Hey, guys. It's been a while. So long, in fact, that I can't remember my password. So long, in fact, that I've changed emails. So long, in fact, that I've forgotten my password to that email. Meaning I can no longer access my admin account.
However, I wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who were active when this site was up and running. Although there were only ever five or six of us who posted, you guys kept me active. I owe my passion for writing to my years RPing here, on the Plagued Winds, and the original 9th Hokage with all of you. When I write and I read, I always find similarities between our ninja and other characters. Atake, for example, is nearly a carbon copy of the character Faust from Goethe's play of the same title. Mika is parallel with the character Helena of the same play, and Meikei is of similar character to Mephisto. In reading other books I have found characters whose similarity to the determined Akuma, the sarcastic Anto, and the earnest Metrogiani is shocking. Even if we never RP together again, you all have my gratitude for helping shape my literary tastes and talents. Each of you has left with me a lasting impression.
Should my personal life ever even out and should the inclination ever strike me, we may start another RP site again someday. You will be the first ones to know. However, we will not make the same mistake that I made when creating this site. This site I made as a tribute to Shui's legacy and the original 9th Hokage. I tried to pick up the story where the old site left off. Big mistake.
In copying 9th Hokage's story and introducing characters whose backstories were thick with lore from another site, I made it difficult for new people to join us. If we were ever to create another site, it would be with new characters and a new story. Atake's story, my story, is long since finished. Atake's tale was a tragic one, and someday I hope to write it in its entirety - and each and every one of you will be included. Names may be changed (and to avoid copyright infringement, the setting and magical abilities will as well), but the story will remain the same. Look for me on the Times' Bestseller List. ^.^
In the meantime, I want to thank you one last time. You guys are the reason I'm so devoted to Naruto and to writing. Chances are you'll never see this, but if you do, I hope it brings you the same smile it brings me. Love you guys.

P.S.: Who made this Naruto background? This thing is ugly. Lol.
