So my screen name is, obviously, Prince Paradox. I have yet to invent a nickname, so feel free to make suggestions. If you've read The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, then you'll know where the name comes from.

Also, I am a girl. Hence the Paradox. Sort of. It's really more of an oxymoron, but Prince Oxymoron doesn't sound near as catchy.

Anyway, my obsessions include Fruits Basket and Final Fantasy VII. My passion is English in general (yes, diagramming included). I like to read fantasy. My favorite authors are Jacqueline Carey and Brandon Sanderson. And though I claim to be a writer, I don't actually write a lot. But I am happy with what little I have written, and am trying to write more.

Lastly, my favorite transitional words are 'also' and 'anyway.' :roll:

Score! I've seen these emoticons before. Except that this site doesn't have Gonk. Or 3nod. Ahh! And no Domo-kun. But it does have Mr. Green. :mrgreen:

Ooh, and a spell check. Jackpot.

Well, it is somewhat late and my mood is a bit feyish at the moment, but I don't think I'll change much between now and tomorrow. So maybe you'll still like me.

Anyway, I'm enjoying myself.

Hello! Welcome to YWS. Can I call you Para-chan? ^_^ Cool username.

I liked Fruits Basket until about book ten. I've never played the Final Fantasy games but the movies were good. :twisted: is my favorite emoticon. What type of stuff do you write?

See you around. :twisted:

I concur! Cool name, cool newbie. Fand-tastic!

Oh, don't judge me, it's still early yet. *yawns*

And I will hereby reiterate that requisite promise made to all new members; have questions, will travel. Or... something like that, anyway. Yeah.

I sense a gaiaonline person from your mentions of a domo icon and gonk :D Hooray! Welcome to the site!

I just read Dorian Gray so I felt excited that I knew what you were talking about in reference to your name.

P.S. Nice Cloud icon. ^_^ And if you have any questions you can PM me!

Wow, warm welcome. Thanks!

@jenna: Para-chan is okay with me. As for what I like to write, I don't really have a specific genre. I'm working on a romance right now, and I've tried dipping into fantasy. And I have a couple of strange, short nonfiction pieces that need work. But that's about it.

Hi, Prince Paradox -


I'm mostly known about the poetry forums for being a tough (or something) critiquer, but lately I've gained somewhat of an audience in Other Fiction with my writing.

Anyway, I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have--and even ones you don't--so let me know if you need anything.


Take care,
Brad

@ Incadescence: Oh! I read your poem on the first page and liked it. :o

Just so everyone knows, I have no problem with harsh critiques. Really. So feel free in the future, if you happen to see me post something. I thought I'd settle in first.

Poetry, though, isn't my strong point. >.>

@luna: Yeah, I'm trying to migrate from Gaia to here, or some neat writing-oriented place. A smaller forum is much more appealing, and 2 years is a long time to hang around one site. I did really like those smilies though.

I appreciate the warm welcome from everyone. Best one I've had yet.

Hey, I am also an awkward newbie, so it's nice to see that there is somebody else out there that is just starting!

My name is Sammi, but as my screen name says, I also go by Ditty, and if you guys want to call me that, that's aweseome!

I'm a college student going to school for music, but acting and writing are my other two passions, which is why I'm here!

I have lots of blogs and lots of ideas, and I thought coming to a site like this would help give me a little guidance!

So yeah, me in a nutshell!!
