Hey guys!
I was never really that active on these boards, but I've been a lurker around AC since 2003 under the name "filiklepto." :o I made a few posts here on the forums and then promptly disappeared when I moved to Japan... didn't have much time for the Internet, heh~ Now that I'm back in America, I'm getting back into my old pursuits including fanfic! Hopefully I can get more active on these boards, but I have to admit that although I always read what you girls have to say, I feel shy to put in my own two cents because I don't feel like I have anything interesting or useful to add to the mix! ><
A little about my writing... Unfortunately, the story I had been posting before I left for Japan, "On Nightingale Hill," got wiped during a computer failure and I lost over half of it (the best half, sob!). So it's on a very extended hiatus until I either miraculously recover the file or have the heart to rewrite 30K words of Nanowrimo brilliance. :-\ In the meantime, I decided to revive an old Nick fanfic that I wrote during high school set in the Great Depression, called "On the Rails." He's crossing the United States as an illegal stowaway on trains, bringing smiles to a weary population with his songs, and breaking the hearts of girls across the country! I know that it's really different from the usual kind of story (there's not even a "historical" option on the genre menu), but I do hope you give the fic a chance and check out at least the first couple of chapters! <3
Hi, my name is Chris, and I am an absolute addict.

Welcome back. :)

welcome back Chris! Sorry to hear about On Nightengail Hill, I know that's one of the old favorites arounsd here. But it's completely understandable if you don't have the heart to rewrite it. There are a lot of us on here who've lost stories over the years. It sucks monkey butts. But YAY for you deciding not to be a lurker as much anymore!

Welcome Chris! And don't feel shy, just jump right in. :)

Welcome back...that is a major bummer about your story!!!
-
Welcome back! I'm really disappointed to hear about On Nightingale Hill too... but I also understand; I don't think I'd have the motivation to continue a story I lost half of either. :( Hopefully you have better luck with your new story!

Thanks so much, guys, for the warm welcome back! ♥♥
That's really sweet of you to call ONH one of the "old favorites around here," honey~ I know a few of you girls were reading it, and that thought alone makes me want to keep writing it... I just don't know that I'd be able to do the passages that I lost real justice. It sucks trying to recapture the spirit and tone of something you feel was "just right." (I always have that problem when I accidentally refresh and end up losing my forum post or LiveJournal entry right before I submit it!)
