tout le monde! (No, I'm not french, but am trying to learn)

My name is justbishop, or JB, and a friend of mine (horsewommanr (sp?)) from another EJW board directed me here on the basis of the phenominal fanfic section...let me say that I'm quite impressed, and hope to be posting some of my work here soon :)

A little bit about me:

I admit, I wasn't a Lij fan til I saw LOTR, but I have been quite devoted (in mind, anyway) since.

I am 24, and recently married. No human kids yet, but I have aquired lots of furry (and scaly) ones: 3 ferrets, a dog, a cat, 2 pet rats, and a cornsnake.

I am unemployed at the moment, but my last job was managing a pet store here in SC. I want to stay in the pet industry because I love animals, and am particularly intrested in dogs :) If you know nothing else about me, know that I love to talk about animals:)

I am also currently writing a book about dog training, so if you have a doggie problem, feel free to ask!

Hope I didn't overload you w/ info, and look forward to hanging out with you all!

3 cheers for whoever loves dogs ^_^
have one myself (called Bilbo)
let me know when you posted your fanfic
:yes:

Will do :)

and BTW, who could not love them?! lol :yay:

Hey JB my girl
I'm so pleased you joined. I sure look forward to see your wonderful prose here.
Any one who has read JB's work will know she's GOOD! Those of you who haven't.
You're in for a treat. :yay:


BTW
Willow, Bijou, and Boris say MEOW! (That's pussy for HI) We are headed for a CFA cat show this weekend. (SSHHH don't tell them!):unsure:

I look forward to your stories. :yes:

And good luck on your job search :yayay:

:ewac:

Hey JB!

:lmao: That, amidst everything else, cracked me up for some reason haha! I'd love to get a dog but due to space constraint and all, we didn't have one. Ahh, the bad points of living in a flat, or as you may call it, 'apartment' in such a small country. I don't know anyone who has more than 3 pets, and that's rare even.

Hope to see you around the forum more!

Hello JB,

Welcome, welcome, welcome here on ewac.
Thanks for the compliment about our fanfiction, it's really appreciated!!

:yay: :yay: :yay: for the animal/ dogie thing. I have a dog too, a really bad behaved dog actually :blush:

Well I hope you have fun and I hope to see you around!
Greetz
Dana

Thank you all so much for the wonderful welcome! I really think I'm gonna have a great time here :)

Thx so much for the compliment, Luci! I look forward to posting stuff here too!

Just curious, Ryvyan, what small country do you live in? And isn't it funny how the English language differs from countyry to country?

No problem, girl! I really am impressed by the attention that was given to fanfic here!

As for your dog, what kind of problems are you having? Maybe I can help...let me know ;)2

Hi JB!

WELCOME!!! thnx for joining!

He ate my craker! :cry:

Hey JB!

I really can just join the others...
Great to have you here and thanks for the compliments, we are trying to keep this as cuddly as possible ;)

*grins* keep directing ;), nah seriously I was quite pleasantly surprised to see ppl from a&f join here, since most of us actually come from EWFN... *shrugs*

Oh yes! Absolutely!

That is SO not true, Danny! He is so cute!
She just say that because he likes me *sobbs*
hehe... no he is really a sweet thing, and Dana is just whiny ;)

Ok... he ate poor Sophie's cracker... but who knows maybe it was food poisoned and he saved her life? *shrugs* ;)

for your explanation... we three met up at Dana's house for new year *grins* So we all got to know the cute doggie...
and it snowed... *siiighs*

ok I kinda got into a complete ramble here...

man... shut up ;)

hug

Welcome JB, it's a pleasure noticing how the news is being spread around the net (eheheh! glances the Admins here, winking).

I am sure you are going to have a good time and we will enjoy reading your fics!

:laugh:

Thx again everyone! As for the dog eating your cracker...why was the cracker unattended where the dog could reach it, LOL (us trainers have a way of replacing "bad dog" with "bad person" :laugh: )

Lol

Bad Sophie
*waves finger*

Hahahaha....so I didn't do anything wrong after all.
Mwuaha
:laugh:

Hey JB,

I'm Leslie/Lessy.
I hope you like it here!!
I'm so glab you like animals....so do I!!
I have 1 dog and 7 birds...

hope to see yea around!!
^_^

ooohhh, I love birds! I used to have 2 white doves (War and Peace,) and they hatched 2 babies (Chaos and Order.) I loved the sounds they made ^_^

I also used to have an Indian Ringnecked Parakeet. His name was Harley (after Harley Quinn in Batman.) He was a cool bird, but I couldn't keep him in an apt. He was just too loud :(

*lol*
My mom is such an animal freak...
through my whole childhood she adopted so many wild animals that were sick of something... an little fox, hedgehog, many birds etc.
And we used to have donkeys, sheep and goats... chicken... dogs, cats...
Really... now that I live on my own I keep my hands of animals *lol*
Traumatizised...

lol

Traumatized?! I would have LOVED to grow up like that! I envy you ^_^

Oh no you don't!

And not with a mom who can't keep her flat tidy and loves the stupid animals better then her kids...
Takes better care of them then for you...

whatever... the donkeys were cool...

Hey JB

Welcome to the forums and I have to say that my mom is also a animal freak. She loves cats and at one point we use to have 18 cats (3 adults and 15 kittens. Two of the adult cats were female and they weren't neurted so that's why the 15 kittens.) But don't worry, we now have 3 new cats.

Hope you have fun here.

Lizzie

*gets up an soapbox...* And they're all spayed and neutered this time, right? ^_^

Thx for the welcome! I am already having lots of fun here!

Yes they are. I meant to say that I have two cats instead of three.

Sorry about that.

Lizzie

BTW, can anyone explain the "casting call" thing to me?

Off course we can
*smiles*

It's pretty simple actually.
If you have decided to write a certain fanfic. You need to have people in them. Some authors use imaginary characters but others ask people if they want to play along in a fic. Be one of the characters. That is a casting call...asking people to play along in your fic. I have noticed that some authors pick people who fit to the person they had in mind and other authors adapt the story to the persons who apply.

Advantage is usually that people who play along in a fic will read it to.

But not every author uses them. Some people ask friends or make imaginary characters. It's just what you want, you prefer.

Hum I hope I explained it a bit. English isnb't my own language so it is sometimes difficult to explain things!

Well, I think you did wonderfully...thanx ^_^
