This the Dragon's Return here, returning to my very FIRST FIRST FIIIIIRST account!
I remember the day I made it.
I said to myself, "If we're going to have fun at the beach tomorrow, I really hope I find how to submit stories to that cool website."

I did later that night and made this account.

Fun facts:

My orginal pen name: frankie
I had a few stories, all of which were script format.
My favorite story that I ever had was a survivor parody I worte with me friend: All For One
This account was the second account to write a story for the Star Fox section. I remember it very clearly, I wrote a story that could make your eyes bleed (involing Star Fox team going to some place with a ghost and whatnot. I called Falco, 'Flaco')

Mind you, I was TEN when I started writing on this account.

I remember living through all the old days very... very vividly.

Flavors...
Stories titled: The Adventures of So and So (Chapter 2)...
Favorite Authors List was only about 10 authors in size.
Can you believe that at one point we were aloud to have FREE profile pics? I had one of Luigi from Mario Party 3.
G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17
Whenever you clicked into an NC-17 that little "Are you over 18?" would pop-up.
The day NC-17 vanished.
When people (atleast on the Digimon section, where most of my first work started) wanted a Yaoi/Yuri ranting system.
The prime of Song Fics and Script Format.
Lemon and Lime were popular discribes of stories.
Can you remember back to a day when the "pop-up blocker" was first introduced? And worked up to a WEEK? FOR FREE?
Days before...
When fictionpress.net didn't exsist.
Forums and C2s weren't even heard of!
When there were only 6 Genre!

Action/Adventure
Humor
Drama
Horror
General
Romance

And you could only submit ONE with your story!
Now what do we have?
Family?
Crime?

Of those new genres, I can understand "Friendship"
Yet we still don't have a Yaoi/Yuri ranting? I mean, I doubt it will stop the assholes from flaming a yaoi story saying "OMG GAAAAYZ" but it may stop the smarter people from clicking into them thinking its just a romance.
But atleast now we don't need to spend countless hours searching for that one single WESTERN story I read about 5 years ago.

...The good all days...

And looking back...
After being with this site for 7 years.
FF.net...
They keep forgetting...
That this site is called "FAN"Fiction dot net.
A site for fans to express themselves as they choose.

I remember...
When it was, "Unleash your imagination... and free your soul."

Somewhere along the lines...
It seems that this grand ol' site forgot that part of the motto.

I'm not sure if anyone else has done this yet.
If not... well, then let it start here:

If you remember when it was "Unleash your imagination and free your soul" copy and paste this into your profile.
