New fish? When did I become a fish? Did I miss something?

For lack of a better word... hi.
Not got much to say for myself- only been writing a few years, have been serious for about two. I'm studying Creative Writing at uni and still finding my preferred genres, but I seem to lean towards fantasy so far; any escape from reality is good to me.

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

The moment I saw the gills moving under your shirt, I knew.

I write mainly scifi/fantasy too :D
Escape from reality is good, but what about rewriting reality? I've done many-a-story where the modern day bully suddenly gets eaten by a dinosaur... >D Just for fun though, LOL.

Welcome. Nice user name slogan. Maybe you should write humor?

I can honestly say I didn't notice, no. Suppose that teaches me not to be unobservant, hmm?

If I did that, I'd end up with the vast majority of the world devoured... and one very sick dinosaur. I don't believe any dinosaur deserves that :p
