Thanks. I'm British, 36 years old, married, father of one. I read widely, but my first literary loves are fantasy and sci-fi.
Welcome to the forums! I hope you enjoy it here, and that we can help you expand your writing skills. If you run into any problems around the site the please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always happy to lend a hand.
Hello WeaselWord, 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? for more information. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!

Thank you. There's one in the "science fiction short stories" section already... it's a bit rude to flood the board with lots from me, though.
