Alder Hill revisited FTW! \o/
I missed the third Anniversary of Alder Hill. It was eleven days ago.
We had such high hopes for that place. A fantasy community where we would lay the groundwork (and a fantastic groundwork it is, too!), and the community members would write the stories, flesh out the skeleton we created. We have a chatroom, and a forum, we have maps, and history, timelines, stunning artwork, stories, poetry, even music and the beginnings of languages. We wanted to create a place where a community-co-created fantasy world would grow and people could let out their creativity.
A year ago, I was ready to close down the place. We were committed, yes, but it didn't work the way we had expected, coming as we did from a thriving online community. And then, we kind of lost interest. I know I did. Why invest energy in something that doesn't give back? But I left it online, for some reason.
And some people have found it, and breathed life into the old thing.
Thanks, guys.

Oh, I hope so, too.

I was meaning to ask... do you still have copies of the old stories of mine which used to be in the library? I would love to get copies of them back... lost them a few crashes ago.
Of course they're free to be added back if you like (and have them!), as are the story snippets I posted march last year.

Yes, I still have copies, and they're on their way to you as I type this.
It will be a pleasure to re-add them.
