What ever happened to **manson1972**? Seems to have totally disappeared, I can’t find anything about the user by searching, but I might have the year slightly wrong in the username… ~Max ---

Yup, that must be what happened. Thanks. ~Max ---

I wish you the best luck with your writing, @Spice_Weasel😊👍. Writing for a career has also always been a (not so) secret dream of mine, but it’ll never happen, I’m afraid. I have accepted that I’m just not good enough. ---

Plenty of shitty writers are successful! So I tell myself. I’m not shitty, I have real potential, but I’m still trying to get a grip on global structure. I’m not quite ready for prime time. It’s an incredible amount of work. Fiction writing is without question the hardest thing I’ve ever done. ---

Not sure who that’s been listed is still missing or has returned, but John Mace is one of those I really miss. I hope he’s doing well. ---

I’ll add my best wishes, @Spice_Weasel . I wrote for a living, before I went back to school to become a lawyer. I’ve certainly written fiction, and I had a lot of fun in the Flash Fiction contests that used to be held here on the Dope. For me, it was a pleasant and relaxing hobby; for you, I hope it becomes something more. Good luck! ---

Thank you! I have a low standard of success, fortunately. I’d be thrilled with any amount of money after putting so much time into becoming a better writer. Something to show for all my effort. As a part time worker bringing in only supplemental income, I’m in a good position to give it a go with very little risk. In many ways, I’m already living the dream. I have the community, the writing tools and the support, it’s just a matter of putting myself out there. ---

Fierra hasn’t posted since 2015, and Una has only posted since 2018 in the TubaDiva thread (2020). I don’t expect to see them back. ---

I keep seeing a thread title in Cafe Society that says [Dexter coming back in 2021](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dexter-coming-back-in-2021/922971), and it keeps making me think of @C_K_Dexter_Haven and wishing he were the Dexter who would be returning. ---

My first time back in a while and this post was in my notifications, made my day. I just get frustrated here more quickly these days; it seems like it’s the same conversations over and over and I’m part of that problem.
