For me it was 2000, I think. Which doesn't seem right, but... yikes. Talk about a long time ago. I've also changed my name on there several times, but they only have the most recent one listed. Ironically they also have the "shared accounts" I've had with people listed as well. But those stories never went anywhere, which was sad. It's fun writing collaborative.
Orly 8)! Well, as far as starting points go, sometimes it's easier to pick one aspect out of the many - focusing on a smaller idea rather than a larger one, and lead into it that way. For example, like what you've just said 8)! And from there you can expand on what originated the idea, backstory and possible evolutions from that point. The best thing about explaining in text conversations is that you can just look back over what has been said already and just build on it, or fill in something you realize you left out. ... Which sounds a whole lot more complicated than it actually is, but it's different once you get rolling with it. Kind of like theory, in a way.
I'm that predictable, huh :P We'll see what happens.
