| Hey, everyone! I'm kinda new to this site, been looking through for about a month now. I finally decided to join because I got frustrated by reading all of these great stories, and not being able to tell the authors how much I liked them. Not intending to post anything just yet, maybe if I get a good idea, the time to write it out, the courage to actually let someone else read it, and about fifty good betas (or one excellent, LOL) to tell me it's worth posting. Main thing is, I have fallen in love with this archive and these stories, and couldn't stand not being a part of it all. |

Welcome, Shanalir ... I'm glad you decided to come out of the woodwork and into the forum.

Oh, we love people like you. We really do!

 Well, you'll find plenty of betas applicants around here as well as supportive readers. I can't think of a site more encouraging of new writers/posters.

Hi Shanalir. We always love readers as well as writers. Hope you turn out to be both!
Since I see no one has warned you yet, I will--look out for the strangefolk that hide in the forum and spring on unexpecting newbies. They should be coming to this thread soon and I'm sure you will recognize them easily. 
Welcome!

Hmmm.... what are you implying Ellisk?
HOWDY Shanalir! (snicker snicker Texas and Ya - I am back in the game!) Hope you enjoy the threads as well as the stories. We like to have fun and play. Innocent fun. No one gets hurts. Well one time Ghetto lost the ability to type but I am not sure that had anything to do with us. Although I am sure that somehow I will get blamed.
I am the innocent one who frequently gets blamed for it all. Ghetto is the corrupter and holder of all nekked mins. DEC is, well DEC is DEC. Texas is the hellion. Yavanie is the one that appears to be innocent and sweet but her and her husband (the lurker) secretly plot to stir up trouble then stand back and watch. Space is the normal one coughcoughyarightcoughcough. Viv is funny one and the princess of the Space Llamas. Maram is the sweet one. Artanis is the baby with the ass avie. Zee is the voice of insanity. Vana is, well Vana has disappeared, but the Trees Remember her. Inglor is the testosterone input. I do not know Ellisk well enough to put in a category yet but I am gonna scope her out and get the dirt!
The others, well they are all either insane or cool. Everyone here is cool. I cannot possibly explain them all. I am sure that you will soon see the personalities of the OSA gang. Its not like we have been able to hide it so far. 
When the others come along - they will talk about Penguins probably. Don't ask. You probably don't want to know!

Shanalir, I'm so glad you decided to join up! We're a pretty easy group here, if a little silly sometimes (there is currently something peculiar going on and it has to do with penguins... questions? ask Ghettoelleth. She is, apparently, the Penguin Purveyor).
Maram68 and I run the challenges (see the challenge section on the bottom left-hand corner of the main index page), so if you have any questions about those, please feel free to give me a holler.
There are also quizzes and reading groups and caption competitions and a bunch of other ways to waste your time, er, become involved in our little community.
Welcome! |

Pink penguins!
Hi, SilverMoonLady here (Sil for short, SML even shorter, Silly if you really need accuracy! )
PHF and general champion of lost causes; mostly normal, except for today... but that is because of the penguins... 
But anyways, welcome to the fun! The ale is on me... mostly!

Yes, Al is right about DEC.
DEC is DEC and will always be DEC because DEC rules, but loves everyone equally.

I forgot Thu, the Sindarin Goddess, Haleth - the Sil queen, and Wenont the fight coordinator. SML - the Hobbit corrupter. MOB the ranger seducer. Whew - I bet I forgot more.

Why nothing at all Alassante! *Looks side to side shiftily* *Whispers behind hand to newbie: this is one of them! Run! Save yourself!
If they could read or if we took them to see the movies, do you think penguins would be PEF, PHF or PMF? I wonder.

Depends on whether they be Pink Puffins or Purple Penguins...

Al beat me (and TexasGirl) again!!!! Don't listen to anything she says 'cause she slightly outta focus (course so are we while we drool over her delicious avie of Elrohir)! The rest of the gang will be along shortly I'm sure. There are NO penguins in Texas (except maybe at SeaWorld which is very far from the ocean  )
anyway, Howdy and welcome and join the rest of the fun and all that!!! (and yes, please review, the authors live for it!!)

Yo Shanalir!
Wenont here...
Yup, we come like buzzards to a hog killin', the lot of us do! Welcome to the sandbox...Love readers, we do, we do, we do....after all, what would us writers do without readers? Um...do not answer that...I think I just opened a can of worms...
Ah...well...again, welcome and if you do decide to write (which I hope you do someday...), give me a jingle if your characters need to spring a can of whup ass on any hell spawn...I will be more than happy to oblige!  |
