newbie intro

Been passing through here on and off for years, but haven't really stopped long enough to feel I should introduce myself until now. But hey, hit a positive conjunction of "sick of facebook" and "just finished a story" and needed to fill the sudden void, so here I am.

I'm Suzanne, I write mostly space opera with occasional forays into ridiculousness. Not sure what else to say, so there it is. (-:

Thanks, everyone. As I mentioned, I've been lurking here off and on for a long time, so I don't feel so much like a newbie as some creepy stranger whose been hiding in the bushes watching the happy families picnic in the park. (-;

Except, IRL, I'm not actually creepy. Honest, I swear!

Drowning in butter, natch.

Have to confess, I have been as yet unable to figure out what "SYW" means. At least for the time being I'm less looking for help so much as looking for community, fwiw.

Welcome Suzanne! I know how you feel. I was a lurker for a long time before actually jumping into the fray. So I totally believe you when you say you aren't creepy in real life.

Naw, the creepy people all have Orlando Bloom in their avatars, it's a well-known fact.

Oh and SYW is Share Your Work (I believe).

w00t, thanks! That makes sense (-:

Welcome, Suzanne. Sometimes it's just fun being creepy. Where do you get the Orlando Bloom avatar?

I believe it's incumbent upon all aspiring creepy-folk to photoshop an existing Orlando Bloom photo to add elements either reflecting the genre or character of your current WIP. I also believe you have to do the work yourself, and there's bonus creepitude points if the elements conflict in humorous ways and/or the resulting character is a clearly if ludicrously improbable Mary Sue.

But I could be wrong. Real creepy people might just have woodchucks in track suits. I'm not really sure anymore.

Or maybe creepy people ARE woodchucks in track suits, wearing human disguises. It'd explain granola.
