Hello everyone, I apologise for not coming her first. I've probably been a bit hasty and annoyed a some of the established members, but I apologise and I won't do it again. My name is Tony and you can probably guess what I'm up to - many new members are probably aspiring new writers, and I'm one of their number. Even though I've read a handful of short stories and novels, I'm no expert so I'll be learning all the way. As for genres, I prefer a mix of science fiction and super heroes.
Well Hello! Welcome aboard. Idk how long you've been around but I hope you've read the Rules. If not there's a tab at the top. And while your at it, you may as well check out the new "New Member Quick Start" which has much of the same info, but in a more fun and engaging layout. Anyway, glad to have you. I'm sure you'll find everything you're looking for, just participate, be nice, an have fun exploring. And hey, Sci-fi, super-hero is about where I am right now anyway. I must reluctantly admit it's probably due to the trend right now. Even so, I've always written about super characters so it's not too different I don't think.
Hi, Tony, and welcome to the forum! I actually came here to give you the standard new-member welcome, but I see @Andrae Smith has already done that. (Thanks, Andrae!) Anyway, this is a great forum for writers, as I'm sure you've already discovered. Enjoy the place, why dontcha?
Welcome. Some of the members are published writers, but most of us are, like you (and me) still in the "aspiring" category. I think of this as a very large study group, where we all are learning from one another. Enjoy!
NP, @minstrel! You mods get busy, so it's no trouble doing some of the meet and greet. This is a good way to think about it! I've learned so much here, and made some good friends too.
Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone. Whoops, looks like I shouldn't rely entirely on the spell checker I'll have a look around and try my hand at critiquing.
