Hi everyone, and thanks to whoever the admin was that helped get my account activated after I didn't receive a validation email.

Not sure if people go by their real names or handles here, so for now, I'm Byeka. I've written a YA urban fantasy novel and will eventually be hoping to post in the share my work forum for a query critique, but not until I've sufficiently contributed first ;)

Anyway, hello to all other writers.

I'm also an indie game developer who started learning to code last October. I've released one game on Google Play since then and have a growing YouTube channel where I post game dev tutorials.

Cheers!

Hello Byeka,

Welcome to AW. I'm new to the forum as well. I think people here go by handles, or at least that's what I chose to do. Good luck on refining and publishing.

Thanks very much! And I suppose in that case, also welcome to you, fellow newbie :).

Hi Byeka,

I'm pretty new too. Well, in a way. I joined something like eleven years ago, then promptly forgot. I only remembered that this forum exists a couple of weeks ago and have been hanging out since then.

Thanks again for the welcomes everyone, and a special thanks to Lisa for helping activate my account. I still have no idea what happened to that validation email... lol.

Good to see there are so many active people here. Inactivity can kill a forum.

regdog, I appreciate all the info and no worries, I definitely want a critique but not until I've sufficiently earned it! I have no plan on spamming or speed boosting to get there.

Welcome to the board! It's so nice to find one where there are people here the same time you are! So many have just faded away . . .

I gave up on handles -too many good ones I wanted to use - and just use my name . . . although sometimes I use a nickname which is also part of my romance pen name.
