[Mr. President]

Why do I like those stupid chat room posts so much? Maybe it's because I frequented chat rooms a lot when I started using the internet.

Maybe it's because they're a sub-culture of the internet sub-culture, with their own language, terminology, and ideology. Maybe it's because they're right at the fringes of society - where innovation takes place and the future is born.

Maybe chat room posts just involve less thinking than real posts.



I suppose you understand the implications of this conversation. A Free Drone (who may or may not be a government operative, I haven't decided yet) is planning something to do with foreign embassies and government things on Mars. This is the kind of thing that starts wars!

So is everybody getting ready for Turkey day (all you Americans)?

[Mr. President]

I miss Thanksgiving. They don't really have it in Australia. But we'll probably try and do something anyway (just me, parents, and sister).

[Mr. President]

Thanks Silence! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! And to AC-Fiction!

[Mr. President]

Lots of tumbleweeds in here, eh?

I'm BACK!!!


Yes, I'm back...I had to go because this past year has been horrible for me. I've been pretty messed up for a while, but I'm back again. Unfortunately, my home internet connection has been cut so I'm only able to use the university's internet connection....and seeing as how the semester is almost over, I don't know when I'll be able to post regularly again....but yes, I'm back.

(and i haven't graduated from college yet, but Spring '04 should be it for me)

So....how's everyone doing?

Yeah, this year has been pretty rough on me both academically and emotionally. But I'm picking myself up and getting through it....

[Lonestar]

Eh?????????????????????

[Mr. President]

I was wondering when you'd find AC-Fiction again. It's been so quiet there weren't even any threads displayed in the default view for a while.

[Frankychan]

WHAAAAT???

Well, I must rectify that ASAP!

Since we're all "old-timers" this should be our headquarters where we launch the AC-Fiction invasion of the other, less worthy, threads!

I'm talkin' 'bout a full scalle Hiver.....AC-Fiction invasion, baby!!!!

[Lonestar]

Unlikely.
