How's it going, guys?
I'm an aspiring young author, just trying my best to create quirky, unique short stories for the purpose of entertainment. I love the idea of shock value, but I never place it above composition quality.
Although the boards seem to be in a bit of a lull at the moment, I hope to post here, so as to better perfect my craft, and to get to know the others in the writing scene.

I sense much seriousness in this one. I call dibs on making him my lab monkey!
Welcome fratkin. Allow me to simultaneously greet you and break down my character: Hi, I'm Chris/Dumbo/Fishcake/Illiteracy/Shlow-Mo/Metuselah/FunkyDancer17 (code for "I'm turning this thread about you into a thread about me because of my unfailingly prevalent ego by using my seemingly innocuous greeting as a chance to display how popular I am by the amount of nicknames bestowed upon me"). I'm the mod of the Fiction stories section, so I expect I'll be reviewing much of your work in the near future (code for "I'm letting you know that I hold some clout here and I'm trying to intimidate you with my power by rubbing it in your face while suggesting in no uncertain terms that I definitely expect to see your stories in an deceptively amiable way to lure you into a false sense of security"). I hope you learn much, teach much, read much, write much and have much. Fun that is! (code for "I'm telling you what my standards are if you're going to hang around here in a manner that implies that that's what I do when I'm here thus making you know in a way that if you want to be a part of whats going on here you'd better emulate the fantabulousness that is me, and again I am doing so in a disarming manner that also displays that I have the capacity to be cute and witty").
Without further ado, welcome. Don't be shy to hop to it. ("Enough with the pleasantries already; do as I say and mingle!")

You forgot Scarecrow. And a few less polite names.
I'm Angie, one of the admins. I'm quite busy right now, so I'm on a semi-hiatus, but once I come back, I'll probably help get the site out of the lull and perhaps review some of your short stories (I love short stories - I'm honestly to lazy to ever read any long works posted here ;D ).

Ooh ouch Angie, as cutting as ever, I see. The wonder of IP adresses. *cough* See Chris, you've only gone and frightened him away. . . I see you haven't managed to catch up with my post count yet even if I have been out of the country for over a week. Honestly. Ah well, all the more easy for me. Muahahaha. Go on someone - spampig me, I dare yar. Oh and umm, hi fratkin. *sheepish grin*

It's amazing how even though she's technically on hiatus Angie can find the time to burn me. Am I that obvious a target?
You're lucky I've been frazzled lately Steven, or I would have noticed that you're still clobbering me in the post count numbers. But I find that I am a horrid competitor when I'm worried about how well my opponent's doing, so I'm going to employ a new strategy towards beating you: I'm just gonna ignore the fact that we're in a competition at all. *smirks* Yeah, that'll show you.
And you, fratkin, had better bring a biohazard suit and your A-game when you're here next time; I have a lot of work for you to do.
*whispers* Don't forget the, ahem, uh, coughcoughbodycoughahemcoughcoughahemcoughbagscoughcoughahemcough.

"Out of the country"? You don't need a passport to go to Wales. Yes, I'm aware that it's a different country, but you were hardly in Aus.

Most of these posts were made after the day fratkin joined, and no one has logged into the account since that day, so it just might not be us. . .

Or maybe he read past posts after posting that, and decided to run away as quickly and quietly as possible.
