Alder Hill revisited FTW! \o/

[tysolna]

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.

Why didn't anyone tell me it was still alive? I had given up all hope after march last year.

I hope it will thrive again.

I myself didn't know until yesterday evening!

Oh, I hope so, too.

Ah, you're still online.
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.

I finally have DSL flatrate; these days, I'm almost always online. ;)

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.
