Hey! How's it going? Well I'm obviously new here and that's why I'm posting in here so yeah. I like... no, love to write, it's my hobby and I do it whenever I can. Unfortunately I'm going through a block and it's really irritating me. I'm 18 and I live in a wonderful, mystical land of faeries and pixie dust... and puppies roaming in open meadows playing with kittens! Australia! (That kinda stuff really doesn't happen and no we don't have pet kangaroos, I've seen a kangaroo as much as you have... in the zoo)
I'm really into punk, metal and rock... music I'm talking about here.
And I really like to play games, as a matter of fact I'm becoming an interactive games developer so yeah.
Well as you can see I'm immensly wierd, but that doesn't reflect in what I write (well somewhat). What I write is really cool and uber! Anyway, I really hope you guys comment on my writings cause no-one does. :(

SEE YA ROUND! ^_^

Hello Aether, Welcome to the Writing Forums.

If you haven't explored the site yet, you should probably do so soon. Newcomers often gravitate to the Lounge, the Word Games, or the Review Room, but there is much more to be discovered if you poke in the corners.

As for the Review Room, new joiners often wonder why we do things a bit differently on this site than on other writing sites. We emphasize reviewing as a critical writing skill. Training your eye by reviewing other people's work helps you improve your own writing even before you present it for others to see. Therefore, we ask members to review other people's writing before posting work of their own. The Review Room on this site, therefore, is a true workshop, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work. See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? (http://www.writingforums.org/showpost.php?p=65432&postcount=1) for more information.

Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!

hey Aether, it is always to see a new person around here, keeps the place interesting. anyways, i am Heather and can normally be found wandering aimlessly around here most of the time so if you ever want a review, need any help with something or just want to chat then send a PM my way and I'll be happy to look. ;)
Heather

Well, you all really know how to make someone feel at home... an electronic home to be exact! Anyway, thanks for those warm welcomes. Now for a cold exit into a cold world... (cry)
(just kidding)

Please read my stuff! And all that jazz! And yeah, don't hold back, I don't want a buttered up response. Just like butter, they're full of crap! I want the freakin celery sticks of responses, You know they're good for you but they taste like crap! ^_^

actually, i love celery. i jst sit there eating a stick of celery, so don't diss. and yea, so it is only a compter world but it's still real people and it does become like a second home, or at least it is to me. anyways, glad that you are fitting in so well. :)
Heather
