HI! I just recently stumbled across this forum and have finally gotten the nerve to sign up. (I'm stupidly shy when it comes to this stuff). I am the writer of http://the_mctavishams.livejournal.com and xspanishlullaby.wordpress.com, also known as CxNoelle on twitter. My real name is Christi I found this forum through Twitter (I think it was originally linked by SimTopi, but I can't be sure now). I am usually horrible at participating in forums, but I really felt a wonderful sense of welcome and kindness radiating from this group... and this part of the philosophy pretty much solidified it for me: "We write and share our stories because sharing makes us better. Opening a window into another person's soul brings more light into our own." I strongly believe that. Sharing DOES make us better, and we can all learn so much from each other. Okay, so here goes. Erm.. ::waves::

Welcome! Glad you've decided to join us and I hope we do see you around. Don't worry about bumping up old topics if you have something you'd like to add. Also, please feel free to start a thread for your stories. And awww, yeah, that's Stacy for you. It's true. Sharing stories has brought some amazing people into my life. While I was scared at first, I have never regretted it.

vsswarmfuzzies.wordpress.com/Put your name up, and we'll really properly welcome you. I don't know you yet, but I do read your stuff - and it is incredible. I would have invited you here myself but I was a bit scared to comment on your stories. Looking forward to getting to know you. So happy you registered and introduced yourself. Please do make a thread for your stories in the Stories forum so more people can read the awesome - oh man, Kiri, I think you're gonna like this one. Oh yeah, and necro post all you want. We like it when old threads come back up and we hear from new members and have new insights of our own and see how we've changed from the time of our original posts. Also, posting all you want is cool - no worries about double-posting or anything like that. We're very accepting and laid-back here.

I would have invited you here myself but I was a bit scared to comment on your stories. Looking forward to getting to know you. OOh wow. Stacy, thank you! I can totally relate to the "being too scared to comment" bit, but really... don't be!! I'm so laid back.. I hope I haven't ever given the impression to people that I'm beastly or anything, cause I'm really really not... I LOVE hearing from readers, old and new!! I'm just a girl, geeked out with her little stuffed dragon mascot on the desk ("Trogdor"), and squinting at the screen like all the rest of you... seriously. And can I tell you, in the (hour?) I've been a member... I am so glad I joined. I don't know how much I even realized I needed a group like this... THANK you to everyone Beth and Van... OMGGGEEEEEEEEEE loll :]

Welcome to the VSS family! I can understand why you feel shy--I felt the same way when I joined a year ago. So many amazing writers in one place! We're all very kind here. I have to say that this is the nicest forum I've been too (and I've been to a lot)! Can't wait to read your stories.

I didn't think you were beastly and I wasn't intimidated. I'm just a bit wary when it comes to LJ. I am glad that you joined and that you're participating. And also - YAY for posting your name on the fuzzy blog!
