Hey

Hey guys, another new person (and another Mole fangirl, it seems ). My name is Sparky, I'm 34, and I've been a fan of Atlantis since I saw it a bunch of times in the theatres. I was active in the A:TLE fandom for the first couple years but dropped out of it for a couple reasons...mostly it was that while everyone in the fandom was really nice to me, I didn't feel like I really fit in. Atlantis is a really intelligent film, and its hardcore fans (at least back in the early days) it seemed were all really good at history and science and research and everything, but I'm extremely rightbrained and couldn't keep up with them on the forums and rps - basically I felt dumb next to them, lol. Like Reb and GQ and Karen - they were really nice but I felt like I wasn't smart enough to rp with them, lol. I think GQ used to go by the name WinterSprite back then (if it wasn't GQ then I don't know who it was) and I used to chat with her a lot, and I think it was Reb who made my avatar you see here, but I always rp with more humor while everyone else was being SO serious. I rp'ed Mole and Cookie for a while, but I finally just slipped out of the fandom because I was kind of being ignored. I never wrote any fic (for the reasons described above) and I never made any fanart, nor did I ever make a fansite, so I don't think I was really "missed" when I left the fandom as I'd never had a place in it to begin with.
So now years later I decided to see what was left of the fandom. It's because I went to Disneyland a couple weeks ago and I could find no vestiges anywhere of Atlantis. I think Disney wants to pretend it didn't happen. (Yes, it it truly the Lost Empire.) Anyways it made me sad so I rooted around and found this forum. I think I may in fact go ahead now and make that fansite I always wanted to do, although it may not really have all that much on it or be as impressive as like GQ's or Reb's.
Anyways like I said I'm 34, I'm female, and I live in Sacramento CA with my brother and my pets. I look forward to meeting all of you.
