Ok so, hi all.

Sure i'm a fan of TES games like you all, but I guess my real reason for being here is to contact someone who exists here and it seems I might have to make a few posts first.

Such security measures for spam.... so very... German

Incidently if anyone can enlighten me as to whether i'll be able to send private messages at some point, that would be great! If not, and you read this "Stargelman" - I've been looking for you for about 2 years -.-

[Olen]

IIRC five posts and you go from being a 'new member' to 'member' which allows you to start topics (and presumably gives you full pivilages to use other features).

Starge is very occasionally on the irc channel too, I wouldn't bother expecting for him to be there but if you use IRC anyway you could just idle and hope.

[Ornamental Nonsense]

I'm trying to reach my 5 posts by throwing out this tidbit about myself. I'm a college student who likes to write in her free time. I'm looking to post one or more Oblivion stories on here, for they're stories that I particularly love. I was just going to let them sit idle on another site at first, but then someone created amazing fanart for my stories a few days ago, and, as a result, I've been inspired to spread my stories to other people. Hopefully everyone enjoys them, and as for me, there isn't much else that I care to say. I look forward to being part of the community.

Welcome, ON!

I've already checked out your fan fic (and replied to it), and found it quite good. I recommend anyone else reading this to check it out and add their comments as well. I hope that you find this forum to be wonderful and supportive, and take any criticism in the spirit intended - we all share our beloved stories and want to be better, since there is always room for improvement. Even Shakespeare would agree, though it's hard to top him!

[Zalphon]

Greetings.

[Acadian]

Welcome!

My goodness, with a handle that is longer than that of our own dear Hot Collie Rider, you will no doubt be made to endure nicknames, like OrNo and such. Great fun!

Oh, I know, Ornomint! Write ON!

[Ornamental Nonsense]

Thanks for the greetings everyone! I suppose my name is a bit long, isn't it? I like to use the same name on multiple sites though, so that people can easily find me. I could get used to Ornomint though.


@haute ecole rider
I post of my stories not just for support, but for the constructive criticism as well. As such, I read your post and took your comments in stride, and I'm glad that you're enjoying my story. I got great feedback for it elsewhere, and I only recently reread my own work. Now I'm looking for other opinions on it as well. Plus, I like entertaining people.

I intend to be an active reviewing as well, but alas, I need to find time for that first. I'll get around to it. Blame my job.

[treydog]

Welcome, O Mighty Nonsense! OMNI? Anyway...

I hope you will find this an active and supportive community. I cannot promise to be as much of a reviewer as I might like (darned job), but I look forward to seeing your stories.

*shyly waves hi*

I've been a lurker on this forum for ages on and off but never commented before *looks at her join date wryly*. Have finally decided to take the plunge, mainly because I've been writing a Morrowind fic for a while and am finally managing to get it into posting condition (bits of the first chapter are five years old and don't fit in with the rest of it at all, but previously every time I considered editing it I went "hmm... nah, I'll just write more of it/play the game/go do something completely different instead.") A few things still remain to edit, but I hope - hope - to manage those in the next few days or possibly weeks and then be able to start posting it (although I should warn everyone ahead of time that I will wander off without warning after a while - I do this with everything, however I have a good track record when it comes to coming back for Morrowind.) So!

I'm Kaz, I'm German but have been living in Britain for six years for uni (currently doing my PhD - maths - which I don't talk about much online because it seems to frighten people ). I've actually been writing fanfic for roughly eight years in various fandoms, mainly on LJ and DW if anyone hangs around there, but my Morrowind fic is near and dear to my heart. It's the longest thing I've ever written plus oldest fic I still work on by far. Morrowind itself is my favourite game of all time and one of the few things I still really play - I was into computer games, especially CRPGs, in my teens but sort of lost interest when I went to university. Have never played Oblivion, even! But Morrowind gets to be the exception, I'm just so totally in love with the world and the plot.

Oh yeah, and in case you missed the pronoun up there somewhere I'm female.

So. Hi?

[haute ecole rider]

Welcome! Or Wilkommen, if you prefer!

We look forward to reading your fan fic!

[Black Hand]

Greetings to you, Kazaera, we don't bite here.

Indeed, we get angry when people get mean. They don't last long here.

The Fan Fiction section is always open for new entries, the more the merrier. Folks might give a constructive criticism, but thats just to improve your writing style, which in turn improves confidence.

The Coffee Shop runs 24/7, grab a mug of whatever you like, tell us what your troubles are and generally you'll be well received within 24 hours by lots of sympathetic comments.

The RP section is surprisingly active, though thats just one or two threads at a time.

Otherwise welcome to the forums, and hope you feel a little less shy around us.

[Destri Melarg]

Welcome to the forums, Kazaera.

I know how you feel. I lurked on the forums for months before I decided to take the plunge. You will find that your new readers are friendly, astute, and best of all, voracious!

[treydog]

Excellent! A new vict---. Um, let me start over again.

Welcome, Kazaera. I hope you will find Chorrol to be as warm and friendly a home as have I. We look forward to reading your stories and hope you will read some of the great Oblivion (and other) fan fictions that are offered.

So, be welcome in this place.

[Acadian]

Hi Kaz! Welcome.

[minque]

Herzlich willkommen Kaz! AND Blackie up there sums it all up!

[Olen]

Welcome. And I know the blank looks people give you when you tell them about maths well enough...

I look forward to reading this fanfic

[mALX]

Willkommen Kazaera!

[Helena]

Hi. *waves shyly*

My name's Helena and I'm a big fan of Morrowind (not so much the other Elder Scrolls games, though I have played Oblivion and a bit of Daggerfall). Treydog invited me to join up here so I could post my Morrowind fanfic, 'The Neveragaine', which is already up on fanfiction.net and the Bethesda forums. It's very long so I'll probably start posting it chapter by chapter, starting tomorrow... if that's OK of course.

As for other stuff about me, let's see... *looks at other threads in the forum* I'm an auditor. I'm not very tall. I support marijuana legalisation. And I was born under the Shadow, apparently.

[treydog]

Welcome, Helena! It is a joy to see you here- I think you will find this a friendly place. The pace is slower than other forums, but I hope we make up for it with quality. Your being here has certainly added to that last.
