Hey, forum readers. I just thought I'd introduce myself, seeing as how I'm a newbie.

First, I'll start off by saying that, not only am I a newbie on the site, but I'm a newbie when it comes to storygames as well! A friend of mine introduced me to them yesterday through an app on her Ipod Touch, and I immediately became addicted. My curiosity got the best of me, and within a day I found myself looking into such things as these storygames. Low and behold, I found myselff on this site.

Though I'm unfamiliar with the world of storygames, I'm no stranger to writing in general. I've grown up wanting to become a published author, and this seems like an excellent place to stretch my metaphorical wings. Not only would I get a chance to practice writing, but I'd also get a chance to bring readers into my worlds and let them help me decide what the best line of action in a plot would be.

Please understand, some days I have absolutely nothing but time, so I will spend hours writing my own games and giving the best feedback I can on other stories. Other days I am busy the entire day and have no chance to get back on here. Either way, I will try my best to remain an active member of this site.

That being said, I'm looking forward to exploring this site and growing as a writer.

Well that was a fast reply. Thanks.

Within the short time I've been here, your name seems to have cropped up in a ton of areas.

I'll definitely be sure to look into that story. As for the second one, it may be a while and a ton of planning before I even begin to create my first CYOA. I know nothing on scripting, so I probably won't be using its features, but I'll definitely look  into the advanced editor first.

I really appreciate the warm welcome.

Greetings one and all! Oh . . . there's only one of you :P

Okay, that was cheesy. Anyway, I'm Fergie. I'm a regular on here who knows a good deal about this site and the advanced editor. I'll coauthor or test your storygame if you want. Some other regulars are:

Ugilick: Great for coauthoring or story testing

Bo: Is a great editor if you need some help

Cool74: A guy you can talk to and can test your game

October: Can help you in almost any area

JJJ-thebanisher: as his profile says, he's The Grandmaster of the Written Word (so he can help you with anything)

SindriV: He's a great coauthor and cool to debate with

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but a lot of people are regulars around here and I agree with reading Endmaster's stuff. He's a great writer (though . . . a little disturbing) :D

Hope you stay with us for a LONG while!

You and Bo are both in the Co-authors list.

I did find it funny though how they started Ugilick's description with:

Ugilick- although not a very important member of the site....

lol. Even though I'm not considered a regular, at least I'm mentioned.

lol ugi. you're so corrective!
