Hello, friends. It's been a long, long time since I've ventured here. I'm sad to say that I haven't thought much about the place since the last time I dropped by under the false name "Crazy Man" about four years ago. Although I haven't checked around very much yet, I know that there has been some mild interest in resuming things here. I also know that there has been a great deal of spamming here, both of which I'd like to address today.
For those of you who have ventured here from parts unknown in the hopes of actually role playing here, please accept my sincere apologies for the state of abandonment this place has been under, as well as anything here that might have given you the impression that the board was still active and moderated. I intend to change the site's banner to advise any newcomers that trickle in that the board is mostly dead. I also plan to remove spam, attempt to prevent it if possible, and perhaps address anybody that might be interested in playing, if they ever return.
If anybody is interested, here's what's been going on while I've been away:
I've been dealing with a lot of real-life changes and distractions in the time that I've been gone. Going to school, graduating, moving twice, finding and losing a job, getting married, looking for work... Stuff like that. Meanwhile, I've also been doing other things online, such as starting a book series based on a story that I've been writing in my head for almost two decades. I hope to publish electronically someday using Smashwords. I've also started working on some fanfiction in my spare time. First on fanfiction.net and on archiveofourown.net.
At both sites, you can find a couple of stories that I'm slowly writing, still under the name "Cralex." One of which stars my Kokiri character, Tila. Like the book I've been writing, I've had a story in mind for Tila long before I ever came her and rewrote her backstory to fit the Legion Hero rules and timeline. It's a fun and challenging experience writing on my own, but I'm especially enjoying archiveofourown.org. In addition to posting new stories there, there's also encouragement to post old fanworks from other sites and preserve them for posterity. I decided to post my old Legion Hero stuff there, so that somebody might actually see and enjoy it...
Which brings me at last back here.
If you’re anything like me, you put a lot of time and thought into your characters and don’t want them forgotten. For that reason, this site will remain up and available for anybody who wants to play or just look around. In the meantime, there are other Zelda-themed roleplaying boards out there that you might be interested in if you’d like a more active community. Here are a few that, at the time of this writing, appear to be active (rather lazily gathered from the first few Google results for “zelda rp board”):
Zeldafront RPG Stone: main.zeldafront.com/
ZRPG.NET: zrpg.net/forums/
I have an account on the latter, but I’ve never gotten around to doing anything there. Use your favorite search engine if you’d like to find more. In the meantime, I’ll see of there’s anything I can do to protect the board from automated spam. This may or may not involve locking and unlocking boards in the unknown future, but I’ll leave things like that alone for now.
Until next time...
May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce.
