Please introduce yourself here - March 2012 (part 1)
I've not mentioned this in a while...To make navigating the group a bit easier, why not use the 'unread topics' function?
You'll find the link over there on the right>>>> just under the search box.
Click it and you'll get a list of all the threads with new posts. Click the red 'new' and you'll be taken to the newest posts on the thread. Once you've read through all the threads that interest you, click it again and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There you'll find a 'mark all as read' link. Click that and you'll then only see threads with new posts in the future.
I think I'm already lost. Introduced myself yesterday and can't find it anywhere. lol Wonderful.
You are in the February introductions Stella. We have to have a monthly clear-out (though it's in the archive, not gone forever) becasue the thread gets so long and confusing for new members.
Oooh shiny new intro thread. *waits* to say hi to people...
Hi Stella! Sorry I missed the original one!
Hello Stella, you must have posted just at the very end of the thread. Not to worry, you're here now.Welcome to the mad wonderland.
Hi Stella,looking forward to getting to know you.
Sorry Stella, I chopped you off in your prime. I thought most of the new members had passed along when I moved the Feb Intros.Welcome to the group.
Hello:))Ellie here.....looking forward to good reads nd pleasant friendships
take care....
Hello Ellie,pleased to meet you!
Hi Ellie, welcome to the friendliest forum in town!
Welcome ellie. There's plenty of friendships to go around here!
Hello Ellie and welcome. BTW, we are not in a town. We are far more cosmopolitan than that.
Fair enough - welcome to the friendliest forum in the Cosmos!
Hello Stella and Ellie! I'm the only sane one here!
Well you are both telling porkies as not one of us here is sane!!!

Got to have boundaries - or what can you push against?
Emma officially rocks!!! wrote: "Well you are both telling porkies as not one of us here is sane!!!"Hi I'm Jo,
It's good if you say your not sane. It's the people who think their sane that you have to watch out for. I'm perfectly sane btw.
In the rules it says no cute puppies. I have to ask, why no cute puppies? Are we allowed ugly ones instead? I can't be doing with a group that discriminates against puppies altogether.
Hi Jo and welcome ! night night everyone !
I didn't know there was a rule about cute puppies! We'll have to have a word with our moderators about this!! SIMON!!!!
*meow*Ok, perhaps rule two was a bit harsh.
definitely. Take it out and you'll get some nice fishies.
Hmmm. I didn't notice the addition of the second rule.Methinks I need to put a muzzle on our cat.
He's misbehaving quite a bit at the moment, I think we need to give him a good talking to.
I don't even know what you are talking about
Well if the cat's hijacking you, I think you'll need to go the route of password protecting everything. But I have to warn you, cats are notoriously good with a mouse. They can hack anything, they just want you to think they're lying on the keyboard for warmth.
Hi Jo,I'm Sarah owner of the cutest puppy ever,Simon tried to confiscate her but didn't succeed,this is his latest attempt to acquire her.Welcome to our wee corner of madness,what do you like to read?
Good morning Jo. It seems Sarah has beaten me to the insanity warning, ah well. It sounds like you have all the key attributes for increasing our levels of barminess. Welcome.
Hi Jo and welcome. Pull up a floor and get stuck in!
Thanks for the warm welcome and for the warning, it's nice to finally meet a group where insanity is a requirement, not a detriment.I think Sarah, that there is only one solution to prevent Simon from trying to steal the cutest puppy in the world ever. I'm afraid you'll have to clone her. You can make her slightly less cute if it makes you feel any better.
As for what I like to read, I like to read pretty much anything. Although I have not and do not really wish to delve into romance or vampire romance, (unless it's the best romance/ vampire romance book ever). I'm pretty open for any suggestions, especially if anyone can suggest any steampunk lit.
I'm with you on the vampire front though a wee bit romance I can live with if part of a good horror or thriller. Have you had a look at the Group books for the month? we read any that take our fancy than discuss them from the middle of the month.There are lots of recommendations further down the page,you are sure to find something to your liking. I'll put the kettle on and look out the 'tea cosy' you may be gone for a while.
When am I going to get another vampire fan >:(
There, there, Elle. Where did you buy your last vampire fan from? Have they stopped stocking them? Mind you, I never realised you could make a fan out of a vampire. ;)
Welcome Jo. I'm the sane one. They're comming to take me away ha ha.....

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a vamp tale, I like Bram stoker after all. And Van Helsing. I love a good action tale. I'm just disinterested in the new vamp romance craze that's swept the world.
You have found one now.And it's pretty much all I read (part from when I'm attempting to branch out which has been the last year or so in general)

It's ok, I forgive you ;p If you come across an action packed vamp book with none of the soppy stuff I'd be interested though.
Have just looked through some of the book suggestions in this group. Sooooo mannny books. Not one of them a romance :D! will have to browse in more than one sitting. Have just bought a free book. Bad Jo. too many things you should be reading already.
I think I'm going to like it here.
Sarah, you're right, have lots of tea, I'm gonna be a whiles.
Glad you are enjoying yourself Jo!So many books so little time:@)
Hi AllI'm Zoe - read almost anything!
This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
Please start by adding a post to our ‘Introduce Yourself ‘ thread. We are a nosey lot and would love to know who you are, what you like to read (and write), where you live and what you drink, eat, wear and grow.
This thread meanders off-topic quite a bit but as soon as a new member comes along our friendly but bonkers members soon appear to give you a warm welcome.
Of course you don’t have to introduce yourself if you prefer. You could head off to Meet The Authors, check out our monthly book selections. check out the New releases or play some Group Games
Even if you don’t feel ready to post something you are most welcome to sit back and watch the fun.
This forum is very lightly moderated (hardly noticeable), occasionally we will ask you to keep a particular thread on topic and we have a few simple rules about author threads and new releases.
There are plenty of ebook related threads, a wine discussion and a place to share your musical taste.
If you have any problems you can post questions on the threads, someone will come along and help. If you would rather not ask your question publicly by all means send a personal message (PM) to Patti or myself and we will try to help.
The plan is to clear the Introductions thread monthly to see if it makes things a bit easier for new members. Old Introductions can be found in the archive.
