Well, I didn't want to say anything until later, but I've been found out. Taurquende, bless her, figured it out.

I've been a part of this forum before, quite a big part in fact. I used to come on here all the time, but I left about a year ago - or I think it was, my sense of timing is appalling. I left because I was going through the typical "teenage blues" - I didn't know where I was going or what I wanted, and it hit me pretty hard. I was self harming and basically not taking care of myself, and I didn't want to take anything out on the forum members, so I left.

I decided to come back thanks to an old friend, Gilraen Ringeril - we were talking on my LiveJournal about A-U and she asked me whether I would think of coming back. I thought about it, and the day after, I registered again, with a new name, and came back. I decided against using my old login because I wanted a fresh start - I didn't really want to be associated with who I was. I chose not to say anything for the same reason.

Anyway, after all that rambling, I used to be Ororuthiel. It's been nice to see that some of my old friends are still here, bit sad to see that some of them have left, but what can you do, eh?

It's good to see you guys again!

Welcome back to A-U! It's always nice to see returning members!
I only have positive memories about Ororuthiel so I'm glad you chose to come back. I hope you're feeling better now and will be able to make yourself at home here once again.
I'm looking forward to seeing you around!

I remember you, but only a little. I was certainly sad when you left, I can't remember anything not to like about you. Anyhoo, I'm glad you've returned! I look forward to seeing you around and stuff.

*giggles* I didn't make it obvious it was me, but I didn't make it obvious that it *wasn't* me either. I wondered if anyone noticed that tbh - I think I may have creeped out some members a bit.

Thank you all for the warm welcome back! It's good to be back.

Hey, I remember you! I actually wondered awhile ago where you'd gone... welcome back!!

_________________

Oro... No way! Well, I for one had no idea. But then again I never knew you particularly well. but yours was a name I knew from when I first joined the forum, back when nobody knew who I was Anyway, welcome back, although you've been around for a bit now

No way! Wow. Oro, that's really you? Seriously? Wheee! I can't believe it! This is too good to be true! First FM comes back and now another of our favourite AU lasses. It's so great to see you again! I knew when you left that it couldn't really be good-bye.

~Larael

[Hehe.. I may have still been Larael Greenleaf when you left.. I dunno. It's been so long ago now. ]

Hehe, sorry for ratting you out! I don't remember what exactly lead me to suspect, but the identical sites and emails were dead giveaways. Got me quite confused, because it felt certain who you were, but also thought you would have told us you were coming back!

So glad to have you back, Oro! Also glad that things are looking up for you in real life as well.

AWESOME set by the AMAZING Lembas!!!

No problem at all! I didn't think anyone would recognise my e-mail tbh, I knew my site might be, but I took my chances anyway. Anyway, I did want to say something - it just came out earlier rather than later, that's all. I didn't want to say I was coming back straight away, in case A-U wasn't the same, or I felt like I didn't fit in. I wanted to go around the forum for a bit and get used to it all again without people asking questions... however, I think I can safely say that I'm back for a while, at least. I don't know if it will be for good yet, but if I'm still here in a year, you can assume so.

I have a couple of questions to ask though, if you wouldn't mind answering them for me.

I remember that Arwen the Webmaster used to be quite a common presence on her, but I haven't seen her at all since I've been here. Does anyone know what's happened to her, is just work or something?

Secondly, I used to talk to a girl, StardomeGirl, and I've noticed she isn't around at all. Does anyone know what happened to her, did she leave?

Anyway, in short, it's good to see all you guys again. I remember all of you lot, so that's a start. Hopefully I can catch up with y'all sometime!
