Can I do both the "have many wonderful games of varying degrees of horribleness greatness, but still be a lurker? 

And I'm actually following the strict schedule of only speaking once every blue cheese moon. Blue corn moons are only for beginners!

Same to you, fellow newbie! 

True! I kind of want to do a test storygame first, get some criticism on it, and see how I can improve before I tackle a contest.

I'm not sure, and it's probably connected to a deep, psychological, traumatic event that happened when I was seven...or something.

Or I just like the way it looks. 

Well, look who I see in the "Who Is Online" list below. I should play some of his storygames.

A contest about superheroes? Sounds interesting, maybe I should stop writing about dragons and whip up something about superheroes. Or I could write about a superhero dragon. Or a spy dragon. That could be a thing.

Thank you for the welcome, and I think I am past the point where I cannot survive a little criticism. I have been on the internet far too long to not develop this survival skill!  

I am sure I'll have a lot of fun here. My sense of humor has already been complimented once!

In the last few months my puny introduction has the most effort put into it? And here I was thinking this was a writing site. Anyways, thanks for the welcome, and it's nice to be a favorite. :)

I win already! Mine was exactly eight paragraphs!

Thank you for the welcome, and I will hopefully put the luck to a good use.
