Greetings everyone,

Now that I'm officialy a member of PBB, I thought it prudent to say hello to everyone. While lurking, I noticed the exquisite comaraderie amongst everyone and felt the need to join. I just hope my penchant for bad luck doesn't follow me here...

Well, should it indeed follow you, I am sure the positive force of this place and it's people will most defiantly counteract it. Smile

And a greeting pat on the shoulder for you as well.

Clark: Look, they're responding! How wonderful!

Cousin Howard: Now for the Coup De Grace, tell them you're a war hero.

Clark: I'm not taking advice from you anymore, not after that carriage fire!

Howard: Nonsense, you're as boring as biscuits. We need to exaggerate a little...

Clark: Stop it, don't interfere!

*the two are now fighting over the quill* *a bookcase falls on Clark, pinning him down*

Howard: Victory! Let's see... you rescued the queen, invented the corset...

Clark: My... my back...

Here's to an interesting year!

Rather than the previous "song and dance" number, I probably should have done this instead.

I'll tell you a little about myself. My real name is Edward, I'm thirty years of age and live in the U.S. I was, up until a few months ago, a writer of fan fiction. Sadly, I crashed that car and ruined my own parade, so to speak. The community I belonged to was engaged in a forum debate, one for which I allowed a measure of tactless hostility to override good judgement, and I found myself... well... unwelcome. I attempted to distance myself from the situation, but found the falling out had a more profound effect on me than expected.

My muse was dead.

Whenever I tried to write anything it always turned out hostile, sardonic, and worst of all, disrespectful to the source material. Reconciliation proved implausible, so I had little recourse than to pull up stakes, set ablaze my old persona, and set out for newer grounds.

I happened upon PBB simply by mistake, but something kept pulling me back. The unique nature of the site had the possibility of rekindling my inspiration, but new fears and anxieties reared their unpleasant heads.

What if I screw up again?

What use do these folks have for me?

I had no answers... fortunately, the same impulsiveness that doomed me in one community gave me the nudge to join a new one. First impressions are important, so instead of playing a fool like I usually do, I'm coming clean this time.

I realize this little treatise is a bit overdramatic (guilty as charged), ridiculous (you got blackballed for distrusting psychiatrists??) and probably unimportant... but earning new friends requires a first step and this is it.

All that remains now is whether I get chucked out immediately, or if you give me five minutes and THEN chuck me out, lol.

Here's keepin' me fingers crossed. Shocked

Well,we all may have our own little "quirks" here.However,one thing that we all have here is "respect" for everyone's opinions and viewpoints.As a writer of furry fiction and a member of other writer's forums,this is a major plus to being here. Wink

It's a title that's under dispute at the moment.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 09 Jan 2007 Posts: 1556

We can always hold an election for that.

Should your bad luck rear it head, my friend, feel free to stop by my home. I'll be more than happy to loan you one of my weapons to give it a long time coming dose of payback. If everyone was kind enough to welcome me with arms wide open, then rest easy that you too are now among friends and companions who shall watch your back should it be needed.

Slogans, eh?

Here's a few I used at the previous election.

"Vote for Clark, or the goblins will surely kill him."

"A vote for Stargrave is better than swallowing a live grenade... we think."

"If elected, I promise to find the guy who's been stealin' my water and I'll break his ******' legs!!"

Feel free to use them, lol.
