Um. Hello!
So I stumbled into your little community here and, well. I like what I'm seeing. The other day I decided to take a deep breath and get all those notes and ideas that have been playing in my head (and little text files, and notebooks, and-) together into something that resembles a fantasy novel... And I thought, I'll need feedback once I get this thing off its feet...
So... Here I am! *Waves frantically*
I'll probably spend the time reviewing away for starters though, I've nothing to show you guys - Yet. Good thing "review before you post your stuff" seems to be the custom here anyway.
Looking forward to getting to know you all. Well, at least some of you!  |

*waves frantically back* Hi!!!!!!!!! and welcome!!!
I see you've done a bit of homework, a.k.a. "Good thing 'review before you post your stuff' seems to be the custom here anyway". Lovely. You probably aren't in need of much assistance then, yet.
Good luck on your novel! I've tried it myself more than once, but I don't have the persistence. Maybe I'm just not cut out for it. But I hope it goes well for you, and I'm very excited to read when you have some things for us. In the meantime, however, there are plenty of little spots where you can ask vague questions to get some advice, and do a little venting now and then if necessary:)
I do look forward to getting to know you as well -- I really like the quote in your signature, by the way. Very true.
Anyway, have fun getting to know the site. You'll love it, I know:)

Welcome!
You're right about our review before you post policy. The rule is everyone must post 2 reviews for every work they submit. ^_^ So if you go ahead and review a bunch, you won't have to worry later when you're novel's under way.
=P You talking about your notes and jotted down ideas reminds me of myself. ^_^ I have so many random files around I don't know what to do with them. Good luck!
PM me if you have any questions or if you have something you need a critique on.
^_^ Keek! |

Hey there, fresh meat! Haha.
One piece of warm welcome coming up! Hey, wait a minute... "Little" community? You might want to take that back or else...
Haha I'm Demeter. How do you do?. It's a lovely day, isn't it? (Well, it isn't.)
Now I'm rambling. I like that, but you may not, so I'll stop now. Good luck with your novel, by the way – I look forward to get to know you and your work!
So read the rules, have fun, etc. etc. etc. And PM me if there's anything you want to ask!
See you around,
Demeter xx |

Well, if you need any help with it, I'd be glad to help!
Seeya 'round!
