In fact, some of the "oldies" would probably remember me from the old site back in the day (particularly Maggie, JG, Renae, Doc Bender, etc.). I've always been an avid reader of the Whateley stories and a somewhat ADD writer wanting to do stories (which my muse never gave me time for).
But for anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Samirah or Maeve. I go by Violetfyre on most boards, but I write under the name of S.M. Johnstone (yes I am finally going to be published soon under that). And I am coming back to the Whateleyverse. I have to admit that I enjoy a lot of Morpheus' stuff, as well as anything with Team Kimba and Caitlin too. I have an idea for a story, so I will probably start working on the fanfic here after I complete the editing for my urban fantasy story for Falstaff. And to take a break from the novel I am supposed to write.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and hope to get to know people more.

Thank you. Yeah, it's pretty much new to me. Mostly because it is hard for me to keep track of changes lol. But I appreciate the welcome.

welcome back 
We have a section of the site set aside for listing the 'published' (print or ebook) offerings of our authors... and I'm happy to put up links to books on sale by our community members as well, if you get me a cover art image and a link to where your book is for sale. You're welcome to link to such things in your signature/sig-art also, if you prefer, as long as its not out of control size / spacing wise.

By the way JG, I wanted to talk to you later on about some Maelstrom stuff. But that can be done a bit later.
Once I have links for it, I'll be happy to. I know that my first urban fantasy story is going to be part of an anthology due out in October from the company. And it just depends on timing for the rest. But the publisher I'm working with is pretty cool, in fact he created an anthology to combat HB2 last year.

I never had posted a fanfic or anything, mostly because my muse who is on ADD got distracted by other things and then came the focus on some professional work and between job and everything else, I let it slip. Not to mention losing most of my notes on the characters. But that will change a bit I think since I am not feeling as stressed with the desperate need to be published anymore too.
Oh and I guess for the real oldies, I should say that I am probably most known as RogueJedi...

Well, its been a while for me, and for some they may be confused as I've done some minor editing to who I am. In fact its been over a year I believe since I left my last mark but for some they may immediately recognize me. Sorry for them. and well -
TAG your it.
Welcome back to the old that is new, the refurbished that has been glistened up to provide you hours, days or weeks of endless catching up for when you think you have there's something new to come your way.
So welcome back, enjoy, kick the tires -don't slash them their out of warranty now - and pickup on either Gen 1 or Gen 2. Just please feed the animals behind the cages. Why? Because the zoo keep won't. They like fresh praise - not stale. Feed them fresh water every so often. Their not plants. (Well maybe one or two) but need heeps of sunshine to keep from withering.
I'd send out the dishes but I'd be breaking some copyright code over on a site that shall not be named. Oh and have a few crabs. But don't dip them deep in butter for we no not where it came.
By the way what century did you say you came from? Never mind it matters not for there are still a lot of old fossils here as well. Atomic aging not permitted.
