    Hello Fellow Bipeds

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by OctagonalPhantasm, Jul 15, 2020.

    Hey all, newbie here. I live in the states, I work an exceedingly boring desk job by day, and I've just come off a six-year writing hiatus so I feel like some of my attempts to make words go pretty together are going to be pretty awful until I shake the cobwebs out. Only most of them though. I write a lot of spec fic, so I have to keep some of them around for atmosphere. The cobwebs are why I'm here. I suspect that I need some help finding them so I can brush them away.

    What makes you think I'm a biped?

    Maybe I'm a dog with fingers.

    Welcome!

    Thanks everyone! Gosh, what a friendly place.

    Sorry, Room. Didn't mean to be all presumptive. That said, now I'm wondering if a dog with fingers could truly pull off the quadruped lifestyle. The blisters alone would be maddening. What's your secret?

    I dont think I qualify as a biped anymore.

    I'm technically a bipedal quint-wheel?... I dunno, whats the correct term for two legs and five small desk chair wheels?
    Welcome to the forums, regardless, Otcagonal :)

    Out of pure nosey-ness, what was the fanfic about? Although no worries if you'd rather not share.

    I love nosiness! It's not fanfic though; it's spec fic. Or maybe I'm abbreviating things that don't actually have abbreviations and nobody knows what the eff I'm talking about. So, just in case it's that, I write speculative fiction mainly.

    Thank you for the welcome sir!

    Nothing like a bit of speculation now and again.
