Unpublished "Writer" Says Hi

Hi.

My work here is done. *Whoosh*


...

OK, I'm back.

Not sure how to give a proper introduction. But, this being the internet, I'll either do an amazing job compared to the median, or I'll be tarred and flamed merely for becoming accessible.

I am interested in writing in the fantasy genre, sort of. My passions are many, with a lot of variety. So, I write my fantasy with "historical accuracy" in mind, along with inspiration from unexpected sources.


I'm very happy to meet you all--all being the name of whoever bothers to read and/or reply to this post.

Hope you found this post entertaining. If it came across as sardonic, I'll have to cut back on this sort of posting/writing--it is, after all, very hard to read tone in text (without me writing, "Mask said, staring whimsically off into the sunset from his white horse as they etc. etc.").

Thank you very much for welcoming me, All. I--wait... there is actually a lot of you? Well, guess I can't call you all All--that'd be silly.

So, let's try that again: Thanks Alley.

Thanks for the automated response. No, seriously, thanks--I hate digging up these links. You saved me a lot of trouble.

Hello and welcome!

I promise I have no tar and nothing flammable. Don't look behind me because there is nothing there- I swear!

My latest work is fantasy with a bit of hidden historical creative licensing. Hopefully you'll post some of your stuff soon.

Who are the pleasant fellows behind you might I--Hey, what are they doing? AH! I said this would happen!

*1 minute later*

Good thing I hacked my Constitution this morning, or that would've hurt.

The fact this forum has angry mob smilies which I can use for dark purposes is an testament to its quality. Looking forward to using that one.

Glad to meet another fantasy writer--especially one who is a fan of history. As for showing my work soon... hmm.. soon. Well, if I post fifty times, I can get it up in a few minutes; minus the jail time I'll no doubt get for being the first person to five times decuple post. Considering that... I think I'll have it ready by next week! Assuming you don't get the electric chair for five times decuple posting (I can always hack my Constitution further, if you do).

Welcome Mr. Mask!
Hope you enjoy your time at AW. I'm new here as well but it seems like an amazing place.

Thanks Mr. Tinker! Being able to ramble on as silly as I can manage is already enjoyable for me.

Personally, I prefer the icecream cooler--but the company here makes the water worth while.

Checked it out before I made an account. Might read it over again, though.

Welcome Mr. Mask! Funny post. I laughed.

Thanks Mr. Granada! You laughed? My ambition has been fulfilled! ..... Now I need a new one.

MR. Mask

Welcome to AW! You should fit right in!

Mr. N

Thank you for your welcome. However... I question whether you fully understand the kind of individual you are letting into your midst. Though, maybe it's better you don't.

Welcome Mr. Mask! See you 'round the boards.

Remember folks, when I pop up in strange places: Snowstorm and DanielS are to blame.

Welcome to the community! May we revel in our unpublishedness for a moderate amount of time. ;D

I do like myself some good revelling. Similar to my like of rebelling. Revelling also under retelling in the dictionary, which is another word I like.

Hi, Mr, Mask.

Hi Filigree (I'm all out of Mr.s, save the one I used in these "()"s)! Thanks for coming and welcoming me.

DeeSutter said:

I told you not to look behind me. *sheesh*

Click to expand...

Don't think of elephants.

Oh look, I turned into a lovely yellow teacup. A bit lopsided, though. ...Actually, maybe I'm a gravy pitcher (is that what you call them?)?

DeeSutter said:

I believe you are thinking of a gravy boat. If you've been turned into a cup, please be a coffee cup. I need more caffeine.

Click to expand...

If that's a gravy boat, then what's a gravy train?

Will have to decline on being an object made for holding 300% of its mass in coffee--I'd never get to sleep.

Thanks Kelly. I'm looking over the links I've been gifted with, till I feel well enough to do some more posting. I'll probably start posting in the welcome forums threads, later.
