Revivial

[amh1988]

Trying to find my way back to fandom (everything's changed!)

Hoping to assist in reviving dead links where possible and permissible.

For those already organising file recoveries, I have many, many files from the yuckie masterlist. If you already have the permission of the original creators, please get in touch with me, and I might be able to help.

harunomasu has given me permission for ANM files already, provided any comm I share them to is locked, and the normal rules apply.

hey you! Been better, to be honest. How about you? God, it's been so long, right? I can't remember the last time I saw a post from you. How is your health? Hopefully life's been kind to you.

Are you back for good now?

Sorry, I'm babbling.

It's been 6-7 years since I even downloaded an Arashi video until a few nights ago. And it seems most of the sub groups stopped posting around 2012, and I have no idea what happened...?

Life has been ~interesting~ for me. I'm a single mother now, with a 2 year old. Working and running my own business as a registered childminder. I am back for good, but I also have a DW account, because it seems most people are moving there?

I think, I might even finish up those fanfictions I left undone in the next few months.

Is there anything I can do to help you feel better again? Even if you just need distracting from a bad patch. :-)

Wow, that's... wow. Working Mom, I'm so proud of you :D and how's the little angel? Glad to know you're back for good. Fandom hasn't been the same since a lot of fans left back then. So many subbing groups have stopped and there aren't much to find these days, especially subbed vids. Well, there are still groups who managed to sub the members' dramas but since Arashi still have regular shows and individual shows now, it's kind of difficult to really keep up.

Yeah, DW. I dunno. LJ's new TOS really scared the crap out of everyone. But if you're there, just let me know as well okay?

Oh, god. Your fics. You have no idea about this but I've just been reading that JunToshi smut you wrote a few weeks ago and Im just so ecstatic now that you're thinking of finishing that series.

Ah, been through so much myself these past few years but I'm still here, still holding on and it's pretty much because of Arashi. I'm glad to see that you're back, though. A really tight hug will be enough for now :D

He's good. His name is Alex, and I love being a mum. I don't even know where to look for drama's I'm assuming Stormy will have a lot of what I missed in that regard. honestly, will all the dead links and abandoned comms, It must be difficult to be a 'new' fan these days huh?

As for the fic, yeah, I pretty much remember how it was supposed to go, but I haven't written anything in 5 years, so I I wonder if it'll flow properly? Oh well, I can only try, right?

So, consider this a MASSIVE *hug* from me. And I'll get to work on some JunToshi to wrap around you like a blanket.

oh, nice name! Nice to meet you, Alex!

As for the dramas, I can link you with the files so long as they're still there. Which was the last one you downloaded? Stormy, as far as I remember, was only able to sub Ohchan's dramas. I'm not sure about the other members though.

Aww, I miss your writings so I'm going to wait patiently for your new post, so dont rush it okay?

*hugs back* Thanks, I needed that so much.

Again, welcome back, dear <3
