Wowzers, it's been a while since I've last posted here. Apparently my profile says I'm an ancient fogey around here now? Boy how times flies. Anyway, for those of you who weren't around when I was last on the forum, hi! I'm Sporty... That is, sporty2443 on Neopets. Don't judge, I made that account when I was very smol and I'm way too attached to it now to switch to a main account with a better name, haha. I somewhat recently returned to Neo from a long hiatus after being enticed by the promise of a new plot, and have since been getting back into the swing of writing for the Neopian Times (and, y'know, doing the plot). I've actually got the second and final part of a series in the Times now, which is kind of wild because it's a story that I wanted to write back before my hiatus and it had seemed like that one was doomed to the backburner forever. I write other things, too; in fact, I'm getting ready to self-publish my first book soon! (It's a long short story/short novelette, so not all that long for a book, but hey, gotta start somewhere). For those of you who do remember me, I am so, so sorry that I up and disappeared years back. I was going through a lot at the time and couldn't keep up with forum stuff anymore, but it was one of those awkward situations where it didn't look like it would be too much at first and then everything just kept piling up and I felt too guilty to come back and say anything. Now that I'm back in the writing and Neopets grooves again, though, this seemed like a good time to start over!

Hey there, welcome back! :3 I remember seeing you around here before, although I don't recall if we talked much then. I totally get that fear after being away a while, though, I went through the same thing recently irl where I got back into a hobby after five or six years away. But it's true that things like that happen, and there's no need to feel guilty!
Congrats on the NT series, such a great feeling to see the finished product of an idea you've had for so long!

Sporty!! \ o / Hiya!! It's so cool to see you again! And congrats on your upcoming book! That's amazing. =D Are you allowed to share what it's about, or would you prefer to keep that under wraps until its release? =o
Anyway, just really glad to hear you're continuing to be awesome out there and are still writing. ^^
((In case you're wondering, my current profile is in honor of the Medieval RP's tenth anniversary this summer, if you can believe that. xD We had good times!))

Thanks again, guys! And oh gooosh Lizica, has it really been ten years since the Medieval RP? As for what my book's about, it's something I always have a hard time describing simply, haha. It's a fantasy story set in a world where there was a kind of... magical apocalypse, sort of, but most of the characters were from a city-state that was basically protected from the magical apocalypse stuff by a big barrier that's recently come down. It's about something that happens when they join a sort of expedition to find out what's become of the world around them, and in particular a run-in with one of the people who's been living outside the barrier. Hopefully that description does the story justice, haha. I'll let you guys know when it's out!
