got the census up to 50? 75? higher? Are those numbers real, or did I misremember them?

I absolutely live in the ceiling for the high vantage point. The better to drop from, or glomp, or throw cookies. Somewhere Upwards, as it goes, is mostly the space amongst the rafters, reaching between the Board and the old bravenet chat, which was a malleable place at the time. There are untold trap doors to drop out of, and I nest up here in a sea of cushions and paperclips, like the bird I'm named after. Maybe I should have picked a crow?

(Don't ask me why I distributed paperclip-shaped items, specifically; that one I don't know.)

Feel free to ping me on Discord, and if you like Gdocs for the beta process (I do), my email is neshomeh (dot) soul (at) gmail (dot) com

I'm not the biggest Tolkien expert around, but it should be fine if it's mostly LotR and doesn't get too much into obscure points of lore or Elvish languages. If it does, though, we can ask hS, who is the biggest expert. But I wouldn't expect much of that from a classic Tenth Walker. ^_^

I fear no wordcount; my latest mission is nearly 18k, according to AO3, and that's on the long side but not unusual for me. Not to mention my current beta project, which I will have to make sure to finish before I start a new one.

(It is so incredible! I think hS has been spreading the word. And as of today, I am, too, just to see how far we can boost the signal!)

Looks like I'm not the newest of the newbies anymore! Welcome and I hope you have fun. :)

Losing AIM was so sad, because it was just like losing seeing people walk in the neighborhood, and simultaneously losing the ability to call someone from years ago if you want. And I was on it every day for years, seeing people like you too! Hello! It's good to see you! I suspect we have facebook friends in common!

All this talk about AIM is making me wonder if we need an oldbies discord. Like a phone rolodex. So we can continue to see each other in passing daily.

I was gonna ask for volunteers when it was done, but I'm glad I already have one! =D It's in the LotR-verse, a Tenth Walker 'Sue. (Absolute classic!) And my knowledge is a little rusty, and I was never an expert in the fandom in the first place, it is a whole lot of fandom, after all. But I would very much appreciate help with the PPC stuff. It has been a while. The Wiki is being very helpful, though! I certainly appreciate that it exists! I'll ping you somewhere when the mission is finished, writing it up will be somewhat of an undertaking... The synopsis just passed 5000 words. XD But I tend to write a lot of the dialogue early.

(And yes, oh my god, look at this monster thread! I am in shock; I've never set a trend before in my life! Every time I look I see another familiar name, and am catapulted back in time. It is just incredible.)

I knew Yahoo was pretty much dead—tried recovering my account a while back and was able to log in, but none of my message history was left. Didn't know about the rest, though. I... guess I'm okay with it, since I haven't used AIM or MSN in forever, and I still have lots of logs saved, but still, wow. I guess Discord did 'em in, huh? (On which note: Neshomeh#0990 if you're on there.)

Thanks for the descriptions! I think I guessed they were blond(e), but it's also good to know/remember that Ilraen-in-human-morph comes by his willowy build honestly. ^_^

Oooh, book-binding, huh? Very cool!

*waves hi to Blayze!*

~Neshomeh

P.S. Asterisks can be used with a backslash ( \ ) in front to stop them making stuff italics. Because Tradition.

It's good to have ya! I don't have anything witty to say, but hi.

*points up-Board and down-Board*

I keep telling myself I'm going to continue my Skyrim fic one of these days, too, but the first dragon fight intimidates me and I'm still working on getting over it!

I know you've been writing fic, too, which is awesome. I just wish it were in a fandom I know better. ^_^;

~Neshomeh

Like a Wink and a Smile, Episode 2: "Attachments" (also on AO3, with formatting intact, even!)

Just Part One for now, because it is a Multimedia Extravaganza with Divers Links and Ten Thousand Elephants!

Okay, maybe not that last bit. And you don't have to listen to the songs that are linked. But we think it's more fun if you do. {= ) We've also provided a handy Gdoc with all the lyrics, if you can't/don't want to engage with the audio or do want to follow along.

If you are a new or returning Boarder (or just missed it the first time), we humbly suggest you start with Episode One: "Crossing the Coffee Table" (AO3).

If you enjoy J² half as much as we do, we will be very pleased. ^_^

~Neshomeh & Zingenmir

(Edit: Neshomeh forgot to add tags in her excitement!)

I'm glad you did though - it wouldn't be right seeing one of you without the other. ^_~

hS

I used to be a lot more active a few years ago, so that's probably why. I've been lurking on the board for a while and I occasionally resurface but I'm more active on the Discord.

I get you probably not coming back, but it's good to see you again. How are things with you?

offers mini sneks They come with hats!

There was certainly some back and forth involved. : )

Still writing?

Was exactly what it says on the tin. A week-long vacation of PPCers in one vacation rental. Me, FractalDawn, Araeph, Artell, Phobos, Neshomeh, along with other PPCers who lived in the DC area at the time.

I totally blame July for this.
But yeah, since it's reunion time...
Been around between October 2011 and March 2017. Left in... less than savoury circumstances, and probably not coming back. But nonetheless it's nice to see some of the people here - especially since some of the names make me feel like a newbie again... Yeah.

hS works miracles, it seems! Nice to see you here, if just for one thread. {= )
