Hey,

I'm 23 years old, majoring in linguistics, and I'm writing a novel. It's probably not gonna be a terribly good novel, but it's mine, so I like it, and it's a story that just wanted to be told, so I guess I might as well let it out, right?

I have to my name one single writing credit, and that is as the sole author of a very short supplement for a roleplaying game. Still, it's something.

I'm hoping to get published and earn some money on it, of course, but I'm not placing any bets on it. Still, if I don't even try, there's no chance, right?

So, anyway, I got shunted in the direction of this place by my girlfriend, who also posts here, and is a total geek like me.

So, I guess I just wanted to say, hello, nice to meet you all, and I hope to have some nice chats with you all :) .

Persistent pestering presently produces payoff ;) .

Also, I'm apparently a fish, now. This makes me worried about Alleycat's avatar.

Don't worry. We don't eat newbies. We tried; they taste terrible.

Oh, I know! With or without the BBQ sauce, they still...

Wait - you're not just trying to trick me into lowering my guard, are you?

You're clever for a newbie.

In a haze of post-joining excitement, I bought a subscription to keep the board going. And then discovered by accident that it gave me clever user title changing powers. Thus I am not a fish and can make cat-like threats. mwahahahaha!

wait, how did you become a 'paranoid fish'?? :p
Well, wouldn't you if everyone was out to eat you? I swear - do you have any idea how traumatizing it is to walk through downtown these days? Spot a sushi place, and see their menu, and, oh, no! Uncle Bob!
