I fall and I leap and
I'm freaking out
Nowhere near my place and I
Know that they've seen me now

P.S. I apologize for the blue-on-grey.  I know that shit is hard to read.  Seriously, this is from when I was 15-16.

I'm a little confused, what's the story behind these?

Maybe it is life story.

I miss the old stories. I found the play I was trying to write the other day. I might have to type/post part of it now

Nice to see you again Than :)

I had a poke around in my UV archives and found a couple of TNAW files from (wait for it...) not 10 years ago, but actually 13.
Ouch.
If I felt old before, now I feel ancient!  :o

Evidently I cut'n'pasted the text directly from your forum posts of the day - TNAW 1-9 are in one file together, with TNAW 10 bringing up the rear in a file of its own.

Let's see if the board allows me attach them as a .zip...

I imagine that Turjan has a vast data room that has been backing up the entire output of the internet since it first came online.  Just stay out of the Goatse archive...

Go go action archivist!

Oof.  Your timeline sounds about right; I'm 28 going on 29 now, and I wrote that shit when I was 15-16, so 13 years seems about perfect.  It's, uhm.  It was a big deal to me at the time?  And it's still kinda funny.  I think.  Maybe not. 

Dude, though, I just remembered, the whole reason I stopped was that I lost the last five because I was a dumbass teenager and I screwed up on angelfire somehow, you still had them!?  I know I posted that shit!  Hell!  I don't know whether to kiss you or slug you!

No worries matey, I'll pass on the kiss-slug and settle for a handshake. Or a bro hug. Or just a cup of tea :D

They were funny stuff indeed, those TNAWs, and clever too - I liked them, which is how they wound up in my archives  8)

That sounds like a story to me, not a very long story but a story non the less...

It could do with a better villain though.

We were quite a prolific bunch back then, perhaps Turjan could do a weekly post from the archives type post.  I thing I've lot all my meager output and it'd be fun to read any epics that are still kicking around.
