Hiya,

Well I am a bloke, I live in the UK [Bedford, it's so crap!]. I love reading sci-fi and fantasy. My fave authors are Kim Stanley Robinson [his red mars trilogy is great], Steven Erikson [The 'Tales from the Malazan Book of the Dead' saga is the most amazing read and it's currently 6 main books long, with at least 2 inner stories (it's really confucing but well worth the read)] and Terry Pratchett, need I give reasons?


I adore writing poetry and short stories, though I haven't really done it since school and that was a long time ago. I currently get my writing fix by playing several Star Trek RPG's, mainly 'Star Trek: Freedom' it's just great.

Anything else you'd like to know? Just ask.

hi, nice to see someone new. I was going to get round to reading the steven erikson books soon so i'm glad you think there good.

Just so we know, how old are you?

Sorry, I'm 24.

Gardens of the Moon is the best book and it's great as a stand alone book. You'll need your head to work properly when you start Deadhouse Gates as the story really gets confusing, and it just gets weirder and weirder from there on in!

I think there is a website: http://malazan.com/eve good resource for the Empire!

Hi PurpleWitch! ^_^
nice of you to join us!

welcome :D

Hello! ^_^

Star Trek RPGs? I love the shows, but I think I would find it really difficult to remember all the terminology for an RPG! Sounds good though

Well anyway, welcome to the site :D

Not at all, it's really easy to get the hang of it, as most of the stuff is on the website so you don't have to worry about making stuff up!

Ack I hate space programs (with the exception of red dwarf) but any way welcome and if people tell you me and aine are scary there lying! its all lies!!!

I'm sure they are!

Thanks, what do you all do here any way?

hi

Hiya, hows you?

Hi, PurpleWitch. I'm The Thought Fox, currently running this here loony bin. I'm also on Star Trek: Freedom (GC, stop laughing!), so i assume you followed the link in my email sig to get here.

Welcome. The idea of this forum is to make friends who love writing just as much as you do. In the various writings/plot/char discussion forums you can show off some of your work that you're proud of, or that you think you could improve. We also have the contests and RPG forum just for a bit of fun.

Other than that, we mainly chat on here. So welcome, once again, and make yourself at home.

Thought so! So who do you play and what ship? (I can't remember anyhting!)

lol. Counsellor John Harrison, USS Nimitz.

*smirks* cant help it m8, its just....you... (not in a bad why of course)

*gives a business card that says "Hello. Im T Fox's evil nemisis. yell once for random torture, twice for loose nuns, thrice for murder. for all other enquires please scream directly at the card. P.s. join the nemisis club a get a free ham."*

O.....................................kay then...................!

The trick with GC is to just smile, nod, and keep a crucifix handy.

i think i'll just laugh... :D :lol:

and me!

*sniggers quietly in a corner*

lol, GC that made me laugh! ....I think i've been stuck in the house too long :P

Hi, I'm DL4, resident forum goddess, currently holidaying in the world of dial up (NOOOOOO)

Terry Pratchett? reasons? He raawks. Have read em all except the new hardback ones, i think. Have you read Good Omens? I think its him and Neil Gaimen (sp?)
so good

Oh, I'm a fantasy fan *loves Robin Hobb, Elizabeth Hayden etc etc* and a character driven writer who cureently has a block. Gr!

And I love the rocking music of My Chemical Romance.

and \I've written a lot cos I won't be online for another long long week. NOOOOOO

Awwww you poor thing, never mind though coz you will have more to say when you return from whence you came [or summit like that!!]

I've not read Good Omens, but I have read Going Postal "A secret society of Postmen, I mean...why?!" I p*ss*d myself at that bit!!

Pratchett comes up with the most original yet strange ideas :D

Indeed he does!

I dislike him. elizabeth haydons gud though.

i've heard that name... what books has she written?

I think one of thems called Rhapsody but im not sure DL4 raves about them alot so after a while its easier to block it out but I do agree that Terry Pratchett rocks

O.<
o.O
i have no idea whats going on....
la lala

That was a pointless post, so i think i'll close this thread before there's any more.
