Hi everyone!
After reading some of the great stories here, I thought it was time to introduce myself. Thanks to Zee and Talasi for telling me about this place which is fantastic.
On the weekend, I will be re-attempting fan fic and posting the first chapter here. A BETA has been something of a challenge to find, so I'm going to go straight ahead anyway.
I'm looking forward to hearing from some of you and wish everyone well in their writing endeavours. Take care!
Deb,

Welcome to the Open Scrolls Archive. Let me be the first to welcome you, and give you a taste of the madness that shall ensue once the rest of the regulars pop in.
 Hello, my name is Shanalir, and I'm a color wheel addict. (As diagnosed by Ghettoelleth.) I'm also the proprietor of the local Sense of Humour Lost & Found and Locker Room. If you lose your sense of humour, stop by. People here are really very good about turning in any stray sense of humor that is found wandering around with out a person attached. If you forget your sense of humour, we have loaners available, now labeled and categorized according to quirks. The Locker Room is for temporary storage of your sense of humour, in the event you want it out of the way. Eventually we plan on having a locker room each for your Sense of Drama, Sense of Angst and Sense of Confusion. They will probably be in the planning stage for a while yet, though. We were starting to draw up plans for the additional locker rooms, but that came to a grinding halt when we discovered that all we were drawing up was really bad cartoons of Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. So now we need to find a competent architect. Then we need to decide what order to build them in. Fun, fun.
Ennyhoo, that's a little taste of the kind of insanity that abounds here. Welcome and enjoy!

A competent architect? Ooh..sorry I can't help you there..I specialize in incompetency and writing instructions that make no sense whatsoever. A building is less likely to be standing by noon hour that way..hehehehe
Thanks a lot and nice to meet you!
Deb

OOOH, a Canadian! Welcome dear, and as your referrals have told you, this is a wonderful place. And i get to be the first to say
HOWDY!!!! and I'll add a Howdy from my other half, Rocheron, who will be out of town for a couple of weeks.
anyway, spit warning: put the coffe down before reading new posts, unless you really like cleaning your monitor and keyboard.
The other nuts should be along anytime to join the welcome wagon!!

Welcome, Raven, to OSA.
I'm going to leap right in here and encourage you to keep looking for that beta. There is a Beta section in this forum which may help - it's kind of a combination "help wanted" and "looking for work" all-purpose board. Check it out; you may find someone who gets hooked on the idea of your fic and can't wait to help or you may find someone already offering to beta the kind of fic you are writing. Good luck!
Of course, if you ignore my advice and post anyway I may just have to get out my so-called little red pencil of death  - fair warning!
(really, I mean to be helpful ... )
NB on a never-ending quest to stamp-out typos everywhere!

She does too - she had to buy a new monitor cause she couldn't see through all of the red ink!
Welcome to OSA!! Any friend of Zee's is...well...usually nuts.  But you will fit right in here with the other nuts. I am, of course, not one of them. I am just sweet and innocent.  Whose laughing? I can hear you!!! Now stop that laughing right now. It must be Shanilar's Lost and Found section laughing cause everyone else knows I am the picture of purity.

Well met Deb. I must say I approve whole-heartedly of your choice of meat- I mean men. PHLF? Me? Bah! Pish tosh.  Welcome to OSA and don't let anybody try to kid you, we're all a bunch of loons and extremely fun. Just watch out: kinda like llamas, sometimes they spit. I am proud to say I have heeded all spit warnings and have yet to need to wash my monitor. They mean it when they say put down your coffee/ beverage.

Hi!!!! Enjoy the craziness while you're around, it's one of the major attractions in this site! And we'll be looking forward to that story, I'm sure people will love it, beta or no beta. And don't worry, you'll soon find out there are tons of people here who actually enjoy helping out, so a beta will probably come forward sooner or later!
