Glad you made it, Dapaga! It was worth the wait.

BTW, sent you a DM a while ago, but you must have missed it. Anyway, I'll just drop this here for you...

Right, I’ve never made a sequel to any of my stories, but there’s always a first time for everything, so here goes.

Following on from The Land of Nod, I present…

Hello all you wonderful people.

I posted on ATS as DictionaryOfExcuses several years back. I didn’t get banned. First, I wandered away from ATS, then I stopped using the email associated with my account. I forgot the password ages ago. Hence, the new handle.

I was always fond of the short story competitions. Glad to see they’re still going strong. Maybe I’ll get down on the next one. Cheers.

Welcome back QRST4 or DOE!

It's a shame you can't log back into your old account. It looks like you are a proficient writer... I enjoyed your Standing Bear story.

Perhaps you can get back in if you can remember your old email address. The new owner/admin (Darko) has been able to resurrect some old accounts.

Try contacting DontTreadOnMe and/or write to [email protected] and reference this post and your old account. Provide a new email and see what happens.

I look forward to your stories in future contests.

Welcome back. The acronym thread died without you.
I've still got a copy of the pic you used for avatar.

a reply to: Encia22

Thank you, I will do that!

a reply to: pthena

The acronym thread was the first thread I visited! I was surprised to see it’s been pretty slow. Looks like Timely hasn’t logged in for the better part of a year! Seems that some things have changed around here, other things not so much.

a reply to: QRST4

Many fewer posters logged on at any given time.
I can remember the times people would join specifically to comment on stories in the story forum.
Good times.
