Hi, I'm Gin_Ex_Machina
(Or say GEM, Gem, Gin; whatever you like)
 

What is there to say other than the fact that I'm a writer in training, who wishes to share a little of his skill in the future.
I've been a lurker in a variety of forums, but I usually never stay much longer than a day. This one caught my attention, since I kept checking this site for several days. So I gave it a shot.

Let us enjoy the journey together,

Oh, hey! ^^

Hi! :D

If you need any assistance, feel free to PM anyone here. You can go to Help & Info for more information or articles that can help you.

Will do. Thank you for the hospitality, I'll be certain to briskly pace to the Help&Info section later.

I'm trying to be nice to people. No need to thank me. In fact, I'm the one that need to thank you for joining the site! I hope you do create great stories! ^_^

Trying to be nice to people? Well, even if you aren't a nice person normally, I'd say it suits you. Being friendly that is..

Don't thank me yet, I haven't done a thing. You're making me blush from the unnesscary praise.

Will do! I'll make the best story I can manage!

At least I made you to be happier, Gem-kun!

I couldn't be happier, Raven-senpai!
 

Then get back to work on your storygame!

Hey, welcome to the site.

You know there's a lot of difference between GEM and GIN... just sayin'...

I do hope you enjoy your stay here, as long as that might be.

Hi, I'm glad to be a part of it.

Really now? I guess one might say it is CARAT of a difference.

Yeah.. No, I'll stop now..

Hello! Welcome to the forums. Recent ammendments to the site have significantly decreased the amount of wild circus action that takes place around here. Wild circus action being meant only in a figurative sense, of course... Well, in Ryder's case, the term is horrifyingly literal. But don't worry, we're in the process of kicking him out.

Thank you, it's lovely being here so far (Which doesn't mean a lot considering since it's at least 40 mintutes since I joined)

Well, this will be a quite the GEM of a journey. Ahem, I really need to curb that habit.

No worries, Sentinel. I've survived the darkest depths of the interwebs. Circus shenanigans should be right up my alley.

Nice to meet you, Gin. Feel free to drop me a line if you have questions about the site and I hope you enjoy your stay.

Thank you very much for the radiant welcome. Don't worry, I'll be sure to yell when I need any help.

Same to you, kind sir. May our journeys be prosperous.

Lol. Not sure what it is about you, but I'm already looking forward to reading your first project... and, may they be, indeed!

Oh you, I surely do not receive such grand honors for speaking fancy, like the men of olden times did.

Hoh, hoh!

But, I'll do my best to produce some quality work of novelty soon.
 

Haha... I think it's more so what I've seen of your personality thus far. :)

Oh, thankies :D

Sorry, I feel so overly giddy inside when people praise me. Modest, much?

You seem like a pretty swell lad yourself, mate. Seeing as you have 2 stories of your own under your belt, I'll take some of my massive pool of free time to check them both. It's the least I can do.

Welcome!  This site can be very addictive if you're not very, very careful.  :)

>.> Shhh, don't warn him. The more addicts around, the more normal I feel...! 

Oh, I can certainly agree with that statement.

Can't say if this comes out as complete nonsense or not, but this place already feels quite homey even for an lurker, outsider, newcomer and veterans.

I can see why Kiel Farren is addicted to this place.

I hope I get a CYS high soon.

My only regret is that I didn't stumble upon it much sooner...

Preach it, my man.

Preach the knowledge and wisdom.

Welcome to CYS. *tips fedora*

Seems as if you've already wiped your feet before entering, so, for the rest of your time here, make awesome storygames, play awesome storygames, feel free to chat here, and have a great time.

Hey, I like my home crisp and clean after all.

*Tips top hat*

Thank you for the warm welcome, good sir.

Nice to meetcha, Gem. And by the way, that's your official nickname ^-^ Glad you finally decided to join us in an adventure filled with literature and fun! Contact me anytime if you have any questions at all about the wondrous and magnificent Choose Your Story. Don't be afraid to ask. We're always here to help ^-^

-At_Your_Throat (please, call me Throat. Don't tell anyone else :) )

Yay! I kinda hoped Gem would stick as nickname.

Thank you very much for the sincere hospitality, I'll be sure to let you or anyone else know if something is quite amiss.

(Don't worry, Throat. My lips are sealed!)

Welcome!

Thanks, I'm glad to be here.
 

Welcome wonderful wondering soul.

Alliteration is all just fine, but rhyming is just so divine. 

Well, welcome wonderful wondering soul, and make here, a home.

 

Ah, a bit redundant. Sorry. Anyway, you get the gist of the message. As Kiel said, I can't wait to see your first project. :)
(Ack. I swear, I'm turning into JJJ with using that smile all the time...X_x)

Excuse my inner grammar nazi, but I believe you meant 'wandering' instead of 'wondering' in the first sentence.

I hope that didn't sour your expectations of me. I really hope so.

I like rhyming, it's under appreciated in general, so thank you for taking up many minutes to conceive a clever introduction.

Haha, seems like some habits are hard to die aren't they? I have the same problem with puns, most (all) of them are completely awful. See the gemstone puns above for a demonstration.

XD If anything, that increases expectations. A grammar nazi is a good thing for a writing site, as long as it doesn't turn into derailment/etc.

Anyway, if you want to see some well written alliteration, go to BradinDvorak. (written every post in alliteration for a day because of a dare, which didn't really effect length that much.)

They do seem a bit rough cut, merely a reflection of something greater. (er, I think my puns are worse than yours)
