I came across Ficlets by going into the millionth roleplay chatroom that was completely dead. I was having creativity overload and I looked at the top to have it say:

Need a creative outlet for ideas and poems? Click here.

I clicked, fixed up my profile and started Ficleting. I knew mine wouldn’t be as good as some I had read before settling on something to write, but I was addicted from the start. I eventually set the signin page as one of my favorites.

I can’t remember what my first nom de plume was, but I do remember one: Queen of Pickles and All Things Vinegar-Soaked. That one was fun.

I finally settled on Mask By The Moon, figuring it was mysterious and eye-grabbing.

We don’t have AOL anymore. But I do have the signin page as my homepage.
